Hey,
your body can only store 2 days worth of carbohydrates!.
after that all the carbs you take in that are not needed to produce energy in your body are stored as fat!.
if you don't eat ANY carbs then after day 2 of this your body starts living off the stored fat you have!. if you don't have much stored fat then it will start eating at the muscle!.
If you are thinking about the atkins diet please read up on it!.
you can do it but be careful!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Within about a week, your body would begin a process called autolysis!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.That means that your body is actually living off itself!.!.!.!.!.!.Not medically recommended, ESPECIALLY if you have or have a history of diabetes mellitus in your family!.!.!.!.!.!.Forcing the body into ketosis can be dangerous!.!.!.!.!.I would NOT recommend it!.!.!.!.!.I would check with your primary care provider before undertaking such a diet for that period of time!.!.!.!.!.!.

Not eating carbs for a month - none at all - will make you sick!
The body needs all the nutrients in a balanced diet - carbs and fat too!. If you want to loose weight, you'll need to eat different nutrients at different times - and obviously reducing some (f!.ex!. fat), but you can't CUT any of them without loosing at the loosing battle!! (So to speek)

By the way - ketosis makes the entire body emit an odoeur similar to bad breath (and drying cat poo - I have (sadly) recently found out!)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

lots of health problems!.!.although i do appreciate avoidance of complex carbs such as rice,noodles and bread,i woudnt even pretend to suggest avoiding simple carbs such as those found in fruits,veggies,beans,dairy foods and grains!.!.!.you can lose lots of weight quickly(which i guess no one woudnt appreciate)but its still not healthy!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Our bodies need a constant supply of energy to function properly and a lack of carbohydrates in the diet can cause tiredness or fatigue, poor mental function and lack of endurance and stamina!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

eating no carbs whatsoever!? you'd probably be drained of all your energy because carbs contain energy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
