Empty calories, things like pasta, potatoes, potato chips, turns to sugar, bad carbs.
Good carbs have fiber, whole wheats, things that dont turn to surgar instantly.
At least this is my definition. I have tried to cut out white flour and sugar and lost 11 pounds in the last 2 months.
but it is soooooo hard.

I completely disagree about whole wheat. It's as bad for a diabetic or prediabetic as white flour. Wheat is wheat is wheat. It's like saying that since cigarettes are harmful, I'll only smok mentholated filtered cigarettes.
It's best to avoid all gluten, as well as sugar.
A piece of whole wheat toast has a higher glycemic index than table sugar!
