The problem, however, is that when blood sugar spikes and insulin is secreted, blood
sugar is normalized in a matter of minutes, while insulin remains “on guard” in the
bloodstream for the next couple of hours—preventing fat to be burned during that
time.
Understand that various cells in the body have a need for fat. However, when those
cells that need fat to function properly are not getting the fat they need (because of
insulin present in the bloodstream), your blood sugar drops. Low blood sugar level
is what tells your brain that you’re hungry…and because you are hungry, you begin
to eat again before those fatty acids can ever be burned up. When you follow up
with another carbohydrate-rich meal, those fatty acids will need to be stored away
because your body is going to have to secrete insulin to lower blood sugar again…
and to use that blood sugar—instead of fat—for its energy for the next few hours.
And this starts the vicious cycle all over again—constantly prohibiting your body
from burning fat.
