You will start burning more fat if readily available carbs(blood sugar)are not available but you risk shutting off fat burning and bonking if backup/storage carbs get totally depleted.A lot of the value IMO of keto diets is getting people off of overeating and constantly craving carbs cold turkey and learning dicipline in their diet.I'm a little concerned you may not quite be there yet and may risk going back to where you were if you start adding too many carbs back in.IMO it is better too err on the side of too few carbs rather than too many(assuming you do not have the time to burn them off).As uciflylow alluded to those with alot of weight to lose do better with lower carb levels and larger calorie deficits as it is when your fat levels get lower that the body starts trying harder to hold on to it for survival purposes.I suggest you start out continuing to err on the lower(carb) side and then if needed gradually start adding in some low glycemic sources(such as oatmeal) in a diciplined controlled fashion.Good Luck
