One of the questions I get asked the most:
“Do I need to cut out carbs to lose weight?”
And the short answer is:
No — you don’t need to completely eliminate carbs to see results.
???? Carbs are not the enemy
They’re your body’s main source of energy!
What really matters is the type of carbs, the amount, and how they fit into your lifestyle and goals.
???? Let’s break it down:
✅ Good carbs:
Examples: fruits ????, veggies ????, legumes ????, whole grains ????
↠ Rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals that support your body and help you feel full and energized.
❌ Refined carbs:
Examples: white bread ????, pastries ????, sugary snacks ????
↠ These cause quick spikes in blood sugar, followed by crashes that leave you tired and craving more.
???? So why do people lose weight fast when they cut carbs?
Often, it’s water weight — not fat.
Carbs are stored in the body with water. When you reduce your carb intake, you naturally lose some water weight at first.
???? Bottom line:
You don’t need to cut carbs completely.
Just choose healthier sources, watch your portions, and keep it all in balance based on your goals.
