A zero-carb diet for a couple of weeks did not produce any ketosis as measured by a ketosis stick. Also lipolysis != dead fat cells.
The most likely explanation is that you were eating a large amount of excess protein, most of which turns into glucose before it turns into ATP, and this was supplying (or nearly supplying) your nerve cells' energy needs and inhibiting ketosis.
Lack of ketosis supplies at least part of an explanation of what's going on with your metabolism. A fast google doesn't supply any information about why ketosis might not happen, but it seems like a topic worth researching.
Of course.
If you have too many amino acids in your blood your body doesn't need to undergo ketosis. The generally recommended ratio is 65% fat or higher, %30 protein or less, and %5 carbohydrates or less.
Sorry, I just realized we had a point of confusion due to a lack of clarity in my expression. I hope my edits are clearer.
