Answer 1

Carbohydrates:

2. The main source of energy for the body comes from glucose (the main carbohydrate).
3. Foods like bread, noodles, legumes, juices, rice, and potatoes contain carbohydrates.

Survival without carbs:

1. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the body.
2. A diet without carbohydrates may lead to low energy levels and fatigue.
3. Severe restriction in long term will result in ketosis; fats are broken down into ketones for energy.
4. Sometimes, a low-carb diet can change the body's metabolic process and can hamper mental and physical health.
5. However, excess carbohydrate is bad for our health but survival without carbohydrate is not possible.
6. Carbohydrate food is equally important as protein and fat foods.
