Ultrametabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss
About this product
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. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers describe this Mark Hyman book as an easy, fast read with practical advice and some readers report weight-loss benefits and feeling better after following it. A few reviewers praise the common-sense approach and say it helped them reboot their habits.
Goodreads reviews generally echo that it is straightforward, focused on whole foods, fruits and vegetables, and daily exercise, with readers noting that much of the advice is simple and familiar rather than revolutionary. WebMD’s review says the plan is easy to follow in theory and highlights its emphasis on cutting processed foods and refined carbs, while also noting that weight loss still depends on overall calorie balance.
On the web, review blogs describe it positively as a healthy-living guide, and book-related community pages include readers recommending it as a useful starting point for healthier eating. For YouTube, the search results surfaced real videos about the book, including an audiobook preview and a Mark Hyman book video.
