In plain English

Burning fat for fuel helps keep your energy steady and your blood sugar from spiking and crashing, unlike when your body runs on carbs.

See the scientific wording

Utilization of fat as the primary metabolic fuel results in stable blood glucose levels and sustained, consistent energy output without the fluctuations associated with carbohydrate-dependent metabolism.

  1. Study: Subjective Experiences and Blood Parameter Changes in Individuals From Germany Following a Self-Conceived “Carnivore Diet”: An Explorative Study

    The study looked at people eating mostly meat, which makes the body burn fat for fuel. Some blood sugar markers improved, and people felt healthier, which fits the idea that fat fuel helps keep energy and sugar levels steady.
