Better, but still carbs. It's just harder to eat a lot of those. I would challenge "whole grains" actually being any better at all.
Honestly, I think the whole fiber intake stuff is bs. Anecdotally, I feel much better on a low fiber high protein diet than anything else. So does the rest of my family.
My opinion on carbs is that you should only eat them when you're going to burn them quickly. That's what they're for, to give you a big energy boost. They're not for consuming and then sitting on your ass.

The book Fiber Fueled [1] talks about what happens with fiber in our gut and the impact on our bodies at a high level. The author (an MD GI doctor) provides the scientific background for his claims for those that want it.
