Carbohydrates: to eat or not to eat? That is not the question. Which ones to eat...That is the question!

There are different sources of carbohydrates and you have to distinguish between the following: (1) How many carbs and fibre they contain (2) How quickly they get into the bloodstream in the form of glucose. It is important to note that everybody is unique and what spikes insulin in one person's body, doesn't spike in the others. Knowing your body and taking informed (thus data-based) dietary decisions is key.
