<< what are your opinions on juicing? Is the glycemic index of juices too
high that I should not be drinking them?>>

Fresh fruits juices have to tendency of causing blood sugar and insulin
spikes.  Better to eat the whole fruit, fiber and all.

<<Is there any preferred fruits to others?>>

Berries and locally-grown, organic, in-season fruits.

<<I...usually start my day with a plate of fruit. I don't know if eating
all this sugar is good for me but I always seem to crave carbs when I'm
exercising intensely.>

Fruits are cell cleanses.  They require a minimum of digestive energy while
providing a quality source of nutrients. First thing in the morning by
themselves is a good time to eat fruit.



Craving carbs while exercising is likely a response to falling glycogen
reserves.  Such cravings may diminish once your body adjusts to burning fat
reserves for energy.
