3. What's Transitions all about?
A new lifestyle - a new you! Transitions is a comprehensive lifestyle system designed to
help you achieve your weight loss goals and be healthy!
Not a
diet...
...it's a
Total
Lifestyle!
Transitions is an extensive plan that covers everything you'll need to get fit
and trim, not just a set of foods you can or cannot eat. In fact, a big part
of the Transitions Lifestyle System is helping you make healthy choices
while still eating a normal, diverse diet!
Our plan doesn't focus just on food like many other systems. The
Transitions Lifestyle System™ provides a total-system approach that
promotes healthy food choices, exercise, stress reduction, and tailored
supplementation that together is easy to follow and maintain throughout
your life.
The Transitions Lifestyle System 12-week Program incorporates these
components into an educational forum while providing group support.
Additional support materials include: low-gylcemic index (GI) meal plans, a
daily journal to guide you, weight-management supplements to accelerate
weight loss, entrees, bars and shakes to keep you on track, behavior
modification and support materials to ensure your success, an interactive
Web site to track your progress and more!
Background
Dr. Shari Lieberman, the founder of the Transitions Lifestyle System, presents a fresh approach
to healthy living through diet, exercise and supplementation. Her philosophy and teachings are
based on what nature intended — how our ancestors and the earliest human civilization existed
– how and what they ate, how active they were, and how healthy they stayed!
The Transitions Lifestyle System will help guide you to a healthier life by managing your
weight and optimizing your health. Take Control Today for a Healthy Tomorrow!
Are you frustrated because you’re back to square one after following the newest diet of the
season, trend of the month, or latest fad?
Well you’re not alone, thousands of people go on and off these types of diets everyday and
thousands more have despairing stories to tell. Through all this, there is one important fact
you need to know and always keep in mind —
You did not fail in your diet attempts — THE DIET FAILED YOU!
The Tranisitions weight management philosophy is a solution to all the reasons you are
overweight.

4. What is the Glycemic Index?
The Glycemic Index (GI) is simply a measurement of the impact of a gram of carbohydrate on
your blood sugar levels. For example — if you eat light flour such as white bread, it has a
very high glycemic index, so it raises blood sugar very quickly. When blood sugar rises fast —
your insulin levels also rise fast which throws a metabolic switch in your body which
tells it to store body fat.
Low GI foods do not raise blood sugar quickly and do not throw that metabolic switch to store
body fat. Incorporating low GI foods allows you to eat many different types of fruits,
vegatables, grains and protein — which makes it so easy to follow and incorporate into your
lifestyle.
This in fact is the way our ancestors ate and how the healthiest indigenous tribes around the
world eat. The way nature intended.
Because you are eating low glycemic foods you will feel satisfied, you’ll have less sweet
cravings and less carb cravings, yet you’ll feel great and have more energy. A low glycemic
approach provides a form of “timed release energy for your body. Because low GI carbs
are absorbed slowly, they provide your body with even energy over time. You’ll even be less
cranky and have less cravings for those “quick fix” sweets.
This is the perfect, healthy and well balanced weight management solution for everyone.
Muscle Dictates Metabolism
Most diets induce muscle and water loss as a quick fix that can slow your metabolism 10% —
15%. And when you gain the weight back — you gain it back as body fat which further slows
your metabolism and makes it more difficult to lose weight.
Transitions is the only weight management system that focuses on body composition. Under
the philosophy that “Muscle Dictates Metabolism”, the more muscle you retain and build, the
higher your metabolism and the more energy you naturally burn. This translates to healthy
weight management and a healthy body.
The total Transitions Lifestyle System will help guide you to Take Control Today for a Healthy
Tomorrow.
Behavior Modification is a Key to Success
Behavior modification is a crucial component to long-term weight management success. The
Transitions Lifestyle System has several components for behavior modification.
The Daily Journal
The Daily Journal provides 24/7 support to achieve long-term weight loss for 30 days at a
time. It provides education on eating low-glycemic index (GI), sample menus, lists of low,
moderate and high GI foods, daily recording of your diet and exercise, positive affirmations
and reminders for taking your supplements so that you can take charge of your weight and
begin to form new and healthy habits. The Daily Journal should be used month to month at
least until your weight-loss goal is achieved. Many prefer to use it longer or indefinitely to
maximize results. It is an excellent accountability tool. Studies have shown that keeping daily

