don't you mean LOW fat? is it some sort of illogical process?
The body stores carbohydrates in muscle. It uses the carbs first for quick energy. When a diet consists of an extremely low amount of carbs (under 30 grams a day), it begins using stored fat as it's primary energy source. No carb load in muscle tissue means a reduction in strength and energy. The body burns carbs more efficiently. Extended length high fat diets (like the Adkins diet) can lead to all sorts of health issues.
