I just had a blood test, they say my fat count is hight, why is that bad?

Thy made me go on a low fat diet.
Lipids (several different types of fat as listed below) are found in your blood
and are stored in tissues. They are an important part of cells, and they help
keep your body working normally. Lipid disorders, however, such as high
cholesterol, may lead to life-threatening illnesses, such as coronary artery
disease (CAD), heart attack, or stroke.

Cholesterol: Too much cholesterol in the blood can build up along the inside of
the artery walls, forming what is known as plaque. Large amounts of plaque
increase your chances of having a heart attack or stroke.

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL): It is sometimes called "bad cholesterol." A high
LDL cholesterol level may increase your chances of developing heart disease.

Very low-density lipoprotein: A high VLDL cholesterol level can cause the
buildup of cholesterol in your arteries and increases your risk of heart disease
and stroke.

Triglycerides: Having a high triglyceride level along with a high LDL
cholesterol may increase your chances of having heart disease more than having
only a high LDL cholesterol level.

Overall, there are recommended levels and probably your doctor is trying to get
you down to these normal levels. That's why it's good you had the tests done and
you have the chance to change your diet now and prevent some of those
complications. From personal experience I can tell you that it's not that
difficult to lower your levels if you are consistent at each meal and follow the
advice given to you at the doctor's. Also, eating high-fiber foods (oats for
example) provides a special boost in fighting high fats.

Good luck.
High fat content in your blood gives you high blood pressure, which makes your
heart work too hard. It can lead to a heart attack without a change (that has
already been made.)
you'll get diabetes! ahh! if you get it, u'll die. ur body cant hold up that
much fat. or, its something else that isn't that bad. to lose weight, exercise 4
5hours!!!
Because to much fat in your blood can lead to clogged arteries and that in turn
can lead to heart attacks and/or stroke
