INTRODUCTION

Hi there, it’s Mere.

I wanted to first give you a virtual “high-five” for completing


the Metabolic Flush.

You finished the first part with flying colors, which shows me
just how committed you are to finally reclaiming your body!

I know you will be successful because you've already gotten


this far. Now, with a little more drive, determination, a ton of
love, and a passion to make a lasting change, it's time to
begin your transformation!

As I mentioned to you before, I’m here to guide, motivate and


inspire you every step of the way.

Because your success is my success.

So keep the momentum rolling... and LET’S DO THIS!

The Belly Blaster is going to piggy back off of the Metabolic


Flush to help reduce inflammation and melt away stubborn
pounds without starving, damaging or depriving your body.

1
LEAN, MEAN & METACLEAN
I don’t know if you remember Jill W’s story, so I’m going to
refresh your memory.

Jill achieved “temporary success” only to gain back the


weight she lost - because she didn’t develop a MetaLifestyle.
She didn’t cleanse her body properly or balance the correct
combination of nutrients and fitness to ignite her cellular
engine.

Detoxes have a purpose and can truly cleanse your system of


toxins and impurities. When done correctly, it can be the
perfect catalyst to kick off a complete nutritional program.

But it SHOULDN’T be used as a cop out... or as a way to


‘splurge then purge’.

And it shouldn’t be done without the supervision of a


nutrition specialist or health professional.

If you try a ‘home grown’ version, chances are you are not
mixing the right MetaInfluencers together to cause a spark.
Or worse, you can damage your body, become dehydrated,
and feel just plain lousy.

For sustainable and continued weight loss (ESPECIALLY if


you’re 40+!) lifestyle and longevity are key!

2
You see, our body’s core systems - like our digestive,
nervous, and hormonal systems - were designed to work in
congruence to achieve optimum health and functioning.
When we overload our body with environmental pollutants,
unhealthy foods, and excess alcohol, we cause it to get way
out of balance (plus add unwanted flab to our bellies)! The Belly
Blaster can virtually keep that delicate system in check,
helping to restore any imbalances in your system.

I will personally guide you through the CORRECT way to


clarify your body to remove toxins and impurities for overall
wellness, to help reduce inflammation, to boost your immune
system, and lose FAT (not water weight).

CASE STUDY: JILL'S STORY
Meet Jill W. She’s from the United Kingdom and has two
daughters. She reached out to me recently to share her
struggle being 40+, feeling tired, frustrated, and ready to give
up hope on ever achieving weight loss at her age... and
actually keeping it off.

Like many women, Jill started gaining weight after she turned
50 and her metabolism came to a halt. She didn’t like how

she looked or felt. Jill started


fighting that upward battle of
yo-yo dieting. She would lose
weight. Then after a short
time she would put most the
weight back on again.

Jill was doing a mix of things:


Lost 40 lbs, 26 inches, &
She did some juicing 12% bodyfat!
programs... some detoxes...

and some fitness bootcamps. The bootcamps were pretty


aggressive too, allowing only 1200 calories/day and a total of
8 hours/day fitness for 7 days. Jill lost some weight once
again, but then hit the all too familiar plateau.

You see, what Jill was doing wasn’t sustainable.


4
She had determination and motivation, but what she lacked
was the right information to maintain a revved metabolism
that was essential for continued weight loss.

This is when I met Jill. She started my system using the right
combination of nutrition AND fitness routines targeted for
40+ women, and leaped over that weight hurdle with ease.

And Jill's results were incredible! She lost inches off the
notorious problem areas that most 40+ women struggle
with... 6 inches off her hips, 5 inches off her waist, 3 inches
off each thigh, and 1 inch off each arm. And guess what, not
only did the fat melt off, but she also developed muscle tone.

Jill’s biggest tip: “Just keep at it!”

Your commitment, determination, and motivation will take


you through this next phase with real results and real fat loss.

...Here we go!

