Explanation:

Carbohydrates are the fuel of the body, they are macronutrients that give energy and calories to the body. They can be found in fruits, grains, vegetables, milk products, and others. There are several types of carbohydrates, they can be simple or complex, we have: simple refined (and simple natural (lactose and fructose, present in milk and fruits), complex refined (white flour for example) and complex natural (like grains and beans).

Having said that, these types of carbohydrates are broken down during digestion processes, converting them into simple sugars and glucose, which is absorbed in the bloodstream. The insulin is the responsible to help glucose to enter into cells, and it's provided by the pancreas, the amount of insulin depends on the amount of sugar produced, which at the same time depends on the amount of carbohydrates. However, there's another way to give energy, and it's using the stored fat.

So, a very low carbohydrate diet consist in restricting all these types of carbohydrates, and replace it with fats and proteins. The main purpose is to create a sugar level lowering, which won't require too much insulin, having as a result not enough energy from the food ingested. But to compensate this situation, the body will use stored fat to give the brain and body the energy needed, ending all these in fat loss.
