Understanding simple Carbohydrates

Simple carbohydrates are anything made with refined flour and sugar, such as rice, pasta, and pastries.You need not overlook those liquid sources (wet carbohydrates), such as soda, fruit drinks, and alcohol. These foods and drinks are digested very quickly, causing wide swings in blood sugar that make you feel hungry again not long after you've eaten.

Complex carbohydrates, like fruits, vegetables, and whole grain rice, pasta and breads take longer to digest so your blood sugar stays steady and you can go longer without feeling hungry.
As for wetting your palate the best liquid source is always water.
