So, if I understand correctly, what you're saying is that when your body feels as though it's constantly stressed out, whether from exercise or some other stressor, what can happen is that it switches
on pathways to develop insulin resistance so that, rather than putting food stuff into, say, muscle storage or liver storage, you might actually create new fat cells or put
glucose, you know, that has been converted into triglycerides, et cetera, into fat cells so that your body has storage to rely upon in times of
need even though you're not necessarily in a time of
need.
But making the body run
on ketones means that it will become more sensitive to any

So to bring it all together: concentrated insulin causes excess
glucose absorption
on the local cellular level, leading to increased glycolysis, resulting in excess glycolysis products above the ATP
needs of the cell, which leads to a shunting of lipogenesis.
Time depends
on a few factors, like genetics, BMR, (basal metabolic rate), gender, and your

Findings published
on the National Institutes Of Health website, Metabolic Effects of the Very - Low - Carbohydrate Diets: Misunderstood «Villains» of Human Metabolism, (Manninen et al) ascertains that reducing carb intake triggers a harmless physiological state known as ketosis, where ketones flow from the liver and spare the
need for
glucose metabolism providing an alternative source of fuel for the body.
My diet has been going well so far, I will allow myself to have a little extra carbs

Based
on the above reasoning, for carbohydrates, our estimated plateau range is from 10 % of energy
on the low end (which we recommend for therapeutic ketogenic diets) to 30 %
on the high end (a «moderate carb» diet in which all the body's
glucose needs are met from diet).
When insulin signals to your cells that fuel is coming and your cells respond by receiving the
glucose from your bloodstream, you get the energy you
need and you don't pack
on body fat.
Current carbohydrate recommendations are based
on 1) preventing ketosis, and 2) providing
glucose beyond minimal
needs.
