Many people trying to lose weight often cut carbohydrates from their diets, assuming it will speed up fat loss. But a fitness coach has cautioned that this approach may be doing the opposite.

The fitness coach has urged people to rethink their approach to carbohydrates, warning that cutting them out of the diet may be doing more harm than good.

In an Instagram post, trainer Bobby addressed common misconceptions about carbs and explained why avoiding them can negatively affect weight loss and overall energy levels.

“Your body needs carbs to burn fat efficiently,” he said, adding that eliminating them can have the opposite effect. Many people, he noted, remove foods like bread, rice, and even fruit, only to experience low energy, weakened workouts, and increased sugar cravings.

“You might have cut out bread, rice, even fruit, thinking that’s the real secret. But now, your energy’s kind of low, your workouts feel flat, and you are craving sugar every night,” he said.

Bobby emphasised that carbohydrates are not the enemy but the body’s primary energy source. He said restricting them for long periods can undermine progress.
