End of the day "sugar -> fat -> sugar" is close enough to the truth to be far more useful than any tl;dr of the full technical details.
Burn the sugar, don't replace it, let the body reclaim it from stored fats. It really is that simple in practice even if the actual biological / chemical processses are far more complex.
No, human body can't convert fat into sugar...On a very high-fat low carb or ketogenic diet fat gets converted into ketones or ketone bodies which are then used for energy instead of sugar.
