When we lack carbohydrates, the body primarily turns to fat stores for energy through a process called ketosis, where fats are converted into ketones. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and irritability as the body adjusts to using an alternative energy source. Additionally, inadequate carbohydrate intake can impair physical performance and cognitive function due to reduced glucose availability, which is the brain's preferred energy source. Long-term carbohydrate deficiency can also disrupt metabolic balance and lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients found in carbohydrate-rich foods.

What does lack of starchy carbohydrates do to your body?

I assume you're asking "what happens if you don't eat any simple carbohydrates". Your body can't completely lack simple carbohydrates and still live.There are several things that happen. If you've eaten any complex carbohydrates (well... any your body has the enzymes to deal with; cellulose is technically a complex carbohydrate, but you don't have the enzymes to digest it), then they're treated the same way they normally are and broken down into simple carbohydrates, at which point as far as your body is concerned there's no difference from whether you had eaten simple carbohydrates.If there are no complex carbohydrates either, then your body starts breaking down its energy reserves.... glycogen and fat... into simpler molecules that it can use as an energy source instead of glucose (glucose itself is not used directly either).
