Why remove all carbs. Carbs are just as important as the other macronutrients (i.e. fat, protein). A better idea might be to cut out all refined carbs (like sugars, syrups, highly refined grain/white bread, etc) and rich, high fat foods. I've had very bad luck by removing carbs completely, but I can usually get much leaner by aiming for less processed carbohydrate like fruits, starchy veggies and whole grains, and choosing good proteins.
