If you do not eat enough fats(in general) what diseases or symptoms might you get?

Answer 1

Dietary fat, the kind of fat you get from food, is important for your health and the normal growth and development of your body. Dietary fat has many different functions in your body, which include:

Providing long lasting energy
Helping you feel full after eating
Helping make hormones
Forming part of your brain and nervous system
Forming cell membranes for every cell in your body
Carrying vitamins throughout your body
Helping regulate your body temperature and keep you warm
Providing two essential fatty acids, called linoleic acid and linolenic acid, that your body cannot make by itself
Although fats have received a bad reputation for causing weight gain, some fat is essential for survival. According to the Dietary Reference Intakes published by the USDA 20% - 35% of calories should come from fat.
Fat is found in meat, poultry, nuts, milk products, butters and margarines, oils, lard, fish, grain products and salad dressings. There are three main types of fat, saturated fat, unsaturated fat, and trans fat. Saturated fat (found in foods like meat, butter, lard, and cream) and trans fat (found in baked goods, snack foods, fried foods, and margarines) have been shown to increase your risk for heart disease. Replacing saturated and trans fat in your diet with unsaturated fat (found in foods like olive oil, avocados, nuts, and canola oil) has been shown decrease the risk of developing heart disease.
