Zero fat means NO FAT, GOOD OR BAD!
I know we should have GOOD FAT. Good fat that we call Polyunsaturated Fat and are found as fish fat. Taking a lot of this helps us achieve our goal of lowering bad cholesterol and increasing good cholesterol, therefore lowering our risk of heart disease and other diseases that are related to it such as diabetes and stroke.
So what could be the reason for TOTALLY ELIMINATING FAT in our diet? One thing, Gall bladder stones (with or without infections). Rationale for this is to prevent stimulation and contraction of the gall bladder, it being where the bile are stored to which emulsifies fat. Thus, if you are preventing pain due to your gall stones, avoid intake of fat; animal fat (meat, fish) dairy products (milk, butter) or any food/product that is not fat-free.
Better yet, have those stones removed!

health is more important than your looks, but if you look after the health of the diet then fine...:-D
From what i know other than controlling yr consumption of the rich food & fats & also using medication, the best & cheapest way to get rid of your bad cholesterol or LDL is by exercising on a regular basis.
Talking of gallstones, may i add a bit here, there're 2 main types,the most common Cholesterol gallstones (cholesterol is one of the substances that liver cells secrete into bile, secretion of cholesterol into bile is an important way in which the liver eliminates excess cholesterol from the body) and the less common Pigment gallstones generated from waste product formed from hemoglobin, bilirubin & calcium etc. Actually it's quite impossible to be totally free of fats, we need some fats in the body, it's a source of energy too btw. Getting rid of the stones? by medication or just by way of a minor surgery, not so difficult or painful unless some of the stones manage to travel down the bile duct.
@zvonko ~ yes, we need to take care of our health...even our looks will be affected if we're not in the best of health.
@hans ~ you're right, I should have included there that this is a method used at a LIMITED TIME. just a temporary way of alleviating pain in the presence of gall stones.
