All the time. My body crashes hard from the simple carbs, which results in sleeping for hours and waking up craving protein and water. Thank god for r-ala.

it important to remember that all carbs end up broken down into the same thing.. sugar.

I could go for some simple carbs right about now.......

that terminology should be ditched.

going by GI is the way to go, else people are going to be confused as hell...eg in the case of 'simple' sugar fructose

The simple ones are easier to spell right?

close. the simple ones mainly do manual labor and stay close to home.

I don't believe in carbs. I'm against ingesting nutrients. I get all my nutrients from the sun...or I hope to.

I just pray and pray that God gives me call walls instead of just cell membranes and lets me use photosynthesis. I'm so sick of the Kreb cycle nonsense. I need a change in my life....
