Hear What Our Clients Have to Say
My metabolic balance journey was the best decision I have ever made. When I got put on to this diet, it took a lot of dedication and being strict with my cravings. I’m 20 years old, I had depression and mental health issues, going on this diet made me realize that simply the food that you ingest makes a huge difference in your lifestyle. I have been doing this diet for over 3 months now and I feel absolutely amazing. I'm down 40lbs+ just by changing the way I eat and what I put into my body. I sleep better, my mood is better, I barley have any cravings for the junk foods I used to be obsessed with, I wake up with more energy, my depression and mental health is back to normal state and I’m so grateful I didn’t have to take any medication for it. I’m always thinking positive and overall feel so much better about myself and how I look and even how I think. Even now when I have my cheat day and I eat out, it upsets my stomach so much that I don’t even try to eat out anymore and would rather make something healthy and nutritious at home. If you are ready to change your life around and bring a new lifestyle in, this metabolic balance program is the best path to go down.

The Metabolic Balance® nutritional program was life changing for me! For years, and I mean years, I have been trying to get my health back. My hormones, menopausal symptoms, hot flashes, blood pressure, stresses in life, were all taking their toll on my body. I had basically given up. After trying the Keto diet, staying away from carbs, doing the gluten-free diet, exercising to no end, and so on and so on, I had had enough. This new system, and proper coaching, is truly unbelievable! This whole scientific approach that is catered to my body, my bloodwork, my hormones, was the perfect fit. I did not have to go crazy with fad dieting, or any strenuous exercising. I just changed my eating habits and am eating the foods that are right for me. I eat the proper foods for me, not for my blood type but what my body requires. And I was able to shed the weight. I couldn't believe that I could do this without putting my body through torture. This is truly a lifestyle change and the proper way of eating. I love that my body does not have to suffer in any way nor am I lacking in any nutrients. I feel great! I look like myself again. I never thought that this would ever happen. I felt so lost and alone and hopeless. Thank you so much to my Coach Liisi for your support, your understanding and for getting me my life back!

As Metabolic Balance® Coach, one of the criteria to become a Coach is that you have to complete your own bloodwork and follow the program’s meal plan based on the 4 phases. As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, I felt that my eating habits and lifestyles and beliefs where right, but when I started my very own nutritional plan and following the 8 Simple Rules, I learned lots of new approaches. Personally, I always thought that people needed to have 3 meals a day, plus 2 snacks in between. In fact, according to Metabolic Balance® plan, this is not the right approach at all! The old way of thinking actually keeps your insulin and blood sugar levels elevated all day long, which leads to a fat storing mode and not a fat burning mode. I wasn’t actually aiming to lose much weight, but to my surprise after just 2 weeks I lost 16lb! Most of all, I gained lots of energy, better memory and when I went clothes shopping, any outfit just fell right off me in my old size. I am a believer! "Walk the walk, talk the talk “. Now when I register my clients to do the Metabolic Balance® program, I can understand their struggles and guide my clients through all of the 4 Phases of the Metabolic Balance® plan.
Liisi Mrkonjic
As with most women of “a certain age”, my body started preventing me from getting to my weight-loss goals that were previously easy to achieve and maintain. I tried extensive exercise and diet after diet with little or no success. Then, I found out about the Metabolic Balance® program through Liisi. We often talk a lot about nutrition and healthy eating, so when she became a coach I decided to give it a try. Knowing that this program is based on your actual bloodwork results and that it is not a one-size-fits-all approach made all the difference. To my great joy and surprise, it worked! Something finally worked! In just 3 short weeks, I’m down a full pants size and wearing a pair of pants that I haven’t been able to wear, and comfortably I might add, in 3 years! My skin looks better, and I’m not feeling tired, deprived, hungry or dehydrated. I’ve been so pleased with my results that I’ve now joined Liisi in our quest to help other people reset their bodies and feel great! This is not a diet. This is a healthy lifestyle that will be easy to maintain for the rest of my life following the 8 Simple Rules laid out in the plan from day one. Weight loss is simply a side-effect. Whether you want to lose weight, gain weight or maintain your current weight and simply look and feel better with a few changes that are easy to follow, this is the plan you really want to look into further. I’m so glad I did. I’ve gone from being a Metabolic Wellness Canada client to becoming a Metabolic Balance® coach, and am well on my way to becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist!

