Glossary
Below is a list of terms used by various articles on this site (so they
don't have to be re-explained each time they are used).
- LCHF diet
-
low carbohydrate, high fat diet. Used to attain or maintain a keto-adapted
(also known as a ketogenic or fat metabolizing) state. See the Seeking42
low carb diet
series.
- net carb
-
total carbohydrates minus fiber. That's how I use the term, using
data from a food's Nutrition Facts label if it exists, or from a
site that seems trustworthy (such as
this one), or
my own best guess.
Some people subtract a fraction (or none) of the fiber.
Since there is
no legal definition,
always take a "net carbs" number with a grain of salt,
especially from a manufacturer's label.
- urawaza
- ninja trick (a loose translation using the modern usage of "ninja").
A more literal translation of this Japanese term might be
something like "clever, alternative technique". Also known as a life hack.
