No we don’t actually need any at all. Our liver will produce what is essential from protein. That said actually having none at all is quite hard unless you are totally carnivorous. All veg and dairy has low levels of carbs so that is where most of us get the bulk of our carbs from.No carbs at all?
Don’t we need some even a tiny amount?
Or does the natural carbs in food cover that?
I am fine at weekends but then I’m at home where nothing can happen or I’m close to things.
Or are you thinking purely of the rice, pasta, potato, sugar, flour, cereal and bread items (obvious starchy carbs). In which case no you can happily exist without any of these at all.
