Low carb in Negril?

[Muck]

I disagree RockRobster...there IS such a thing as a "good carb". Foods such as spinach and carrots (both considered "carbohydrates") are very healthy. All fruits and vegetables are considered "carb" foods. By eliminating or reducing these foods from your diet, you are also eliminating a great source of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Fiber is important because is slows the absorbtion rate of the nutrients thereby reducing the peaks and valleys in blood sugar levels, ultimately reducing the risk of developing diabetes. Fiber also helps keep that "full" feeling, so you're not always feeling as hungry.

What you want to eliminate or reduce is the "refined" carbs such as white rice, pasta, white flour, etc. These carbos break down quickly and give you that short term energy bust, but then is followed by "withdrawl" systems making you feel sluggish and hungry.
