Like Jim said, 40 percent of your diet should come from carbs. So even though low- and no-carb diets are wildly popular, to lose fat for good, you'll still want to eat carbs.
"Many people make the mistake of going low carb or trying to cut carbs altogether; you want to do the exact opposite," Shana recommended. "Our body needs carbs to survive: it's fuel for our body and brain."
As for what type of carbs to eat, she recommends complex carbs that have fibre to fill you up. "These can include healthy grains like quinoa, which is also a protein, whole wheat bread, oats, barley, or farro."
