Your individualized metabolic balance® meal plan takes into account how enough food you need to meet your metabolic rate.
It is interesting that different clients have different reactions to the portions on their plan. Some think the portions are satisfying. Others feel they are eating more than they have usually been eating. While others insist they are not getting enough food and they feel hungry.
IS IT HUNGER?
How much food is enough food for a meal? If the amount of food given satisfies the biological need for your body in a nutritionally balanced way, then why are you hungry? It is time to explore what you are really hungry for. This is where metabolic balance® can help participants recognize and overcome emotional eating and find strategies to cope and heal.
Changing behavior is not easy and there are many techniques available to help people through it. Once recognized, steps can be taken to create different behavior patterns.
ONE HELPFUL TIP TO OVERCOME EMOTIONAL EATING
One client offers her strategy. I think it is a good one. I am so grateful she is willing to share.
“When I actually look at my food & really take a minute & see the amount…intuitively it looks like the appropriate quantity of food for me. When I tune into that, & set the emotional eating component aside for a moment (the part that wants to rebel or eat more just because); it helps me to better stay within my specified portions.”

WHY CHOOSE METABOLIC BALANCE?
Metabolic balance® is not a standardized diet plan, but rather a holistic approach to putting your body’s metabolism into a healthy balance and reaching your ideal body weight.
Insulin, the pancreatic hormone, plays a central role in this process. It “opens the doors” to our body’s cells, allowing blood sugar to enter and supply the body with energy. Being overweight has a strong effect on the delicate balance between blood sugar and insulin levels and is thus the root of many common illnesses and disorders.
Healthy nutrition, as recommended by metabolic balance®, will stabilize your body’s insulin level, maintain the natural feeling of fullness after a meal and balance your body’s metabolism. The cornerstone of metabolic balance® program is a personalized nutritional “road map” based on your body’s bio-chemistry. If you are interested in finding out more about metabolic balance,®.
