Keeping carbs at a reasonable level balances insulin. When the insulin is balanced glucagon is produced by the pancreas. This , glucagon, is insulin's partner hormone. It sweeps fats out of the system and it enhances lipolysis ( ketosis ), among other things. We burn it and it is also past through the system as waste material ( ketones ) Our bodies' processes fats more efficiently than it processes carbohydrates. When carbohydrates are too high, insulin is kept busy stuffin the glucose into our cells and the glucagon is not being manufactured. This results in the storage of fat since carbohydrates must be burned off first.
Therefore it doesn't matter what kind of fat it is. If your insulin is stable, you will begin to have a body that is a fat-processing machine.
