Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to count points, eat pre-packaged meals or get shots?
No. BalanceDiet™ teaches you how to safely and naturally use regular food to reach and maintain your ideal weight. Many clients appreciate the ease of our program, and the ability to learn how to eat and also prepare foods for their families for a lifetime of good health. We do offer pre-packaged snacks and low calorie meal replacements (an optional add-on) for clients who are looking for a complete food program.
Do BalanceDiet products contain GMO ingredients?
GMO (Genetically modified ingredients) have been a source of concern for a growing number of consumers.
Consumers are asking for products which may contain GMO ingredients to be labeled as such.
As health professionals, this is an issue that we must be aware of and understand how to address.
Below is a statment from our product manufacturer.
At the present time, we have certified that no supplement containing the BalanceDiet mark contains any GMO ingredients.
We are consulting with manufacturers to begin adding the "NON GMO Verified" seal to product labels in 2016 and beyond.
What if I have medical concerns?
As with any weight loss plan, it’s always important to check with your physician first. As a new client, you can request that your plan be reviewed by BalanceDiet’s™ licensed nutritionist. We can even work with your personal physician to ensure that your plan is safe and appropriate for you. Persons with diabetes should not purchase Carb Blocker without consulting their physicial.
