GI refers to the glycemic index. this is a list of foods and a rating of how quickly they are absorbed. the lower the number, the more time it takes for them to be absorbed. this is important because you only want high gi foods postworkout because at this time you need to replenish your glycogen stores and keep your body out of a state of catabolism. at otehr times of the day you do not need energy quickly, so you want low gi foods so they wont just be absorbed fast and stored as fat b/c teh energy isnt used. do a search and you can find a list and ratings of each food.

Is he saying the the two different lists are based on two different indexes?

One starting with 50g of glucose ingested then dependent on how high your glucose levels raised upon ingestion of particular foods that would be the percentage of that particular food.

Second, using white bread as the base, setting it as 100, and feeding their subjects 50 grams of carbohydrates from white bread instead.

kinda confusing, I'm just not sure as to why he has listed two different indexes?

you have to choose one (of the 2 lists)

and choose the lower GI food from THIS list
(the low food from the 1st list are the same as those from the 2nd list)
