What is “long?” There are people living years on no carbs at all.

Who is living years without any carbs?

So far as I can tell, Inuit get about 15–20% of their calories from carbohydrates, because of all the glycogen from the raw meat they consume.

But I am only looking at summaries outside a bunch of paywalls, so I can't confirm the quotes on the wikipedia page.
