For me, more complex carbs make me feel sluggish and fruits tend to be my "racehorse" food. I remember one day consciously spooning out less rice because just looking at the amount I'd been eating didn't feel right. And I quit eating mangoes and melons completely because of how I feel later.

This is such and individual thing and a matter of making subtle adjustments all along the way.
Thanks SJD, it's good to be back!
