Best-Selling Author, Nutritionist Gives Road Map to Weight Loss

Greensboro, NC (PRWEB) September 26, 2006

The Transitions Lifestyle System™, an exclusive Market America brand, announced the publication of a new book authored by Shari Lieberman, Ph.D., clinical nutritionist and best-selling author of the Real Vitamin and Mineral Book. The book, entitled Transitions Lifestyle System Glycemic Index Food Guide, gives dieters an easy-to-follow guide to eating healthy foods.

“This book is for anyone who wants to make a change in their health,” said Lieberman. “By using this book and the glycemic index, people can make small changes in their lives and have dramatic effects on their health. Consumers have realized that fad diets do not work and may even cause them to end up gaining weight. Diabetics and nutritionists have used the glycemic index for years as a way to control blood sugar spikes after eating. It is a more natural way of making small changes for big results that last.”

The Transitions Lifestyle System Glycemic Index Food Guide also helps readers understand the importance of the glycemic load of foods. The glycemic load (GL) of a food measures the glycemic index of food along with the total number of carbohydrates to give an accurate indication of how a food might affect blood sugar spikes. By understanding the GL of food, consumers can understand that serving size and GI are intertwined when considering effects on blood sugar.

Designed by Lieberman, the best-selling author and 20-year veteran of nutrition science, Transitions Lifestyle System draws upon a well-established and evaluated method of weight management based on the glycemic index of foods. Glycemic index (GI) measures how quickly foods impact blood sugar levels. Carbohydrates that break down slowly and help keep blood sugar levels stable are considered “good carbs.”

The Transitions Lifestyle System Glycemic Index Food Guide is sold through Market America’s independent distributors and online book retailers. To locate a distributor, visit marketamerica.com or call (800) 862-6561.
