Transitions LifeStyle System

The Transitions Lifestyle System is not just another diet. In a recent Glycemic Index Interview with Dr. Shari Lieberman, author of the book Transition Lifestyle System Gycemic Index Food Guide, she talked about the program which she endorses. The guide can be used in conjunction with the program or on its own to help you take charge of your health through proper diet.

About Transitions Lifestyle Program

According to Dr. Lieberman, the Transitions Lifestyle Program is an “eating education” that combines proper nutrition with exercise and supplements designed to help you lose weight and improve your overall health.

Dr. Lieberman says that most people are over-fed and under nourished. By understanding how the glycemic index actually works, you can avoid or manage health issues such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems while increasing your energy and losing weight.

This can be accomplished through just using the book, but the best results have been seen by those who follow the program for 12 weeks. Studies have shown that those who did this lost an average of four percent of their body fat along with an amazing four inches in body measurements!