I have worked with Liisi since June 2021 and I have nothing but POSITIVE feedback. Amazing program, great experience. Liisi is professional, knowledgeable, extremely thorough and kind. She kept me accountable during the last 4 months. She is also an amazing listener and always comes up with ways to make it easier to achieve your goals! Metabolic Balance program makes perfect sense, it’s simple and with a coach like Liisi, it is actually easy. Thank you for everything, Liisi!
Jana Kridlova
My family doctor told me that I had high cholesterol and prescribed statin pills. When I told my friend about this, she introduced me to Metabolic Balance. Me and my husband met with Liisi Mrkonjic and she had us both on this metabolic balance meal plan. Within a month being on this meal plan, I lost about 7 lbs. and my husband lost about 13 to 15 lbs. My family doctor had me take another blood test and she was very impressed with the results. My cholesterol has come down and she even told me that I can stop taking my cholesterol pills. I am very happy with this plan and it’s a life style for me and my husband now. Thank you Liisi Mrkonjic for all your help and support.
Paramjit Singh
We are a couple from Estonia who decided to join the Metabolic Balance® Program. Starting the program was quite easy. You don’t even need to meet your Metabolic Balance® Coach in person, because everything is set up via email and Zoom calls. You can live anywhere in the world and be a Metabolic Balance® client with our Coach Liisi. It took only 4 days for us to have our bloodwork analyzed and receive our unique-to-us meal plans in order to start the program. The meal plans are designed specifically according to our individual blood work results. In just two short weeks, I was able to lose 8kg or 18 pounds! And, my husband was able to lose 4kg or 9 pounds! My skin feels beautiful and smooth, and we are both sleeping really well at night. We have both have been on the program for 1 month now, and find it quite easy to follow. We don’t feel hungry and feel fulfilled. We were little hesitant to get two meal plans, thinking that we have been together for 10 years and always eating the same food. We certainly did not think that our meal plans would have so much difference! To both of our surprise, the meal plans where totally different. I was not allowed to have any bread for example, but my husband could have 4 servings. And, my food list had only a few fruits while my husband’s had so much more. The meal plan is really easy to follow, because all the allowed foods are listed for you, and our Coach keeps in touch with us in weekly bases. She even provided us with a Metabolic Balance® friendly PDF recipe book, where we can choose recipes to follow! She also provided us with additional meal ideas that were suitable for us. In such a short period of time, my husband and I feel really good by following our personal meal plans and have both lost weight. We also have more energy and less temptation for forbidden foods. We would highly recommend others to get your own personalized meal plan that can really make the difference! We both highly recommend our Metabolic Balance® coach, Liisi. With her food therapist background in holistic nutrition, she maintains our personal world view with regards to having a healthy diet and lifestyle, and has offered a lot of new and exciting knowledge!

I LOVE Liisi! She is so supportive and such a great person. I suffered from mental health during the pandemic… putting bad food in my body and coping in the wrong ways! Starting my metabolic journey has been one of the best things I have done for myself! I am a strong believer beauty comes from within and since I have been fueling my body with nutritious food instead of “ Diet food”, it has completely transformed my mental health, skin, confidence and so so much more! I truly recommend if you want to change your lifestyle for the better!
