Carbohydrates eventually break down into sugar once they enter your body. Sugar taken into the body always produces an insulin response from your pancreas in an effort to balance blood sugar. A person’s body uses insulin along with the excess sugar to store fat. The more carbohydrates a person eats or drinks, the more the body has to produce insulin to balance blood sugar, and hence, the opportunity for the body to store additional fat. Any carbohydrates taken into the body that are not used as energy, will likely be stored as fat with the help of insulin. By eating or drinking foods with fewer carbohydrates, one reduces the insulin response from the pancreas and the body simply will not be able to store as much or any fat, depending on how much less carbohydrates are taken in. In short carbohydrates can be the “bad guys” because they probably contribute more to a person’s weight gain than fat actually does.
Protein is insulinogenic.