5. track of what you are eating, when you are exercising and other lifestyle changes, is the best
way to lose weight and maintain the weight you’ve lost.
The DVDs
The DVDs cover important lifestyle change issues: "Why Can’t I Lose Weight?," "Getting
Healthy: Body & Mind," "The Misleading Label," "Supplements For Success," "Detox Diet &
Plateau," "Grains, Health and Your Weight," "Good Fats, Bad Fats," "Get Off the Sweet Stuff,"
"What’s The Right Type of Exercise?," "Stress and Weight Gain," "Staying On Track" and
"Results For a Lifetime." These are important reinforcement tools that can be viewed again
and again. They can be used individually or in group settings.
Foods on the Go
Delicious shelf-stable meals are available that require no refrigeration and are preservative-
free for those who don’t have time to cook or need better food choices than what is usually
available. For snacks, treats or before or after a workout – nothing tastes better than our bars
and shakes! These foods help you stay on track and not miss a beat.
Supplements for Success
Scientifically-formulated dietary supplements can be customized to fit your individual needs.
Whether carbohydrates are your downfall or you need healthy metabolism support - your
Customer Manager can help you choose the supplements that are right for you.
The Transitions Lifestyle System 12-Week Program
The Transitions Lifestyle System can be easily incorporated into your daily lifestyle and
provides you with all the tools you need to stay on track and get results. For those that want
even greater support – consider participating in a Transitions Lifestyle System 12-Week

13. THERMOCHROME w/ ADVANTRA Z & SOUTH AFRICAN HOODIA GORDONII
Primary Benefits:
• Increases energy
• Helps to alleviate occasional fatigue
• Promotes thermogenesis and lipolysis
• Promotes weight loss
• May suppress appetite
• Helps maintain normal blood sugar levels
• Contains key ingredients that support normal metabolic
functions
What Makes This Product Unique?
There are many supplements on the market that claim to
Be using high quality ingredients. Transitions™
Thermochrome with Advantra Z® and South African
Hoodia Gordonii has the proof to back up those claims.
TRANSITIONS LIFESTYLE SYSTEM®
Hoodia Gordonii has the proof to back up those claims.
We use only the highest quality ingredients including
the only patented Citrus aurantium extract (Advantra Z®)
for weight loss and physical performance on the market
today. We also ensure that every batch of Hoodia gordonii that goes into our product is tested by
alchemists and that the chromatography is reviewed for complete plant compounds providing the
highest levels of performance. Transitions Thermochrome is a very unique blend of herbs,
extracts and vitamins that promise to provide you with calorie burning (thermogenesis), fat
burning (lipolysis), and appetite suppression all in one product. Typically when you restrict
calories/intake, your body stops working as hard and your metabolism slows down. Transitions™
Thermochrome allows you to restrict calories while maintaining your metabolism and increasing
the burning of body fat for fuel.
Thermochrome™ stimulates thermogenesis. Thermogenesis is the production of heat generated
from the burning of consumed and stored fat, which helps to support what is called brown fat, or
brown adipose tissue. Brown fat produces heat by burning a high amount of calories.
Thermochrome is a unique, proprietary formula that combines the proven sciences of
thermogenics and the support of metabolic functions. Thermochrome can be used as an
alternative to other formerly ephedra-based products, to help control appetite and promote the
burning of calories. Thermochrome also has Advantra Z and Hoodia added to the formulation to
help control appetite and keep food cravings under control

14. Primary Benefits
• Inhibits the conversion of sugars into fat in the body
• May promote a feeling of fullness
• Promotes weight loss
• Promotes healthy blood sugar levels
• Promotes normal insulin activity
• Helps maintain normal cholesterol levels
• Helps reduce sugar cravings
• Enhances the use of fat as fuel
What Makes This Product Unique?
Transitions Fat Conversion Inhibitor (FCI) takes a multifaceted
approach to enhancing weight loss. It works with natural, herbal
ingredients to moderate the number of calories converted to fat, assists in maintaining normal blood
sugar levels and helps to control appetite. FCI is an incredible combination of ingredients, which
support weight loss and fat usage. It contains Garcinia cambogia, which helps to inhibit the fat
conversion process in the body's cells. This promotes effective burning of calories, which further
promotes weight loss for those individuals looking to reap the most benefits from a healthy, active
lifestyle. Garcinia cambogia increases serotonin levels, which aids in regulating appetite. Transitions
FCI contains Gymnema sylvestre, a natural herb that can maintain blood sugar levels and reduces
cravings for sweets. Chromium, an essential trace mineral, works with insulin to stimulate glucose uptake
by the cells. This process aids in the maintenance of blood sugar levels, which ultimately helps maintain
energy levels and decreases food cravings.
Frequently Asked Questions:
In considering the Transitions Lifestyle System TM
, how important is calorie counting?
The Transitions Lifestyle System is based on a low-glycemic eating and the portion-control philosophy,
not calorie counting. There are a certain amount of calories that determines weight loss or gain, yet the
Transitions Lifestyle System is based around eating the right kinds of foods that simultaneously help to
fill and nourish your body. Counting calories is not a priority when you follow the Transitions Lifestyle
System.
As I lose weight, will the elasticity in my skin adapt to the weight loss?
Yes. When you lose weight as body fat, you maintain the muscle. It is equally important that you
exercise to improve your muscle mass and tone and help target body-fat loss as well.
Are fat-free and low-fat foods the solution to being overweight?
These foods can definitely play a part in an overall effort to lose weight, but consuming them will not
undo a myriad of other dietary downfalls, or make up for a lack of physical activity. To lose weight, you
need to take in less energy (eat fewer calories) than you expend (or work off)
through physical activity. Also, focusing on eating a wide variety of lower-GI
foods is a great way to appease the senses as well as gain a greater range of
vitamins and nutrients in the diet.
TRANSITIONS LIFESTYLE SYSTEM®
FAT CONVERSION INHIBITOR

