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. I know how committed
you are to finally reclaiming your body.
I know you will be successful because you have gotten this far. Now,
with a little drive and determination... and a ton of love and a passion
to make a lasting change, it is 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!
This next step 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
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, get 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)! MetaClean 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 with me her struggle and
success with being 40+ and feeling tired, frustrated and ready to give
up hope on ever achieving weight loss at her age... and 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 would put most the
weight back on again.
Jill was doing a mix of
things: She did some juicing
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. She had the
determination and motivation, but not the correct information to help
4
her keep her metabolism revved up for continued weight loss.
This is when I met Jill. She started my system based on the right
combination of nutrition AND the right fitness routines targeted for
40+ women, and leaped over that weight hurdle with ease.
Even more eye-popping, is the inches Jill lost was off the notorious
problem areas for 40+ women... 6 inches off hips, 5 inches off waist,
3 inches off each thigh, and 1 inch off each arm. Simply remarkable,
and inspirational.
And guess what, not only did the fat melt off, but she developed
muscle tone.
Jill’s biggest tip: “Just keep at it!”
This MetaClean is 3 days. The first step already set the tone and
primed your body for this. I want you to feel pumped and ready.
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!

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 goal.
Also, remember to ‘listen’ to your body. 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 is suggested that you drink at least 6-8 oz. glasses of water each day.
This will help keep you hydrated, help keep your system running and
flushing out the 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 want
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 recently did
a 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.
7
The MetaClean Difference
MetaClean is not something you should fear, but something you
should look forward to.
Remember what we had talked about before?
On a daily basis we are not only exposed to environmental
pollutants, but ingest toxins as well (in the form of processed foods
and pesticides)!
An effective and sustainable body clarification is one that involves
fresh, organic and whole foods that promote health and wellness.
Some of these foods include things like:
• Spinach
• Arugula
• Radishes
• Berries
• Melons
• Grapes
• Tropical fruits like
pineapple and mango
• Dates
• Organic Chicken

MetaInfluencers - The Key Players
1. Avocado
2. Brazil Nuts
3. Chili Pepper
4. Cinnamon
5. Flaxseed
6. Ginger
7. Kale
8. Lentils
9. Turmeric
10. Wild Salmon
AVOCADOS
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 betasitosterol, which can effect
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 NUTS
Chalk full of the super mineral selenium, Brazil Nuts
have been researched at length and have been proven to
improve your sexual performance, protect against cancer,
boost your metabolism, and fight harmful inflammation.
Research notes that an influx of selenium into the body,
mainly selenoproteins, plays an important role in reducing inflammation,
10
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). Taking 13 seconds
out of your day, by eating 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 PEPPERS
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 anti-oxidants 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 form 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? 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.
11
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 benefit are more than superficial.
Kale is low in calories, but rich in iron. It helps speed up
metabolism as well as is a strong source of Vitamin K and
antioxidants, which aids in combating cancer and aging.
12
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 have also
virtually no fat or calories, yet being fiber-rich, make 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
anti-oxidant. Turmeric has been linked to prevent diseases
of the aging such as cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
According to resarch, Turmeric helps also increase bile which then aids in digestion
and helps emulsify fat and
speed up metabolism.
WILD SALMON
Wild salmon is lean protein source that is 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 Super Foods
Spirulina
an incredible super food that provides a concentrated source of
protein, vitamins, anitoxidants, and other nutrients.
Pea Protein
packed with branch chain amino acids. BCAAs help you lose weight
by keeping you full between meals.

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 why a MetaClean was 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
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.”
26
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 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.
27
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.
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.

