Traditional Balance for Life Cuisine

All meals are served buffet-style to remove the need for snacking, and to allow for a 13-hour fast between dinner and breakfast to promote weight loss. All food at Balance for Life is prepared without added sugars, salt, chemicals, or oils. All meals include water to drink.

Breakfast

Lunch

Dinner

  • Brussel sprouts
  • Baked sweet potatoes

Water-Only Fasting

Currently, Balance for Life is one of only two diet retreats in the United States to offer fully supervised water-only fasting. The premise of this program is to reduce caloric intake (guests eat nothing and drink nothing but water during this fast) and promote weight loss and digestive cleanliness.

Guests who wish to participate in water-only fasting must have a phone consultation with Balance for Life’s director, Dr. Sabatino, before participating in this program.

Juicing Cleanse

Balance for Life also offers guests the option to participate in a monitored juice cleanse during their stay. Structured for the individual and their needs, this cleanse is meant to help promote weight loss and provide the participants with more energy. Like the Water-Only Fasting, guests who wish to partake in a juicing cleanse must complete a phone consultation with Dr. Sabatino before participating.
