It doesn't matter for fat loss, your body digests it all to simpler sugars.

It matters if you're a diabetic and can't have blood sugar spikes. Or if you're having a pre/post workout meal and need a sugar spike

When you only eat low GI your body doesn't crave sugars making it easier to maintain low caloric intake.

GI is a trolling scale
>have to eat 100 grams of nutrient to """study""" the effect
>eating 100 grams of caster sugar is easy
>try eating 100 grams of sugar in water melon, 6 grams per 100 gram means you have to eat 1.66kg of watermelon
Look up the insulin index OP, much more helpfull

that broscience

high GI = insulin spike
insulin spike = glucose converts to fat tissue

while

low GI = no insulin
low levels of insulin for a few hours = body enters fat burn mode

it's actually more complicated than that, but that's the outline

In terms of bodybuilding it has to do with insulin. Basically lots of carbs or simple sugars will spike your insulin. Insulin is responsible for storing things (fat/muscle).

This pretty much

This guy explains it very well:
