[quote=Anonymous][quote=present_tense]Maybe some basic info will help. Carbohydrates are one of the three primary "macronutrients," along with protein and fat. A macronutrient is simply a major nutrient group. The process of digesting carbohydrates breaks down complex forms of the macronutrient into simpler forms of sugar so they can be released into your bloodstream as glucose. Your body needs glucose, so part of your intuition is correct: you do need to consume carbohydrates. [/quote] You do need glucose, but you don't need to get it from carbohydrates in your diet. Fat and protein can both be converted into glucose if necessary through a process called gluconeogenesis. [/quote]
