I used to have a diet like that. In fact, I prefer to have a diet like that - I don't really like the taste of most bread/pasta/etc. and the feeling carbs leave in my mouth.. but I've had to increase the carbs in my diet as my activity load has drastically increased. If I don't essentially carb-load a bit every day, my muscles have no fuel for my next long workout and it doesn't go well.
