Arvind Padmaraju explains that carbs don't cause weight gain on their own. Weight loss comes from a calorie deficit, not carb avoidance. His clients eat 250-300g of carbs daily and still lose fat when they stay within their calorie limits.

Carbs make you fat and you've been avoiding taking carbohydrates that, you know, someone has— some influencer told you that it is make you fat and you're completely avoiding eating carbohydrates. Then watch this video till the end and whether it is a true or a myth, I'm going to share it in this video. Hi, my name is Arvind Padmaraju. I am a health and wellness coach So let's first understand, first of all, why do you gain your weight? So there is a lot of misconceptions about, about, you know, eating carbs will make you fat. That is absolutely wrong. It is not true because sometimes, yes, it will happen because of overconsumption of overall energy. See, your body weight changes based on the energy balance, the amount of energy what you're giving it to your body, the amount of energy you're burning out of your body. When there is an imbalance happens, that means you're burning less and you're taking intake more. In that case, definitely you will gain fat. But if that is happening through carb consumption, yes, you will gain fat. But not just eating carbohydrates, you're gaining fat. The gaining of fat happens only when you are excessively giving energy to your body. Then only you will lose— then only you'll gain fat. Okay, so there are some of the things you need to also understand in the carbohydrates. Why people say that carbohydrates are can contribute into overall consumption goes high because carbohydrates has two kinds of types. One is simple carbs and another one is complex carbs. What is simple carbs? They are into— they are fast-absorbing carbs. They directly get into sugar. They're easily digestible. And complex carbs are something which has fiber into it. It takes a longer period of time to digest your food. So when people are saying carbs will make you fat, what their meaning of it is, you can easily overconsume the higher energy because that higher energy you are consuming, you are converting into a body fat. That is what is the real meaning. But if you can able to eat carbohydrates within your calorie limit— I have some of my clients are even— I have ate almost like 250 to 300 grams of carbohydrates every single day within my calorie limit, and I will still be able to lose fat. Okay, so what is most important is it is all about the— your calorie surplus because of consuming of carbs will make you fat. Not if you are in a calorie deficit, even you are Consuming carbohydrates will not make you fat. Hope that is clear. So don't go into this crazy diets of keto diet and all of that, because a lot of people say that keto diet works like magically, because any diet will work as long as you are in a calorie deficit. You start losing, you start losing body fat. Okay, so not only a one single source. So don't defame any one single nutrient or one single exercise or one single stuff will get you the result. What is The main important, the science, foundational science behind it is when you are in a calorie deficit, you lose weight. You can still do that including eating a calorie carbohydrates. Okay, hope this helps. So eating carbs will not make you fat. Eating carbs over and above your maintenance calories, over and above your maintenance calories, that excess energy will convert into a fat. Hope that helps. Thank you.
