Insulin is a storage hormone, so yah It does help in growth of muscles, but it also slows or even stops growth hormone from releasing.
hightest amount of growth hormone is secreted during intense exercise and also during REM sleep.

Our hormones exist in a state of flux in the body, they are often secreted in a pulsatile manner.

It is a general rule of thumb that when insulin is high, GH is low and vice versa, but this situation exists naturally in the body, it can be manipulated with diet to maximise both.

The body clears glucose from the bloodstream quite rapidly, and maintains it at a level of around 3-6 mmol/L, and GH would be released when these glucose levels are present.

GH also has a different secretion pattern in women than in men.

If you are really overweight, or you have eaten a diet of really simple carbs like glucose and modified fat, then a low carb healthy fat diet is probably a very good idea for awhile.

One other misconception, ANYTHING can make you fat if you eat in excess of what your body needs, carbs, fats or protein, so the statement dietary fat does not make you fat is not 100 % true.

Eat healthy, eat rubbish but keep the calories under control, you will not get fat. The composition of your body may not be what you would like it to be with a rubbish diet though.

People do need to get away from the brainwashing that low fat foods are good as diet foods, as they are not, a low fat yogurt can contain 13 g of pure sugar.

If your body fat percentage is HIGH, then the majority of the nutrients you eat will be preferentially stored as fat by insulin.

If you bodyfat percentage is LOW, then the majority of nutrients you eat will be stored in muscle under the influence of insulin.

Providing this is not post workout where your body is actually insulin sensitive.
