Now that you’ve completed your 30-Day Metabolic Reset, it’s time to reassess, and create a plan for maintaining your new metabolic baseline.

At this point, your experience is likely to be one of the following

  1. You’ve reached your goal weight, your energy and brain function have improved and you are feeling better than you have in a long time.
  2. You’ve made some improvements, but you still have a ways to go in terms of optimal weight and brain function.  You’re a little better but you want MORE.
  3. You’re feeling stuck and perhaps frustrated by hearing so many success stories, and wondering, “what about me?”

This week is dedicated to determining which of these 3 situations best describes you, and what you can do to continue the improvement, or identify the obstacles that are holding you back.

The steps outlined below will guide you to figure out what you need to do to keep yourself moving in the direction of unstoppable health – with energy, mental clarity and a right-sized body.  You deserve to feel good – every day – and this week we are going to help you figure out how to do just that.

    Re-Calculate Your Optimal Blood Sugar Range and Peak

    Hold-off on re-introducing any new foods for 3 days.  Carefully track the contents of each meal, including the time eaten, portion sizes and foods.  Track your blood sugar readings for each of these meals if possible, but at a minimum, your largest one each day.  If you haven’t been tracking your blood sugar numbers, carefully note any symptoms on your tracking chart.  These include mood, energy, aches and pains, brain fog, and any others applicable to you.

    Observe your peak blood sugar and compare to before the metabolic reset. Has it improved?  What’s your new range?

    • If fasting blood sugar is 95 or below (5.27 in international units), target to have a maximum peak of 110 (6.11 for international)
    • If fasting blood sugar is above 95 but below 120 (between 5.27 and 6.67), your optimal range is between your starting glucose at beginning of meal plus at most 25 (1.39 international)
    • If fasting blood sugar is above 120 (6.67 international), the target for your peak is no more than 30 (1.67 international) points higher than your pre-meal level.

    If you’ve been following the plan, your peak and fasting should be less than when you started.  If not, we need to look at what’s still getting in the way.  We’ll be redoing assessments this week to facilitate that.

    Optional: Run Follow-Up Lab Tests to Measure Your Success

    If you completed any lab tests before beginning the program, run follow-up lab tests and compare to the results to measure your progress. The Week 8 Official Handbook contains a list of the lab tests that can be helpful for evaluating the status of your glucose/insulin function.

    Begin to Phase Out Supplements Once You Stabilize

    The Week 8 handbook will guide you to determine which supplements you need to continue, how to phase out the core supplements carefully when ready, so as not to disrupt your progress, and which, if any, supplements you may need to add, based on your current situation.   There’s a process for slowly weaning off supplements when ready, along with a description of a few that may help you break through any plateaus you may be experiencing.
