What happens if you have too little fats? Most people think eating less fats will lead to weight loss. This is true, but too little fat in the diet can lead to weight loss and nutritional deficiencies.
If you are carrying extra fat, it is because you have programmed your body to store it. Fat is made up of unused calories, or energy.
