this idea of opposed carbs kind of interests me. I know a guy who's diabetic (skinny as a rail, but recently diagnosed as diabetic, nonetheless), who eats things like shepards pie (in case you're never heard of it, it's mashed potatotes piled on top of meat and vegetables and some kind of sauce ), and thinks the potoatoes are ok for him since he is eating them with the meat. It seems like I've heard this somewhere before, but I don't remember where. Anyway, I just wonder how valid that idea is?
