Metabolic balance® is an all-natural healthy eating programme based on real food - no diet pills, magic shakes or calorie counting involved. More than just a weight loss tool, the three-month programme helps rebalance your metabolism and hormones (particularly insulin and cortisol), increase fat burning, reduce inflammation, improve skin condition, and can help improve cholesterol and blood glucose levels. Increased energy and improved mood and sleep are also commonly reported. The award-winning programme was developed by Dr Wolf Funfack MD, a metabolic expert and Endocrinologist in Germany in 2002 and is based on over 20 years of research. Over 500,000 programmes have been successfully completed worldwide.

Phase 1 – the preparation phase is a gentle 2-day detox to prepare you for phase 2
Phase 2 – the strict adjustment phase typically lasts for 14 days. This is the only really strict phase of the plan which you do need to follow to get the full benefit of the plan. Choosing from the foods on your individual food list, you will eat 3 meals each day and avoid snacking. Strenuous exercise is also discouraged during this phase to encourage the body to use fat as its energy source. Some people experience detox symptoms during the first few days, but most find a renewed sense of energy and find the associated weight loss highly motivating. Importantly, the weight lost is generally fat, not water or muscle as is often the case with other food restrictive diets.
Phase 3 – the relaxed adjustment phase which you start when your weight loss targets have been met. You now start to reintroduce extra foods back into your diet. You also get a ‘treat’ meal each week and can enjoy the odd glass of wine. You also reintroduce exercise.
Phase 4 – Maintenance phase usually started around week 12, but can vary depending on your weight goals. The maintenance phase is a life-long phase, based on the principles you have been following over the preceding 12 weeks which you will be able to apply to maintain your ideal weight.

Personalised nutrition makes so much sense. How can mainstream diets promoted for their weight loss potential actually work long term given we are all so unique. Of course if you go on a calorie restricted diet you will lose weight, but unless you are planning on being on a diet forever they rarely show long term benefits. By adjusting the body’s metabolism the Metabolic balance® programme can lead you towards a lifelong pattern of healthier eating and improved health.

• Six consultations - 3 face-to-face and 3 either via Skype or telephone

• Recipe ideas and meal plan suggestions
