Ultra-Metabolism
Fine-tune your metabolism
BACKGROUND
If you're a dieting by-the-book type, then this read might be worth your time. Ultra-Metabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss, written by Dr. Mark Hyman, introduces his Seven Keys to Weight Loss. Based on Dr. Hyman's findings, he has discovered the way in which food communicates with our genes. This breakthrough finding is known as "nutrigenomics." By following the seven keys in Ultra-Metabolism and understanding the Seven Weight Loss Myths, you could be on your way to a healthier life.
Dr. Hyman explains his program, and nutrigenomics, quite simply. Your body and everything in it, namely your genes, operate via the information you give them. Each piece of food you eat sends a message to your body and your genes. Unhealthy, fast food, greasy junk is definitely sending your body the wrong message. This is why we're overweight, exhausted, lacking energy and experiencing many other health problems. But when we start sending our bodies positive messages through healthful eating packed with nutrients, our bodies respond by improved health, more energy and a slimmer figure.
The Seven Keys to Weight Loss in the Ultra-Metabolism program are:
- Control Your Appetite
- Limit Stress
- Cool the Fire of Inflammation
- Prevent Rust or Oxidative Stress
- Turn Calories to Energy
- Fortify Your Thyroid
- Love Your Liver
Dr. Hyman also presents in Ultra-Metabolism Seven Weight Loss Myths. By understanding these and incorporating these principals, you'll have a well-rounded plan for success. Some of these include debunking myths like "No- or Low-Carb will make you thin," "Skipping meals helps you lose weight," and "Eating fat makes you fat."
In the book you'll find the information and direction you need to get a handle on managing your weight and health once and for all. Both the Ultra-Metabolism book and website come complete with many tools including recipes, tips on exercise and supplements and even doctors who are recommended to help with weight loss.

I had success with this. I did not believe everything I read on his web, but I felt great on this, my b/p dropped incredibly fast and I was not hungry ~ at all.
One of my friends is following this program and has had wonderful results. I've just started it and, yes, it isn't easy to do. That's because our food factories aren't set up for health but rather for profit. I look forward seeing results like my friend.
He doesn't present anything particularly new although he does present a lot of things that have been tested and found true. I would say it definitely works. If it doesn't get your thyroid checked! Really good book and easy read.
Dr. Hyman book seems to repeat what a lot of other diet books have said
