a: Adipose tissue ~
b: rechargable battery
What: "Adipose tissue is like a rechargable battery thats contantly being charged and used. When insulin is high it increases the inflow of fatty acids into the adipose tissue and prevents them from leaving the adipose tissue. So if you're low carb, fatty acids (from all the fat youre eating) go in and out of your adipose tissue all the time, but never build up because insulin is not around to prevent the fatty acids from leaving the adipose cells. So you never get fat. It's actually pretty much impossible."
