Carbs are important!! Eating less of certain kinds of carbs is a useful trick for losing belly fat. But low-carb eating done wrong causes more trouble than it’s worth for the following reasons: • The mood-boosting neurotransmitter serotonin gets depleted and people get depressed. • The brain and body can become unresponsive to metabolic hormones such as leptin and insulin when carbs are chronically absent. • Thyroid function often slows, leading to a drop in metabolism. Therefore, carbs are an important part of any diet aimed at losing belly fat.
