FAQs
-
I am a vegetarian/pescetarian and don’t eat a lot of meat. Is the Eat Burn Sleep Lifestyle suitable for me?
Yes. If you are a pescetarian, that is completely fine - fish and seafood will provide enough animal protein (which is essential for an anti-inflammatory lifestyle). If you are vegetarian and you don’t eat fish or seafood, and you are willing to give it a try to lower your inflammation, we advise you to get the premium membership. This includes personalized advice for gradually reintroducing animal products into your diet.
-
I am strictly vegan and do not eat any animal products. Is the EBS Lifestyle suitable for me?
You can use the platform as a guideline to improve your gut flora and lower chronic inflammation. Some plant-based eaters suffer from IBS, low energy levels, and brain fog. The platform can be used as an educational resource to understand the benefits of the Eat Burn Sleep lifestyle. If you are considering reintroducing animal products into your diet, we advise you to get the premium membership, which includes personalized advice for gradually reintroducing animal products into your diet.
-
Do I need to cook while on the EBS Lifestyle?
Not necessarily. You can eat anywhere as long as you stick to the food lists. It doesn’t matter if the food you eat is not 100% compliant with the food lists. The EBS Lifestyle is based on an 80/20 rule, and it’s not about perfection but damage limitation.
-
I have health issues you do not mention. Is the EBS Lifestyle suitable for me?
Most non-communicable / non-transmissible diseases are linked to high levels of chronic inflammation.
Auto-immune issues, cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, depression, PCOS, Crohn’s, psoriasis, Hashimoto’s, Graves’ disease, eczema, diverticulitis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, anxiety, and more are linked to chronic inflammation.
If your suffering is linked to inflammation, the Six Week Reset and Lifestyle Guide can support you. However, these are not substitutes for medication, and you should always follow your doctor’s advice. -
Can you follow the EBS Lifestyle egg-free?
Yes. You do not have to eat eggs while on the EBS Lifestyle; there are other protein-based breakfast options. For all recipes containing eggs, you can replace them with flax eggs (1 tbsp of milled flax seeds mixed with 5 tbsp of water, one for each egg. Let it sit for 15 minutes and use each one for each egg in the baking recipes).
-
Is the EBS Lifestyle suitable for men?
Yes. Inflammation and gut health affect both men and women. Many men gain fat and experience infertility due to estrogen-mimicking substances around us and in the food we consume. The EBS Lifestyle helps with such issues and allows men and women to lower inflammation and achieve better body composition.
-
Does the EBS Lifestyle support healthy weight loss?
Yes. The EBS Lifestyle supports liver function and hormone regulation, which helps boost metabolism and creates healthy weight loss that lasts. A healthy liver function is crucial for weight loss as it regulates hormones. The lifestyle also helps stabilize insulin levels, supporting energy levels and curbing cravings. Finally, a healthy gut is key for sustainable weight loss. The EBS Lifestyle’s number one focus is gut health.
-
Does the EBS Lifestyle support healthy weight gain?
Yes. If you are experiencing poor absorption and digestion, preventing you from gaining a healthy weight, the EBS Lifestyle can help you. Improving your digestive system and gut flora can help you absorb food and gain healthy weight. Add snacks from the allowed food lists to help you achieve a healthy weight.
-
Can I purchase the membership and start it at a later time or do I have to start immediately?
You can start using the Eat Burn Sleep platform whenever you like. Do keep in mind that your annual membership is valid for 12 months after purchase. This means that if you buy the membership now and decide to start using the platform 6 months later, you will only have 6 months left on the platform.
-
Can you eat out while following the EBS Lifestyle?
Yes. There is an Eating Out section on the Eat Burn Sleep platform that will help you choose the best cuisines and the healthiest dishes on the menu when you are eating out.
-
I have a nut allergy. What can I use as a substitute in baking recipes?
If you are allergic to nuts or prefer not to use almond flour (or other nut flour) for any other reason, you can replace it with quinoa flour. As an example, 200g or 2 cups of almond flour can be replaced with 120g or 2 cups of quinoa flour. Another good alternative is tigernut flour.
-
Is alcohol allowed on Six Week Reset?
Yes. Alcohol is allowed from the second week of the Six Week Reset.

Stick to your doctor’s supplements advice.
-
Can I follow the EBS Lifestyle while breastfeeding?
You need to check with your doctor. If your doctor agrees, the EBS Lifestyle should be suitable for breastfeeding. Calorie restriction can impact milk supply so make sure to eat quantities according to your needs. Follow your doctor’s advice for the supplements. Regarding the exercise part, it is advised to not exercise postpartum until your doctor allows you to do so.
-
Can the EBS Lifestyle help improve fertility?
Many women and men use this lifestyle for fertility. Women then carry on during pregnancy and postpartum. There is a personalized advice section in the Premium Membership for Fertility (With or Without IVF). The Six Week Reset and EBS Lifestyle can help regulate hormones, which can improve fertility. It can help get rid of toxins which can support fertility and liver function, a key component of hormone regulation. Last but not least, high levels of chronic inflammation are linked to miscarriage.
-
Can the EBS Lifestyle be helpful when doing IVF?
Yes. High levels of chronic inflammation are linked to miscarriage. IVF imbalances hormones and the EBS Lifestyle can help with hormonal health and lower chronic inflammation. The Premium Membership has a personalized advice section for Fertility (With or Without IVF).
-
Do I need to cook different meals for the people living with me?
The EBS Lifestyle is not a diet so it is designed to be children and family-friendly. The people living with you will enjoy the recipes too!
-
Can I follow this lifestyle if I do not cook?
Absolutely! As long as you follow the food lists guidelines, this can really help you. Your meals do not have to be perfectly compliant as the EBS approach isn’t about perfection but about damage limitation. Make sure to follow the eating out guide.
-
Can I follow this lifestyle if I travel a lot?
Absolutely! As long as you follow the food list guidelines, this can help you. Your meals do not have to be perfectly compliant, as the EBS approach isn’t about perfection but damage limitation. Follow the eating out and travel personalized advice (Personalized Advice Section is available for premium members).
-
Is this lifestyle kids friendly?
All the recipes are family and friends friendly. I would not advise cutting out any food group from a child’s diet, but the recipes can be used to give children healthy options at home.
-
Will the platform be available in other languages?
Google Chrome translates the text; therefore, you can choose the language of your preference to read the text. The videos will still be available only in English.
-
Are strokes linked to inflammation? Can the EBS lifestyle help?
Yes. Chronic inflammation can lead to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and consequently increases the risk of strokes. Following an anti-inflammatory lifestyle can help soften the arteries and supports cardiovascular health.
