And the hormone that makes all this possible is insulin - or rather a lack of insulin. As stated above, restricted carbs result in lowered glucose levels, lowered glucose leves will result in less insulin being produced. Insulin is the fat storing hormone, in its absence (and the presence of its opposite, glucagon) fat is not store but rather burned.
