Hello
Hope you are doing well
Yes we need to eat carbohydrates in daily routine to give energy to our brain and nervous system as these two systems works only on carbs fuel
So if you will not eat adequate amount of carbs you will have symptoms like headaches, drowsiness , craving for energy dense foods
So please eat adequate amount of carbs and for the adequate amount you need to tell me about your age , height and weight and physical activity

Hi
Carbohydrates are definitely the primary source of energy to the body.
You losing weight is good but strict diet and strenuous exercise all through the year is not the fad of the day.
Ultimately on the long run you have to settle down to Noel routine.
Normally the percentage carbohydrates in your routine suggested is 40-50% if u try to complete cut down carbs and have only proteins and fats the breakdown products will get accumulated in body and give more efforts on the heart and kidneys to pump out the extra toxic materials.
Hence carbohydrates has to incl in your diet or else u could end up have ketosis and kidney and liver issues.
The carbs you eat could be for the much neglected part of the food kingdom millets ( ragi, Samai, little millet, barnyard millet), oats, quinoa etc
Health Tips
Suggestion have millets instead of rice and give yourself a CHEAT day
That day you could have white rice.
Once in while giving in to temptation for sweets or chocolates is not wrong.
The cheat day could be once a week or once in ten days.
If you go out for a party and wedding and splurge on the menu main sure next day your extra careful in your diet.
Many pointers can be added to shift to your normal routine.
If need be pls connect with me through Practo
