Living the Low Carb Life, take 2

Do we need carbohydrates to survive?

The answer may surprise you. It's NO.

From Living the Low Carb Life, page 23:

"...the body has no physiological need for carbohydrates. You cannot live without protein. You cannot live without fat. But you can survive perfectly well without carbohydrates. No one is saying you ought to, or that you have to - just that you can. This is simple basic human biochemistry" (emphasis in original).
