 then starts to burn fat for energy, leading to ketosis.
3. What happens if you don’t eat enough proteins?
- Protein deficiency is mostly caused by essential amino acid deficiency. Deficiency

any of them prohibits the synthesis of a variety of proteins. Without protein, the
human body cannot function normally.

- The human body can make most fats with the exception of omega-3 and omega-6. If
you don’t get enough of these fats in your diet, the most likely symptoms are those

night blindness, depression, confusion and disorientation (Answers may vary)

iron, and impaired sight because of not enough intake of vitamin A. Nutrition disorders can be
particularly serious in children, since they interfere with growth and development, and may
