• When you eat a carb, blood sugar goes up
• Then the pancreas produces insulin (hormone that takes blood sugar out of the blood stream & into the cell for energy - What it doesn't need is stored in the muscle as glycogen first, & the rest is stored as fat
• Too many carbs effects their fat metabolism - turns into tryglicerides (if over 100, eating too many carbs)
• Low carbs switches their metabolism (can either burn sugar or burn fat for fuel… When not enough carbs, switch to fat) *Under 50g carbs/day
