Some people here are saying that you can burn fat without being in deep ketosis. How does this work? I have heard that the heart only uses triglycerides for energy but what about the other organs, the brain, muscle etc.? Are there any resources for the biochemical mechanisms? And doe these mechanisms also work in the nearly complete absence of carbs?

No organ needs carbs. The brain needs some glucose but our body is capable of produce it by converting protein - a process called gluconeogenesis.
