I do low carb and have for 2 1/2 years. I love it but found early on that in order to do low carb sucessfully you have to know what your doing. You have to understand the logic behind low carb and not just instantly jump into it without knowledge.
First and most importantly to adopt a low carb way of eating you must plan on eating this way as a lifestyle change because low carb really works but only if your dedicated.
Ok to answer your question. Meat and eggs are probably the only things that have zero carbs. Has to be natural meat and not lunch meat or hotdogs as these have carbs because they have fillers. Most foods have carbs but some of them the carbs react differently once eaten. Items such as potatoes, rice, sugar, flour (notice these are white) are really bad for you and corn which is not a vegetable at all but a grain (think corn syrup). They actually are so high in carbs that once you eat them they actually begin acting like a sugary item because once broken down they turn into sugar in the stomach rising your blood sugar. This is why diabetics should limit these items if not eat them at all. But carbs in veges like broccoli, cauliflower, salads etc are very low and will not react badly once eaten.
Do your homework before jumping into any diet. NO diet works unless your committed to change how you gained weight in the first place. You will lose and once start eating all theo old things poof all that weight will come back.

well , its not that simple , it's not the lowest but the best of the carbs u may seek , and these are almost all the vegies , My number one is tomatoes , almost negative calories and a very good source of vitamines , The meat has almost 0 carbs but has too many saturated fat to considered healthy so Turkey and ALL the fishes especialy the fatest of them like sardines are considered to be the healthiest since the great amount of Omega complex fats ,
Egg Whites !!! pure proteins no carbs no fats no cholesterol

Meat has zero carbs, not lunch/deli meat, but ground beef, steaks, turkey, etc. Fish also has zero, but not scallops! Bottled water, sugar-free Jell-O, diet soda, etc.
Eggs do have carbs though.
