How to Reset Your Metabolism
by Kate Save on Mar 02, 2020Weight gain is common not only during the cold winter months, but also in summer with our calendars full of social get togethers and celebrations. No matter what time of the year it is, giving your metabolism a one or two week seasonal reset can have fantastic benefits on your health and wellbeing.
A metabolism reset is the result of a dietary strategy such as a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD). Several studies show that two weeks on a VLCD every quarter can assist with:
- Increased insulin sensitivity
- Stabilising blood sugar levels, and
- Improving blood fat lipid profile
A Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) is a 800-900 calorie program which is low in carbohydrates and designed to induce mild nutritional ketosis. This is a state in which our body switches from using sugar (glucose from carbohydrates) as a primary energy source to using stored body fat. A metabolism reset & VLCD like our Be Rapid Program and Metabolism Reset can be just what you need to either stay on track of your eating into a new month, reset your motivation to eat healthier whole-foods, or to lose a couple of kilos rapidly.
The benefit of losing a couple of kilos rapidly may encourage you to continue on a sustained weight maintenance journey or give you the motivation you need to keep going on a weight loss journey. After using a VLCD diet strategy for a period of two weeks, it can be followed up with maintenance dietary strategies like a low carbohydrate diet based on the science of the CSIRO in combination with a Mediterranean style diet.
Our Be Rapid program is an easy answer to your metabolism reset needs. In two weeks, you can expect to see a 2-5kg loss – after which time we recommend staying on the program for additional 6 weeks, followed by a weight maintenance program. Our Be Lean programs or meal bundles are perfect for this.
