Know that carbs ARE good for you. They are a major source of energy for the body. However, excess carbs not used as fuel can be broken down into long term storage, becoming fat. So if you exercise moderately 3 days a week and don't have enough energy in your body, fat will be broken down to supply that need as a fuel source.
