Carbohydrates are pretty much the main source of energy for the body, so a diet that is rich in dairy but lacking in carbohydrates is probably the correct answer.

Answer:

The correct answer is- A diet that is rich in dairy but lacking carbohydrates

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy and it is the most important source of energy in the body. These carbohydrates can be found in vegetables, fruits, nuts, and dairy products.

Carbohydrates in our diet are mainly in complex form which is then broken down into simpler sugars like glucose and then this glucose is used by cells to generate energy for the cell to perform metabolic activities.

Therefore if a diet lack carbohydrates than it lacks those nutrients that provide energy to the body so the right answer is first.