15. Primary Benefits
• Reduces the effects of high glycemic index foods on blood
sugar levels
• Reduces the effects of food on blood sugar levels
• Helps inhibit carbohydrate absorption in the body
• Helps inhibit the absorption of starch and maltodextrin
• Works to inhibit the breakdown of starch into glucose
• Promotes overall reduction in BMI
What Makes This Product Unique?
It inhibits the enzymes that normally breakdown starch into
glucose in the small intestine. As a result, the absorption of
glucose from carbohydrate-rich foods, such as bread, potatoes, rice
and pasta is limited. The active ingredient, wheat amylase
inhibitor, delivers the advantage of maximum effectiveness in
small amounts. This gives you an advantage in regards to
minimizing the effects of surplus carbohydrates, waiting to convert into fat within the body.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What are carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are one of the body's three sources of fuel, the other sources being protein and fat. All
three of these sources contain calories; carbohydrates and proteins supply four calories per gram, and
fats supply nine calories per gram. When the body burns a calorie - whether from a carbohydrate, a
protein or a fat - energy is released. Carbohydrates, however, have the distinction of being the body's
main and most efficient source of energy.
How are different carbohydrates metabolized in the body?
When a food containing complex carbohydrates - oatmeal, for instance - is eaten, its high fiber content prevents
it from quickly leaving the stomach. This results in a feeling of fullness. The food then moves on to the small
intestine, where the two types of complex carbohydrate - starch and fiber - separate from each other. The starch
portion slowly makes its way toward the villi, which are the fingerlike projections of the small intestine that
absorb nutrients. By this time, the starch has been broken down into glucose and is ready to be transported to
the blood. When the glucose enters the blood, blood sugar levels rise. This, in turn, causes the pancreas to
secrete insulin, a hormone that allows glucose to be transported to the cells. When glucose enters the cells, some
of it is immediately used as fuel, some is stored in the muscles and liver as reserve fuel, and any remaining
glucose is stored as fat. As glucose is distributed throughout the body, blood sugar levels begin to fall.
A very different scenario occurs when a food that contains simple carbohydrates is consumed. - a sugar-sweetened
soft drink for instance. Because this type of food has little or no fiber to slow its
movement through the stomach, it is rapidly transported to the small intestine. Once
there, the starch is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, causing a surge of glucose
in the blood and a resulting spike in blood sugar levels. The pancreas, in response,
releases insulin, which immediately begins the task of moving the glucose into cells.
TRANSITIONS LIFESTYLE SYSTEM®
CARBOHYDRATE ABSORPTION INHIBITOR

