Not looking to get into an argument here, but you can live your entire life without ever eating a gram of carbohydrate (your body will synthesize them from amino acids via gluconeogenesis).
Can't live without protein or fat, though.
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet mimics aspects of starvation by forcing the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fuelling brain function. However, if there is very little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures
Nothing to argue about because I never said not to eat any fat or protein
But in short - if you eat enough calories from high carb foods you will easily meet your protein and fat requirements so even if what you say is true (I don't know) it's kinda irrelevant :/
your wrong there are two types of carbs monosaccarides and polysaccaharides the latter being the best carb for the body
and do you even have the slightest idea of how much protein a healthy adult male with an active lifestyle should eat? 1-1.5g per lb of bodyweight, now go eat candy(high carb food) all day and try to reach that quota!
Yes, because I recommend eating candy and drinking Coke to get your carbs.

u said high carb foods, you didnt specify what types of foods therefore you left it open for interpretation so in return it leads me to believe that you are a fucktard
Eats lots of your favourite fruit. By lots I mean like 5-10 servings of whatever it is. 5 bananas, 5 mangoes, half a watermelon, 5 oranges/grapefruits, 7 apples, etc...why so many? You'll get a lot of calories from carbs, you'll feel full and won't get fat.
You shouldn't have your last meal later than 4 hours before bed generally though.
I like eggs and soldiers when it's late.

Everyone arguing ITT. Please post self shot pics. I've read so much misinformation that you might as well show yourselves to make it easier for everyone to see how informed you are.
