Default Why high fat?

I see a lot of people here recommend that if you are stalled you should be eating more fat. I recognize that this will make the ketostix turn purple simply because you are digesting fat ( but not necessarily fat stores) but I am confused at how eating more fat will increase your fat burning.
Low carbs will lower insulin, keeping the protein up will prevent muscle loss, but I still don't get how eating more fat will help at all.
I have tried to find the answer in the book, and although Atkins talks about the positive effects of the fat fast, I cannot where he explains how it actually works.
Can anyone explain it to me or tell me where it is in the book?
