If you want to ramp up carbs for better performance on the bike (what I've spelled out it ~100 grams of carbs/day), then you can get them from sweet potatoes, yams, maybe some rice. Play with it and see how man carbs you really need. I promise it's less than you think.
Very well said. I agree with you that eating too many very sweet fruits is not as healthy as some people think. I should of been more clear. I eat mostly low-glycemic fruits such as apples, pears, avocados and sometimes few berries. I also stay away from fruit juices because they have too much sugar.
