Synopsis

Bestselling author, columnist, and physician Mark Hyman, M.D., brings us a science-based, easy-to-follow diet and nutritional plan in UltraMetabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss.

For many, losing weight is a never-ending struggle, especially since our bodies are designed to keep weight on at all costs; it's a matter of survival. But a medical revolution is under way, showing us how to work with our bodies instead of against them to improve nutrition and ignite the natural fat-burning furnaces that lie dormant within us.

Drawing on cutting-edge research about nutrigenomics—the science of how food talks to our genes—Dr. Hyman, author of bestsellers including The Blood Sugar Solution, The Ultra-Mind Solution, UltraPrevention, and The UltraSimple Diet has created a method for losing weight by eating the right foods to detox and manage food allergies.

Food contains information and instructions for our bodies: eat the right foods and send instructions of weight loss and health; eat the wrong foods and send messages of weight gain and disease. After spending the last ten years conducting pioneering, hands-on research with over two thousand patients at Canyon Ranch, one of the world's leading health resorts, Dr. Hyman has discovered the seven fundamental causes of obesity. He has integrated his years of research into this groundbreaking approach to help you rebalance and stabilize your metabolism to maintain weight loss and enjoy lifelong health.

This isn’t a fad diet. Dr. Hyman explains how to customize your personal health and weight-loss program with a streamlined eight-week plan designed to help you lose weight based on your own unique genetic needs. Menus, recipes, and shopping lists, as well as recommendations for vitamins, supplements, and exercise will help you change your lifestyle and be healthy for years to come.

Goodreads review by Karen on March 12, 2017

I can't help but be a bit skeptical of an author who has a line of books and products with "Ultra-" in the name, and who has a website detailing the simple ways in which he has cured every illness in existence after all other doctors failed. But my doctor recommended this book, and I like her and wou......more

Goodreads review by Karen on June 24, 2008

Although the final advice of the book is nothing new-- eat fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, lean meats and avoid all the chemical crap-- I did find the discussions about different chemical sensitivities and allergies to be helpful. I also appreciated that the author put a lot of emphasis on o......more

Goodreads review by Shaun on July 23, 2019

Well, as it turns out Hyman's plan isn't so simple, but his book does give some good advice. He repeatedly reminds the reader that health isn't synonymous with weight and that weight loss isn't always just about calories in vs. calories out. For example, if you are thin and eating crappy processed f......more

Goodreads review by Mystie on April 19, 2011

MCL. skimmed. The first half of the book "debunked" all current weight loss theories, leaving you with Dr. Hyman as your only source for the true solution. I pretty much skipped all his debunking. His One True answer was actually seven potential answers, and it all boiled down to ensuring you didn't h......more

Goodreads review by Kristen on May 04, 2010

I am stuck trying to implement the plan in this book. While I don't feel like the book is layed out as a "simple plan" per se I do feel like the message is simple - eat veggies, fruits, nuts and legumes. Detox from all things with a label and stuff that causes food allergies such a dairy, sugar, whe......more
