In the longer term, removing carbohydrates as a source of energy means your body uses fat and protein as its main source,aiding weight loss.
However, it's worth noting that the idea of cutting out carbs is very broad and not always completely helpful. Carbohydrate is a big food group, consisting of fibre (vegetables, whole wheat, pulses), starch (bread, pasta, rice, potatoes) and sugar (fruit, honey,biscuits, chocolate). For the aspiring slimmer, not all carbs are made equal.
Whilefibre and some starches are generally considered good forms that provide a slow and steady release of energy, sugar ismore contentious, as it provides a huge spike in energy very quickly, which the body is less likely to burn off (unless you're about to do exercise).
There are schools of thought that argue against low carb diets.
One of the primary gripes is that it is simply not practical for day to day living. The process of converting fat to energy (when carbohydrate is not available)is much slower, so dieters can be beset by feelings of fatigue.
