that's starvation!. the body derives energy from macronutrients which are proteins, carbohydrates and fats!. micronutrients which are vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants have no caloric value so they provide no energy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!.Not only does your body need water and nutrients, it also needs to keep its cholesterol at a certain level, it needs carbs for energy, and sugars and proteins are extremely important as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No!. Your body needs protein and calories to convert to fuel!. If it doesn't get any it processes your own fat (eww) and that is when you get starvation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
