There are essential Fatty Acids and Proteins, that you can only get from your diet.

There is no such thing as an essential Carbohydrate, your body can produce them if need be.

I get your point, but technically not correct.
Carbs are not essential, but also, your body doesn’t produce them. Your liver can metabolize both proteins and alcohol to create moderate amounts of blood glucose, but for the most part, ‘blood sugar’ is the result if carbohydrate intake... and whenever your blood sugar levels rise to any significant level, the subsequent insulin reaction causes your cells to convert the blood glucose into fat. That is the strange reason why sugar intake creates fat, but fat intake does not create fat. Insulin.
