A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect on a person’s health, when the body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates it must then upset protein supplies for energy, a process called gluconeogenesis. This, however, results in a lack of necessary protein, and further health difficulties may occur. A lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build-up of ketoses in the body that causes fatigue, lethargy, and bad breath.
