Senimoni, gimmpy did answer your question

However while you are on a low carb diet, your insulin levels are low enough that you will not store the extra fat you take in at fat. It will simply pass out the body as waste. One of the reasons many have lose bm's while LCing.

You need insulin to store fat. IF you keep carbs restricted insulin is kept in check. You cannot store fat. You may not lose fat if you eat too much (and too much is a lot for most of us), but you won't be storing it.
Steve, a stall can still leave you in ketosis. It's a sign that something you are doing, or not doing, is inhibiting fat loss - not fat burning. A plateau, on the other hand, is your body adjusting to it's new size and taking a 'time out'. Both happen to us, and both usually have to be waited out. The body is in control. This is a good time to focuss on other aspects of your new WOL - your health, your fitness level, how great you feel. The added time it takes to lose the fat permits us to learn new ways of eating and behaving around food - this is how we make permanent changes and maintain our new size.
Cheers,
