Hey there, Mikail Forgive me, I've been packing everything I own into brown boxes and buying things I don't need to replace the stuff I'm throwing to the curb. Moving is such a joy

Check out Karen's links - the G.I. will play a role in how carbs effect insulin release, as will what you pair them with - carbs alone or carbs in excess after a meal with carbs in excess (a la CAD) will also be a big determining factor. Eating the carbs was not what got many of us into our respective messes, eating them in excess and then following that up with another excessive dose of them when blood sugar plummetted is to blame. It's the cycle of high carb, high blood sugar, high insulin, low blood sugar, high carb that causes the damage.

If you're really interested in learning about the biochemistry that happens when you consume these foods I would suggest boning up on the works of Lyle McDonald:
