[fast5] Fast-5ing and LCHF

I have been researching the low carb-high fat way of eating and am beginning to believe it. I'm going to start experimenting with it, but I have a question. I read that the intenstinal wall can only take in "12-15 grams per hour" of fat. I tend to not 'fast-5' but rather 'fast-1'. I have had significant weight loss but I am within maybe 10 pounds of my ideal weight. I want to lose body fat, and I have been working on strength training all along. The calculations for the percentages of carb/protein/fat say I should eat around 157g of fat (impossible for me to imagine right now). If I did this in my regular eating window of just an hour, would I really be only absorbing the 130 or so calories of fat and none of the other 1278? I don't want to be starving my body of calories, so while undertaking this endevour should I initially start myself back at the five hour eating window, rather than just eating in my one hour? Thanks for any input. :)
