Best Answer

The immediate reason is that fat contains a lot of energy, calories, and if you're not using up that energy the fat will settle on your body instead and you'll gain weight. The long-term reason is that a high fat diet can easily lead to high cholesterol levels, and narrowing of the arteries in the heart, neither of which is healthy.
