A member asked:

Will someone lose a lot of weight if they eat zero fats for a week and run 40 minutes per day?

Specializes in Psychiatry

Maybe: You still have to burn more calories then you take in to lose weight. So if a person gorged on carbohydrates and proteins they might gain weight or stay the same weight despite the level of exercise and the lack of fat intake.
