How It Works

The Metabolic Balance program involves the following four phases, which you will progress through with the support of your coach:

Phase 1. Preparation

Eliminating processed foods, alcohol, and caffeine and consuming specific, whole foods and plenty of water primes your body for absorption and improved digestion. The meals are intentionally light and simplified to give the digestive system a rest and prepare your body for the structured meal plan of the next phases.

Duration: 2 days

Phase 2. Strict Adjustment

Begin your personalized meal plan. You will focus on eating the specific food combinations and portion sizes as prescribed.

Duration: At least 2 weeks

Phase 3. Relaxed Conversion

Gradually add more variety to your diet by reintroducing foods outside the strict adjustment phase guidelines. To ensure you maintain metabolic balance, you will monitor how your body reacts to each new food. This phase includes the option of having “treat meals.”

Duration: Until you reach your target weight or health goals

Phase 4. Maintenance

You’re ready to take charge of your diet, eat what works for you (based on what you learned in phases 1 through 3), and experiment with new foods.
