“I have been overweight most of my life and a skeptic when it comes to diets and plans. Before I started the MB diet I weighed a 140kg. I was too fat to go to the gym and could not play any sport. I eventually agreed to try a hand at the diet thanks to my wife persuading me as she couldn’t bear to see how I was letting myself go recently thanks to a highly stressful, sedentary job. My overall target was to lose 40 kilos and I said to myself if two weeks is all I have to do to see if this works then so be it. I lost 8 kilos in those first two weeks and I was shocked. I have always had a slow BMR and never expected to lose that kind of weight in two weeks! That gave me serious motivation to continue. Within the next 3 months I have lost a total of 20 kilos and bear in mind I am yet to step into a gym or do any form of exercise. My goal is to lose the remaining 20 kilos over the next 3 months. The best thing about MB is that you have precise instructions on the types of foods you can have however you are at liberty to prepare it the way you want and therefore never get bored. The other interesting this is that it changes the way you eat. Three months on my food habits, cravings and even portions have all dramatically changed. I am already ecstatic about the weight I have lost and feel great, confident and energetic. I can’t wait to reach my goal weight because already I feel such a big difference in everything I do!”

“First of all THANKS so much for the right, promising and inspiring plan. I have struggled with my weight for a few years spending lots more money in trying to achieve my goal now and as a result have also developed some health issues. After trying numerous different techniques and diets I was told about Shelina and Metabolic Balance by a few relatives and friends who had all positive things to tell me. I thought that I may not achieve results due to my age but my family really encouraged me and I went to see Shelina. My first meeting with Shelina, she put me at ease and was very thorough at explaining the body’s metabolic processes and the science behind her theory. Shelina is a motivating, attentive, loving and caring individual who will coach you and guide you on your journey. She has helped me achieve and maintain my goals and made me feel a lot better. The care that she provides is outstanding. I reached my target weight in a short few months and I am so happy with the way I look and feel. Shelina has excellent qualities as a person, she makes each one of her client as comfortable as she can,understanding each individual commitments. I admit that after spending so much time and money both in London and Nairobi, the plan I followed with the care from Shelina is the best and am ready to recommend to anyone. Once again Shelina, thanks a lot and in future will look forward to seeing you with any consultations I may require.”

“I noticed that my weight had increased from a steady average of 55kgs to 69kg.I had tried other different kinds of diets and exercise but did not have success. I decided to see Shelina Mediratta of Metabolic Balance after seeing the incredible results from friends who had tried it. I am now 17 weeks into my diet and have embraced the changes in my cooking and eating to suit my social life and work life. I have gone from 69kgs to 58kgs, which is a huge achievement. My aim is to reach 55kgs and then level off. My advise to all…the Metabolic Balance program is definitely worth it! Ultimately you get to find out the foods that suit your body and that information alone is really beneficial as you can use it to make suitable choices when shopping at supermarkets or ordering at restaurants. Of course, all external diets need supervision and Shelina is a great coach. She is easily approachable and very supportive.”

“After stopping smoking I gained about 15kg in eight years; every now and then I was trying out some ways to lose weight i.e: gym work out, basic/acidic diet, calories diet but in vain and with quite a lot of struggle . By chance I came across an advertising on metabolic diet and said to myself “let give it a try” . After only 3 week my weight loss was already of 8 kilos and now 14kg in some three months. During all this period I enjoyed cooking my meals and felt losing kilos without any big effort and seeing the results was a great feeling. Now I feel somehow ok with my weight (88kg/176cm and almost 60 years old) and would just pay attention on controlling the kilos and hoping not to fall back to the initial situation . I feel more active and with a lot more of energy thinking how I managed to lose on the way the equivalent of 7 packets of ugali!”

Mr. Matharu

“I was brought to Shelina through my mother and sister. I am the type of person that would burn myself out in the gym and hope the weight would come off. I was a bit skeptical about the whole process and was scared of losing muscle whilst loosing weight through this process, or not eating enough hence reducing energy levels. However this was not the case at all with Metabolic Balance. The food portions were large and I had to reduce them! I was 103kg before I started and after a few short months have lost 19kgs!

The fact that blood tests are done prior to the diet helps a lot, it makes the whole plan personalized and that’s why it works. The blood report detected high acidity levels due to my normal eating and drinking routine. This really gave me a reality check about the state of my health as I hadn’t been to the gym for 6 months due to my busy schedule. I met with Shelina after she received my report and plan, and I was all set for a journey that totally transformed my lifestyle and health.

After 2 weeks of my diet plan I had reduced a lot of weight and felt more energetic. After a few months I have reached my weight goal of 84kg, feel a lot more energetic, sleep better, and am a lot more confident. I would definitely recommend metabolic balance to anyone looking to keep a healthier lifestyle.”