RESULTS: Jill lost 14 lbs in the first 14 days, as


well as 13 inches. In just a few short months, Jill
lost a total of 40 lbs, 26 inches, and 12% body fat!

The Belly Blaster program is 2 parts, starting with the 3 Day MetaClean, then the 7 Day
MetaSlim. The MetaClean sets the tone and primes your body through detoxification, while
the MetaClean is designed to feed your body the correct nutrients and superfoods it needs
to send your metabolism into hyperdrive!

5
EXPECTATION & INSPIRATION
Before we go through the actual MetaClean process, it’s important
for your overall, sustainable success to get in the right mindset.

Understand what your body and mind will need to achieve your
goals. Also, remember to ‘listen’ to your body, after all nobody
knows your body like you do.

1. Supreme Super Foods


Whole foods and powerhouse herbs are all that you will be
consuming.

2. Hydra Heals
It's suggested that you drink at least six 8 oz. glasses of water each
day. This will help keep you hydrated, keep your system running and
flushing out impurities (and fat!), and also help keep you full.

3. Enter The Sandman


This is often overlooked. It’s really important to get 7-9 hours of sleep.
If your body doesn’t get the ideal amount of slumber, it won’t perform
optimally. It’s essential to your health and to the MetaBoost
Connection program.

4. Get Zen
You’re probably thinking, this is cheesy. But actually, getting relaxed,
focused, mentally prepared, and ready for each day will help you
breeze through this with ease. As I mentioned in Metabolic Flush,
visualization also helps. Many successful people today (whether it’s
sports, business, academia) visualized themselves where they wanted
to be. If you see it you will be it. So mentally, take 2-4 minutes every
morning, before you do anything else, to clear your mind and set a
positive tone for the day.

6
Lastly, don’t forget your abbreviated MetaMantra:

"I HAVE THE POWER


TO CREATE CHANGE"

Deep cleansing breathing is another way to feel relaxed. I filmed a


super short video on my Facebook page about ‘Box Breathing’. It’s
a great, simple yet effective exercise where you breathe in through
your nose for 3 long seconds. Hold it in for 3 long seconds. Then
exhale out of your mouth for 3 long seconds. This helps calm you
down, lower your heart rate, and dispel any anxiety. I suggest
trying it in the morning or anytime you may feel a little anxious. If
you want to check out that video, you can do so right here!

THE METACLEAN DIFFERENCE
MetaClean is not something you should fear, but something
you should look forward to.

Remember what we talked about before?

On a daily basis we are not only exposed to environmental


pollutants, but we're ingesting toxins as well (in the form of
processed foods and pesticides)!

An effective and sustainable body cleanse is one that


involves fresh, organic and whole foods that promote health
and wellness.
Some of these foods include things like:

Spinach
Arugula
MetaInfluencers!
Radishes
Kale
Berries
Flaxseed
Melons
Avocados
Grapes
Lentils
Tropical fruits like
Brazil Nuts
pineapple and mango
Wild Salmon
Dates
Organic Chicken

There are also a number of incredible herbal additions like:

• Moringa
• Cinnamon (MetaInfluencer!)
• Turmeric (MetaInfluencer!)
• Spirulina
• Ginger (MetaInfluencer!)
• Chili pepper (MetaInfluencer!)

6. Ginger
7. Kale
8. Lentils
9. Turmeric
10. Wild Salmon

AVOCADO
Avocados are rich in healthy fats which has been
shown to boost metabolism. Researchers also found
that people who eat avocados tend to have less belly
fat than those who don’t. Being such a great source
of healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants,
avocados can dampen your body’s inflammatory response and help with
diseases like multiple sclerosis. Want to hear another shocker? Avocados
are loaded with beta-sitosterol, which can affect blood cholesterol levels
and help balance the stress hormone cortisol! Lastly, I bet you didn’t know
a whole avocado contains 14 grams of fiber, which expedites the removal
of toxins that can lead to aging.

