I'm sorry if I misunderstand, but are you talking about destroying the
condition of 'being fat' or the chemicals known as 'fat'?

As far as I know, eating fat produces ketone bodies, whereas eating
sugar and carbs spike insulin which triggers fat synthesis. Destroying
'fat' chemicals in the gut doesn't sound as effective as destroying
sugars and carbs.
