4-Phase Nutritional Weight Loss Concept
It’s time for you to get balanced
The Metabolic Balance® program is divided into four phases that complement each other:
PHASE 1:
PREPARATION PHASE
The first phase is known as the cleansing or preparation phase, and it lasts two days. In this cleansing phase, you will only eat light food, such as vegetables, fruit, rice or potatoes. When the stomach and intestines have been emptied, the body switches to food that comes from the inside, namely from the fat reserves (keto metabolism). You will not experience any hunger cravings. At the start of phase 1 it is important to drink plenty of water to guarantee sufficient hydration.
PHASE 2:
STRICT CONVERSION PHASE
The body requires time to detoxify (eliminate the poisons) and reset its metabolism in order to regain a healthy balance. The second phase should last at least 14 days. This is called the “strict conversion phase” or “detox phase.” Your diet will contain lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. The alkaline minerals in the diet bind acids, and therefore the acids are eliminated from the body.
PHASE 3:
RELAXED CONVERSION PHASE
Things begin to change for you in Phase 3. In this phase you may stop measuring your food quantity and even try foods that aren’t on your list.
PHASE 4:
MAINTEANCE PHASE
You made it! In Phase 4, your metabolism has changed and you can begin to feel the fruits of your labour. For instance, you notice your weight loss, you sleep better, and your newfound vitality gives you a new sense of confidence. In Phase 4, the goal is to maintain your success for the long-term.