S. Khanna

I have been on the metabolic Balance program since April 2015. Three and a half months on and I’ve managed to lose 15kg which is an envy to many. But more importantly this regime has changed my lifestyle for the better. In addition I was border line on my sugar levels and was considered by my doctor as potentially diabetic. Ever since I started the metabolic balance program, my sugar levels have become normal much to the amazement of my doctor. I always bless Shelina Mediratta for introducing me to this regime and encouraging me at all times. I sincerely recommend this to anybody who wants to improve quality in their life.

Priyal Dodhia, 33yrs

“My Metabolic Balance journey has inspired not only new mothers but a lot of women who thought it was impossible to loose the weight and inches.

During my pregnancy I had put on approximately 30kg and believed it would shed off through nursing. My eating habits did not change and to my horror I just pilled on the extra kilograms. Before I started the Metabolic-balance Journey I was very close to 90kg and had complete hormonal imbalance. This in itself led to various other complications.

I have always had weight issues and have followed various diet program. I started my journey on this program in March 2015. After the detox days the program was so simple and easy to follow. In fact, the 14 days strict phase became second nature to me. By December 2015, I lost 30kg in weight, 20cm from my wait, 22cm from my hips and 13cm around my Thighs.

From a UK size 16 I can now comfortably fit into a size 10. My energy and confidence levels have risen immensely.

A big thank you to my mentor Shelina Mediratta for all her guidance on sight and remotely as well.”

Mr. R. Shah

“Since I have been on the metabolic-balance program, I have lost a tremendous 25kg and achieved significant cm loss on my waist, thighs and hips in a short space of time. My energy levels have increased, my health and general well being has become so much better – no more aches and pains! It has improved my life in many ways and the great thing is that the weight does not come back! My coach, Shelina Mediratta, has always been there to support me and guide me through my individualized plan, which is easy to follow and gives me the structure and discipline I always needed to keep me on track. The metabolic-balance program has been a success for me beyond anything I have experienced with other diets and way beyond anything I expected.”

Ashitkumar Mehta

“Before I started the metabolic balance program, my weight was 117kgs. I was severely overweight and had a complete metabolic hormonal imbalance; which created other complications. My cholesterol was extremely high and I was on the verge of diabetes. I suffered from sleep apnea, which was uncontrollable and embarrassing. My thyroid levels were very high. I constantly suffered from hunger pangs and cravings for sugar.

I am only 5 months into the metabolic balance program and I have lost a total of 24kgs! I have completely recovered from snoring and sleep apnea, my sugar levels have been regulated. My thyroid level has dropped and cholesterol levels have normalized.

I would like to sincerely thank Shelina Mediratta for giving me the right guidance for me to lose weight, improve my metabolism and help me get my health back. With all this I appreciate and thank you for all your support.”

Metabolic Balance is a truly amazing programme that not only easily helps you lose those extra pounds but leaves you feeling fantastic! I lost the weight I had been wanting to lose for many, many years in a couple of months following the 8 easy rules and choosing to eat from my personalized food plan. Whenever I had any questions Shelina, my coach, was there to answer them.

The really surprising thing, however,about this programme is that it is sustainable. I have had no problem keeping my new weight by still sticking to the rules which have become second nature to me now. The reason it is so easy to stay with this nutrition plan is that it makes you feel great. I haven’t had hunger pangs or cravings because I’m eating balanced meals. I look and feel really well! I can only recommend this programme. It really works!

Before I started teh Metabolic Balance program, with my coach Shelina Mdeiratta, I weighed 79kg, and for a boy at my age, I was heavily obese. I could not control my hunger and was filled with pangs throughout the day. I was advised by my close family friend to start on the metabolic program. I met with Shelina Mediratta who very professionally helped me and my family start the Metabolic Balance program. In a short period of 11 weeks I lost 13kg, 20cm on my waist, 15cm on my hips and 13cm on my thighs. I dont feel any hunger pangs. I feel like anew person because of her and the metabolic program; I also feel like I can do things that I could never do before. I would happily recommend this program to anyone who wants to loose weight, it works like a charm

Shrutti Shah, 55yrs

“After moving to Kenya from England, starting a new life and having two kids 28 years ago. I had gained weight, lost my skin texture and colour had turned grey black on my face I weighed 68 kilos up from 55kg as a young woman. I attributed it to menopause and the African climate and life style. Apart from never feeling at ease with my aged looks I constantly trying to loose weight by exercising and dieting. Although I toned I never lost weight and resolved to the menopause myth that women loose their shape.

Metabolic Balance diet gave me a new lease of life so far I have lost 18 kilos my skin is radiant again I feel happy all the time and dont even know the reason! There is such an energy surge that my family are in awe and wonder at the new me. I highly recommend this as I dont starve, I just FOLLOW the 8 principles, my personalised plan and lead a normal life enjoying food as I used to since I am a “food aholic” Ayone will tell you that, even those who know me remotely.

