This write-up gets the Martian Seal Of Approval. Which, y'know, means a whole bunch. Really.
All very sound advice. Simple carbs (read: sugar) are bad for you, because they add a lot of calories and bost your blood sugar levels drastically. They also tend to come in what's called "empty calories" - that is, high levels of caloric intake with little to no nutritive value.
Even if you're not trying to lose weight (at my staggering 160 lbs, I can't afford to lose any myself) baked foods as an alternative to fried are generally easier on the gut and much healthier. Baked french fries turn out quite nicely, baked potato chips in my opinion taste better than their fried counterparts (and come without all that bloody grease, which is a huge benefit as far as I'm concerned) and even things like grilled cheese sandwiches can be very tasty and much better for you if done under the broiler instead of in the frying pan. Which I suppose would make them toasted cheese sandwiches. Who's keeping track?