BRAZIL NUT
Chock-full of the super mineral selenium, brazil nuts
have been researched at length and proven to
improve your sexual performance, protect against
cancer, boost your metabolism, and fight

10
harmful inflammation. Research notes that an influx of selenium into the
body, mainly selenoproteins, plays an important role in reducing
inflammation, increasing immunity, and promoting natural and balanced
weight loss. Brazil Nuts, in particular, have a specific way of converting the
inactive thyroid hormone, T4, into its active T3 form. This means these
tasty treats can rev up your metabolism by aiding in the health of your fat
burning motor (aka your thyroid). By eating just 3 brazil nuts, you can load
your body with enough selenium to fight off harmful toxins in your body
PLUS give your metabolism an amazing all natural boost.

CHILI PEPPER
Chili peppers are very high in powerful
antioxidants, which helps the body fight infection,
heal and strengthen the immune system. Hot
peppers (such as jalapeño, chili, and cayenne
peppers) increase the body’s release of certain
hormones (adrenaline), which stimulates the metabolism and increases
calorie burn. Chili’s are also rich in vital heart-healthy nutrients such as:
Vitamin B6, Vitamin K1, Potassium, Copper and Vitamin A.

CINNAMON
Not only does this sweet spice have anti-
inflammatory properties, studies show that the
antioxidants in cinnamon help your body fight
infection and repair tissue… a natural anti-aging
super spice! Some research shows a link between cinnamon and increased
metabolism because our bodies use more energy to process this spice than
it does for other foods. Even more eye-opening is a recent report from the
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The study
identifies cinnamon as a “metabolic powerhouse” that could even
encourage positive changes at the cellular level. Want to stop wrinkles
before they even start?

11
Well cinnamon is your spice of choice. Insulin spikes can cause blemishes and
premature skin aging. By helping collagen production, circulation, and blood
sugar regulation, cinnamon can make you look years younger.

FLAXSEED
Research shows that the fiber in flaxseed helps
metabolism by increasing energy, reducing fat, and
improving glucose. In addition, lignans, which are the
type of phytoestrogens in flaxseed, can change
estrogen metabolism and naturally promote hormone balance. One study
even found that eating flax seeds decreased hot flashes in pre and
menopausal women by 60%. Flaxseed oil is also a source of polyunsaturated
fatty acids such as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). The alpha-linolenic acid and
related chemicals in flaxseed oil seem to decrease inflammation, which is why
some use it to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Finally, packed with Omega-3 fatty
acids and antioxidants, flaxseed is a powerful leader in anti-aging.

GINGER
A recent study found that ginger plays an important
role in fat burning, carbohydrate digestion, and insulin
secretion. The spice has also shown to decrease
oxidative stress (a form of cellular aging), to have anti-
inflammatory properties and lower cholesterol and
blood pressure. Ginger may even reduce atherosclerosis, the buildup of fat
in the arteries. But it doesn’t end there, some reports also link ginger to
helping aid in nausea, menstrual cramps and muscle pain.

KALE
Kale has been long recognized to help in weight loss
and weight management because fiber helps to keep
you fuller longer. However, Kale’s benefits are more
than superficial. Kale is low in calories, but rich in iron.

12
MetaInfluencers - THE KEY PLAYERS
It helps speed up metabolism and is a strong source of Vitamin K and
antioxidants, which aids in combating cancer and aging.

LENTILS
Lentils are rich in complex carbohydrates, a nutrient
that boosts the metabolism and helps the body to
burn fat. They are also high in fiber and magnesium,
both of which are linked to help reduce inflammation. Lentils also have
virtually no fat or calories, yet being fiber-rich, makes you feel full. Many
people found adding lentils to their diets help them lose weight.

