Carbohydrates are the energy builders within your body. Without enough carbohydrates, you are going to feel very lazy and will not have enought energy to complete your workout. They are also essential to help your body absorb protein, which will help you build muscle.
The amount of carbs you need daily depends on how hard you will be training, but a good starting point to consider is 2 grams per pound of bodyweight. Remember as you lose weight, be sure to adjust your carb intake accordingly. Excess calories will be what is going to make you fat.
