Why would I do that??

Why milk, how would that prove anything milk has carbs in it, plus I don't like milk.

Why wouldn't I just eat normal food, like meat, fish, vegetables, salad, just normal every day stuff??

Why does it always have to be something stupid with you people that makes no sense??

You could not exsist without carbs, wouldn't happen straight away, but you'de be a very sick camper.

I don't wish to sound argumentative here, but the correct answer is we do not need carbohydrates, what our body needs is glucose. What we need is some essential amino acids and some essential fatty acids, since our body can not manufacture these from within, hence we need these from an external source, making these certain amino acids and fatty acids essential for life.

Having said that, there are no essential carbohydrates/sugars that our body needs, as it can make glucose from proteins and fats as I've stated before.

Spot on 100% correct.

What they don't realise is that the brain actually runs on glucose NOT carbohydrates as stated by Goosey and the body manufactures it's own glucose as stated, no need for carbohydrates.
 

Stupid. Does black market liver tabs from out behind the hungry jacks dumpster count.
 

No shit and you can go three days without water, are you going to do that also.

Surely we are all aiming for optimal here not the bare minimum we can survive on. So piss these no essential carb arguments off. It's not a good argument for low carb diets.
 
Three days without water? What's that got to do with my post now? And who here is talking about a low or a high carb argument. Please read my posts carefully before you respond, or rather, react to them. Thank you.

If you can find a single thing wrong with what I've written, please point it out, preferably in a mature manner. I'm waiting.
 

Fadi. You didn't say anything new. All you did was repeat what had been said multiple times by others but in a long winded yoda speak version.

Oh I get it, thank you. I'm sure you must've noticed, that my response was prompted by Andy's claim when he wrote the following:

That's what I was responding to. Now you're telling us that what I've written is nothing new. Fair enough mate, perhaps it's new to Andy (but not you). Again I must reiterate, I'm not arguing for or against carbs, that was not the purpose of my post. I hope other members can clearly see that.
 

Fadi

The body cannot function properly on food void of carbs.


Therefore carbs are essential

Im fair dinkum over of these tit for tat discussions.
