Yes, this is true. Is a diet of only protein and fat as healthy as one that includes carobohydrates?

Your body has an indispensable need for glucose/fructose for DNA synthesis and repair and for brain metabolism. If you have no carbohydrates whatsoever in your diet, you can use certain amino acids and other products of the catabolism of fats and proteins to produce glucose through gluconeogenesis.
