While it is true that you don't technically have to ingest carbs because your body makes what you need.

Carbohydrates are a macronutrient and low carb diets do not magically equate to more weight loss If calories are the same.

So why deprive yourself of all the carby goodness? lol

I find them particularly helpful during my runs and athletic endeavors like obstacle courses and training for them.

When you're running slow then your body can use oxygen to burn fat as fuel but whenever you're doing anaerobic activities like weightlifting and sprinting then you need carbs as a quick source of energy.

I have another article that I'll be posting soon that goes into the fuel sources during different levels of activity.

So all that to say is just account for carbs as part of your total calories and eat a balanced diet.
