When
it Comes to Diets,
Carbs Should Be Measured by Quality, Not
Quantity
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
