8 Week Hormone Balancing Meal Plan

This program is perfect for anyone struggling to get lean due to either a slow metabolism or hormonal imbalances. Hormonal factors can interfere with your ability to lose weight. Excess estrogen has an impact on our lower body, especially cellulite in thighs and glutes in women.

This program is recommended for anyone that has hit a weight loss plateau or is caught in the cycle of low calorie, low carbohydrate eating.

This plan will also be helpful for those that struggle with low energy, fat loss, bloating, hormonal issues and digestive issues.

The long term benefits will be worth it when time is spent balancing hormones to improve health and metabolism. This program is designed to retrain the body to eat and metabolise more food without putting on weight. Effortless fat loss will result once the body has been primed. Remember fat loss favours a fast metabolism and the best results are achieved when fat loss is supported and rather than forced.

You are likely to lose body-fat whilst eating this plan as metabolism is increasing, and your body is no longer under stress from out of balanced hormones.

Hormonal balance is both complex and multi-dimensional. Whilst there is no one simple answer, Pro-Metabolic nutrition based on the research of endocrinologists, is a scenically, results-proven strategy. Lifestyle factors, environmental factors, sleep, sunlight and skincare regimes all have an impact upon hormonal balance, but I find time and time again, the right nutrition is very often is the main piece of the puzzle.

The symptoms associated with excess estrogen are:

• Reduced metabolic rate and reduced fat burning despite exercise and low calorie diets.
• Weight that is gained easily.
• Difficulty losing fat from thighs and glutes.
• Cellulite.
• Reduced energy and feeling of fatigue.
• Waking and not feeling refreshed.
• Bloating.
• Food intolerances such as dairy and gluten.
• Cravings for sweet food and carbohydrates.
• Increase pigmentation of skin.
• Decrease elasticity of skin.
• Lower body temperature.
• Increased risk to some cancers.
• Impaired learning ability.
• Increased edema and bloating.
• Energy slumps including fatigue.
• Cyclic insomnia.
• Highly emotional mood swings.
• Depression and anxiety and just feeling blah.
• Formation of varicose veins.
• PMS, headaches and irregular menstrual cycles.

Each plan is divided into 6 meals - breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner and pre-bed snack. There are 2 options for each meal - one simple option and one recipe. The meals are entirely different each week. Best results are achieved when meals are eaten regularly throughout the day. I recommend combining a snack with a main meal when 6 meals cannot be achieved. The meals can be eaten in any order.

Examples of some of the meals and foods on the nutrition plans are as follows:

• Seafood, white rice, coconut oil and ripe tropical fruit.
• Pot set Greek yoghurt with cinnamon stewed apples or pears.
• Cheesy eggs on sourdough with pulp-free orange juice.
• Grass-fed beef with white potatoes, butter, pulp-free orange juice and gelatin.
• Fruit smoothie made of frozen tropical fruit, lite milk, gelatin and egg.
• European hard cheese with ripe tropical fruit.
• Fruit, dates, dark chocolate and cheese.
• Prawns and ripe tropical fruit.
• Grated carrot salad, with coconut oil and raisins.

My goal is to heal and improve your metabolism so that you can get lean WITHOUT CARDIO. In fact, the more damaged your metabolism is the more cardio will work AGAINST you. Cardio is catabolic, increases cortisol and downregulates metabolic rate. It is the number one reason so many people end up with metabolic and hormonal issues and sand weight loss plates in the first place.

The higher your current metabolic set point the more effective nutrition alone will be to get you lean. I prefer minimal to no cardio to achieve the greatest results. When calories are low or your metabolism is slow you may need to do just a little. These plans will outline whether cardio is recommend each week or not. I strongly advise that cardio is gradually reduced to illustrate how a Pro-Metabolic approach works on its own. In some instances, a few 35-40 min walks may be recommended in just in the last 2-3 weeks of the Burn Phase program.

Please be aware that all of the Pro-Metabolic meal plans contain dairy in the form of cheese, milk, yoghurt and in some cases natural icecream. Many lactose-intolerant clients find they do not experience issues with quality hard European cheese, as there is no lactase. I would recommend replacing cow’s milk or yoghurt with either a lactose-free product or the equivalent coconut milk option and coconut-based yoghurt.

