Well...its been ten days for Arnel and I on the Healthy-Active metabolic program. It's been an incredible kick in the you-know-what. It has forced us to eat with intention because food preparation is vital to success on this program. Essentially, the program is based on 40 blood markers (6 vials of blood!). Each person has unique metabolic results, and differing foods are chosen to specifically maximize metabolism and harmonize hormones, so really the program is for anyone. Arnel, for instance, has no weight to lose, in fact he wants to gain 10 pounds, so his program is modified so that he still receives the benefits of harmonizing his insulin and cortisol, while not using any weight.
I know there are a lot of you on the program, so we've been taking pictures of our actual meals to help give you all ideas. Thank God Arnel is a culinary genius! The variety of food allowed is great, and the portions are generous.
So, how do we feel? Awesome! I have lost 6 pounds and both of us have renewed energy and vitality. It requires a lot of dedication, but worth it! It took me a full week for my system to adjust to my new metabolism, but I am already seeing and feeling the benefits. Rather than a diet, I truly feel we are establishing some wonderful dietary principles for a long time to come.
