Bad carbs contain processed usually white sugar that spike your blood sugar so you feel good for a little but then you feel like you need more sugar. Good carbs are natural occuring sugars so your body likes them more and you feel better all the time! Don't eat processed, boxed food. Eat fresh good food! Have fun! Try something new every day! Don't forget whole grains and protein along with good fats! Canola, olive, hazelnut, peanut, seasame oils to cooks or mix with salads. And add some raw seeds, pumpkin, sunflower and some nuts, almonds and walnuts! Oh just enjoy! Be good to yourself!!

Bad carbs only exist if you don't exercise. If you workout, its good to get simple carbs, or high glycemic carbs, right after your workout. Honey, white potatoes, anything sweetened with Maltose, Glucose, or Sucrose, and white rice. These create an isulin spike, because they are digested more quickly, so they enter the bloodsteam faster, and raise blood sugar levels. When this happens, your body will not burn its fat stores as quickly, but it also aids in protein absorption.
Complex carbs (sweet potatoes, brown rice, oat meal, whole wheat pasta) take longer for your body to digest, so your blood sugar levels stay more even, so your body will look to the fat cells for energy.
