Edit: the hypothetical diet wouldn’t be pure skittles, it’s just replacing rice/pasta/bread/etc. with skittles and still getting the proper protein and fiber

    No.

    you need proteins. neither skittles nor the vast majority of multivitamins contain proteins. And in any case, the vast majority of “junkfood diets” suck for your health. Usually they’re a gimmick to teach you about caloric intake for weightloss (and maybe some chemistry.)

      OP didn’t ask about only eating skittles and multivitamins, they asked about replacing “traditional carb sources” with skittles and multivitamins. Meat, eggs or hard cheese are not “traditional carb sources” by any definition.
