How does a LCHF diet work?
All digestible carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars in the intestine.
When you restrict the amount of sugar and starches (carbohydrates) that you eat, the levels of sugar in your blood begins to stabilise and your need for insulin to remove the sugar from your blood decreases.
Insulin is produced by your pancreas and is a fat storing hormone. Once your insulin levels decrease your body begins to burn your stored fat supplies.
