Low carb diets restrict the consumption of carbohydrates. Foods that contain easily digestible carbohydrates ( for example : sugar, bread, pasta) are replaced or limited with foods that contain more fats and protein in moderate amounts (such as meat, pultry, fish, shellfish, eggs, cheese, nuts and seeds) and foods that contain a low amount of carbohydrates ( spinach, kale, chard). The amount of carbs that is allowed depends on the type of the low-carb diet that you are following.

A popular belief among people that try to lose weight is that with reducing the carb intake you can avoid weight gain from the calories in other macronutrients. However every weight loss from low-carb diets comes from a reduced overall intake of calories.
