You should only eat one medium to large apple at a time. Two small apples do not replace one medium or large apple.

There is no problem in breaking up the two meals. For example, have a breadstick and a fruit for breakfast or before going to bed, provided they are deducted from the regular meals. The whole daily ration of two breadsticks or two fruits may not be eaten at the same time, nor can any uneaten item be carried over to be eaten the next day.
The 3.5 ounces of meat must be scrupulously weighed raw after all visible fat has been removed. Use a postage or accurate food scale to weigh your food.
It is important to journal your food intake each day in order to count your calories and log in the food you eat.
No over -the -counter medications should be used without special permission since they could interfere with your weight loss.
The fruit or the breadstick may be eaten between meals instead of with lunch or dinner but not more than four items listed for lunch and dinner may be eaten at one meal.
You should drink a minimum of half your body weight in ounces of recommended fluids. Example: If you weigh 140 lbs. drink 70 oz. of recommended fluids daily. Many clients are afraid to drink so much fluid because they fear that this may make them retain more water. This is a wrong notion as the body is more inclined to store water when the intake falls below its normal requirements.
Approved fluids are water, coffee, tea, naturally sweetened seltzers and lemonade made with water, squeezed lemon and sweetened with Stevia only.
No oil, Pam®, butter or dressing is permitted during Steps 2 and 3.
You may season any food with the juice of one lemon daily, white or black pepper, sea salt, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, Braggs® Amino Acids, Old Bay Seasoning and marjoram.
The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for any purpose per day.
Weigh yourself every day. Many people think that it is unnecessary to weigh daily and that they can judge an increase from the fit of their clothes. Some do not carry their scale with them while traveling, as it is cumbersome and takes a big bite out of their luggage allowance when flying. This is a serious mistake, because after a course of M2 Metabolic Method as much as 10 pounds can be regained without any noticeable change in the fit of their clothes. The reason for this is that after treatment newly acquired fat is first evenly distributed and does not show the former preference for certain body parts.
It is essential that you follow the protocol as outlined. The Low Calorie Diet starts on the third day of the drops. It needs to be followed EXACTLY! Even slight variations in the diet and protocol can mean that the weight loss stops.
Gentle to moderate exercise is recommended during the diet. For example, walking or yoga for 1/2 an hour per day is beneficial.
Strenuous exercise is not recommended and, in fact, can cause a stoppage or sometimes an increase in weight due to the body burning off too many calories and being put into starvation mode.
Please refrain from massages during Step 2.
Weigh yourself every morning before eating or drinking any fluids and without clothing.
Consult your medical health provider about taking a Magnesium supplement, which should alleviate the condition and will not interfere with your program.
Don’t try this diet without an M2 Supplement. The weight you lose will be quickly regained since your body will go into starvation mode. This will cause your body to store more fat.
If you reach your goal weight before you have finished the 21 days of drops you must not stop the drops until you complete your twenty first day. This will allow your body to reset your thyroid and your hypothalamus. Please contact us for a personalized plan.
