When it Comes to Diets, Carbs Should Be Measured by Quality, Not Quantity
Transitions Lifestyle System Shifts the Focus Away from Carbs
Greensboro, NC (PRWEB) June 6, 2005 -- In recent years, diet marketers told
dieters to obsess over the number of carbs rather than how those carbs affected
their bodies. Now that the low-carb craze has waned, dieters have realized that
simply reducing carbs is unsustainable and many have given up their efforts.
Enter the low-glycemic-index diet, a scientific method of eating according to
how food-induced blood sugar spikes can prevent weight loss.
“What
dieters realized after the low-carb bubble burst is that simple fixes to weight
problems do not work,” said Shari Lieberman, Ph.D. and best-selling author. “Fad
diets will work for nothing more than short-term weight loss. Keeping the weight
off is the challenge since low-carb or no-carb diets are flawed from the
beginning.”
Lieberman has touted the low-glycemic index to clients of her
20-year, clinical nutrition practice in New York. In 2004, she partnered with
Market America to develop the Transitions Lifestyle System™, a low-glycemic
system that helps dieters change more than eating habits.
Transitions,
unlike many diets currently on the market, does not cut out carbohydrates or ask
consumers to starve themselves. Instead, it teaches healthy eating according to
glycemic index, stress reduction and regular exercise. The system includes:
•
Lifestyle journal to help chart progress, provide healthy-living information,
meal planning and motivational support.
• Exercise and stress-reduction tips
to enhance weight management.
• Delicious, portion-controlled meals designed
to maintain healthy eating habits.
• Healthy shakes and bars for nourishing,
On-The-Go™ snacks.
• Nutritional supplements tailored to help reduce cravings
and promote health.
“The Transitions system was built on years of
scientific research on low-glycemic-index diets,” said Lieberman. “I want
dieters to understand that simple changes in how they live their lives can make
huge changes in their health. Small changes in eating habits can lead not only
to weight reduction but drastic reductions in the risks for many other
conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.”
The Transitions Lifestyle
System is available exclusively through Market America’s independent
distributors in the U.S. More information is available at
