Suppose you take starchy meal three times a day. So after taking each such meal, you continue to get glucose for say about four hours. This glucose is utilized by your body. Three meals will give you supply of glucose for about twelve hours. During this time you are physically active and consume, rather more energy. At the same time your liver will convert some glucose to glycogen. So you have about 300 grams of glycogen stored in your liver and muscles. Rest of the glucose is converted to fat.

By metabolizing food nutrients! There are pathways in the cell to utilize the sugar (monomeric form after starch digestion) to produce Energy (ATP)

The reason humans store fats can be attributed to the days when humans were hunteres and gathers and when our next meal would occur could not be garunteed. We store fats as a last source of energy that our body can tap into when we need it. In our body the process we use to create energy is glucose, then glycogen,and then fats and proteins. These are all molecules that can turn into energy.

Why does the body release insulin after a meal high in carbohydrates?

The body releases insulin after a high-carbohydrate meal to help regulate blood sugar levels. Insulin helps transport glucose from the bloodstream into the cells for energy production or storage. This process prevents blood sugar levels from rising too high, which can be harmful to the body.


How exactly does a no grain diet works?

It works by eliminating all grainy or starch filled foods.( Example: Potatoes, and Starchy Vegetables or Fruits. ) It is believed that foods high in refined carbohydrates or grains leads to a mass production of insulin which can cause a person to become hungry soon after they finish their meal. So in order to eliminate the hungry feeling after you finish a meal, you would take starchy and grainy food out of your diet entirely.
