Preparation phase

The preparation phase involves a detoxification and elimination process, and is key in preparing your metabolism for the next stage of the program. Phase 1 lasts for two days.

Strict Adjustment phase

The strict adjustment phase lasts for a minimum of 14 days. During this period, your metabolism will ‘switch on’ and start adjusting toward a more balanced state. This phase lays the foundation for your body’s new biorhythm and biochemistry leading to sustainable changes. You start to feel a renewed energy and increased vitality. You will also lose several kilograms if weight loss is your goal.

You will have the option to remain on this phase until you have reached your desired objective. During this phase your metabolism will slowly start to adjust and become more efficient.

Relaxed Adjustment phase

During this phase you can start to integrate additional foods to your daily meal plan. With your body’s new heightened sense of awareness, you should instinctively feel and know which foods are right for you and which are not.

You may also notice a huge shift in your food preferences, no longer craving foods you previously depended on. You can also now enjoy an occasional ‘treat’ meal or even enjoy a glass of wine. More importantly you will learn how to have a healthy approach to these special occasions.

Maintenance phase

This is the final phase, where you will learn how to make Metabolic Balance, a new way of life. Now you can begin to slowly ease away from the plan, whilst still following basic principles and knowledge/experiences you have acquired during the previous three phases of the programme. In fact you can stay on this phase for the rest of your life.

Most people usually start this phase by week 12, although it depends on your individual goals. You will be feeling and seeing the benefits that the Metabolic Balance® programme has brought on and you will be confident with your eating habits to continue to enjoy this new lifestyle.
