Do you guys still give much credit to the GI of the food that you eat? I mean, will you NOT eat basmati rice or mashed potatoes because it is high on the GI scale? Eating proteins, fibers (some vegetables) with it along with some good fats will most likely lower the GL more than sufficiently right?
I also used to separate my carbs and my fat (P+F and P+C meals). When i'm done cutting, i'll most likely eat only mixed meals (P+C+F) except PWO. The more I learn, the more it seems pointless and unjustified to separate my fat and carbs as the digestion of each meal overlap each other (unless you eat your meals 8+ hours apart). The daily total seems to be what really matters.
I think the main point behind the GI is that USUALLY when it's on the lower end, the food tend to be more nutritious and better at satisfying the hunger, hence makes for a better food choice (although baked potatoes are pretty high GI...).
Opinions?
