I've read that most of the body, but not the brain, can burn fatty
acids instead, and therefore use up most of the parts of the fat.

Fatty acids cannot enter the brain, but ketones can. Most, but
not all, of the brain can use ketones for energy instead, and
therefore a low level of ketosis allows the brain to help burn up
fats. A lack of insulin tends to raise the ketosis to toxic
levels, though.

I tried the link you gave. It didn't work.
