The lack of understanding of this is indicative of how little thought americans have regarding how what dietary and lifestyle choices they make have a direct influence on how they look and how healthy they are.

lol @ glycemic index. I guess you believe whatever the nutrisystem commercials tell you. If YOU did the research you'd find there's no evidence to support that eating low GI foods will lead to greater fat loss. Here's just a few to get you started:

Where did I advocate eating nothing but high GI foods for a healthy lifestyle? I was just stating what the research shows. Whether you choose to believe that or some bro science article you read on tnation, that's up to you. With that said, I do believe lower GI carbs have added benefits (hunger control due to fiber, additional nutrients, etc), which is why I tend to choose them over more refined/processed carbs.
But at the end of the day, it's calories in vs calories out for fat loss. How you to go about the caloric deficiency (low fat, low carbs, low protein, or just eat less) is up to the individual and their lifestyle.
