Carbohydrates and fats, though they both contain calories and though fat is more calorie dense than carbohydrate, have vastly different effects on the body hormonally. Insulin is the fat-storage hormone, and it’s carbohydrate that raises insulin, not fat.

There is more to weight loss than simply counting calories. In order to lose weight quickly and easily, you must focus on getting your insulin level down. Otherwise, insulin will keep fat locked in your fat cells, making weight loss exceedingly difficult.
The first step toward getting slim, fit, and healthy is to eliminate refined sugar and other refined carbohydrates from the diet. This will dramatically lower blood sugar, insulin levels, and body fat. Eating junk carbohydrates will undermine your health.
