Metabolic Balance Diet and PCOS

Did you know that the Metabolic Balance programme is great for any women suffering from PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)?

One of the main problems of PCOS is a disordered insulin metabolism, which makes it easier to gain weight and more difficult to lose it.  Other issues include hirsutism (increase facial hair) and sometimes poor skin condition or acne.  Becaue the Metabolic Balance programme helps balance the biochemistry behind your metabolism, it can be a great help for many of these not so pleasant side effects of having PCOS.  So not only will you find it much easier to control your weight, but you could also get support for the excess facial hair and get a better looking skin.

If you suffer from PCOS and would like to improve your hormonal health, perhaps to conceive, or the feel better and lose weight, do get in touch with us and book in for a free initial consultation.

Metabolic Balance Diet for Weight Loss

I believe dieting isn’t just about weight loss. It’s also about creating changes in your eating habits that increase your general wellbeing, both body and mind. Weight loss should lead to healthier improved physical and mental performance as well as emotional balance.

To achieve this you need a weight loss programme that gives your body all the nutrients it needs. Metabolic Balance diet programme is exactly that. It’s a personalised nutrition programme created uniquely for you, using an extensive set of laboratory value from your blood analysis.

The plan includes meals that contain foods that promote a regulated insulin response, which in turn re-balances hormones and subsequently results in a more healthy and balanced metabolism. The balanced metabolism means that you have less cravings, have steadier energy levels and generally feel better in addition to losing weight.