TURMERIC
Long used on the Asian continent, Turmeric is now
recognized in the West for its multiple healing
properties including being a natural anti-inflammatory
and powerful antioxidant. Turmeric has been linked to
prevent diseases of the aging such as cancer, heart
disease and Alzheimer’s. According to research, Turmeric also helps increase
bile which then aids in digestion and helps emulsify fat and speed up
metabolism.

WILD SALMON
Wild salmon is a lean protein source that's rich in
Omegas, which help with heart health and combating
chronic inflammation. It also helps with energy
production and muscle building. The Omega-3 fatty
acids in wild salmon have also been linked to helping metabolism. In
addition, wild salmon has helped prevent insulin resistance, which can lead
to Type-2 diabetes.

13
OTHER SUPREME SUPERFOODS
SPIRULINA
An incredible super food that provides a concentrated source
of protein, vitamins, antioxidants, and other nutrients.

PEA PROTEIN
Packed with branch chain amino acids. BCAAs help you lose
weight by keeping you full between meals.

AFTER YOUR METACLEAN
Well done! I’m so proud of you for finishing the MetaClean.

At this point, you should look and feel ah-mazing! You should
feel light, refreshed, and energized. You should also feel less
bloated and you should have a rosy and vibrant complexion.

HERE’S A RECAP OF WHAT MAKES THE


METACLEAN SO IMPORTANT:
You Needed to Remove Toxins that Had Accumulated In Your
Body from the Environment.
You Wanted to Boost Your Immune System.
You Wanted to Fight Premature Signs of Aging.
You Wanted to Feel Like a Rock Star.
You Wanted to Make Sure That Your Body’s Delicate System
Balance Was In-Line.

The ‘Monster’ Inside You: Bloated


Gut Syndrome
The mainstream “American diet” has
led to an epidemic of chronic
inflammation—the underlying cause
of diseases like obesity, cancer,
heart disease, allergies, asthma,
arthritis, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s.
We often hear about inflammation

26
as being a good thing, quoting the textbook definition as: “A
part of the body’s defense against bacteria and viruses;
Inflammation is also involved in the normal healing process.”
For example, when you cut your finger, your body sends
white blood cells, macrophages, or “soldier cells,” to the
injury site, to fight off harmful bacteria entering your
system. Usually the area on your finger becomes red and
swollen, but what happens after a few days? The swelling
goes away and your finger turns back to its original color.
This is known as “acute inflammation,” which is an integral
part of our body’s healing system.

Chronic inflammation, however,


does not behave like the acute
inflammation that protects and
heals your body. Instead, it acts
to breakdown our own cells. In
their quest to fight off foreign
invaders, those same “soldier
cells” actually turn the body on
itself, telling blood vessels to

thicken, causing blood cells to get tacky (clogging arteries)


and scar tissue to form, decreasing the functionality of key
organs. Even worse, according to Peter Libby - Chief of the
Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Brigham and
Women’s Hospital in Boston and a professor at Harvard
Medical School - fat cells (especially visceral fat) “act like
27
small factories to churn out molecules” key molecules that
set chronic inflammation into motion. Interestingly enough,
this visceral fat is linked to increased levels of an important
inflammatory molecule, interleukin-6 (IL-6). Luigi Fontana,
M.D., Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Washington
University in St. Louis, stated that high levels of IL-6 in the
“portal vein” (the vein that circulates blood to the liver from
the spleen, stomach, pancreas, and intestines), strongly
correlates with higher concentrations of an inflammatory
substance called C-reactive protein (CRP) in the body.
Samuel Klein, M.D., the Danforth Professor of Medicine and
Nutritional Science, is quoted as saying, that data supports
“the notion that visceral fat produces inflammatory
cytokines that contribute to insulin resistance and
cardiovascular disease.” In essence, as the autoimmune
inflammation gets worse, fat cells become not just storage
houses, but also little inflammation factories causing more
inflammation and even more devastating side effects.

