Carbohydrates, have a propensity to raise glucose levels, quickly. The simpler the carbohydrate, the greater the impact may be. Your body, compensates by secreting insulin, an anabolic hormone. Insulin drives the glucose, into fat cells.

Some of us, are far more sensitive to carbohydrates, than others. Two people, can follow the identical diet, engage in the same daily activity, and get very different results.

The complexity of the carbohydrate, when you consume it, and how you consume it, are significant factors. One of the worst things you can do, even if you are not carbohydrate sensitive, is start your day, break your fast, with a sugary drink, e.g., soda, juice. The sugar, already in solution, will be rapidly absorbed. Slowly eating an orange, after dinner will not have the same effect. The mechanism, is similar to drinking alcohol on an empty stomach, in contrast to a full stomach. Complex carbohydrates, are absorbed much slower, even on an empty stomach. Ten grams of carbohydrate, from asparagus, will not have the same impact, as ten grams of carbohydrate from an apple.

There also, is some limited evidence, that some foods, may produce insulin potentiators in the intestine, thereby reducing the impact of carbohydrates.

They quickly turn into simple sugars, and then if you don't burn them right away, into fat. But everyone's bodies are different and if you can get away with eating them that's very lucky for you.
