This is an example of negative feedback. 

After a big meal, glucose levels in the bloodstream increases. The body recognises this change and goes through homeostasis, or the regulation of bodily state or internal environment.

The pancreas secretes insulin, which then binds to insulin receptors. This will result in the uptake of excess glucose from the bloodstream into cells and converted into glycogen to be stored in cells as energy storage molecules. 

Since there is the counter effect of body (i.e. when blood-glucose concentration increases, the body sends a signal to decrease the blood-glucose concentration, this is called a negative feedback (instead of a positive feedback, which occurs if for e.g. the body signals cells to increase blood-glucose concentration even after blood-glucose concentration increased after a heavy meal).

Hope this helps! :)
