Dr. Aravind Padmaraju explains that carbs don't directly cause weight gain. Weight change comes down to total calories in versus calories out. You gain weight when you eat more than you burn, regardless of whether those extra calories come from carbs, fat, or protein.

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 are burning less and you are taking intake more. In that case, definitely you will gain fat. But if that is happening through a carb consumption, yes, you will gain fat. But not just eating carbohydrates, you are gaining fat. The gaining of fat happens only when you are excessively giving energy to your body, then only you will gain fat.
