Are you sure you have got that right ? When blood sugar goes up, the insulin level rises. And insulin switches lipolysis off. It stops the burning of fat. The lower blood sugar is, the less circulating insulin is required. And the more likely you are to burn fat. This is why losing weight is easier when you eat low-carb.
