Many diets are structured to lower the intake of carbohydrates. Some extreme diets require that carbs get cut out altogether. What would be the resulting effect on the cells of someone who eliminates carbohydrates from their diet?

Eliminating carbs can be very useful for some people if they are trying to lose weight, if they eat fats such as monounsaturated fats, that’ll help out the body because instead of burning the carbs, they now burn the fat for their new fuel. And those good fats can help reduce your chance of heart disease and your cholesterol levels.

But if you don’t do the diet properly and carelessly just take out carbs entirely without watching your other intakes - you could get ketosis symptoms very severely, and common side effects of that are: fatigue, headaches, and weakness.

Answer:

cause your body to break down fat into ketones for energy Ketosis can cause side effects such as bad breath, headache, fatigue and weakness

Im not sure if its right but ill try to explain why i think this.

Because carbohydrates is a source of energy the human body tries to use a different way to get the energy. And energy is very important to the human body that without carbohydrates this can lead to bad breath, headache, fatigue and weakness.
