From what I've seen, it doesn't seem that carbohydrates are necessarily bad; it's that they are so calorically dense that cutting them out and replacing with something else less intense (like lean meat or relatively healthy fats) makes a difference. I've lost 30 pounds while baking as a hobby and reducing meat intake to accommodate a family member; my carb consumption is way up. This is in part because I know what I'm eating, in carbohydrate form, and am conscious of the quality and quantity. I'm not necessarily recommending that as a diet plan for anyone; I'm presenting it as a counter to the keto diet items that show now.