My mental state has never been so good nor has my energy levels even when I was 23! Thank you for your guidance Shelina and thank you all the people who I saw this plan made a difference to hence making me do it”

Amelie, 23yrs

Doing Metabolic Balance wasn’t really a choice for me, I had no alternative. I could only eat 6 foods that had to be from the same manufacturer, I permanently had allergic reactions to foods, which ranged from mild dysphagia to anaphylactic shock. For emergencies I had various medications and instructions from the doctor. Obesity was the least of my problems.

When I met with my practitioner and he created my individual plan I was a little scared as there was a lot of food on my plan which I knew I could not eat. For example, In the beginning I only ate papaya, because I thought I was allergic to the sugars in fruit. It was only when I started eating it that I realised “I got no cramps, yes”, that’s when it all changed and I started to eat everything on the plan. It was incredibly delicious, and I lost weight, without even trying.

In my opinion eating according to Metabolic Balance, is the only method that eradicates the allergic reactions to certain foods. For the first time I’m actually eating! Meanwhile, I have a cooking blog, I was in a cooking show on TV as a guest, where I prepared a normal meal. I’ve developed hundreds of recipes and I am incredibly happy.

Michael, 23yrs

In March 2010 I woke up one day and thought I was far too fat, I had exceeded the 25 stone limit. So it could not go on. My goal was to get down to less than 15 stones in half a year. What can I say? I’ve done it!

Honestly, I had closed my eyes to all weight-related impairments and did not realize how bad I felt. It was only when the weight started to come off and life was much easier that I became aware of it. it’s the everyday things like climbing the stairs – I’m far less out of breath quickly and just feel much more comfortable going up and down them.

I chose Metabolic Balance as I’m the type of person who needs clear targets and intersections to do things. The exact quantities shown in my individual plan make it so easy. A friend of mine tried Metabolic Balance a few years ago and had considerable success. I looked at it more closely to see if it would work for me and immediately knew – it was the right thing for me.

The initial detoxification period left me feeling a little exhausted, but after that I was fine. And although I’m pretty involved as a real estate professional, for me there was no problem to eat the things on my diet plan.

The biggest change for is definitely the new body and the feelings associated with severe weight loss. I have much more energy and feel great. At the same time I was a young man I like to look in the mirror. I like the new me and I’m happy.

Myriam, 29yrs

In 2011 I started suffering from severe stomach problems, I would get meal acid reflux at the end of every meal which just made my stomach bigger and bigger and took my weight up to a level I wasn’t comfortable with.

I consulted with a doctor, who prescribed medication but even that didn’t help. At 26 years old I was faced with severe obesity, so I had to find another way. A colleague had mentioned Metabolic Balance and after doing my research on the internet, I quickly made an appointment with a practitioner.

My practitioner created my individual program, something I have been in search of for years. The initial investment may seem high but you’re investing in your life and it more than pays for itself. I initially found the program a shock to my system but acclimatizing to it didn’t take long.

There were many people around me who didn’t understand why I wanted do it, but that didn’t stop me. I completely pulled through Phases 1 and Phase 2, a few misfires in Phase 3. After the first 2 months I lost 1.5 stones. I realised in Phase 4 that this needs to be a way of life for me and having completed the program I’m now 5.5 stones lighter and the weight hasn’t piled back on.

I’ve had a great holiday behind me, move around a lot more and like to try out new sports. It totally changed my life.

Jennifer, 29yrs

When I saw photos of my last Christmas, I was totally shocked at what had become of me. At this time I weighed 17 stones and I was very unhappy in general. I needed to do something & quick. In the past I’ve tried everything to get thinner, and I mean everything. But in the end all I got was that typical yo-yo effect. I was really frustrated.

I chose Metabolic Balance because of the structure and support. Suddenly everything just fell into place, insanely fast. I lost 2.5 stones in the initial Phases and from then on it was so easy.

I believe that because I was finally happy everything else also fell into place – first I got myself a better job and then I moved in with my boyfriend. I am happy. I’ve never felt so well.

“Shelina helped me to make better personal food choices as I was not only overweight but also felt very tired and was lacking self esteem. We made a lot of changes to my eating habits, however ​s​he was very realistic on what I like to eat/drink. She promotes people taking pleasure in what they are eating. Within a few months I felt a big difference. I have lost about 12kg by now and have a much better “relationship” to my body. Thank you for supporting me along the way! It was 100% worth it!”

Amrita

“When a friend referred me to Shelina i was in 2 minds. All my life i have been on a diet. But meeting her is the best decision I have made this year. I have lost about 9 kg in 2 months and 6 inch on my waist…my target is not far and now i know i will achieve it. Thank you Shelina!”
