It's a tricky subject because everyone uses different definitions of "low carb". I've seen positions from dietary bodies that define "low carb" as less than 40% of your total caloric intake from carbohydrates, which is still a massive proportion. That is why "very low carb" was introduced, obviously still not ideal. For _me_, I'd say I eat very low carb, I aim for max 10-20g of total carbs a day. Yes people tend to get stuck on "carbs" as a single entity and demonise it, which helps nobody. My perception is most people on low/very low carb diets avoid as much processed food as possible, then get their remaining carbs primarily from non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, kale, etc.
