OK. Showing my nutritional ignorance here, but can someone explain to me Complex carbs vs. simple carbs?

I had my surgery in Mexico so I don't have a NUT and have never been to a dietician so I'm pretty ignorant on food nutrition.

I'm sure someone else can answer better, but I'm pretty sure Simple Carbs are the bad ones, like white bread, white rice, white potatoes for example. And complex carbs are the healthier whole grains.