According Lisa M. Davis, PhD (in accordance with Johns


Hopkins School of Public Health’s Center for Human
Nutrition) ongoing inflammation is one of the reasons that
seemingly healthy people develop heart disease and
diabetes, and experts estimate that chronic inflammation
may be behind 15 percent of all cancers.

28
The silent killer has also been linked to autoimmune
diseases, prevalent in women, such as rheumatoid arthritis,
lupus, and thyroid deficiency. Specific plants and plant-
based products like antioxidants and polyphenols have been
used to reduce inflammation, stimulate health, and promote
energetic performance in various cultures and religions for
centuries. Unfortunately, our “first-world diet” filled with
pollutants, genetically modified foods, pesticides, refined
sugars, harmful preservatives, and toxic chemicals, has
created a population riddled with disease. It’s time to
combat the problem head on.

DINNER DAY 9

This nutritious dinner option can be prepared ahead of time, and taken on the go. Sweet potatoes
provide 218% of the RDA for vitamin A, and have been well studied for both cooling already-
existing inflammation, and preventing future inflammation. Get creative with this recipe and
experiment with your favorite fillings.

SWEET POTATO TACO:


INGREDIENTS
• 1 medium sweet potato
• 4-6 oz. grass fed ground beef
• ½ bell pepper, chopped

BREAKFAST DAY 10

Good quality yogurt (not the kind packed with added sugars) is an excellent way to decrease gut
inflammation, as it is an excellent source of probiotics (good bacteria). Opt for a Greek, plain option,
and add your own flavors. Cinnamon adds an extra blood sugar balancing benefit, too.

CRACKING THE WEIGHT LOSS CODE

You finished your MetaSlim days... Bravo!

I knew you could do it. You should be proud of yourself AND you
should be feeling better and lighter than you did before you started.
Before we get to the surprisingly simple way anyone can rapidly
accelerate weight loss, let’s cut to the truth about losing weight.
There may be no other industry in the world more confusing or
contradictory than the diet and fitness industry.

Ask 10 “experts” for the “secret” to losing weight and you’re likely to
get ten different answers. So who’s right? Who’s wrong? And how
do you know? Diet and fitness is a multi-billion dollar industry that
spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year in their never-
ending effort to sell us the “quick and simple” solution to ending our
weight loss problems forever.

To be sure, some of these solutions really can help you lose weight
permanently. Others may help you drop a few pounds quickly only
to see the weight come back because they’re designed to produce
short term results. And some of them simply don’t work at all. The
purpose of this chapter is to cut through all the confusion and
contradiction and give you something simple that actually works! Of
course it all comes down to diet and exercise. Without a doubt
exercise is important to overall health....

However, you may be surprised to discover that diet is actually


more important than exercise.

53
As the saying goes: “You can’t out-train a bad diet.” Why? Because
while a calorie may be a calorie, the source of the calorie (the food
you eat) can make all the difference in the world – especially when
it comes to shredding fat and shedding pounds.

Our bodies need protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Yet not all carbs,
proteins, and fats are equal – not even close. There are good and
bad sources of all these nutrients. Take carbs for example. Fresh,
natural and organic fruits and vegetables are the best source of
carbs.

Yet the typical person loads up on bad sources of carbohydrates -


specifically processed junk foods like french fries, potato chips, and
pastas for example. The same is true for proteins and fats. Many
people don’t realize your body actually needs fat. Or that eating the
right fats can actually help you lose weight.

Healthy fats are found in foods like avocados, olives, olive and
coconut oils, and nuts for example. Think about it. You could eat all
the spinach, kale, and broccoli you want and have a hard time
gaining any weight even if you weren’t working out on a regular
basis. On the other hand, if you’re constantly loading up on
cheeseburgers, French fries, pizza, soda pop, and other staples of
the typical diet, you’ll have a hard time losing weight no matter how
much you exercise.

You can enjoy these foods in moderate amounts without feeling


guilty, but the typical person eats too much of these processed
carbohydrates and packs on pounds as a result.

