Carbs are your bodys no 1 choice in fuel, and the stuff it'll use up first to keep you alive and active. When the carbs run out it'll start to burn fat instead, which is good if you want to lose weight but bad if you want to do strenuous things. Fat is slower to metabolize, so you can't work as hard on it. Fat is also very a poor energy source for your brain, which much prefers sugars as in carbs. Your concentration will dip, together with your general mental performance. Once the fat is gone the body will start breaking down the muscles to fuel itself, and by then you're in a pretty bad way.
However, certain carbs have many beneficial phytochemicals and fiber so eating some daily carbs is fine as long as they are not refined (processed) carbohydrates.

For the sake of your health, avoid refined/processed carbohydrates (apart from the occasional treat).

The most commonly recorded have been linked with an apparent increase in breast size and libido. Essentially cutting carbs out of your diet could provide people with the sexual boost they (may or may not) require.
