Most complex carbs need to be digested first, in order to use them as fuel.

Most fruit has pectin and fiber to slow it down

Most grains and starches have fiber which slows them down

This is why ppl eat brown rice, the fiber slows it down. However, if you eat white rice with butter, the butter slows it down.
