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. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Missing the pointAfter reading about 50% of the reviews here, I think a lot of people are missing the point of this book. It isn't to lose weight. It's not a diet plan, fad or otherwise, and if you come to it with the sole intention of losing weight you may be disappointed.

I went on the 3-week 'detox' diet and missed out on social occassions to follow my strict no-dariy, no-wheat, no-sugar, no-alcohol, no-red meat, no-caffeine (and I loved my morning tea) diet. I lost not one pound. A full third of the book is recipes, and pretty exotic ones at that. I had to drive 60 miles to get the ingredients. I guess my problem was not ... Read More Rating: - UltrametabolismThis is an excellent dietary plan for those wanting to lose weight and move to a healthy eating style. Although not easy to do, this book gives you a very common sense plan to move to a new view of food and how nutrition plays in your life. Along the way you lose weight too!!! Rating:  - Ultrametabolism reviewThis book provides a lot more details on the actual steps to take that Dr. Hyman discusses in the Ultraprevention. There are some great recipes. I found this book to be extremely helpful in adopting many of Dr. Hyman's recommendations. Rating: - ultrametabolismVery informative and in some cases, suprising information. I am recommending this book to my friends. It was recommended to my by a nurse practitioner, who got the suggestion from a retired doctor, who is a patient. This is an Amazon verified review.
