CHEESES
A surprising number of cheeses are part of the Metabolic Balance® program, from Camembert to pepper jack to goat brie. Cheese on any plan may come from goat, sheep, or cow milk. The type and variety of cheese on any one plan are determined by a person’s chemistry. Remember, a meal plan is only the starting place for your Metabolic Balance® journey. A meal plan has the best foods to help you balance your metabolism. Once balanced, you are expected to enjoy all foods and determine the best for you based on your inner signals.

EGGS
Eggs are important and most plans suggest a surprising number of eggs per week. Eggs are versatile and can be prepared in a variety of ways.

MUSHROOMS (PROTEIN)
Mushrooms are so crucial to our immune system. They can protect us from radiation and help improve Vitamin D levels.
Mushroom In the summer of 2004, mycologist Paul Stamets discovered that the level of vitamin D is freshly picked, indoor-grown shiitake mushrooms rose from 110 IU (international units) to an astonishing 46,000 IU per 100 grams when the mushrooms were placed outdoors in the sun for just six hours with the gills facing up (when the gills were facing down, the level rose to 10,900 IU).
Eating just one gram of sun-treated shiitake – about one-tenth of one mushroom – would give you 460 IU, close to the ATG recommended daily dose of 400 IU and about a quarter of Dr Weil’s recommended 2,000 IU. In his book, Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World, Stamets concluded, “(In) populations where vitamin D is seriously deficient, sun-exposed dried mushrooms can help address a serious health issue.” (source)

SPROUTS
Many people are not familiar with sprouts. They are easy to grow and are full of nutrition. They are a special treat and can be added to any dish. Metabolic Balance used two categories of sprouts in their plans—sprouts as vegetables and sprouts as protein. Either way, they are delicious. It is always best to blanch sprouts before eating.

WHY CHOOSE METABOLIC BALANCE®?
Metabolic Balance® is not a standardised 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 strongly affects 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 stabilise your body’s insulin level, maintain the natural feeling of fullness after a meal and balance your body’s metabolism. The cornerstone of the Metabolic Balance® program is a personalised nutritional “road map” based on your body’s biochemistry.
