Insulin is referred to as the “storage hormone” because its job is to activate transportation of nutrients (i.e. carbs and fat) into cells and to turn off the burning of nutrients. When you eat carbs, blood glucose levels rise, which the body does not like. In order to bring blood glucose levels back into normal range, the pancreas secretes insulin, which signals cells to increase the uptake of glucose from the blood into them. During this time, fat burning is blunted. Therefore we want to control insulin levels to keep fat burning elevated. Keys to doing this are:
·, more controlled insulin release thus less fat storage and more fat loss.
· Eat good fat with every meal, especially carbohydrate meals.
· Do not combine carbohydrates and protein alone, this elicits the highest insulin response. For example, a cup of oatmeal has a moderate insulin response but when you combine oatmeal with whey protein, you get a much higher response. If you do combine these, be sure to add a fat source-Scivation lifestyle cut diet. Please read it people.

you're contracting yourself, insulin is not secreted because the body is scared of high blood glucose and need to bring it down but because high blood glucose means that there's glucose available to bring to the cells and the brain. So the whole thing, blood sugar increasing and insulin transporting it to the cells is actually a normal essential process not a pathologic one
During this time, fat burning is blunted. Therefore we want to control insulin levels to keep fat burning elevated
That's also why study after study they never found an evidence that insulin made any difference in gaining fat, not even when it was injected directly to patients.
Think about it, would your body store something you need? No, you wuoldn't survive. Or maybe it would be stored and then released but then it's burned anyway
You can only store what's in excess and not burn only what you don't need to burn
