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 transitionslife.com.

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.

Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.

Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.

In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.

In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.

With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.

Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.

Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.

In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
