[QUOTE="fergus, post: 19890, member: 6150"] Jenny, you're partly right, but there are many hormonal processes at work when glucose and insulin get to work. Fat cells are continually active,with an ebb and flow of stored energy taking place pretty much constantly. When insulin levels are elevated, as they are following a high carbohydrate meal, the body shifts into fat storage mode and finds it impossible to metabolise stored fat until insulin levels are much lower. With a high carb diet, the risk is that insulin levels become permanently elevated so that fat is stored, not burned. I think I'm right in saying that all overweight or obese people have elevated insulin levels. The fat building is an ongoing process with insulin, even at low levels, but the important point is that fat burning is disabled when levels are raised. You're certainly right to say that reducing insulin levels is key to weight loss. All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
