You don't have to force your body into ketosis to use fats for energy.
Most people use fats for part of their daily energy needs.
Imagine you eat 200 grams of carbs a day. That is 800 calories. Where does the rest of your ~2,000 calories come from?
It comes from fat. Dietary fat. It could come from body fat too, in which case we'd get leaner, but it is not easy to make the body give up its fat stores.
The body goes into ketosis when you consume so little carbs that the minimal glucose needs cannot be met from the diet or liver glycogen stores so the liver produces ketones from fat. Ketones have some fantastic health benefits in some situations, but for most people they are nothing magic. Historically they would allow us to live through winter when no plant foods are available so we can eat only animals and use their fat for energy.
IMO "The Game Changers" is questionable, I would not make important decisions based on their pitch.
