Simple VS Complex carbs??

OK, so who eats raw potatoes?

Well, when I was a kid, I never thought I'd eat tuna out of a can, either. Maybe if you grate the potato and eat it on a salad, or something. I've never tried it, though, and don't plan on doing it anytime soon, either.

LOL!! Dude, I still can't eat tuna out of a can. I gotta doctor it up or it's just not happening. But raw potatoes? That's just wrong.

some simple carbs do not spike insulin
and some complex do

so i dont think that it really matters if you go by
complex and simple, more you should go by the glycemix index of
each food , perhaps...am i wrong?

simple carbs are sugars like glucose and fructose. Glucose is tabel sugar (basically) and fructose is is the sugar that's in fruit. /B]

Actually, sucrose is table sugar. Glucose is not.

man raw potatoes? i did that for a bet once, never again man ugh. Though tuna out of a can isnt bad man, especially if you want a prot, and fat meal and you get the tuna in olive oil kind. Press out the extra oil though

The gi rating of a food isnt the end all for deciding on eating or not eating it. you should not just go by this rating, sure it has its uses and i too use it frequently but dont fare blind on this aid.

But my original advice was kind specific for a cutting fase. When i cut i just try to avoid ALL the simple carbs. When i am allowed some carbs i had rather have some complex ones which will benefit me for longer then some simples.
