WTF?? since when?

I don't think the GI list is the answer to dieting, but it is very useful. The Glycemic Load is actually more important than just the GI of a single food. However, I feel that the GI has helped me tremendously at times. Understanding what factors can lower a GI rating helps me make better selections of foods. For example, adding a shot vinegar before drinking milk helps tremendously. Just small things that add up.

The most important thing is total calorie expenditure. Total consumed calories either over or under is what will determine weight gain or weight loss.

oh, and like Bunny mentioned, it is definately better to weigh food than measure it.

I'll start weighing shit out. I have a good scale here anyways. Just never bothered to weight stuff that said 1/2 cup is X amount of carbs. Turns out that 1/2 cup weighs more in grams then what the product states it does.

Yeah, that happens a lot. If you are not trying to be exact every time, after a while, you will get real good at eyeballing it...lol.
