Ultrametabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss (Abridged)

by Mark Hyman MD Narrated by Mark Hyman

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

DEC 06/JAN 07 - AudioFile

An aging expert and editor of an alternative medicine journal says losing weight is a lifestyle decision that goes smoothly once you inform your eating decisions with the way your body really uses calories. Hyman is both relaxed and captivating as he refutes the common weight-loss myths that eating less and exercising more reduces weight, that all calories are created equal, that eating fats makes you fat, that reducing carbs makes you thin, and that skipping meals drops pounds. His explanation of these myths is credible and read with such natural enthusiasm that listeners will swear he’s talking extemporaneously. One CD contains printable details about his eight-week plan and other helpful information. T.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