54
THAT'S WHY YOU CANNOT
OUT-TRAIN A BAD DIET

On the other hand, depending on your personal situation you could


easily drop 10 to 20 pounds in a few weeks by doing nothing more
than making a few simple changes to the food you eat. That’s why I
want to focus this chapter on food and highlight the importance of
what you put in your body.

Now, if you’re expecting me to place all the blame on any single


food or group of foods as the sole culprit for weight gain, I’m sorry
to disappoint you but that simply isn’t the case. We do not simply
gain fat by eating carbs and fats. It’s not that simple. The truth is a
bit more complex.

We gain weight by repeatedly eating too much over a long period of


time. More specifically, by consuming more calories than our body
needs day after day. If you have excessive weight to lose you know
that weight did not just suddenly appear overnight, right?

It came gradually over days....weeks.... months... or even years. It


wasn’t one cupcake or one extra helping of lasagna. It was
repeatedly eating more sweets or snacks - even healthy foods than
your body needed for energy. The excess calories you consumed
over that long period of time were stored as fat and resulted in
weight gain.

55
Unfortunately, there is no “magic” overnight solution. And you
should run from anyone that claims to have a “magic pill” for losing
weight overnight.

Sure you may lose a few pounds quickly, but “pills” won’t work long-
term. The weight will come back, and that’s not what I want for you.
You deserve better than that. However, if you are smart about what
you eat – you can still enjoy an occasional hamburger, a slice of
pizza, or your favorite dessert while losing weight and more
importantly keeping the weight off.

It all comes down to understanding that all foods are NOT created
equal. Some foods are better for weight loss than others. The key is
understanding which foods accelerate your weight loss and produce
the quickest results.

56
THE METASLIM TRIFECTA
Did you know toxins and impurities in the body can actually make you (and
keep you) fat?

Toxins have been linked to increased inflammatory response which can


affect hormonal balance including insulin and leptin levels. This affects your
appetite and how your body processes and stores sugar. Toxins can also
inhibit how your body breaks down and burns fat, also known as fatty acid
oxidation and thermogenesis. 1

But there are powerful, all natural superfoods that have surprising cleansing
effects. I discovered 3 specific superfoods that are unmatched in their ability
to cleanse the body of harmful toxins.

Not only do these supreme superfoods gently and effectively cleanse your
system, they boost your metabolism and turn your body into a fat burning
machine meaning you can lose excess weight faster than you ever thought
possible!

These MetaSlim foods are so simple yet remarkable, I’m honestly shocked
they’re still such a well kept secret… but not anymore!

You’re about to discover the little known slimming superfoods and spices
that increase your energy and vitality levels helping you look and feel like
you did 10, 15 even 20 years ago… and practically overnight!

Follow these super easy steps I’m about to share and you’ll be shocked at
how quickly you can shed pounds and shred fat… plus you don’t have to feel
guilty about the occasional indulgence. That’s right, you don’t have to
completely give up on all the delicious foods that you love like a slice of pizza
or a juicy hamburger and fries... so let’s get right into it!

feel happier. It also has been linked to reducing PMS symptoms, and
promotes an overall sense of wellbeing.

• Endorphins: Cacao stimulates the secretion of endorphins, producing a


pleasurable sensation similar to a ‘runner’s high’ a jogger feels after running
several miles.

59
• Anandamide: Anandamide is known as the ‘bliss chemical’. Cacao
(chocolate) contains both N-Acylethanolamines, believed to temporarily
increase the levels of anandamide in the brain which promotes relaxation,
7
and helps us feel good longer.

• Essential Minerals: Cacao beans are rich in a number of essential


minerals, including sulfur, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium and
magnesium.

• Magnesium: Cacao could be the world’s #1 source of magnesium.


