    You won't really be able to build muscle without both simple / complex carbohydrates.

    There is a reason the best diets incorporate a healthy mix of protein, fats, and carbs.

    Not saying you couldn't "exist" but your brain needs carbs to function properly.

    I say you could NOT live off of 100% protein.

    They are call ESSENTIAL fatty acids for a reason.

    Can you live without carbs? Absolutely, but your performance in the gym would suffer greatly
