Yup. Your body won't burn fat if insulin levels are raised. It doesn't think it needs to, because insulin signals the presence of a faster energy source in carbs.

and speaking of burning fat...
I think I read somewhere on here that it's usually best to do cardio/aerobic stuff in the morning (or whenever you wake up)? Is this also because you insulin levels will be lower in the morning?

Your body goes into ketosis at night because you aren't eating. So, yes. You can do the same thing exercising at night, provided you haven't eaten for about 6 hours before you work out. Something I'm doing right now is working out in a fasted state (always in the morning for convenience) and then not eating for 2 hours after I finish my workout. Really helps burn.
