Cutting out sugar and starch will help with weightloss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it can help.: Cutting out sugar and starch can help weight loss. The reason is that carbohydrates cause weight gain because eating carbohydrates leads to the release of the fat-storage hormone insulin, which acts to remove nutrients from the bloodstream and store it as fat.
