Is carbs okay for weight loss?

I'm working out a lot to lose weight, but I'm confused about carbs. Some friends say to avoid them completely, while others say they are essential. Can I still eat carbs and lose weight, or do I need to cut them out?

I am planning to start my weight loss journey from next week. I read that we should completely stop eating rotis and rice. Is that really true, or can we have a little bit of rice during lunch?

My doctor clearly explained that complex carbohydrates are essential for gut health and sustaining energy. She advised me to keep carbs around 45-50% of my daily calories, focusing on whole grains, and just avoid simple sugars.

Carbs are totally fine, it is the calorie surplus that makes you gain weight. Stop eating junk like pizzas and biscuits, but don't cut out your basic ghar ka khana like rotis and dal. Just keep an eye on portions.

I used to get so stressed and count every single gram of carbs, which made me really anxious. Honestly, having moderate complex carbs like oats or daliya actually helped me lose weight without losing my mind. Just stay positive!
