Aren’t carbs necessary for my body?

No, carbs are not necessary for your body if you're on the keto diet. The primary macronutrient that is restricted on the keto diet is carbs. Keto focuses on eating a high-fat diet with moderate protein and very low carb intake. This type of eating helps to put your body into ketosis, which is when your body starts to burn fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. Therefore, carbs are not needed for your body on a keto diet.

However, if you wish to take advantage of the health benefits associated with low-carb eating, then you should incorporate small amounts of healthy carbs into your diet from sources such as vegetables and certain fruits. In general, it's best to avoid processed carbs and focus on nutrient-dense, whole-food sources. This will help your body to get the necessary nutrients that it needs while avoiding excess carbs.

Additionally, be sure to drink plenty of water and get regular exercise for optimal health. Keep in mind that you should always consult with a doctor or registered dietitian before starting any new dietary program.
