Remember the article was written in response to a question from a reader, so not everyone knows that. Myth spreads faster than science.

What happens to the fat when someone eats high fat and high carb? (Would most of it be stored as TGs along with the excess carbs?)

The fat is stored until the carbs are burned, stored or converted to fat. Then, if you had a healthy metabolism, insulin levels would come down and the fat you ate would be released to be burned, and you wouldn't gain or lose weight.
