When we need energy, can’t the body just burn the stored fat? Isn’t that the whole point of stored fat? Why will we feel hungry, weak, lightheaded, etc. at all? I understand if the body doesn’t have enough fat (if you’re super skinny), it would make sense to feel hungry, but I don’t understand why would that be the case if there’s enough fat to go around.

If you switch to a ketogenic diet your body starts running on fat and this is less likely to happen.
If you eat a lot of carbs like most people do, when you run low on those your body fights you for awhile before it will switch to ketones as fuel instead of carbs. Body prefers carbs because it’s easier fuel and throws a fit at first when you take them away.
