You need fat and carbs ( I love them both!!!) it just has to be the right kinds, and in the right ratios.
without knowing the specifics, it is hard to tell you what to change, journal your food intake for a wek, figure out how many calories you are taking in, are you consistent?
Some whole grain bread and pasta is opkay, life isn't worth living if you constantly deny yourself the foods you love, they just need to be in moderation. Carbing up once a week ofr one meal, sometimes even twice a week, can be very beneficial. Try eating only veggies and lean protein with some good fats like olive oil for thre days and then having a meal of whole grain bread or pasta or brown rice the evening of the third day. This type of cycling can be very effective, but it all eventually boils down to calories in versus calories out, not how much you reduce carbs and fats in your diet (which can be counter productive).
Good luck
