There is currently a "no-carb craze". This is not something one should follow for longer than a week, to be safe, since it may negatively affect one's health by putting strain on the kidneys. When following a no-carb plan, one often loses weight very quickly, but since it’s difficult to maintain, many times the weight lost is regained very quickly once going back to eating "normally".
Rather focus on a plan that can be followed long-term and will result in slower, but more sustainable weight loss. Choose high-fibre, low-fat carbs for meals during the day. If you choose one meal where you skip carbs, do this for the evening meal when you are least active and therefore need less energy.
