What happens next?

• Your first step as a Metabolic Balance participant is to have a small amount of your blood drawn at a local Labcorp facility.  Thirty-five chemical analyses will be performed on the sample. After your blood tests, your lab results will be returned and your personal nutrition plan will be generated at the Metabolic Balance Institute in Germany. Your Certified Metabolic Balance coach will help you begin your plan and guide you throughout the four phases of your program. 

 How long does the program last?

•  Phase 1 – this preparation phase lasts two days.
•  Phase 2 – the strict adjustment phase - lasts 14 days.
•  Phase 3 – continue to lose weight on Phase 3 until you reach your goal weight.
•  Phase 4 – the maintenance phase. Many participants stay on this phase for the rest of their life. This phase helps you to maintain your weight loss by following a simple set of nutrition rules.

 Can I also participate in the program metabolic balance without coaching?

• Well if you are asking if it is mandatory that you visit a coaching center each week, the answer is no. We work with clients from all over the United States. We are able to "coach" you through the program via personal visit, email and/or phone calls. However, we cannot provide nutritional plans without supervision because the coaching is a significant part of your success. This program begins your lifestyle change at day one of phase 2.  Therefore, you need the education to understand the rules of your new llifestyle.  Your Metabolic Balance coach becomes your helping hand throughout your program. The coach's knowledge of the program and strong moral support will help you to overcome obstacles for a greater success.  We can provide information, motivation, inspiration and accountability.

 I am on the move the whole day. Can I still participate?

• Your meal plan is flexible enough to be incorporated into your daily schedule and allows you to plan ahead. You will have to commit to some changes and your metabolic balance coach will help you find solutions to make the program work for you. By the way, you will receive a recipe list with easy to prepare meals. Your coach will also explain how you can go out to eat while remaining on your program.

 Do participants experience about hunger and cravings?

• It is normal to get moderately hungry right before mealtime; however, most participants report little or no hunger, and no cravings

 Do I have to continue eating as I did in the strict adjustment phase?

• No, after your metabolism has adjusted to your new eating habits and you have reached your goals, you enter the phases 3 and 4. Now you can deviate from the program a little bit while still losing weight and maintaining your weight loss. Many participants start to notice which food items are good for them and which aren't. If you splurge, for instance during the holidays, just go back for a week or two to the strict adjustment phase and you should be back on track.

 Do I have to eat all the foods listed in my nutrition plan?

• Yes, you should. Your scientifically designed personal nutritional plan is a balance of food items, uniquely designed just for you. The selected food items support your metabolism and provide you with the components your body needs. If it is too much food, your coach will help you to make adjustments. In addition, you should simply embrace some new experiences. The recipes will help you to enjoy and become familiar with your plan.

 Do I have to follow the specified amounts exactly?

• It is necessary that you follow all the specified amounts required in your diet, particularly in phase 2. This information directly correlates with your targeted weight. Once you have reached your goals, you can lead a fairly normal life while maintaining your weight.

 Is it possible that I feel hungry in the strict phase?

• If you follow your plan precisely, you should not be hungry. At the end of each meal you should feel full, thanks to the healthy high-energy foods.

I am a vegetarian. Can I participate in the metabolic balance program? 

• Yes, the following types of vegetarians can participate: Lacto-vegetarian, Ovo-vegetarian, Pescatarians, Flexitarian. If you do not eat any animal protein and live solely on fruit, eating vegetables and grains as a strict vegan, unfortunately you cannot participate in the metabolic balance program.

 I have tried everything and only have had short-term success that has not lasted. Will my results be different with Metabolic Balance?

• Metabolic Balance is not a diet in the traditional sense. Your plan is your own individualized plan. The plan is based solely on your individual lab data, metabolism, and nutritional diet. If you follow the program precisely you have a high probability of reaching your weight loss goal. Towards the end of the program you will learn which food items are specifically good for you. This knowledge will give you the power to control your weight. Your phase 4 rules guide you to maintain the weight while enjoying a normal lifestyle. If you gain some weight over the holidays, you can take it off faster than it came on.

 Do you guarantee the program works?

• You have to follow the diet and the instructions that come with it. Success really depends on you following your diet. We will help you by reducing or eliminating hunger and cravings. Once you have decided that Metabolic Balance is right for you, your coach will support you all the way.
