I think it's carbs to the extent that they spike blood sugar and insulin levels. My understanding is carbs minus fiber equal true carb count..so high fiber carbs not as much of a problem. Trouble is, most "high fiber" breads are still high in carbs..unless they have a lot of soy in them. Could be another good reason to opt for sweeteners like Stevia.

I believe it is the refined "white" carbs like bread, rice, potatoes, pasta - sweets etc

Whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables are slow "good" carbs. A low glycemic diet is best (but hard to follow to a T)

Also, some carbs are needed for energy - especially if you exercise vigorously or do alot of physical work but one can use whole grains - whole wheat pasta, brown rice, sweet potatoes, legumes/beans. But even so, watch those portions of these. Whereas the veggie/fruit carbs you can do whatever you want. However, they are filling in their own right so its hard to way overdo. For example, in one sitting, how many apples can one consume?

That's for the article Rich. Its a reminder for me (I slip off the wagon for fast carbs cuz I'm a runner but there are better choices out there to satisfy the need for carbs).
