The gylcemic index is an awesome guide when choosing carbohydrate sources for meal composition. Most ideal weight loss nutrition situations would have you consuming the higher GI load foods earlier in the day and lower GI foods later in the day in order to keep blood sugar levels normalized and metabolic processes optimized.

Core exercises are vital in the beginning phases of the exercise portion of your weight loss process. By starting with stabilization/conditioning training you dramatically decrease your potential for injury and learn to recruit core muscles into each movement making you stronger, more stable, and able to have safer workouts.
Exercises like the "plank" or "prone iso-ab" shown recruit virtually every muscle in your body and are many times more effective for "true" core training than vanity exercises such as crunches.
