Ultrametabolism

The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss

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.©2006 Mark Hyman, M.D. All rights reserved.; (P) 2006 Simon & Schuster Inc.

Loved this recording

This audio was very helpful in understanding the workings of the human body and how it metabolizes all of the toxins and poisons that are fed to it on a daily basis. A lot of great food for thought and actionable suggestions.

Nice read

I am glad I listened to this book. Although there are no ground breaking findings in it - it would be difficult to say anything new about food - the connections the author makes are very interesting. There are many examples of how certain food influences our health and weight, that are so obvious when you hear it, yet they never occurrent to me before. Credits worth spend on this one.

Très intéressant!

Ce livre est très intéressant. Il est facile à écouter et donne de bons conseils pour booster notre métabolisme. Il n'y a pas trop de termes techniques qui rendraient l'écoute de ce titre anglophone difficile pour une francophone. Si vous avez une bonne base en anglais, vous pourrez vous y retrouver assez aisément. Les documents disponibles (1 fourni, 1 sur internet) sont vraiment aidants et appréciés.

Sound advice. A doctor at cutting edge of research

no nonsense factual approach to loosing weight the sound way. Good for someone who has done a bit of reading on the subject of nutrition. Good voice to listen to.
