    Physiologically speaking you do NEED carbs. To fuel your brain, or else it doesn't run properly.

    Maybe. Carbs are non essential though. You can live without them.

    So I should have an iPhone with no apps. And no Coach bag to put the useless tool in. Got it.

    Can you give an example of a vegetarian food that doesn't have carbs?

    Also out of curiosity what the heck would your diet consist of if you didnt eat dairy meat or carbs? Mustard, parsley, and coffee? I think that someone would have an awful time living a nutrient dense life while eliminating ALL of those things.

    Isn't a whole lot left really then, is there lol ?
    Not ready to give up my cottage cheese and greek yoghurt quite yet, though I am considering trying goats milk/yoghurt.
    Certainly don't think I will get too far in my workouts with no carbs at all, thus nope, not giving those up.
    Don't eat much meat anyways.
    Don't go much for fast food, and limit my processed, so I think I am good to go ;)

    Meat

    Maybe you don't - but I do!
    Diary

    What's wrong with diaries? Lot's of people like to write.
    Carbs

    Finally, something we agree on. Not need, but like some.
    Processed Foods

    More agreement.
    Fast foods

    And some more...
    TV

    If you mean broadcast TV/antenna, I gave that up 7 years ago. I do have a bigass TV that I watch movies on.
    iphone apps

    They've become pretty handy. No games though.
    Coach bags

    ??
    A Cadillac Expedition

    Nobody needs one of those.

    Our bodies can convert proteins to glucose.

    I have no idea what's going on in this thread, but I seriously love the snark that's everywhere.

    Also, I seriously need my diary. Otherwise I'd say out loud all the things I wish I could say to people whose IQ only rivals their shoe size. Then I'd get fired. I need money, thus I need my job, thus I need my diary. Logic'd!

    GLUCOSNEOGENOSIS. Essentially your body eats it's own tissue, which is harmful over a long period of time. First to go is the liver, which is mightily important to life.

    I eat less than <50g net carbs on a vegan diet. For example, the seaweed I eat has .8g of carbs per bag, the protein powder I use is 2g carbs per serving, and the bread I use is 8g net carbs each. If you live off of fruit of course you'd be eating a lot more carbs but I don't eat fruit. I can get all of my micros from vegetables.
