So you go from "does not seem well rounded" to "therefore is essential"?
Here's some facts.
There are nine essential amino acids that our body needs to function properly and cannot produce by itself from something else.
Meat provides those amino acids and carbs do not.
Carbs are a source of energy but so is fat, proteins, ketones and alcohol.
In addition to reversing diabetes, people on low carb / high fat diets, including carnivore, often report increase in overall energy levels and lifting of a mental fog that they experienced on standard carb and sugar heavy diet.
That energy spike that carbs and sugar give you is a glucose spike in blood and the downside of it is that often it goes in the other direction (i.e. lethargy) when you come off of it.
That's the "nap after heavy meal" effect.
This is not an anti-carb just anti what you do, elevating carbs into some unquestionably good, unique energy source necessary for you to think or love your body.
Consuming carbs in moderation is fine.
The problem is that our modern diet and what is available in grocery stores or restaurants make it almost impossible to consume carbs in moderation.
And apparently plenty people like you don't even understand that carbs are, in fact, bad for most people.
U.S. stats on this are shocking: 73.6% americans over 20 are overweight and 42.4% obese (all obese people are overweight but not all overweight people are obese)
