Hlo doctor now my body fat percentage is above 30%. I want to reduce it to below 10%. So that I am planning to cut all the carbs and want to replace with protein food (including whey protein) along with some workouts. I am going to avoid salt also. Can I do these things. If any thing wrong in my plan plsss suggest me a better plan. Thank you in advance.

Average person's body fat% ranges from 14-20%. You need to have balanced diet 50% Carbs, 25% Proteins and 25% Fats. If you drastically cut down carbs, you will lose essential nutrients. Such crash diets eventually will crash and you will be back to your original weight after a few weeks and months. I have seen many people try such exotic diets but it never works in long run. Core issue is poor eating habits and lack of exercise. Unless you change this, things will not work out. Aim for health and fitness. That's the only way to a permanent change.
