Have you been on many diets and ended back where you started or worse still, even heavier?
Do you struggle to lose weight, even when exercising hard?
Do you love your food but hate exercising?
Are you already experiencing health problems because you are overweight?
Are you sceptical about weight loss programmes?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Metabolic Balance® is worth having a look at.
Metabolic Balance® is taking mainland Europe by storm. Below, Alison Sheldrick describes what it is all about and why it is such a successful weight management solution. Although marketed for weight loss, the same principles can be used to help people gain weight, the healthy way.
What is Metabolic Balance®
Metabolic Balance® is a nutritional programme for weight management and well-being. It is based on more than 25 years of research and development by doctors and nutrition scientists in Germany and it is the most scientific approach to weight loss (or gain) I have ever seen. We are all very different and what is great about Metabolic Balance® is that your programme is built using the results from a comprehensive blood test combined with your health profile and goals to provide your very own personal nutrition plan.
How does it work?
Your personal nutrition plan tells you what to eat and drink, how much and when. It provides you with all the vital nutrients your body needs to balance your own personal metabolism. The foods in your plan are selected for their very specific effects on your hormonal systems rather than on calories or percentage fat, protein and carbohydrate. This supports the health of the metabolism and balances hormones which allows the natural fat burning processes to work more efficiently. The result? With your metabolism working this way, fat starts to be broken down and the weight loss process begins.
Metabolic Balance® participants commonly report increased energy levels, mobility, clarity of thought and mental focus, improved digestion, skin and sleep, and reduction or loss of joint pain (1). Generally, participants feel more confident, say their friends and family comment on how well they look, and that they feel in control of their health (1). An additional benefit is that participants experience that ever so important increased vitality and enjoyment of life, which we are now starting to call the MB high.
What is involved?
Your journey to Metabolic Balance® will follow four clearly defined phases:
Phase 1 consists of an initial preparation phase lasting two days which cleanses and prepares your body for the changes ahead.
Phase 2 lasts for two weeks. Sometimes called the strict phase, it is the time 
when the effects of your personalised nutrition plan begin to take effect. You start to lose weight and notice improvements in your energy levels and wellbeing.
Phase 3 brings a slightly more relaxed approach whilst continuing to support and strengthen your metabolism. During this phase, you will introduce a greater variety of foods and enjoy special treat meals which actually help your body to keep on track towards your goal. Yes, you can actually go out and eat what you want on Metabolic Balance®, within reason of course. Your weight loss continues and the inch loss becomes more apparent. Phase 3 continues until you reach your goal weight.
Finally, Phase 4 is the maintenance phase where you can continue to enjoy all the benefits of Metabolic Balance® indefinitely.
This bespoke 4-stage programme has all the elements for you to succeed in resolving your personal weight issues permanently as well as integrating optimum health and well-being into your life.

Is Metabolic Balance® for you?
Personally, I think most people could benefit from Metabolic Balance® , even if they don’t need to lose weight. It is great to wake feeling refreshed after a good night’s sleep and to have the energy to live a full and satisfying healthy life. You can use Metabolic Balance® to strengthen your metabolism and balance your hormones even if you don’t wish to lose or gain weight. Your goals are always taken into account – this is a truly personalised programme. Metabolic Balance® is for you in particular if you are already suffering from health problems related to being overweight, and if you wish to have renewed energy and feel fit and healthy, regardless of your age!
I am sceptical about anything that sounds too good to be true – aren’t we all? Metabolic Balance® could have been one of those things. However, once I started reading more, I was attracted by the scientific approach and the fact that the nutrition programmes were based on blood test results and the health problems and goals for each participant. I then became intrigued and tried Metabolic Balance® myself. I have to say, the results were truly amazing and so there was no doubt in my mind that Metabolic Balance® was something I wanted to make available to others.
