RECLAIM YOUR HEALTH

The Metabolic Health Reset Program

Changing habits is hard. If it were easy, you would not be reading these words. 

There is so much at stake, and your future well-being depends on the decisions you make today.

And yet, you tried many times and always hit these roadblocks that stopped your best intentions to finally be in control of the food you take in.  

We get it.

We have taken people on this 12-week journey who were obese and others who just had a few kilos to lose. From our experience, no one embarks on a 12-week program without stumbling at some point during this time. Quite frankly, we expect it.

And, we have you covered.

By joining the program today, you will be guided, step-by-step through the next 12 weeks. The program is designed to ramp up slowly so you can incorporate changes into your lifestyle and don’t have to dramatically upend your whole life to accommodate a new way of eating and develop new healthy habits.

16 Hours for Life Program

Pre-learning

Week 1: Pre-Learning

This week is all about getting ready.

By the end of this week, you will understand the science behind low-carbohydrate eating. You will have prepared for the change ahead and developed a support plan. You will have set your weight goal and made a personal commitment to stay the course.

Carb Weaning

Weeks 2 & 3: Carb Weaning

Know what to eat. You will have successfully removed highly processed carbs from your life at the end of these two weeks. You will build on the habit of getting fertilisers into your diet daily.

By now, you will have developed an awareness of how your body responds to different foods you eat. You will also be firmly in the habit of planning, shopping, cooking and eating mostly real foods.

Intermittent Fasting

Weeks 4 & 5: Fat Adaptation

At this phase, you will have successfully transitioned to only eating “slow carbs”. You will understand the difference between cravings and hunger and know how to control both. 

At this stage, you will become “Fat Adapted”.

The Burn

Weeks 6 – 11: The Burn

Once you are ‘Fat Adapted’, Intermittent Fasting will be an easy next step on your weight loss journey. 

During this time, weight loss is rapid, and you will build strong, lasting habits. Your energy levels increase, and you are encouraged to start an exercise routine. 

Maintenance

Week 12: Maintenance

You lost a lot of weight and want to ensure you continue or maintain it. At the end of this week, you will thoroughly understand which foods work best for you and how to maintain the program on your own.

You will know how to recover when you have eaten high-carbohydrate foods and stay committed to lifelong health.

How it works

Join Now

Join today and we allocate you to your group

Your group is your support network. We meet online, weekly and your group is in daily contact via WhatsApp.

All your personal questions are answered. The group has a trained facilitator to lead the group and guide you through the program.

You’ll receive full access to a food-tracking app configured based on your personal metrics which the facilitator uses to guide you personally.

Plate

Ease into making small habit changes

Slowly and consistently, you are guided to change your eating habits without going hungry or exercising.

When you hit a bump in the road, which we all do, we are here to catch you and guide you through those rough times with suggestions tailored to your situation.

This is your journey, and you are in control, and you have your group to support you.

Reduce weight

Watch your body transform every week

By becoming aware of your habits, you will change some of the foods you eat and lose weight right from the start.

You will notice a significant change every single week, which motivates you to continue the process of transformation.

By the end of the program, you will know exactly what to eat, so you’ll never lose control over food ever again.

Customer Success Stories

The program was a ‘game changer’ for me. The building blocks to success were so beautifully conveyed to us by our facilitator Charlotte. The entire composition of the program gives one all the keys to continued success. Knowledge plus motivation plus support from your group = a winning recipe. Definitely, the best investment I have ever made in myself and my health.

Monique

Dec 2021 total loss 21,5 kg; I am cycling harder and further, starting to run and swim again, have ample energy; no more inflammation or gout and no chronic meds.

I lost a lot, and I gained knowledge, new friends, and better health.

Pierre

I struggled to lose weight for years and experienced high levels of inflammation due to the autoimmune disease Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (your thyroid gland becomes irritated or inflamed). 

By following the program and Shaun’s guidance, I not only lost 13 kilograms but managed to greatly reduce my body’s inflammation levels. This lifestyle also reversed my pre-diabetes naturally.

Learn About Our Program

How we ensure you succeed

The most challenging way to lose weight is to go it alone.

We keep it real. You will hit a wall at some point during the 12 weeks, and that is where you need a support system to help you get up on your feet and not give up. We set you up in a small group who are all going through the program with you. You learn from each other and share helpful tips, so the whole group arrives at their end goal together.

In addition, having live online meetings with your group and a trained facilitator once a week will get your questions answered as they arise.

You don’t have to go it alone! We got you!

Real People – Real Results

Dr Marichen van der Westhuizen

Having worked in the addiction field for many years, I am very aware of the ‘lost’ feeling the road to a healthy lifestyle can bring. Recovery, or the change to healthy life habits, requires a commitment that is based on intrinsic motivations. In my opinion, the 16-hours For Life programme is framed in such a way that it may assist participants to move from being motivated by external factors such as health to intrinsic motivation where the benefits of a healthy lifestyle are the main motivator to continue and maintain the changes.

