The more fat you eat, the more body fat you burn. Period.

I'm assuming you mean actual, controlled double-blind studies on humans, and not indexes of studies of studies of studies of rats. If so, please post the links to those studies here because there's not a single iota of truth in your assertion. I don't know why these old myths keep circulating.
In fact, the opposite is true: the more fat you ingest (absent high carbs and absent high protein) the MORE stored body fat you'll burn. The less fat you ingest, the LESS stored body fat you'll burn. That's because for our bodies, survival is everything - and as long as you are not ingesting enough fat, it will keep the fat cell spigots closed. In addition, the more fat you ingest as your main fuel, the more calories your body must use to convert that fat to fuel - and the more fuel will be needed for the kind of tissue and muscle repair that used to come from protein.
That's why Dr. K's diet accelerates stored body fat loss, not slows it down. That's why everyone who has started this plan has noticed, if not scale weight loss immediately - then body fat loss. Because this is how the biology actually works in real life, if not always on the ersatz, Academic page.
