This is precisely why your body produces the exact amount of glucose it needs to run at full capacity, all by itself!

It's a tiny amount. Roughly a teaspoon worth throughout your bloodstream at any given time. This process is called GLUCONEOGENESIS.

Your body really likes this level of blood sugar. When you add more into the mix through exogenous carbohydrates, it doesn't like that so much. Starts to develop metabolic problems like diabetes, fatty liver, tooth decay, and thyroid dysfunction.

This is why consuming only protein & fat is best; those amino acids are an enormous POSITIVE for the body's overall function, as it's very easy to turn animal tissue into animal tissue.

ZERO carbohydrates are required for any of these bodily processes. In the words of Professor Bart Kay: "The optimal amount of carbohydrates for a human being to consume over the course of its lifetime is not one gram, ever."
