Cutting out all carbohydrates is a common misconception when it comes to the topic of losing weight. Our bodies need some and certain types of carbs in order to thrive, so getting rid of carbs altogether would only do more harm than good. On the other hand, there are low-carb diets which are more helpful when losing weight; maintaining the carbs your body needs, while removing the bad and excess carbs. Our bodies only need a certain amount of carbs before it becomes too much and then leads to our bodies storing it as fat, or adipose tissue. These "good" or "natural" carbs include grains, vegetables, seeds, fruits, nuts, milk, and legumes. To say that there also aren't complications with this would also be false: fatigue, constipation, low energy, and headaches. Furthermore, to say "cutting out carbs is the only way to lose weight," would be the biggest underlying myth as there are a variety of ways and methods when it comes to weight loss. Weight loss is a personal journey and experience and what works for one person might not work for another.
