Many people mistakenly think they need to cut their carbs if they want to lose weight. While they might need to cut out refined carbs, they need to eat enough of the right preferred carbs that are low in calorie density but high in nutrient density and fiber. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans shows that most Americans need to increase fiber along with consumption of nutrient-rich carbohydrates.
