If I were to take flaxseed oil as my only fat substitute in my diet, could I expect any problems...does the body need saturated fat to maintain itself? Diet won't last any longer than a couple months anyway, just curious.
You don't "need" saturated fat. You "need" your essential fatty acids, which can be provided sufficiently through mono's and poly's. however, it would be VERY difficult to rid yourself of ALL saturated fat. Good luck.
