Low GI food before exercise = more fat loss!

I saw this on AOL today:

Foods with a high GI index are digested quickly and absorbed into the blood stream, spiking blood sugar levels and raising insulin levels. Foods with a low GI index are digested slowly, so they allow gradual absorption into the bloodstream and with it, a gradual rise in blood sugar. Recently, researchers have found that women who eat a high-carb, low-glycemic-index breakfast burned nearly 50 percent more fat in their hour-long morning workouts than women who ate a calorically-identical high-glycemic-index meal. The researchers believe that low-glycemic index carbohydrates, like whole-grain bread and muesli allow the body to use body fat for burning, not blood sugar. :drinker: Cool!

Here is the link. AOL does the weird pop-up-slide show things. If you see the pic of milk bottles and click on it to scroll through, it is the number 7 slide.