If you experience more chronic food intolerances, please note these are not personalised plans and you may get better results with a personalised custom nutrition plan. I get phenomenal results with custom plans as I can design your nutrition specifically for you to suit your needs, your goals, your metabolism, your health, your likes, dislikes and lifestyle

Pro-Metabolic Nutrition is different from any traditional weight loss plan. You will be eating a unique combination of Pro-Thyroid food to increase metabolism and balance hormones. A fast metabolism will allow you to burn fat easier and quicker, add good quality muscle, sleep better and look better. Your skin and hair will improve, your hormones will be balanced, your mood stable and you will not experience PMS, bloating, cravings, inflammation or digestive issues.

Fat loss favours a fast metabolism.
MORE Fat Loss. MORE Energy. MORE Food. MORE Balance.

Traditional weight-loss diets may work by low calories dieting, starving, over-exercising or stressing your body. This traditional approach works until it stops working and has a huge cost to your health and metabolism. Pro-Metabolic Nutrition is about losing fat healthily and easily by increasing the rate at which your body burns energy.

This plan will also train your body to eat MORE of the right food, so in Phase 1 each week your calories will gradually increase. Let the results speak for themselves. As metabolic rate and health improve, so does fat loss. When the body is not stressed, not deprived and is not starving, then it no longer has to stay in survival mode where it holds onto all calories as stored body fat.

Traditional diets cut carbohydrates and restrict natural sugars. Pro-Metabolic Nutrition ensures that the right carbohydrates are used as your primary energy source. Natural simple sugars are one of the best ways to increase thyroid hormone conversions. All our meal plans include simple sugars such as pulp-free orange juice, ripe tropical fruit and raw honey.

As you will hear me often say… fat loss favours a fast metabolism.

The ProMetabolic Life Meal Plan programs are downloadable online programs that will be emailed to you immediately upon purchase. A hardbound copy of the meal plan manual can be posted for an additional postage fee.

The Meal plans programs include:

• Your 12-program overview and notes about what to expect.
• A new meal plan for each week of the program. Each week’s plan has two meal options for each meal – a simple, easy to prepare option and an option with an accompanying recipe for those who love to cook. Calories are adjusted strategically each week progressing through the program.
• ProMetabolic Life's Pro-Metabolic program notes. I teach you about the thyroid gland and metabolism from Dr. Peat’s research. The notes cover how to up-regulate metabolism, improve lifestyle, identify hormonal factors that impact fat loss and outline the unique Pro-thyroid specific food and nutrients that positively influence metabolism, fat loss and hormonal balance.
• Food selection guide. This includes food swap suggestions. A table of pro-thyroid food (the food to enjoy) and a table of anti-thyroid food (the foods to be avoided.)
• A simple test you can do at home to measure your thyroid gland functioning. You will be provided with information on how to do this and how the results are interpreted.
• The ProMetabolic Life Progress Review Sheets. This is the actual form that I use with my athletes and personal nutrition clients to monitor and assess progress. I encourage you to complete this when you commence your plan and then again every week so you can track and monitor your progress.

The ProMetabolic Life Meal Plans are very detailed ONLINE ONLY meal plan programs.

There is no ongoing support or responses to emails around these plans. All the information you need is provided to achieve success from your online program.

Whilst I am a professional figure athlete, I am also a coach and researcher and this program has been designed with EVERYONE in mind and is not focused on bodybuilders and competitors.

It does not matter if you have never stepped foot inside a gym or if you are a seasoned athlete. Over 20 years of experience I have learnt the art of shedding body fat and weight healthily without sacrificing energy and vitality. I do this using a Pro-Metabolic nutrition approach whilst remaining healthy with metabolism firing. This will work whether you train or not.

I do maintain, however, to create a great looking body requires weight training to chisel and shape your physique and as such, I recommend accompanying this program with a weight training programs suitable to your level.

The nutrition system on its own works if fat loss, improved metabolism, hormonal balance and greater health are your primary goals.

To create a lean, chiseled athletic physique, I recommend a weight training program to accompany your nutrition plan.

As mentioned above Pro-Metabolic nutrition on its own will still help you achieve fat loss and greater health, but to create a tight, chiseled physique then weight training is essential.

Your best option is to purchase the COMPLETE UPGRADE at checkout, for an additional $29.95 you get 2 eBooks AND 3 TRAINING PROGRAMS suitable to your level.

Select either the beginning, intermediate or advanced training plan according to where you are at, print it off, take it with you to the gym, record your results and let the magic begin.

Most people experience results within the first few days and definitely within a week.

