Rose Ferguson perfect, thank you. Phase 1 was amazing for me in not even thinking about a snack. The last few days I’ve had some nuts with my lunch and no afternoon snack has been required 🙌🏻

Q: do you recommend that we are 3x meals/day without snacks for phase 2?

I’m eating at 8, 12 and 5:30 and some days this week have had a little hunger around 3:30-4 where lunch has been lighter. I’ve had some nuts or the snack from the meal plan and that has sorted me right out! 

Thanks for this, Mita. Out of interest, which was the one that caused the flare up? 

Lovely - thanks so much and I'll let you know how I get on xx

Q: regarding the over-exercise that you mentioned this morning on the live...

My usual routine is to exercise every day + a few rest days pre-period. I do Tracy Anderson mat classes 60 mins x 4/week and dance cardio + 30 min mat class x 3/week. I love it because it's the only thing I've been able to do consistently (2+ years) and not get injured (I used to dance a lot, have had various injuries over the years and pre-TA they would sometimes flare up).

For phase 1, I paused on my usual TA to give Metabolic Method my full attention and have been doing the daily steps, runs, 1 class so far.

My Q: it doesn't feel like I'm doing enough exercise with the walks/classes/weekly run. My brain says if I'm not getting sweaty every day, it's not really exercise. And my back & hip (old injuries) have started playing up. TA has me mostly in heart rate Zones 2-3 so it's not heavily stressing (in my mind) and I have a Whoop to track my recovery. Do you think this qualifies as over-exercising?  

If yes, I am happy to continue to follow the programme to the T and pause my usual routine for the moment (providing pain settles down) but wanted your thoughts given my usual baseline of movement.

Thank you!

Hi! Quick question on water and electrolytes for the Metabolic Method. How much electrolyte solution is recommended per 2L water? I have the Elyte Concentrate shown in the online shop.
