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, rebalancing the metabolism, and stabilizing 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.

By Myself
Format:Hardcover
Mark Hyman deals with many myths associated with dieting and weight loss. He explains many not so obvious causes of gaining weight. He also reminds the reader of important rules to follow in order to keep not only thin but also healthy. All in all this is a good book for someone committed to losing weight and keeping it off. What I particularly liked about this book is its focus being shifted towards living healthy lifestyle. The author emphasizes the importance of cleansing the liver and detoxifying your whole body. This sounds to me like a revamp of the same good ideas so well presented in the book Can We Live 150 in which the author focuses exclusively on health and self-help (body cleansing, proper breathing, and using all the "natural doctors who are always with you"). Interestingly losing weight seems to be the natural outcome of one's healthy lifestyle. This has at least been so in my case.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Mark Hyman is an amazingly gifted doctor, he explains everything in the most simple way and makes you understand why specific kinds of food are unhealthy as well as the opposite. He is based on recent scientific research and actually proposes a variety of different supplements and natural remedies for every group of maladies. He even provides with thorough lists with suppliers of the products he believes are meeting his high standards. Basically this is a piece of work promoting natural healing through properly selected foods. This man shows us how to be healthy just by altering our diet. I strongly recommend this book to anyone that is interested on his/her health for life. This book is one of a kind

This is an interesting read. it approaches wait loss in a completely different way to the norm. Some interesting facts in here I have never heard of before. Having an underactive thyroid, I was unaware that it is effecter by chroline and flouride in domestic water. Funny the doctors I have spoken to have never mentioned it? I'm now filtering all my water so still too early to tell.
