Do carbohydrates really make you gain weight?
Let’s bust this common myth with Clinical Dietician & Nutritionist Munira Hasanali at Zia Medical Center.
Carbohydrates are your body’s main source of energy — supporting the brain, muscles, and vital organs. Weight gain occurs when we consume excess calories over time, not simply because we eat carbs.
The key is choosing the right types: whole carbohydrates such as oats, quinoa, brown rice, fruits, and vegetables are rich in fibre and nutrients, helping you feel fuller and supporting healthy weight control.
Carbs are not the enemy — portion, quality, and balance matter.
