Complex carbohydrates are not the enemy. Whole grains, beans, fruit, and starchy vegetables are a major source of fiber and nutrients, and they make it easier to build a diet that is filling without being fussy.
If someone cuts them all out, they may see quick changes in appetite or weight, but they can also miss the benefits that come from fiber, gut support, and easier day-to-day energy. The long-term risk is usually a diet that is too narrow to live on comfortably.
A better move is to choose better carbs, not zero carbs. Keep the ones that come packaged with fiber and micronutrients, and reduce the highly refined stuff that brings calories without much staying power.
This is general information, not professional medical advice. For decisions about your situation, talk to a qualified professional.
