Metabolic Balance

The four phases of the Metabolic Weight Loss Programme

1. A blood test is arranged with a qualified registered Phlebotomist. The blood sample is sent away to The Doctor’s Laboratory (Wimpole Street). An individualised plan is produced based on the analysis of 35 laboratory values
2. A 2 day cleanse is implemented, followed by a 14 day personalised eating plan based on your blood test results. This stage is key to hormone balance.
3. A revised plan is presented to continue your weight loss. Additional foods are introduced, including a weekly treat meal and alcohol.
4. A maintenance plan is provided to allow you to achieve a lifelong sustainable lifestyle using the principles of metabolic balance. No more diets!

Research has shown that hormones help to control our appetites, eating habits, metabolic rate and also influence the way we burn and store fat. Hormones can be influenced by:

Puberty, pregnancy, menopause, ageing, stress, medication, giving up smoking, bad eating habits or change of lifestyle.

Some of the hormones that could be to blame if you are battling with your weight are:

The Human Growth Hormone

The Human Growth Hormone (HGH) assists with the metabolic rate. Studies show as we age the production of the HGH slows down.

It is believed that with the Metabolic Balance® programme alone this hormone can be increased, improving the metabolic rate.

Serotonin

Low serotonin levels may contribute towards mood swings, depression, sleeplessness and migraines. Studies show low serotonin levels are one of the triggers for sugar and carbohydrate cravings as well as eating comfort foods.

One of the aims of the Metabolic Weight Loss Programme is to increase the levels of serotonin naturally with foods.

Insulin

If insulin levels are too high, the body may store too much fat and it can become more difficult to lose weight regardless of how much one diets.

The Metabolic Weight Loss Programme uses foods recognised as having a beneficial impact on lowering insulin levels.

Leptin & Ghrelin

These are the hunger and satiety hormones. Leptin signals the feeling of fullness, and Ghrelin signals hunger. Periods of prolonged yo-yo dieting, and faddy low calorie diets can put these out of balance.

Leptin resistance (the ‘never full’ feeling) is becoming as common as insulin resistance. Metabolic Balance® can assist with resetting these hormones.

• Cardio & Cholesterol issues

I have tried so many diets. I am worried that this will be just another diet that I will not be able to follow.

The Metabolic Weight Loss Programme is not a diet, but a step-by-step approach, with the aim of changing the way you are currently eating to the way you need to eat in order to lose and maintain your weight once and for all.

Will I be hungry?

One of the first rules of the programme is not to go hungry. The programme is designed to reduce hunger and cravings wherever possible.

What kind of foods will I be eating?

You will be eating foods from the different food groups that are readily available in supermarkets. There are no diet pills, meal replacements or faddy foods.

If there are foods that I cannot do without and they are not on the programme, will I still be able to do it?

Any part of the programme can be tailored to accommodate specific food needs.

Will I need to exercise?

Exercise isn’t mandatory on the programme. However, we always recommend exercising for health and fitness reasons.

How much weight can I expect to lose in a month?

This very much depends on your profile and how the Metabolic Weight Loss Programme is followed. Factors such as stress, age, medication and one’s own metabolism can affect the rate of weight loss. The expected average weight loss of clients is 7-14lb a month.

Will it be easy to maintain my weight?

The last stage of the programme deals with weight maintenance, providing simple guidelines and tools helping you to maintain your weight. Ongoing support is available as needed throughout this stage.

I live too far away to visit you. Can I still participate in the programme?

Yes! We successfully provide remote support throughout the UK and other countries, eg Europe, America, Australia… Distance is not a problem!

I have a hectic lifestyle. Will I still be able to follow the programme?

People from all walks of life have successfully completed the programme: doctors, dentists, factory workers, pilots, builders, teachers, television personalities, actors, clergy, policemen, athletes, business men and women, magistrates, accountants, lawyers, nurses, housewives etc.

I am always travelling. Would I still be able to follow the programme?

Any part of the programme can be tailored to accommodate you while you are travelling.

I am going on holiday, but don’t want to wait until I get back to start losing weight. Can I do this programme on holiday?

Necessary adjustments can be made to the programme to cater for holidays.

It will be my birthday/Christmas soon and I want to celebrate. Should I wait until the celebrations are over before I start the programme?

Any necessary adjustments can be made for those celebrations. Once the celebrations are finished you simply return to fully following the programme.

I am 70 years old; am I too old to lose weight?

The age range of Metabolic Balance® clients is from 8 to 89 years old. An 84-year-old lady lost 7 and a half stone in one year. Age appears not to be a problem!