You can eat this warm or chilled. My favorite is chilled. After I steam it, I then squeeze a fresh
lemon over it with a drizzle of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil, another MetaInfulencer!). Chill in
the fridge for 30-60 minutes, then enjoy!
Mid-Afternoon Snack:
• 1 apple (the green variety has less sugar) with 1 tbsp. almond butter
DINNER
35
Just 1 cup of Portobello mushroom contains 15 different minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients.
This creative and tasty recipe replaces inflammatory white bread typically used for hamburger
buns with a nutrient dense Portobello mushroom. Lower in carbohydrates and higher in antiinflammatory compounds.
SlimBurgers:
Patties
• ½ lb. lean grass-fed ground beef,
bison or organic ground turkey
• 1 egg
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
Mushroom “bun”
• 2 large Portobello mushrooms
• 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
The product images shown may represent the range of product, or be for illustration
purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product.
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, place your ground meat, egg, garlic, salt and pepper
and mix together thoroughly.
2. Form 2 patties and cook them either on a grill or in a sauté pan with just
a bit of coconut or olive oil.
3. Cook until done, about 4 minutes on each side.
4. Next, remove your mushroom stems and wash and dry the mushrooms.
Coat them in olive oil, salt and pepper and place it on a heated sauté pan
or grill, cooking for about 5 minutes on each side, or until soft.
5. Place your patties on top of the mushrooms, making two open faced
“burgers.” Add sliced tomato and lettuce if you’d like, and serve.
If you’re not a fan of portobellos, you can use large lettuce leaves (iceberg
or romaine) as your bun/wrap, as it gives it a nice crunch. If you’re looking to get the most
nutrient-dense lettuce, romaine has the highest levels of fiber, vitamin K, potassium, vitamin
C, folate, and beta carotene.

Day 6
BREAKFAST
Raw sauerkraut is essential for maintaining healthy levels of gut flora, as it is packed full of
probiotic bacteria. Including raw sauerkraut in your daily diet can make a huge difference in
levels of gut inflammation, and make a huge difference in your digestion.
Bavarian Eggs:
•
•
•
•
•
½ cup raw sauerkraut
Handful of mixed greens
½ avocado, sliced
1 tbsp. coconut oil
Salt and pepper to taste

whichever style you prefer. If eggs are
pasture raised, keep the yolks just a bit
runny for even more nutrient availability. Season with a bit of salt and
pepper.
2. Once eggs are cooked, simply serve with sauerkraut, greens and sliced
avocado. Simple and delicious!

Day 9
BREAKFAST
Contrary to popular belief, an organic and nitrate free sausage option can actually be a great
addition to an anti-inflammatory diet. Try a sausage made from organic chicken or grass fed beef,
which you can find at any local health food store or co-op that sells meat. A pre-packaged version
is Applegate Organics (only available in the US).

minutes before peeling.
2. Add all salad ingredients to a bowl with your chopped egg, and toss
together with oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

too.

This lunch is quick and easy, and the sides can be replaced with other fruits or veggies you have
on hand.

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 shortterm results but don’t work long term. 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.
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.
52
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.
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 get fat by eating carbs or fat.
It’s not that simple. The truth is a bit more complex.
53
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 or even healthy foods than your body needed for energy.
The excess calories you consumed over that long period of time is stored as
fat and results in weight gain. 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.

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
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 have 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!

function including heartbeat and blood pressure, lower LDL cholesterol,
6
which may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks.

you 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

57
• 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, and helps us feel good longer. 7
• Essential Minerals: Cacao beans are rich in a number of essential
minerals, including magnesium, 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

MetaSlim Superfood #2: Chlorella
What is Chlorella?
Even though Chlorella is one of 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 gain by supporting
the body’s detoxification process as well as reduce the
11
inflammatory response. The Journal of Medicinal Food
reported a study that showed a noticeable improvement
in “fat metabolism and insulin signaling pathways” in
12
participants with greater Chlorella intake.

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.
Q: The “Shots” Are Way Too Spicy. Can I Adjust the ingredients?
A: Yes, you can cut 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 Am Having Gas/Am Feeling Bloated. Is This Normal?
A: Yes, in the first couple of days (within the detox period), digestiv seide
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 prio tro 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 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.
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.
63
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.
