Carbohydrates, whether they are in the form of pastas or chocolate cake, turn into glucose once they enter the bloodstream. Sugar is sugar -- the body doesn't discriminate. So if you consume excess amounts of carbohydrates, your blood sugar levels increase, triggering your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin controls where blood sugar is stored. Some is used for energy, and some is stored in the muscles as glycogen (the stored form of sugar). Since your body can store only 2,000 calories as glycogen, the excess is stored as fat. Low Carbohydrate diets help you access your fat stores and burn body fat for energy.
