That is right, unless more energy is consumed then used, then it continues storing energy as fat until it floods the system and gets deposited in the liver(fatty liver disease) and in other organs. Which as we know, kills the monitor.

In order for an animal to take its energy from fat, it must use more energy then its consuming.
