Healthful diet provides the right balance of carbs, fat and protein:
40-50% of calories from carbs
25-35% of calories from protein
20-30% of calories from fat.
This diet is considered low-fat moderate-carbs diet. It is also commonly called "balanced diet"
If you reduce your intake of carbs to about 30% and increase your consumption of protein accordingly, your diet will be considered low-carb diet, which is good for short term weight loss (up to one year).
