Why Metabolic Balance® works
Your individual nutrition plan balances your personal "body chemistry" with "food chemistry". You will not only eat all the essential and vital nutrients found in fresh wholesome foods, your plan will also concentrate particularly on the nutrients, vitamins and minerals your body needs to re-balance your metabolism.
Metabolic Balance® is 100% natural. There are no prescribed injections, pills, shakes or proprietary foods. Nor, as with some diets, are you required to keep ‘points’ or count calories.
Promoting healthy metabolism
With your individual nutrition plan you supply your body with all the vital and healthy nutrients it needs. Food is not selected according to calorie content or percentage of fat, protein and carbohydrates. The only selection criteria are the effect of the specific foods on your hormonal system.
Therefore, you promote healthy metabolism and natural insulin secretion. With the help of new and simple rules for preparing food and establishing a new dietary regime you achieve long term and on-going weight management and hormonal balance.
Health improvements
You will achieve the transformation and rejuvenation of your body to a healthy and balanced state, particularly in combination with appropriate exercise, which will assist in preventing common ailments in the long-term.
By restoring nutritional balance you recreate your body's natural equilibrium. Simultaneously, you promote a fitter, more energetic you, that has regained control and able to manage the negative effects of the stresses of modern day life. You will find that you sleep better and your physical and psychological well-being will improve. You will feel healthier, happier and more vital it is visible to all! You shed body fat, yet your muscles and connective tissues are protected, which means your skin remains taut and smooth.
By balancing your nutrition, you cause a natural restoration in your body to occur. By restoring nutritional balance you recreate your body’s natural equilibrium.

- The questionnaire and test results are sent to Germany to be analysed and your own individual Metabolic nutritional plan is established.
- At this point you will be contacted to make a second appointment.
- During the 2nd appointment you will receive your personalised Metabolic Balance Programme. This will be your future ‘roadmap’ of nutrition.
- A final 6 week follow-up appointment will enable you to post any questions and help you on your way to become a healthy individual.

4 Easy steps
Phase 1: Preparation Phase
Duration: 2 Days
The Preparation Phase could also be named Detox Phase as it enables your body to do just that. Your body is gently prepared for the dietary changes with light foods and colon cleansing.
Phase 2: Strict Adjustment Phase
Duration: minimum of 14 days (Metabolic adjustment and regulation)
Depending on the initial outset status of your body, this phase is minimally 2 weeks long. It specifically targets your body’s deficiencies and rebalances your body.
Your metabolism adjusts in response to your new nutritional regime and you are also likely to experience a more positive mental outlook. You will begin to feel the benefits and health improvements.
It is necessary to set aside a specific time to enjoy this period and avoid any social challenges. No heavy/ cardiovascular exercise during these 14 days. Instead, enjoy walking in fresh air, deep breathing and gentle movements to aid lymphatic drainage and detoxification.
Phase 3: Relaxed Phase
Duration: Until your goal has been reached
The duration depends on your personal circumstances and your weight from the start of the Programme. Parameters such as your target weight or the amount of weight you wish to lose are taken into consideration during this time.
You continue with the given plan but are allowed to experiment. More freedom can now be enjoyed!
Phase 4: Maintenance Phase
Duration: The rest of your new, healthy life
At this point you have succeeded in optimising your nutrition and metabolism and as a result you have achieved your desired weight and improved health!
This phase is more or less the rest of your life, your healthy future. The ground rules have been set; the foundation for your sustained weight is laid. Integrating the Metabolic Balance® way of life into everyday life such as eating out or cooking for the family comes natural by now.
