When people eat carbs, the body releases insulin into the blood. Its role is to burn down the sugar molecules that circulate in the blood and to diminish the harmful effects that high levels of sugar have on the body.
By the activity of insulin, carbohydrates are converted into fat.
Insulin prevents the fat cells from releasing fat into the blood and burning it. So the body begins to deposit fat.
At an average of thirty grams of carbohydrate per day, the insulin levels in the blood system are kept down and the body burns all the fat consumed and released from the fat cells.
Another side effect of insulin is the stimulation of hunger signals to the brain. The result is craving for more and more carbs.
When the carbohydrate intake is restricted, the insulin level goes down and the level of glucagon increases.
Glucagon is a hormone that stimulates the burning of body fat and the removal of cholesterol from the arteries.
When people drastically cut down on carbs in their diet, (e.g. to up to 30 grams daily), the body quickly goes into a condition called “ketosis”– i.e. the burning of fat with the production of ketone bodies in the bloodstream.
The ketones released with ketogenic diets reduce the release of insulin and the stress hormones.
As a result, the blood sugar becomes more stable, hunger is calmed down, and anxiety is reduced.
Ketosis
ketosis merely means that our bodies are using fat for energy
When people eat less carbohydrate, their bodies burn fat for energy
In short your body uses the existing stores of fat.