Magnesium balances brain chemistry, builds strong bones, and helps
regulate heartbeat and blood pressure. Magnesium deficiency, present in
70-80% of people, is linked with regulating blood pressure, blood sugar,
heart rate and nerve transmission.8

• Sulfur: Cacao is high in the ‘beauty mineral’ sulfur. Sulfur builds strong
nails and hair, promotes beautiful skin, detoxifies the liver, and supports
healthy pancreas functioning.

• Essential Fats: Some say chocolate is fattening. In truth, the fats in cocoa
butter are actually healthy fats. Cacao contains oleic acid, a heart-healthy
monounsaturated fat, also found in olive oil that may raise good
cholesterol.

• Appetite Suppressant: Yes, that’s right! Raw chocolate actually has


appetite suppressant properties and often added to weight loss products to
help control hunger!

• Aphrodisiac: Chocolate has long been the food for lovers dating back
thousands of years to the ancient Aztecs and is a symbol of sensuality.9

the tiniest organisms found on
earth it’s one of the most nutrient
dense foods on the planet and
packs one of the biggest punches
against unwanted fat! Chlorella is a microscopic, single-celled,
tasteless blue-green algae that lives in freshwater. Some people
think Chlorella and Spirulina are the same thing, since they’re
both in the algae family, however the big difference is that
Chlorella has a higher content of omega-3 fatty acids.10 Chlorella
is revered as a rare super food and natural medicine. More
importantly, scientists have shown chlorella to be enormously
beneficial in weight loss and many other aspects of good overall
health. Studies have shown Chlorella may help combat weight

reduce the inflammatory response.11 The Journal of Medicinal
Food reported a study that showed a noticeable improvement
in “fat metabolism and insulin signaling pathways” in
participants with greater Chlorella intake.12

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I am a Vegan/Vegetarian.
A: Not a problem! We now have a guide that you can find on the main
dashboard page to assist you in modifying these recipes according to your
needs. Or, click here to access the Substitution List.

Q: The “Shots” Are Way Too Spicy. Can I Adjust the ingredients?
A: First, we suggest diluting it with water! If that still doesn't help, then you
can try cutting the ingredients in half in order to stomach the spice. Cut
down to small amounts and see what agrees with you the best.

Q: I love the elixirs! Can I keep taking them even after completing the
Belly Blaster?
A: Yes! You can continue the elixirs as long as you'd like. They're great for
cleansing. However, no more than 2 a day, morning and night.

Q: I Am Having Gas/Am Feeling Bloated. Is This Normal?


A: Yes, in the first couple of days (within the detox period), digestive side
effects include bloating, cramping, and flatulence. The degree of gas,
bloating, and cramping you undergo during a detox cleanse depends on the
overall condition of your colon and how you ate prior to engaging in the
detox diet. To decrease symptoms, try consuming ginger root (tea or
capsule).

Q: Will My Face Break Out During Detoxing?


A: You may notice an increase in breakouts during the beginning periods of
the detox, particularly if you are not having regular bowel movements. The
skin is the body’s largest organ and one of the most prominent avenues
that the body will use to get rid of waste products, especially if they’re not
leaving fast enough through the colon or the kidneys (i.e. constipation).
These symptoms will subside as your body releases toxins, usually within
2-3 days.

65
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I Am On Day 3 And I Feel A Bit Lethargic. What Should I Do?


A: Depending on your normal diet, feeling lethargic within the detox period
is normal. This is your body adjusting to a cleaner and less processed diet.
You will feel these effects even more if you were consuming large amount
of sugar and/or processed foods prior to the MetaBoost Connection.

Q. How Much Water Should I Be Drinking?


A: Please try and drink a minimum of 6 to 8 – 8oz. glasses of water a day to
ensure that you are hydrated. Depending on your activity level and heat
exposure, this may vary.

Q. I Didn’t Complete The Program, Can I Start Over?


A: You are human, right??? The important thing is that you get back to it.
The MetaBoost Connection is most effective when used for 10-consecutive
days, however, even if you just implement some of these recipes into your
life, you WILL see and feel a difference.