16. Primary Benefits:
• Promotes healthy blood sugar levels
• Supports insulin activity
• Help to maintain cardiovascular health
• Helps with energy and stamina
• Promotes muscle health and strength
• Helps in weight management
What Makes This Product Unique?
Isotonix Isochrome is a distinctive combination of essential
compounds that include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes
and Co-enzyme Q10. These compounds provide nutrients that
can support healthy blood sugar maintenance and improve the
success of most weight-loss programs . The key ingredients
included in Isochrome are considered to be significant in the
body's production of energy, and the remaining nutrients aid in
optimizing the overall effectiveness of the formula. Each
ingredient has been scientifically studied to document safety and
efficacy. Isochrome provides a powerful dose of chromium
supplementation, which has been shown to help support healthy
blood sugar levels and healthy levels of blood cholesterol. It also aids in supporting normal metabolic
rates and healthy muscle performance. Isochrome is a powerful antioxidant. It helps support heart
and immune functions.
Frequently Asked Question
Is chromium picolinate safe?
Yes. Over 35 clinical trials have been conducted to analyze chromium picolinate and its effects.
Studies have shown that 400 mcg per day is a good base level for most adults. If you are more active
you may need more. If you are less active or over the age of 65, 200 mcg per day is recommended.
Can you get L-carnitine from any food sources?
Yes, L-carnitine can be found in meats, vegetables and grains. It typically comes in higher
concentrations in red meats such as beef or lamb, and in lower concentrations in white meats and
vegetables. Since vegetables are low in carnitine, it is good to supplement your diet with L-carnitine.
What are the other ingredients in Isochrome useful for?
Isochrome also includes boron, potassium, and vitamins B2 and B6. There are indications that boron
enhances the effect of vitamins that are deficient in the body. Potassium is a mineral that maintains
fluid balance in the body, stimulates nerve transmission, muscle relaxation, promotes glycogen and
protein synthesis and promotes proper heartbeat. Vitamin B2
promotes glycogen synthesis, supports energy production, and helps
breakdown fats while functioning as a cofactor in activating vitamin B6
and folic acid.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is TRANSITIONS®
CLA?
CLA is conjugated linoleic acid, a fatty acid that is recognized for its role in promoting good health.
TRANSITIONS®
is the highest quality form of CLA on the market, a licensed brand name owned
exclusively by Cognis Group. It is made from a proprietary process that converts linoleic acid from
safflowers into conjugated linoleic acid. Our proprietary processing ensures the lowest levels of non-
naturally occurring isomers (impurities) in our final product. When you choose TRANSITIONS®
CLA,
you choose a one of a kind, patented product, uniquely consistent in purity and quality.
How does CLA work in the body?
CLA works in four parts of the body: it decreases adipocytes (fat cells), decreases the storage of
triglycerides in the cells, it increases fat cells apoptosis (cell death) and increases CPT (carnitine
palmitoyltranferase) activity, so fat is burned up faster.
Are there any other health benefits of TRANSITIONS®
CLA?
TRANSITIONS®
CLA is the leading manufacturer to invest in clinical research and applies extensive
research and technology to further broaden CLA's benefits. Currently,
research shows CLA may promote overall well-being in other areas of the

studies are now being conducted worldwide.
TRANSITIONS LIFESTYLE SYSTEM®
CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID

19. Primary Benefits:
• Promotes lipolysis (breakdown of fat) and thermogenesis
(burning of fat)
• Provides metabolic support
• Increases the retention of lean body mass
• Promotes optimal body composition
• Helps maintain healthy levels of cortisol
• Helps promote healthy thyroid function
• Promotes healthy levels of thyroid hormones
• Helps the body adapt to stress
• Helps enhance and stabilize mood
What Makes This Product Unique?
The thyroid gland is responsible for controlling weight, body temperature, heart rate, alertness, and
mood. The thyroid gland is the body’s key metabolism regulator. If your thyroid is not working
optimally or is underactive it results in an underactive metabolism possibly leading to weight gain, fat
retention, and a decreased ability to lose weight no matter how hard you work. Transitions Thyroid
Support Formula does just what its name implies. This product is designed to address weight loss by
promoting healthy thyroid function, increasing thermogenesis (burning calories for energy), and
providing greater cortisol control. Cortisol, a stress-induced hormone works by taking glycogen out of
the muscles and liver and converting it into glucose. The pancreas then releases insulin which causes
the body’s cells to take up the glucose. If the body does not use the newly acquired glucose for energy
then it is deposited in the body’s fat tissue. Transitions Thyroid Support Formula helps maintain
normal levels of cortisol to help control stress related fat deposition.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I take TRANSITIONS™ Thyroid Support Formula instead of my prescription?
No. Transitions Thyroid Support Formula is not intended to replace thyroid medication. Transitions
Thyroid Support Formula is a natural thyroid function enhancer. You should contact your doctor
before going off any prescriptions.
Can I take TRANSITIONS™ Thyroid Support Formula with my prescription drugs?
If you are currently taking blood pressure medication, you should not take this product. If you have
peptic ulcers, prostate cancer, liver disease, ulcerative colitis or hyperthyroidism, you should consult
your physician before using this product. If you are taking any other prescription medication or have
any other medical condition, you should consult your physician before using this product. Women who
are pregnant or nursing should not take this product.
Why should I take Thyroid Support Formula when I don’t have a thyroid problem?
Transitions Thyroid Support Formula is designed to promote normal and
