Product Description
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 ignite the natural fat-burning furnaces that lie dormant within us. Drawing on the cutting-edge science of nutrigenomics -- how food talks to our genes -- Dr. Mark Hyman has created a way of losing weight by eating the right foods, which in turn sends the right messages to our bodies. In this easy-to-follow eight-week plan based on each individual's unique genetic needs, Dr. Hyman explains how to customize your personal weight-loss program with menus, recipes, shopping lists, and recommendations for supplements and exercise. Ultimately, you will rebalance and stabilize your metabolism -- an UltraMetabolism -- to maintain weight loss and enjoy lifelong health.

This is a great book with lots of valuable information in it. Dr Hyman is right on target. Everything he says makes sense.

This book is highly theoretical. I presume the author believes that humans can no longer evolve. We have certainly evolved to eat everything Dr. Hyman says to eat...many years ago. But how about now? What's to say our bodies can't accept new types of food? If you want results, exercise is still a quick way to receive them. It's also healthy for you in many areas of your physiology. I did get some good pointers for supplements. But I think that's it. Again, purely theoretical writing on Dr. Hyman's part.

Wealth of information & entertaining too by Bob Dylan Fan (SF Bay Area, CA)

Found this book to be one of the best about diet / exercise and how to reverse insulin resistance. I was insulin resistant and pre-diabetic, and followed this books' guidelines starting last August. By December, I had lost 30 pounds and reversed the pre-diabetes. Then, I kept with the exercise plan but got adventurous with my diet. Sure enough, I gained back 20 pounds. Now I will go back on this diet again. Hopefully it works just as well the 2nd time around! BTW, before going with UltraMetabolism for the 2nd time, I will give the Eades' new diet a try, called "The 6 week cure". Strangely enough, the 6 week cure has alot in common with ultrametabolism with regards to metabolism, liver health, inflammation, etc... I would say ultrametabolism was well ahead of the Eades on this one! The book is a wealth of information and has some very good recipes too. It is also has very nice guides about how to get started, how & what supplements to take, where to get them, etc... Highly recommended.
