FAQs

Food & Diet Questions

Does it matter if I eat two small apples rather than one large apple?

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

Can I vary the items listed for each meal?

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.

How do I weigh my meats and fish?

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.

Why should I journal?

It is important to journal your food intake each day in order to count your calories and log in the food you eat.

What about the use of over-the-counter medications?

No over -the -counter medications should be used without special permission since they could interfere with your weight loss.

Can I vary when I eat my fruit or breadstick each day?

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.

How much fluid should I drink each day?

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.

What type of fluids can I drink?

Approved fluids are water, coffee, tea, naturally sweetened seltzers and lemonade made with water, squeezed lemon and sweetened with Stevia only.

Can I use any fats to cook or eat with my food?

No oil, Pam®, butter or dressing is permitted during Steps 2 and 3.

Can I season my food?

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.

How much lemon juice can I use per day?

The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for any purpose per day.

During Step 4 how do I avoid gaining weight while my body is adjusting to its new metabolic settings?

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.

How closely do I need to follow the M2 Diet?

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.

Lifestyle Questions

What type of exercise should I do while on the M2 Metabolic Method Diet?

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.

Can I have a massage during this diet?

Please refrain from massages during Step 2.

ow often do I need to weigh myself during the diet?

Weigh yourself every morning before eating or drinking any fluids and without clothing.

``What if?`` Questions

What should I do if I become constipated?

Consult your medical health provider about taking a Magnesium supplement, which should alleviate the condition and will not interfere with your program.

What if I just do the low calorie diet without the M2 Supplements?

Don’t try this diet without an MSupplement. 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.

What if I reach my goal weight before the 21st day?

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.
