Don’t cut out food groups
I don’t know where the ‘carbs are bad’ myth came from but FORGET IT! In cutting out carbs the body still needs energy, and the similar molecular makeup of carbs and proteins make them interchangeable. This means that without carbohydrates available the body will use protein molecules for energy- both ingested protein and that already in the body as muscles. Cutting out carbs may result in weight loss, but this is muscle loss not fat burning. Perhaps cut down on carbs, but don’t cut them out.
