Just wondering, is this like an advanced troll thread? Or a legit question?
The simplest way to look at how you burn fat is this: Energy in versus energy out. If you are expending more energy than you are taking in, then you will lose fat. The simplest way to look at that equation is this: Calories in, versus your resting metabolic rate + energy expended from work.
Fats do not make you fat, nor do carbs, or protein. Excess calories are what you're looking at. This comes down to what your body needs, when it needs it, and how you are expending that energy.
If you don't need the carbs you are eating, then your body will convert that into stored energy (fat). Reduce your carb intake based on what your body needs to fuel itself, and also pay attention to your carb-protein-fat ratio.
Not necessarily true. People on keto diets will burn more fat than people on a regular diet even if they eat the same amount of calories a day from many articles I've seen