Results come in a variety of forms and I want you to remember that great results are not just about a number on the scales. Depending upon how you were eating prior to starting this plan, it is common to initially have more energy, sleep better, feel less anxious or stressed, feel an improved sense of happiness and mood, have greater clarity, focus and be more productive. You are now providing your body with the fuel it needs for energy and you will function on a number of fronts so much better.

It is also common within the first few days to one week, to reduce bloating and improve digestion. Pro-Metabolic nutrition focuses on foods that are easily digestible, to experience less and less of the negative symptoms associated with PMS, be able to train with more intensity and due to the increased carbs, recover better from training.

It is also highly likely that within the first few days you will reduce or totally eliminate any cravings for sweet sugary foods. As Pro-Metabolic nutrition uses simple sugars as an energy source, when you supply your body with what it needs it no longer craves it.

Most people as they transition to a Pro-Metabolic nutrition framework will experience immediate fat loss. This is not always our immediate goal though and on both the Thrive and Burn, and Hormonal Balancing plans, we are working towards increasing metabolic rate, hormonal balance, and overall health and wellbeing. It is very common to eat more, increase metabolism rate and still get leaner during all of these programs.

Some people take several weeks to months to improve basal temperatures.

As this is a hormonally balancing nutrition plan symptoms associated with excess oestrogen dominance will start to improve. This is a gradual process. If you can improve lifestyle factors (stress, sleep, toxic products, reducing chemicals), reduce PUFA’s and improve thyroid gland functioning you will achieve greater success in reducing/eliminating cellulite and achieving leaner legs.

When I committed to changing my lifestyle and adapting to a Pro-Metabolic Nutritional plan – it took me 2 years to totally eliminate ALL cellulite. You will find libido quickly improves along with fertility and reproductive health.

*** If you are not getting the results you desire, please contact me and schedule a review.

This plan is based upon human physiology and the human endocrine systems and as such it works for everyone. Sometimes we just need to tweak or adjust or work on a few things which I would love to help you identify.

As with everything, the more you learn how food impacts your health, metabolism, hormones and body the faster you will spearhead your results.

I encourage you to constantly learn. I have done the research for you, and written several comprehensive eBooks covering the nutrition, the science, the strategies, the mindset, the training, and backing this up with the research on how this impacts hormones, health and body composition. Creating great looking, healthy, balanced bodies is my business.

If you purchase the COMPLETE UPGRADE for only $29.95 with the meal plan of your choice, you will receive two eBooks along with three training plans. Learning about Pro-Metabolic nutrition, improving your mindset will help set the scene for your ultimate success.

You can also purchase these eBooks separately.

PROMETABOLIC LIFE EXCLUSIVE MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM:

I also encourage you to join my new exclusive membership program (from only $7.95 a week – a dollar a day) where you will receive information from me every day to help you learn, understand and know what to do to apply this life-changing research into your daily routines and food choices. You can choose coaching options with me depending on which membership level you purchase. I will become your daily coach, teaching, motivating and mentoring you to achieve your greatest success with your body, mind, hormones, health, and metabolism.

I generally do not recommend any supplements apart from high-quality Hydrolysed Gelatin.

I recommend everyone purchase this as an integral component for the Pro-Metabolic nutrition plan.

Find ProMetaoblic Life Gelatin here.

Gelatin is a collagen protein derived from beef hide or pork skin and bone. Unlike protein from pure muscle meat, it contains none of the inflammatory, thyroid suppressing amino acids tryptophan or cysteine. The main amino acids in gelatin are glycine and proline, which are protective, detoxifying, stress-reducing, and pro-thyroid. The balance of amino acids in our body significantly impacts thyroid health (metabolism), inflammation, degeneration, hormonal balance and aging. Gelatin is recommended to take with all meals containing animal muscle protein.

Your Pro-Metabolic nutrition meal plans specify gelatin with every meal with muscle meat as a large component of the nutritional framework.

I highly recommend you purchase your hydrolysate Gelatin in advance in preparation to start your Pro-Metabolic meal plan. I recommend Hydrolysate Beef Gelatin.

As this is an online program, you will immediately receive the meal plans and associated program notes to download. This is not a physical product that you can return; therefore I'm sorry but we do not offer money back.

Can I purchase the meal plans as a hard copy bound manual?

Absolutely. There is an option at checkout to purchase the meal plans as a bound manual, fill in your address details and I will post it to you. $39.95 additional including postage.
