Carbohydrates can be part of a weight loss diet. They're a main source of energy for the body and brain and don't prevent weight loss by themselves.
What matters is:
the type of carbohydrate
the amount
and the overall balance of your diet
balantia helps you track the carbs you eat so you keep a balanced diet that supports your goal.
Which carbohydrates are more helpful?
Complex carbohydrates are better, because:
they are rich in fiber
they digest more slowly
they help with longer satiety
Such options include:
whole grain cereals
legumes
fruits
vegetables
A balanced meal combines carbs with protein and fats, to support energy and satiety.
What needs attention?
The processed carbs, like:
white bread
sweets
pastries
they usually have low nutritional value and can lead to sudden ups and downs in energy and appetite, especially when consumed often.
What to keep in mind
Weight loss mostly depends on the calorie balance, meaning eating less energy than your body uses, over time.
So, you can lose weight without cutting out carbs, as long as:
you include them in moderation
choose quality sources
and stay consistent
