why do people lower there carbs and up there fat intake. the calories are the same in the end. why is there greater fat loss with less carbs?

for me, i just feel carbs are the easiest calorie to cut and go without when trying to eat less

[Lifterforlife10]

fats keep people fuller, therefore are more desireable on a cut, fats and protein are essential for the body, carbs really aren't

the human body does not need a direct source of carbs to survive. It needs fats/proteins. Your body will burn fat for energy instead of carbs if you lower your carb intake significantly.
