Everybody needs fat in his or her diet
Consuming fat does not necessarily make you fat. If you cut out all the fat in your diet, your body will derive energy from carbohydrates or proteins instead. So, without eating fat, you could still be obese and moreover, you would be depriving your body of essential fatty acid which your body cannot produce on its own and the protein it needs t build body cells.
As long as the energy you consume is equal to the energy you expend, you will not become fat! 15 – 30 minutes of physical activity a day is recommended to keep fit and health and to prevent obesity heart disease and diabetes.
