That's easy enough to say if you don't have sugar issues or a carb addiction. I simply should not have bread, rice, simple sugars, period and neither can or should a lot of people on this site.
So, while I hate to use the word "forbidden", I do use the words "foods I should avoid".
Even if I didn't have sugar issues, I have learned that having them makes me crave them something fierce. So, having that bread or muffin will just make me want to eat MORE sweets. So, sometimes, for some people, you just have to say no... and deal with finding ways to deal with those cravings by not eating even a bite or two.
