To piggy-back on both of you, there are two types of carbs: simple and complex. You should avoid the simple carbs. When consuming complex carbs, you should avoid the starches. You are looking at which foods affect your insulin levels.

Yeah - but that's marketing hype. "Whole grain" and other such stuff makes no real difference. Carbs are carbs are carbs.

"Fiber" shouldn't be an issue.

I speak from experience. The types of carbs make a difference in my diet. All carbs are not the same.
