I don't think so, unless you have an eating disorder.

Essential Fat
Essential fat is necessary for the normal physiological functioning of the body. It's stored in the bone marrow of organs like the heart, lungs, liver, spleen kidneys, and intestines, and in the tissues of the spinal column and brain. The body needs a small amount of this fat for insulation, cushioning between the body parts and vital organs, and maintaining the functioning of the body systems. A healthy amount of essential fat is in the range of between 3 and 7 percent of the total body weight of men and between 8 and 15 percent of the total body weight of women."Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle."
