Insulin brings sugar into fat cells and keeps between meals, as long as we don’t snack, our insulin levels will drop and our fat cells can then release their stored sugar, to use for energy. We lose weight if we let our insulin levels drop. The whole idea of IF is to allow insulin levels drop low enough and long enough to burn our fat,” explains Harvard Medical School on intermittent fasting in a report.
