Oh, I eat carbs, I just avoid sugar because I don’t want to fuck up my teeth (more). I try to stay away from things like white bread, plain pasta, and pretzels that just turn into sugar when in contact with saliva, but the main part of my diet is lentils, beans, and grains, so I’m definitely not avoiding carbs in general.
But societally, I think you’re right- avoiding all carbs and sugars makes it really hard to get enough fiber, which makes a huge difference in how I feel, at least.
