Carbs are not essential, in fact you can survive and thrive without them. Fat and protein are essential, however.

Why do you say that carbs should be your main energy source? I've seen no sound scientific evidence to support that claim.

I don't eat many carbs any more, and I'm living a lot more healthily as a result. It works for me. However, please do note that I'm not interested in getting into a debate with you on this -- that's the reason I wrote "sugary carbs"[1], which pretty much everyone agrees are bad for you.

[1]: Glucose, fructose, wheat flour are the most common culprits
