      Your skin can start to turn orange after just a few days of only eating carrots (or oranges!). If you only ate carrots for a year you would become very ill and would probably die – Although carrots are good for you, you need other vitamins and minerals that carrots dont have so you body would start to pack up

      Yes, your skin would probably turn orange initially, but you would be eating no protein and very little carbohydrates so your muscles would all waste away and you’d die. Please don’t do it! 😀

      you’d turn orange for a start, and not have many friends from the amount of wind you produce. Also you wouldn’t have much in the way of a body left as you cannot live on carrots alone.
