Doesn't your body get its energy primarily from carbs?

I am a type 1 Diabetic and the nutritionist says that I may NOT be loosing weight because I am not eating enough carbs. I am a carb addict and have limited my intake quite a bit, but now she has me eating three times the amount. I admit that I have more energy, but as a bypass person, we are supposed to focus on protein, not carbs. If we do protein, protein, protein, our bodies have to be getting its energy from some other source of food, or do we get energy from the fat that we are trying to lose? I know that I have plenty because I weigh 198lbs at 5'2.
