I know some of the basic complex and simple carbs, but if anyone could give me some help on this issue, such as what foods are what would be a big help, thanks.

Yeah check out the link for the G.I. index. Basically, complex carbs are stuff like oats,whole grains,yams and beans. They call them complex because they are slowly released into the blood stream and burn slowly. Where as most sugary soft drinks, gatorade, breakfast cereals and dextrose are considered simple carbs because they are rapidly absorbed and raise insulin levels quickly.
