What did carbs ever do to them? Those are necessary macronutrients and a good source of fast energy.

I’m not team low carb but it is the one macronutrient you don’t need. But you feel like shit without them. So

Fair point, fats can easily replace it, but it still is rather useful for when quick bursts of energy are needed and the feeling part as well.

I've been low crab for a while now. Shit's expensive.

How come carbs are expensive?
Dried goods(pasta, rice, buckwheat, oats) and vegetables(potatoes, carrots) are one of the cheapest foods available. Potatoes being one of the most satiating foods as well.

Maybe they meant to say that being low carb is expensive because all they buy is protein?

Fair point, that would make more sense.
