>carbs aren't needed by the body, so therefore, stop eating carbs

>are you on a ketogenic diet?
>why yes I am.
>fat isn't needed by the body, so therefore, stop eating fat.
>well then, what shall I eat?
>you should eat carbs instead. I don't believe this diet is called anything, it's just a little more traditional. After you only eat carbs, the body starts using carbs instead of fat.
>well, it looks like you and I have both suggested that we convert to each other's diet.
>and little would come from it.
>I agree. I think, from now on if we should discuss which one is better, our arguments should be restating what is already known.
>I too agree. We should use other factors, such as what foods are high in fat and likewise high in carbs and what effects the entire nutrient content of these foods have on the body, positive or negative, and then we can defend our positions with more faith and evidence.
