- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

Both of those are biologically necessary. So if we’re going that route, oxygen.
You can live just fine without consuming sugar or caffeine.
Sugar is a bit of a stretch, since we also do need it. We just get it in a lot of food, since a lot of the foods we eat also need sugar to grow and do things.
You can get sugar from carbs, the issue is refined sugars
We do need a small amount of glucose, that’s why I was specific that we don’t need to consume it. We can make the amount we actually need from the protein we eat.
Whether that’s ideal or not is a separate conversation, but we can live our whole lives without consuming sugar or carbs.
We’d literally die if we didn’t eat salt or fat.

Can you survive without any carbs in your diet? An army of zero-carb-diet social media influencers seem to think so.
EDIT: To clarify, my whole point in this thread has been that you can get addicted to salt and fat, both of which are things you need. I don't know why the fuck anyone would want to ramble about whether you can "fully quit carbs". Maybe the best question here is "Why would you and why are you even talking about it?". Again: you can get addicted to things you need. Consuming it in excess is what makes it an addiction. There's no rule that says you can only get addicted to things you want but not need
Dude... they're literally banning fast-food ads in the UK. This is no time to get pedantic haha
And we do need sugar... Carbs are sugar. You need carbs
Don't take this personally but it kinda sucks you got upvoted this much
