What happens if there is not enough sugar in the body?

sugar is needed for energy. If you do not eat, your body will scavenge sugar out of storage forms in the liver and muscles. if that runs out, it will start to burn fat to get energy. protein can also be converted to energy. basically if you run out of sugar, your body will begin using what it can to keep the energy flowing by scavenging parts of the body.

Does the body eat fat when starved?

Yes it does. The body starts digesting its own fat. Once that runs out, then the body may start breaking down muscle tissue and other tissues. After so much starvation, there comes a point where it is irreversible since the protein synthesis centers are made out of protein. So once enough of these "protein factories" are destroyed, the cells in the body continue to starve, destroying the means to make energy from protein.
