Has anyone tried Metabolic Renewal?

"No matter what I do," means...what exactly? How long have you been logging food and staying in calories?

There is a calorie amount that will have you losing weight. I'm post menopause and I lost the belly. It can be done, just log food and stay in calories. Easy peasy.

I wouldn't pay for a "program" when I can do it myself. Just my take on it.

Here's another thread on the topic: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10745668/metabolic-renewal-program-anyone-try-it

I'll quote myself from that thread:

Just increasing exercise is the safest, cheapest, and arguably best way to "improve metabolism."

From a marketing perspective, this is an excellent pitch:

Where your weight "settles" isn't something you can change, and the less you have to lose, the slower it will come off. My whole family runs to pear-shaped--when we gain weight, it's mostly at or below the waist.

Someone asked me yesterday how I'd lost weight in the last couple of years. When I told her "I ate less and exercised more," she looked a little crestfallen, but that's what it comes down to.

I remember one time I had a juvenile patient in a clinic I worked at, and he was brought in by a "boot camp" counselor as he was in a residential program for troubled teens. The counselor and the kid were discussing his weight loss efforts. I offered that I had lost 50 pounds in six months, and he asked how I did it. I said, "The slow, hard way that actually works." He responded, "What's that?" And I told him, "Exercising and tracking what my food to make sure I eat fewer calories than I burn." He was very unhappy with that answer. Even at 14, he's been well-trained by the culture to look for quick fixes.

As to Jade Teta, he's an ND, which stands for Not a Doctor.
