Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS TLS SELECT AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

TLS Select is a customizable, science-based program designed and implemented by your healthcare provider to fit you and your unique lifestyle. Your healthcare provider will help you learn about low-glycemic-impact (GI) eating, body composition, supplementation and education, supplying everything you’ll need to get fit and trim. This comprehensive approach will assist you with achieving your weight management goals and leading a new, healthy lifestyle.

While your healthcare provider will customize TLS Select to meet your unique needs, TLS Select generally starts with four basic components.

FOUR COMPONENTS OF TLS SELECT1. LOW-GLYCEMIC-IMPACT EATING: Eating low-GI foods assists your body with fat loss and supports your blood sugar and

metabolism.2. BODY COMPOSITION: TLS Select emphasizes fat loss and lean muscle maintenance, because muscle dictates metabolism.3. EDUCATION: Your healthcare provider will teach you how to get weight loss results with numerous resources and tools.4. SUPPLEMENTATION: Our scientifically developed supplements address different processes in your body to accelerate your

weight loss.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

A custom weight loss plan will be created by your healthcare provider based on your current health goals, lifestyle, diet, activity level and behavior. This comprehensive, science-based approach will provide a long-term solution for healthy and sustainable weight loss. Your healthcare provider may also recommend supplementation and a nutraMetrix® Gene SNP DNA Analysis* to better determine how your genes interact with weight loss for a more custom fit.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?Once you’ve decided to participate in TLS Select™, schedule a weight loss consultation with your healthcare provider to get started. During this appointment, they will provide you with additional information about the program. A Menu Plan that suits your weight loss goals and lifestyle will also be chosen during this meeting.

WHAT IS LOW-GI EATING?Low-glycemic-index eating focuses on how different foods affect your blood sugar level. The Glycemic Index measures foods on a 100-point scale. Low-GI foods produce little or no fluctuations in our blood sugar or insulin levels. This is important because when your blood sugar rises quickly, your body increases insulin production, forcing the body into fat accumulation and storage. Controlling the GI of your foods promotes normal blood-sugar levels and enables the body to stay in a fat-burning mode.

AS I LOSE WEIGHT, WILL THE ELASTICITY IN MY SKIN ADAPT TO THE WEIGHT LOSS?When you lose weight as body fat, you maintain the muscle, and over time through exercise most people find that their excess skin will adapt to their new body and tighten up. It is important that you exercise to improve your muscle mass and tone; this helps target body fat loss as well.

IN CONSIDERING TLS SELECT, HOW IMPORTANT IS CALORIE COUNTING?The TLS Select Weight Loss Solution is based on low-glycemic-index eating and portion control, not calorie counting. The TLS Select Weight Loss Solution is based around eating the right kinds of foods to help nourish and fuel your body. Counting calories is not a priority when you follow the TLS Select Weight Loss Solution.

DO I HAVE TO EXERCISE TO SEE RESULTS?Exercise and healthy eating are essential for optimal results. As with most weight loss programs, exercise should be combined with a healthy diet. This is the best proven method for weight loss.

CAN I TAKE SUPPLEMENTS INSTEAD OF MY PRESCRIPTION?No. Supplements are not intended to replace any prescription medication. You should speak to your doctor before changing or discontinuing the use of any prescription medications.*

FREQUENTLYASKEDQUESTIONS

*You should consult your physician before beginning this or any other weight management or exercise program. This program is provided, managed and supervised by your healthcare provider.

Years of unhealthy eating, lack of exercise and attempting unhealthy diets can all cause severe damage to your metabolism. Supporting your body with the right nutrients through targeted supplementation can provide great benefits and enhance your results.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that many Americans get less than 70% of the essential vitamins and minerals required to meet the Recommended Daily Intakes. As a result, health professionals are looking for ways to help improve health outcomes as part of patient population management initiatives. Supplements can supply the vital nutrients that are sometimes lacking in our diets, and this can assist with improving and maintaining health. When patients implement a wellness lifestyle, their overall healthcare costs may decrease, and their quality of life may increase.

To enhance weight loss, and to provide additional nutritional support, your healthcare provider may recommend supplementation to help you meet your unique weight loss goals. Your healthcare provider may also suggest supplements to target different weight loss struggles, prevent plateaus and help you adjust to your new lifestyle.
