Eating the Rainbow – Your health depends on it.
metabolic balance encourages you to eat a variety of foods during your three daily meals so that you are getting the most nutritional value from your daily food consumption.
Adding a variety of foods to your diet offers your body the nutrients it needs to support your body and keeps you from getting bored of your meals.
Below is a breakdown of the foods by colour. Check your metabolic balance plan and see how many colours you have. If you don’t have every colour, you can start experimenting with the food rainbow in phase 3/4. Before you start experimenting with your food, discuss the food rainbow with your metabolic balance coach. Your coach will love helping you find new foods to add to your metabolic balance plan and may even have a recipe or two that you can use.

Salad, Salad and Some More Salad – Infographic with Salad Options All Year Round
I found this infographic and decided to share. This is only for metabolic balancers who are in phase 4 because the food combinations/dressing are not metabolic balance appropriate. You are welcome to use this infographic as inspiration but remember to stick to the metabolic balance rules. If you want to have a bit of fun, you can chat with your metabolic balance coach to see how well you know your metabolic balance rules and what you can eat in your salad based on the suggestions in the infographic below. Life isn’t always on plan so this is good practice for when you head out to the local salad bar for a meal.

Sugar Cravings? Maybe Your Body Is Asking You For Help?

The cravings may mean you are missing something in your diet and need to alter your food choices. Last week, we shared an infographic about food cravings and today, we are offering you the following food suggestions to help you curve the physical craving you may be feeling for sugar.
