You'd slowly starve to death.
Your body needs the other nutrients to survive. That's the simple answer.
The other is without decent carbs, your brain is gonna work alot slower. You'll start to feel a little...um...dumb?
Not to mention, you'll have a likely have a tough time taking a shit.
It's a crappy answer I know, but just think of it that way, it's easier (maybe I need more carbs...lol!)

There is a man that comes into the restaurant I work at 2x everyday and eats 32 oz of red meat per day or salmon is his other choice for protien. He eats greens and drinks only H2O. He is forever ill with some type of ailment. He can't sleep, can't shit and urinates constantly!
Yes he let's us all know the gruesome details of his habits. He tries many many types of supplements, new ones almost every week. A friend of mine runs a nutrition store and had to ask him to not come back to buy anything else from him...he'd make him order in new products that he'd researched and then want to return them cuz they were making him sick!
I think this man has other problems like being obsessive compulsive, I think, by the way he behaves having to sit at the same table and always aranging things just so. If his salad comes out with a few too many carrots, he sends it back.
He has become worse over the past year, and cannot figure out why. He has seen many doctors but must think they are lying to him, cuz he WILL NOT eat carbs! He has become gaunt and lost weight and the colour in his face. My bf used to work there to and knows he stuff about nutrition and bbing, tried to explain to him the need to at least give your body some carbohydrates to survive. But he continues to starve his body of some very important nutrients. He is slowly killing himself and doesn't even know it!
It's very sad to see it.

It's called a Protein Sparing Modified Fast and is used to cases of extreme obesity. It is NOT applicable to a bodybuilding/fitness diet because 1. Should only be used if you have a complete and total idea of what your doing because it can be dangerous and 2. You'll feel like utter shit.

I went no carbs all last week. Now I've been sick all this week. I don't know if the two have anything to do with each other or if it is just coincidence but I don't think I'll be doing it again.

lol...isn't the whole point of a CKD to get a lot of fat? You can tell her the CKD won't even work because 58% of the protein will be deanimated.

Fat is only added to a CKD to help with cals to avoid metabolic slowdown. When you eliminate the fat you repalce taht with bodyfat (hopefully..depends on person P ratio and such) which is the principal behind the PSMF. The problem is, all sorts of health dangerous accompany it and metabolic slowdown happens QUICK, 48-72 hours until your metabolism slows to a crawl.
