Simple and Complex Carbohydrates

The consumption of Simple Sugars causes Insulin levels to spike, and with time can develop into conditions such as Diabetes. 

If you are craving sweets, you can minimize this spike by also consuming some complex carbohydrates at or near the same time you consume the Simple ones. 

The cumulative effect is that you "average out" the effect of the Simple Carbs because the Complex Carbs will slowly be released into your bloodstream and you won't just have a sudden spike due to the sugars in the sweets.
