Actually, in order to move fat from storage to fuel as energy, you need carbohydrates (minimum 130 grams). To completely break down stored fat, your body needs carbohydrates. Without carbohydrates, your body incompletely breaks down fat and produces ketones. Large amounts of ketones are produced by stored fat when burned without carbohydrates. Your body will do anything it can to preserve its fat and muscle stores.

While no one should eat an unlimited amount of fat, a certain amount of fat is required for the absorption of certain nutrients.
