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:

I shared it with a half a doz friends all of which are trying the diet too. My neighbor and I are taking turns cooking from it and then sharing the meals with each other. That way we don't have to cook every night of the week. This is really nice ...

Dr. Hyman's descriptions of the way our bodies react to different types of food made sense and helped me make a real change. I have not been following the strict diet plans outlined in the back of the book but I have incorporated his general advice into my diet and have tried a few of the recipes. By mostly eliminating "the white devil" and eating balanced ...
