Good Carb/ Bad Carb, no donut

So I keep hearing the term "good carb" I know it has to do with the foods glycemic index or some such.

Can anyone explain this is non Chemistry Major terms and/or provide a website that lists good/bad carbs?

Eric found and fell in love with a Vietnamese bakery near our home. Since he does the grocery shopping, all bread purchases became pure white fluffy-soft baguettes, every lunch sandwich, every day of the week.
Two weeks later, after I'd crash and burn at 3 pm, miserably slog through easy exercise, and gobble down vegetables as if I was starving for basic nutrients, I hit upon what the problem was.
I asked Eric to move baguettes into the "treat" category. "Why?" he asked, disappointed.
"Because we've been eating the nutritional equivalent of birthday cake, every day for two weeks." I said.

White bread is the evil, I had some dutch crumb the other day and I could taste the "sugar" in it.
