The Eve Biology 28 Day Reset is a structured meal replacement diet plan designed differently. A simple, structured approach to nutrition, energy, and appetite balance in midlife. Extremes, rigid
rules, low flexibility and approaches that have no knowledge of what life looks like for women over 40 or how or midlife physiology actually works.

Over time, that leads to cycles of starting over, rather than sustainable change.The Eve Biology 28-Day Reset is designed differently. It's not a coached programme or 'transformation' system.

It's a structured nutrition framework that removes daily guesswork and makes nutritional consistency easier to maintain. With that framework comes the support to help you feel more energised and in control.

Why Weight Loss Gets Harder After 40

As hormone levels shift during perimenopause and menopause, the body stops responding the way it did before hormones started fluctuating. This means traditional diets stop working like they once did.

More sensitive to blood sugar fluctuations
More likely to store weight around the middle
Less efficient at maintaining muscle mass
More affected by stress and poor sleep
MENOPAUSE WEIGHT GAIN

"Why is the weight going to my middle? Changes in body shape are really common in midlife. As hormone levels shift, particularly oestrogen, it's normal for weight to move from areas like the hips and thighs more towards the middle. At the same time, changes in insulin sensitivity, stress levels, and a gradual loss of muscle can make it easier to store fat in this area. "

How the 28 Day Reset Works

The 28-Day Reset provides a simple daily structure using meal replacement shakes alongside whole food meals.

It's designed to be followed independently, at your own pace, within your own routine.

The aim is not to control your behaviour, but to reduce the number of decisions you need to make around food each day.

A typical approach may include:

  • One or two meal replacement shakes per day
  • One balanced whole food meal
  • One additional flexible meal or snack depending on preference

Rather than strict phases or required progression, many women simply use the structure to simplify their daily eating pattern and support consistency.

01

Replace 1 or 2 meals

Use nutritionally balanced meal replacement shakes to simplify daily food decisions.

02

Eat balanced wholefood meals

Use simple hormone-aware meal structure built around protein, fibre, and steady energy support.

03

Repeat Consistently

No calorie counting. No complicated rules. Just a realistic framework designed to fit everyday life.

""For many women in midlife, protein needs do increase. As we get older, the body becomes less efficient at using protein to maintain muscle, which is why it becomes more important to include it regularly."

"Carbs increase insulin ( all carbs break down into glucose) Insulin is a fat storage hormone but also dramatically affects leptin and ghrelin so when we lower carbs, avoiding processed foods and inflammatory seed oils we balance the other hormones."

What To Eat Around The Shakes

The effectiveness of a structured meal replacement approach depends on overall dietary balance, not just the shakes themselves.

Balanced meals typically include:

  • Protein (eggs, chicken, fish, yoghurt, beans)
  • Fibre (vegetables, berries, legumes, oats)
  • Healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, nuts)
  • Slow-release carbohydrates (quinoa, brown rice, sweet potato)

Claire also notes the role of the liver in hormonal balance:

“Your liver helps clear hormones including oestrogen. Supporting it doesn’t need to be complicated — include protein regularly, leafy greens, hydration, and antioxidant-rich foods.”

Some women also find that simple habits such as a short walk after meals can support digestion and energy stability.

These are supportive practices, can be easily implemented. no gym required.

Common Pitfalls To Be Aware Of

While a structured approach can be effective, there are a few common mistakes that can limit results:

1. Underestimating protein intake

Midlife bodies benefit from consistent protein intake to support muscle and satiety.

2.Low fibre intake

Fibre supports digestion, appetite regulation, and energy stability.

3. Choosing low-quality meal replacements

Not all products are nutritionally balanced or designed for sustained use.

4. Expecting rapid or linear results

Progress varies between individuals and is influenced by many factors beyond diet alone.

The most sustainable results tend to come from consistency over time rather than intensity.

Within 2 weeks of starting 2 shakes daily my brain fog had GONE. I don't mean it had reduced I mean it had completely gone. I felt clear headed for the first time in as long as can remember and with that my confidence returned. If you you're in perimenopause or menopause give these a try I can't recommend them enough.

A Simple Way To Reset Your Nutrition

If weight loss has felt more difficult in recent years and your body seems to have a mind of its own, more often it reflects a mismatch between approach and physiology.

Highly restrictive diets and inconsistent eating patterns can make it harder to maintain stability over time.

28 Day Reset FAQs

How many pouches will I need for the 28 days?

You'll be doing the reset Monday to Friday for 4 weeks = 40 shakes. Each Eve shake contains 15 meals so 3 pouches.

Do I replace every meal?

No. You'll replace 1 or 2 meals based on your goals and activity levels. For weight loss you'll replace breakfast and lunch. For weight maintenance replace one meal a day. For the first week we suggest 2 shakes a day. This will significantly increase your protein, vitamins levels and fibre intake so you have a strong foundation for the program.

Absolutely. Our ingredients are balanced to target the common issues women experience when hormone levels change and symptoms kick in. High protein to support muscle mass - massively important now. Our meal replacement meets strict criteria for weight control. Our fibre has over 200 studies behind it.
