Happyone posted the original post I was referring to and Brunneria defended the post. so my post was aimed at both.
Ok, but you're still wrong though. You can remove all carbs without becoming ill. Carbohydrates are not an essential nutrient. The body does need some glucose but it can make it itself by gluconeogenesis. 'Essential Nutrient' means something that the body cannot manufacture at all or in large enough quantities by its self (assuming that one is eating all the other essential nutrients). This seems to be something that confuses a lot of people, dieticians in particular. There is a clear difference between making your own glucose in the liver and needing to eat carbohydrates.
It's difficult that to do that but it wouldn't be a problem. There is no deficiency disease for carbohydrate.

We don't HAVE to, but . . . . . . . .
If you remove carbs then you will become ill. It is a necessity to eat some but how much is tricky.
Justify your statement please.
I eat an apple, strawberries, blueberries, rhubarb and lots of non starchy vegetables.Went from 8.3 blood sugar level diagnosis to 5.7 in a year and lost 3 stone. I KNOW that everyone is different but I scratch my head at the thought of a zero, no carb eating plan. There will be a lot of vitamins lost that will have to come from supplements - which I am not against - to keep healthy. Constipation will be a bigger problem???
On top of everything, human bodies do require certain minimum dose of carbs everyday. If we google, most sources indicate that - Actual value of carbs in grams per day ranges from 100g to 300g per day for healthy people. And for T2D this range is about 80-150g (different sites, different values)
As carbs are not essential, that means you don't need any. That means it is possible.
That is a different thing from saying you shouldn't eat any or it is necessary not to eat any for diabetes management.
As I said it would be difficult but if you could be bothered it wouldn't be a problem.
I've never suffered from constipation on a low-carb diet. I rather suspect that the notion that low-carbing = constipation is just an assumption based on the 'fact' that whole grains are healthy and are fibrous. Watch the video above where fibre is discussed.
I'm not sure why you are arguing here though other than for the dubious thrill of it?
