I was just curious cuz so many people go lowfat and stop eating fried foods...what happens when I don't consume enough fat? Does my cut/metabolism slow down? Should I just eat some fried foods for fat if I don't have healthy fats around?

Did you read the links I posted from the bb.com main site in the last thread you posted on fats?
Now, here is a link to ALL the articles on dietary fats. Read and learn instead of wanting everything spoon fed to you:

Yeah, go have some fried onion rings, trans fats are just as good for you.[/sarcasm]

Ok, for the record, fat is good for you.
Going very low fat means you risk missing out on all the fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K, and the minerals which need fat for effective absorption, like calcium. On a very low fat diet, it's almost impossible to get all your daily vitamin and mineral requirements through diet alone, so you must supplement.
However, fried food is not the way to go. Oily fish, olive oil, nuts, steak, egg yolks, avocados, flaxseed, are the way to get your essential fats.65% fat, 30% protein, 5% carbs = keto.
