Raw carrots aren't well digested and in strict moderation they would be okay, in my opinion. Just watch the carb content....no carrot juicing especially, and don't cook up half a bag of baby carrots for a meal :) Remember it's all about dose. You can take in a high GI carb and it won't affect your diet. For example if you use a few packs of splenda you will get in a VERY high GI carb, but since it's only a couple grams of actual sugar, the glycemic load is so low that it doesn't matter. Dose....
