1- You think about a meal containing carbs

4- You get hungry
5- You start eating
6- You secrete more insulin
7- Digested carbohydrates enter your bloodstream as glucose
8- Your blood sugar rises
9- You secrete more insulin
10- Fat from your meals stays in your fat cells as triglycerides

Insulin is the primary regulator of fat metabolism. It is also the regulator of the "bouncer" of the fat cell if you will. If insulin is high, the bouncer allows more fats into the fat cells to be stored. If insulin is low, the bouncer denies the fat cells and it is used as fuel and energy instead (IDEAL)!
Note: I do not recommend not eating any carbs, BUT I do recommend focusing on good carbs and cutting out bad carbs.
