POPSUGAR reports consistent overconsumption of carbohydrates [carbs] could lead to weight gain, however that doesn't mean they need to be cut out of your diet entirely.

To avoid feeling lethargic, it is recommended to eat carbs, and consume a well-balanced diet that includes protein, fats, and minimally processed foods. Machowsky added "Carbs are calories so whether you eat too many carbs, too much fat, or too much protein for what your body is burning, there's a potential that you'll gain weight.” In addition, to ensure you’re getting enough carbs for energy but not overeating, Machowsky advised, "The general guideline has traditionally been [to consume] anywhere from 120 to 140 grams of carbs per day as a baseline."
