I read in a thread somewhere that you should stay away from baby carrots? If so, how come?

If you're dieting for competition stay away, if not eat away. That's what I say anyway. Yay.

Homer: Hey! I saved your life! That egg sandwich could have killed you by cholesterol.
Lenny: Pfft, forget it, Homer. While it has been established that eggs contain cholesterol, it has not yet been proven conclusively that they actually raise the level of serum cholesterol in the human
blood stream.

Carrots have the highest sugar content of veggies after beets.
That's why they aren't the best choice of veggies, off season I have at 'em anyway because I love them but pre-contest they are a big no no for me.

Corn is also a no no..grrr. Fresh corn on the cob in the summer is so yummy. Also, peas, but less so.

Yup - because corn is a grain and peas are a legume!

Wow this is all news to me. I guess I will have to change my choice of veggies... thanks for the information

You would have to eat a whole hell of a lot of baby carrots to have any real affect on blood sugar. I seriously wouldn't be too concerned at all.

Aw getting all technical on me Emma lol. They still taste good.

I agree with that - they are low in calories and have a low GI as well.. But at the end of the day, if you are cutting (and I mean competition cutting here - final few weeks) there are better vegetables to eat.
