yes RNC, the Dr. is right and welcome to our world! ( DH and mine ) Your Dr. is likely steering you to choose complex carbs ( those that digest slowly and provide fibre and nutrients ) over simple carbs which digest very fast ( turn to sugar fast ) and have us spiking and crashing all day.
It takes some discipline but once you move away from consuming the bready deliciousness of all things bagel, donut, kaiser related, well you will see results very fast and wonder why you ate them in the first place.
