I limit my carb intake to around 120 grams a day. Here's a site that will help you choose the best carbs.

    How to Switch to a Low GI Diet

    The basic technique for eating the low GI way is simply a "this for that" approach - ie, swapping high GI carbs for low GI carbs. You don't need to count numbers or do any sort of mental arithmetic to make sure you are eating a healthy, low GI diet.

    * Use breakfast cereals based on oats, barley and bran
    * Use breads with wholegrains, stone-ground flour, sour dough
    * Reduce the amount of potatoes you eat
    * Enjoy all other types of fruit and vegetables
    * Use Basmati or Doongara rice
    * Enjoy pasta, noodles, quinoa
    * Eat plenty of salad vegetables with a vinaigrette dressing
