The Basics of Insulin:
When it comes to how our body uses and stores the food we eat, the first thing to know is what insulin is and how it works in our body.
What is it?

Insulin is a hormone, which is a chemical messenger that attaches itself to cells, and tells them how to act. It's produced by our pancreas and injected into our bloodstream. Insulin has two primary roles:
Tells our cells to accept glucose and burn it for fuel.
Tells our liver to convert the excess glucose into glycogen or fat for fuel storage.

What it does in our body:
When we eat any food, with the exception of pure fat, our blood sugar (glucose) goes up. Too much or too little blood sugar (glucose) is deadly to our bodies. To deal with blood sugar, our pancreas secretes insulin into our bloodstream, to chemically direct the blood sugar into cells (muscle cells, liver cells, brain cells, etc...) to be used as fuel. When we have excess blood sugar, which we always do, we send the rest to the liver to be turned...
