In Part 10 of this mini-series, I’m taking you into my experience eating out at a restaurant while following The Metabolic Balance® Program during Phase 2, the most structured part of the metabolic reset.

This episode takes place on Day 10, at a point where I had already lost 10 lbs and could clearly see that what I was doing was working. I was motivated but also very aware that eating out can feel like a major hurdle when you’re trying to stay consistent with your new habits.

In this episode, I share:

  • how I planned ahead before going to the restaurant so I didn’t feel stressed or caught off guard
  • the simple way I navigated the menu to decide what to eat and how to build my meal
  • how I approached portion sizes without measuring, obsessing, or feeling restricted
  • what surprised me most about how easy and natural it actually felt 
  • and the "Plan B" I gave myself to allow permission and flexibility to enjoy the meal without guilt if things didn’t go perfectly.

This episode is for anyone who worries that starting a structured program means they won't be able to enjoy life they way they used to if they want to stay committed to a life-long health transformation strategy.

By the end of this episode my hope is that you will have let go of that fear and limiting belief and are feeling empowered to get started on your own personalized nutrition plan with me by your side :)

From December 15th 2025 to January 4th 2026 I am accepting new clients into The Metabolic Balance Program with a special year-end bonus discount of $300 off the program enrolment fee.