This programme provides participants with a structure and a guide to explain what is happening. The content provides a combination of education (i.e. knowledge needed to understand why one engages with the programme), practices (what to do and how to approach each phase), and support. The latter provides participants with a space where shared experiences can contribute to a better understanding of the programme, support is provided by professionals and peers, and also a platform where one can become inspired by what works best. The inclusion of group sessions in this programme can further contribute to finding workable solutions for challenges. I am particularly encouraged and inspired by the way in which knowledge can become integrated into the lifestyle through the way in which each phase is packaged.

This programme, therefore, does not only focus on eating habits and healthier lifestyles but truly provides a basis from which participants can integrate the changes they make to ensure long-term success.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens once I paid?

We will contact you to start the onboarding process. Please note that the onboarding process for this program is personalised and not automated. 

You will be registered on our e-learning platform and enrolled on the Gold Membership option of Cronometer, the meal tracking application we use. You will also be invited to join our next group via Zoom, our online meeting platform.

Who will be in my group?

Your group will consist of like-minded people wanting the same as you: a healthier lifestyle. Every group we have had developed its own personality, adding to the enjoyment of the experience. Your facilitator will guide the group to be supportive and help to hold you accountable to your goals.

How many people are in a group?

We keep our groups small and not more than ten people. We want to spend enough time with each individual to get the maximum out of the facilitators’ guidance.

Are there any additional costs?

No. You only pay for the program. We do not have any additional charges, no supplements, replacement meals, or any other additional costs. 

Most participants start saving money as their grocery bill diminishes, and they stop spending money on supplements and chronic medication.

How can I fast if skipping a meal gives me a panic attack?

We teach you how to recognise and eat nutrient-dense food.

You won’t go hungry while you are transforming your health. Your hunger goes away as your gut grows healthier and you eat the right food. Your body responds miraculously to the wholesome foods you eat!

Only then will we introduce fasting. We will help you discover your fasting rhythm.

Fasting slows down ageing and promotes a healthier metabolism. When eating nutrient-dense foods, your body naturally follows a daily intermittent fasting rhythm. We will guide you to start fasting without hunger.

Is eating low-carb expensive?

Once a week, you have a video call with your team and assigned facilitator. This is when you can dive deeper into any issues you may have.

Sometimes other members ask questions you didn’t even think of, making these weekly calls invaluable to your success.

How do I sign up to the Cronometer App?

Once you have purchased the program, we will register you for the Gold Membership package on Cronometer. Cronometer sends you an email requesting you to accept 16-hrs For Life access to your profile. This happens after we have set up a personal profile for you using the information you supplied via the form you filled in.

Please look in your inbox for the invite directly from Cronometer. After finishing the sign-up via the Cronometer email, you can download the mobile app and sign onto the mobile app with the same email and password as your initial registration via the Cronometer email invitation.

Am I allowed to drink alcohol on the program?

Alcohol is a significant handbrake to weight loss. Although alcohol, as a substance, does not contain carbohydrates, it is very high in calories. We stay away from alcohol for two reasons.
1) When trying to lose weight, you should not consume empty calories – in other words, calories with no nutrient value. Alcohol has a high-calorie value and adds unnecessary calories.
2) Alcohol impairs our decision-making. When you use alcohol and are confronted with foods that are not on your healthy eating lists, it is much easier to give in and eat those foods. We are much less inhibited when we consume alcohol.

Is too much protein bad for you?

Protein is one of the most beneficial macronutrients to eat when you want to lose weight and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Eating a protein-rich diet instead of a diet rich in carbohydrates will lead to better appetite control, decreased cravings, and much more energy and vitality.

We will set the amount of protein you need to eat, which will be at a moderate level. You will never overeat protein with us guiding you.

Which carb replacement products should I buy when I'm on the program?

Many food products on supermarket shelves claim to be low-carb and sugar-free, but please be careful when buying packaged food. The best way to avoid hidden carbs and achieve success is to cook your own ‘real’ quality foods. When you do choose a product from the shelf, always check the ingredients and consider the carbohydrate content per 100 grams. Total carbohydrates should never be more than 5g/100g.

What is your advice to menopausal women wanting to follow this program?

During menopause, most women experience significant hormonal changes causing symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, and poor sleep. Many say they struggle to lose weight more than ever before.

Studies show that a low-carb lifestyle can decrease insulin levels and improve hormonal imbalances, greatly benefiting women during menopause.

Our clients report weight loss and relief from menopause symptoms, but we recommend you first seek advice from a medical professional before signing up.

Will I have loose skin after losing weight on the program?

A rapid drop in body fat can result in saggy skin for some individuals. However, this depends on factors like how fast you dropped the weight (steady weight loss is better) and whether you are genetically disposed to having less elasticity in your skin.

The best way to prevent or limit loose skin from weight loss is to exercise and eat nutrient-rich, whole foods, including healthy fats.

What about cholesterol?

A rise in cholesterol when eating low-carb can be related to losing weight and levels should come back down once weight loss ceases. There are no major issues concerning serum-lipid changes and typical findings are stable LDL cholesterol levels, a decrease in triglycerides, and an increased HDL cholesterol.
