Glucose is the body's preferred source of energy. Fat is the backup energy source. Why purposefully deprived the body from its primary source of energy?

Your body produces its own glucose through gluconeogenesis; adding more by eating carbohydrates DISRUPTS this natural process.

The "natural process" is for the body to produce glucose from the carbohydrates in the food consumed.
The glucose that is not used immediately is stored into the liver and muscles as glycogen.
When the body needs the stored glycogen, it is converted back into glucose.
Glugoneogenesis happens when the body is depleted from glucose. The liver and kidney produce glucose to supply the organs that can't operate with out it (brain, eye, kidney,...). The liver also produces ketones as a backup energy source for the muscles and other organs.
Glugoneogenesis happens when glucose in the body is too low. If glucose availability from diet and storage is sufficient, glugoneogenesis doesn't happened. It not cumulative.