Jennifer Hodgins
After I turned 50 years old, changes started to happen to my body and mind. Weight gain, disrupted sleep, mood swings, hot flashes in the middle of winter, foggy mind and forgetfulness, bloated all the time I felt like a "sausage" in my clothes. When I looked in the mirror or saw resent pictures of myself, I could not believe it was me. I was desperate. I tried many diets I mean MANY, no carbs, I even followed the book "Eat for your blood type", etc. Bought new bikes, walked, exercised, even joined the gym. My weight was not budging, it just went up, up and up. I reached 167 lbs., I am 56-year-old women, 5.3". My weight used to be 135 lbs. and I felt good. I was sick and tired of being overweight for the last 6 years of my life. Then I saw a girlfriend who I knew before, I could not believe how healthy and great she looked since I saw her, 6 months before. A few ladies and I sat her down and wanted to know how she achieved the amazing change. She looked healthy, fit and most of all happy. Her secret was Metabolic Balance Nutritional Program that changed her life....she said. She connected me, with Metabolic Balance Coach Liisi Mrkonjic, who is Registered Holistic Nutritionist. After my initial meeting with Liisi, I did my blood work (which is required by the program), it took less than a week to receive my personal meal plan from Germany. I started my program with my Coach Liisi on December 3rd, 2020, just before Christmas, how crazy was I !!!! Today, it marks 1 month since I started, Yes, after Christmas and New Year's Eve, I have managed without feeling deprived and no exercise. Not only have I lost 17 lbs., I am sleeping every night, my hot flashes that I have had past 10 years, are gone, I'm not bloated anymore, I don't feel like a "sausage" anymore. I am recognizing the person I see in the mirror. My husband has even noticed the many changes, he is jealous how much I sleep. He even noticed how easy it was for me to be on the program. I want people that are struggling with their health and trying to lose weight, to know that this is a great program. Liisi your Metabolic Balance Coach will be there for your every step of the way, from start to finish. Thank you Liisi for the Love and Support.
Benita DeFrancesco
It has been a blessing finding Liisi and the metabolic balance program. Liisi became a trusted friend that knew exactly what I needed to succeed. She is always a text message or a phone call away, always encouraging and supporting. The program works and I have lost 42 pounds now and counting. So lucky to have found Liisi and Metabolic Balance.
Iris
My Liiska what an amazing friend and coach. When Liiska told me about this program I was very skeptical. I'm the person that starts a diet and never follows thru. But she convinced me to try this program and I have to say that it is very straight forward and so easy to follow. The information on what foods are most beneficial for me to eat according to my bloodwork is very informative and so satisfying. I have been fighting high cholesterol and inflammation in my body and find that this diet has helped me tremendously. I FEEL great!! I LOOK great!! I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who struggles to improve diet and health issues. This program is for anyone who is ready to make a huge change in their lifestyle. I owe Liiska so many thanks for all her support and she keeps on inspiring me to do better at all times. She motivates me to do my best. Always helping with food suggestions.
Rosalia Castro
Liisi's coaching style is as unique as she is. I have had numerous coaches over the years try to help me lose weight/change my eating habits etc. but none like Liisi !! Liisi goes over and above in her caring for her clients. She asks questions not just about your food choices but how your feeling emotionally and physically. Liisi is available to me pretty much 24/7. Her knowledge about the body and digestion is so thorough that she can tell me in advance about what's going to happen and how I'm going to feel. When I was struggling with a food choice on my plan (i.e. Goat Yogurt), she worked with me to find realistic options that would help me stick to the diet. Liisi checks in with me regularly and I feel like she is on this journey with me so I'm never alone.
Deborah May-Forbes
Look no further!! Liisi is truly an expert, who doesn’t stop at symptom management and selling a program. Liisi is a professional Practitioner and friend, she lives the lifestyle, shares her experiences and recipes, and is truly invested in educating and the well-being of her clients. As Liisi works with you, to understand your needs, she motivates and supports you along the way. This program and Liisi's coaching capabilities and experience has healed me inside and out. We all have different reasons and issues but what I can guarantee, is that Liisi is with you every step of the way helping you achieve and maintain your goals. I highly recommend Liisi and this program to everyone.
Sarina Seppieri
I just wanted to say thank you for all your coaching on my weight loss journey in Metabolic Balance. When we talk, you have given me great suggestions on food prep, food products and recipes. I have lost 15 pounds with ease, thanks to all your words of wisdom and reassuring me that this time I will really lose the weight unlike other diet plans, this is a life style change. I have 25 pounds left to go, and I feel confident that I will continue to loose weight. I really like all the ideas you have suggested to me. I’m glad that I can always ask you a question and you always get me the answer. I also enjoy the Treat Meal of the week. As you say to me, at the end of the day we all have to live. I look forward to our next phone call, I miss our in person visits but better safe in today’s health crisis.

