Ultrametabolism.  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, Ultra Prevention, and The Ultra Simple 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 re balance and stabilise your metabolism to maintain weight loss and enjoy lifelong health.

This isn’t a fad diet. Dr. Hyman explains how to customise 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.

Dr. Atkins is dead and never before has this country been more suspicious of the fad “diet.” You can count calories till the cows come home and cry out over every carbohydrate, but NONE of these activities will you take off the pounds and keep your weight at a healthy level for life. In Ultrametabolism, Dr Mark Hyman uses the latest findings from the exploration of genetics to create a new science of weight loss. From the genetic research of the last few years, scientists have learned that food acts as “messages” or “signals” that activate and instruct the metabolism to function in a fast, healthy manner or a sluggish, sick one. Eat the right “messages” and you will maintain a lean, healthy body weight for life. Ultrametabolism includes a six-week programme of detox, re balancing the metabolism, and stabilising it for a life of healthy weight loss and maintenance. Menus and recipes created with a nutritionist from the famous Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires offer suggestions for the reader embarking on the plan.
