Cutting out all carbs and just eating protein and vegetables
Carbohydrates are sugars, starches, and fibers that can be found in fruits, grains, vegetables, and milk products — meaning that bread and pasta aren't the only carbs that exist. There are tons of other foods that are high in carbohydrates.
DeFazio said that cutting carbs and replacing them with protein and vegetables is a strategy that she often sees people take, but it's one that usually ends badly.
"When people want to lose weight or eat healthy they say 'I avoid carbs.' That lasts a few days but after a few your blood sugars are low and you end up binging on carbs," she said. "Carbs don't make you gain weight, starving and binging does."
Instead of cutting out carbs altogether, DeFazio recommends eating carbs that have more nutritional value like brown rice, beans, quinoa, sweet potatoes, and fruit.
