Metabolic programme

cellRESET

Four phases, real food, no meal replacement. At the heart of the programme are 28 days without the food groups most people struggle with. After that they come back step by step — and along the way you notice what agrees with you and what does not.

One thing I would rather say up front: shakes and protein drinks are not part of the activation phase. You cook for four weeks, you shop for yourself, and you go without a few things. If you do not want that or cannot manage it, do not start — that is not a threat, it is time saved for both of us.

The four phases

Phase 1

Preparation

14 to 30 days

You keep eating as before. This stretch is only about filling up your supply, building gut flora and getting familiar with the concept.

Phase 2

Activation

28 days

The strict part. Four meals a day, no salt, no sugar, no carbohydrates, no dairy apart from the morning yoghurt. White and green days only.

Phase 3

Stabilisation

at least 90 days

Now red days join in — birthdays, eating out, holidays. A white day balances each one out afterwards. This phase decides whether the result stays.

Phase 4

Lifestyle

ongoing

Not an end but the normal state. Two to four white days a month are enough to hold what you have learned. You can repeat the activation phase whenever you want.

White, green, red

So that you do not have to think it through at every meal, each day gets a colour. That is the whole trick: you decide once in the morning which colour the day has, and everything else follows from that.

White days

High in protein: white meat, fish, eggs, tofu. No salt, no sugar, no side dishes. The balancing day of the concept.

Green days

Plenty of vegetables and salad on top, good oils, one portion of fruit after the third meal. The normal case during the activation phase.

Red days

Celebrations, family, restaurants. Cake, bread, a glass of wine. Planned in from the stabilisation phase — not as a slip, but as part of the plan.

Why the activation phase is so strict

Those 28 days look like harassment at first glance. They are in fact the whole reason the programme exists. Look at what goes away during that time:

Grains — bread, pasta, rice, oats, so anything with gluten
Dairy — apart from the probiotic yoghurt in the morning
Pulses — beans, lentils, peas, chickpeas
Onions and leek — spring onions excepted
Sugar and sweeteners , processed food, ready meals

Those are exactly the groups many people have trouble with. They do not go one at a time but all together — and they return step by step during the stabilisation phase. Pay attention and you notice what you get along with and what less so. No brochure can tell you that and no test can do it for you; everyone finds it out on their own body.

Four weeks without anything processed

Put differently: during the activation phase nothing out of a packet reaches your plate. No sugar, no salt, no additives, no alcohol, no ready meals, no sweeteners. Only fresh ingredients that you buy and prepare yourself. For most people this is the first longer stretch in their life where they know exactly what is in every meal.

What this explicitly is not: a treatment or a cure. An allergy or a diagnosed intolerance does not disappear through a change of diet — anyone who has one must keep avoiding the trigger foods, during the programme and after it. If you suspect you do not tolerate something, have it examined, and by a doctor.

The rules of the activation phase

These are the points the concept stands or falls on. They sound fussy, but each of them has a reason — soften them and you get a different result.

Eat four times a day. Do not skip a meal even when you are full. Smaller portions instead.
Chew thoroughly. The manual says around 32 times per bite. Digestion begins in the mouth.
Do not drink with meals. Wait 15 to 20 minutes after eating before drinking again.
At least two litres of still water. Coffee and tea do not count towards it.
No salt, no sugar. Season with herbs and spices that carry no additives.
No onions, no leek. Spring onions are the exception.
No sport in the first week. After that the usual applies: moving is good for you.
No alcohol during the first activation phase.

What goes on the plate

During the activation phase

Poultry, beef and game, fish and seafood, eggs
Vegetarian: tofu, seitan, tempeh, lupin — unsalted in each case
Leaf salads, broccoli, asparagus, courgette, mushrooms, tomatoes, cabbage
Linseed, hemp and walnut oil cold; coconut and olive oil for frying
Almonds, unsalted — one portion is 30 grams
Probiotic yoghurt, but only in the morning as the first meal
Berries, citrus, apple, pear — one portion after the third meal

What stays away in that time

Grains: bread, pasta, rice, oats, muesli
Potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips
Pulses, sweetcorn
Sugar, sweets, soft drinks, including “sugar-free” ones
Dairy apart from the morning yoghurt
Bananas, pineapple, grapes, dates, dried fruit
Pork, sausage, ready meals, cashew nuts
Shakes and protein drinks

What goes with it

The concept runs on real food. Four products come along anyway — the emphasis is on the preparation phase, where you still eat normally and it is only about starting well supplied.

Optimal-Set

throughout, morning and evening

PowerCocktail in the morning, Restorate before sleep. The basic supply that runs unchanged through all four phases.^1, 2

See the Optimal-Set

D-Drink

14 days before the activation phase

One sachet (7 g) in 150 ml of still water, first thing in the morning. Only during those two weeks, not after.³

See the D-Drink

AntiOxy

from the preparation phase on

Once a day. Joins in during the preparation phase and stays for as long as you run the programme.⁴

See AntiOxy

Feel-Good Yoghurt

morning, as the first meal

Made at home rather than bought. During the activation phase the only dairy that is allowed — and only in the morning.⁵

See the Feel-Good Yoghurt

The two weeks before the start

Before the strict phase begins, the D-Drink runs for 14 days: first thing in the morning, one sachet (7 g) in 150 ml of still water, one portion a day. It contains choline.

“Choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function.”

After those 14 days the D-Drink is not continued; the two weeks are its entire purpose. Together with the Optimal-Set and AntiOxy that is the supply you enter the activation phase with.

How we start together

The manual is thorough, and that is exactly where most people fail: they read forty pages and never begin. So we go through it together once before you start — what you buy, what your first week looks like, and what you do when you eat out or get invited somewhere. After that you have a plan and do not need to look things up.

Ask me about the programme

If your goal is weight

Then this is not the right page. cellRESET answers the question of what you tolerate and what agrees with you. Anyone who wants to lose weight and hold the result afterwards belongs with the Metabolism Plan — there ProShape All-in-1 replaces individual meals, and the whole structure points at that one goal.

The two are not the hard and the easy version of the same programme. They answer different questions, and only you know which one is yours.

Before you begin

A metabolic programme is a marked change. If you take medication regularly, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are under medical treatment, talk to your doctor first and have them accompany you through the programme. That is not a formality — the manual itself points it out explicitly.

Food supplements are no substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of children.

1 Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxin), vitamin B12 (Cobalamin), and vitamin C contribute to normal psychological function. 2 Rich in vitamin B6 – contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Rich in vitamin C – contributes to maintaining the normal function of the immune system. 3 Choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function. Zinc contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism. 4 Selenium, vitamin E, and vitamin C contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Selenium and vitamin C contribute to the normal function of the immune system. 5 Calcium contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes. cellRESET® is a registered trademark. The programme and its manual are not mine; I describe here how it is built and accompany you while you put it into practice.

Worth knowing

You cannot order on this site. I inform and advise here — purchases are made exclusively through the official FitLine partner shop run by PM-International. You will find the current price there.

Cheaper on Autoship: ordering regularly costs around 10 % less in the FitLine Club, and considerably less again as a registered team partner. How that works is set out under Ordering, autoship and returns — or just ask me.

Not sure which of these fits you?

That is the normal case. Tell me how your day looks and I will sort it out with you — free of charge and without obligation.
