So you’re saying gluconeogenesis isn’t really a thing?

Read my post please. I actually said that you can metabolize glocose from protiens and alcohol. These are not efficient pathways though, and your body will not use them to produce even survivable levels of glucose. This is why you switch to ketogenesis when you are either in starvation mode, or when you your blood sugar has been low for days and your liver glycogen stores are depleted.
I did read your post. Your second sentence stated: “ Carbs are not essential, but also, your body doesn’t produce them.”