The most important questions are answered here from the official Metabolic Balance® website. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please contact us.
How is the Metabolic Balance® scheduled?
Our coach, Liisi Mrkonjic, R.H.N. will support you through each of the 4 Phases of the program. At your first appointment, your coach will take notes on your medical history and will request a blood test. Your coach will provide everything you require to do this. All blood test results and data are compiled and analyzed at the Metabolic Balance® Institute where your personal nutrition plan will be created. Your coach will give you a copy of your plan and will fully explain all the stages necessary for you to reach your goal. Your coach will guide and support you the whole way through the program and will always be on hand to answer your questions.
What are the 4 phases and how long does each phase last?
There are 4 phases:
Phase 1 – The preparation phase – starts the detoxification process and is key in preparing your metabolism for the next stage of the program. Phase 1 lasts for two days.
Phase 2 – The strict adjustment phase lasts for a minimum of 14 days. You will have the option to remain on this phase until you have reached your desired goal. During this phase your metabolism will slowly start to adjust and become more efficient.
Phase 3 – The relaxed adjustment phase. During this phase you can begin to bring in additional foods to your daily meal plan. With your body’s new heightened sense of awareness, you should instinctively know which foods are right for you. You can also now enjoy the 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. Your coach will continue to support you and monitor your progress during this phase.
Phase 4 – The maintenance phase is the final phase. Participants can stay on this phase for the rest of their lives by following the already familiar principles. Simply follow the 8 Simple Rules and continue eating a whole foods diet.
Can I participate in the Metabolic Balance® program without a coach?
No. The success of Metabolic Balance® is dependent on the supervision of a qualified coach. Coaching has been shown to greatly improve your chances of success. All our coaches have the specialist knowledge and experience to help you overcome obstacles and will prove vital in reaching your goal.
I am on the move all day. Can I still participate?
You nutrition plan with Metabolic Balance® is extremely versatile. With the help of your coach, you can can easily plan your meals in advance. Your coach will give you tips on being creative and show you how to take meals with you on busy days. In addition you will learn how to apply the Metabolic Balance® principles when eating out at restaurants as well as at home.
Why are there no snacks on Metabolic Balance®?
It is important to leave gaps between meals and to avoid snacking. Your body needs this time not only to fully digest the last meal, but also to rest and to repair. During this time the body is able to move into a ‘fat-burning’ metabolism. Eating between meals disrupts metabolism, as well as the normal fat-storage and fat-burning process.
Do I need to continue eating the way I did during the strict adjustment phase?
No. Once your metabolism has adjusted and you have reached your goal, you will move onto the relaxed and then the maintenance phase. You will be able to maintain your success by following most of the 8 principles you have learned. Rest assured, like most of the other participants, you will notice which foods suit you best. If at any point you find yourself relapsing, you can simply return to the strict adjustment phase to get yourself back on track again.
Do I have to eat all the foods listed in my nutrition plan?
Yes, especially during phase two. Your personal nutrition plan is not a product of chance, but has been been created using your blood values and medical history. This makes your plan as unique as your fingerprint. The selected foods support your metabolism and provide you with the nutrients that were previously lacking in your diet. Enjoy trying new foods and being creative with the foods on your plan. Your coach can help you with recipe ideas. In phases 3 and 4 you are actually encouraged to bring in new foods that were not on your food list.
Do I need to weigh everything out exactly?
Yes, especially during phase 2 where you should follow your plan to the letter. Once you have reached your goal, you can discuss how to relax the amounts with your Metabolic Balance® coach.
Will I feel hungry on the strict phase and could it affect my energy levels?
Although you may be eating less food than before, you should still feel satisfied at the end of each meal. This is because the foods you are eating are nutrient dense, so that you are still getting all the nutrients your body needs. It is important to drink sufficient water in between meals to keep you feeling energized. If you feel tired during the first few days of strict adjustment phase, give yourself and your body time to rest, drink plenty of water and make sure you get enough sleep.
