Dr. Frances, as your Metabolic Balance Coach, will support you through the four phases of Metabolic Balance. In your initial consultation, Dr. Frances will outline the program and go through your goals. Using your blood results, body measurements, personal information and your food preferences, your personalized Metabolic Balance plan will be created using our computer program.

No. Our nutritional plans are not available without the support of a certified Coach. We believe a fundamental requirement for your long term success is having the right support to guide you on your  journey.​

Your body needs time and rest for digestion. Any snack would disrupt this metabolic process and lead to familiar cravings. Therefore, we recommend having a five hour break between meals.

Yes, we advise you eat as many foods in your plan as you can as all the foods listed have been identified as being the right foods for you to eat. Your personal nutrition plan is not a coincidence, but results from your blood tests results and medical history information. Your plan is as unique as your fingerprint. The foods selected support your metabolism and provide you with the ingredients that you have been missing so far. You are of course fully in control of what you choose to eat. We often find that many participants find many new favourite foods from their plans that they have not tried before and realize they love.

If you stick to your plan, you will eat the right amounts for you, mindfully and with enjoyment. At the end of every meal you will be nicely full due to the high-energy foods eaten three times a day. You will not be starving! In between meals you drink the right amount of water calculated for you and so you will be feeling clear headed and focused. Many participants report that they start to feel the best they've felt in years. If you are tired in the evening in the first few days of the conversion/detox phase, then allow yourself and your body to rest and simply go to bed earlier. Always talk over how you are feeling with your Coach to ensure that you get the best results from phase 2.

Yes, of course. We take this into account when creating your plan and when specifying quantities. Following Metabolic Balance is an excellent way to learn the right foods for you and to generally improve your energy and quality of life. Talk to your Metabolic Balance Coach about your specific goals.

You start with phase 1, which lasts two days and is the essential preparation for metabolic change. Phase 2 is the strict conversion/ detox and is precisely described in the plan and further explained by your practitioner. Phase 2 lasts a minimum of 14 days, but typically until you have reached your desired weight goal. At this point you move into phase 3 where you will add more foods to your diet. Your Metabolic Balance Coach will also advise you how to do this. The program culminates in phase 4 - the maintenance phase. You can easily maintain phase 4 for a lifetime by continuing to apply the now familiar rules as the best way to nourish yourself. Ongoing support is available from your Coach as you need it. Plan to follow your meal plan for at least 3 months for phase 2 and phase 3.

Your meal plan is so varied that you can plan well in advance and easily organize your daily meals. Be creative - your Metabolic Balance Coach can support you with tips and ideas.

No, as your metabolism adjusts to the way of eating and you have achieved your goals, you move into relaxed phases 3 and 4 to maintain your success. Then only a few basic rules familiar to you apply. Just as many other participants do, you will notice which foods are good for you and which are not. And if you ever it's needed, just go back to your strict detox phase for a few days and you have your goals under control again.

This is particularly important in phase 2 where you should weigh your food exactly. When you have achieved your goals, your Metabolic Balance Coach will discuss with you the best way to relax on the stated quantities.

Vegetarian plans may be generated for those who eat dairy and eggs. Strict vegans cannot participate in Metabolic Balance. If you would like more information about this and the medical background, please read our book "Metabolic Balance - The Metabolism Program" available via Amazon.

Metabolic Balance is not a diet in the traditional sense, but a proven method for people to learn how to eat well for them. Traditional diets tend to lead to the yo-yo effect because of the severe restrictions on calories, fats, or carbohydrates, which in turn quickly leads to food cravings. This doesn't happen with us. Your plan is your plan. It only takes your laboratory values, your metabolism and your individual nutritional situation into account and provides you with all the necessary calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates. You will learn which foods are good for you and which are not. The result of this? It is up to you whether you achieve your goal and whether you continue to implement the knowledge you have learned leading to long term success. However your individual nutritional plan is your very personal road map for lasting success.

You don't have to worry about protecting your data. We only use your data to create your individual nutrition plan and do not pass it on to third parties. After two years, the following data will be deleted from our system or made unrecognizable.

Absoultely! Dr. Frances offers the Metabolic Balance Program in-person and virtually - either over the phone or video.
