• Eaten in the right quantities and as part of a balanced diet, carbohydrates will not lead to weight gain.

• While consuming excessive calories from any source can lead to weight gain, carbohydrates themselves are not solely responsible for weight gain.

• Carbohydrates are a macronutrient that provides energy to the body. They are an important component of a balanced diet and are necessary for optimal physical and mental performance.

• Complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, are digested more slowly and can help regulate blood sugar levels and promote satiety.

•  Simple carbohydrates, such as refined sugars and processed foods, can cause blood sugar spikes and contribute to overeating. 

• Balancing calorie intake with physical activity is also key to maintaining a healthy weight.

• The amount of carbohydrates that you consume should be balanced with your overall calorie intake and physical activity level. Consuming excess calories from any source, including carbohydrates, can lead to weight gain.
