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 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.

saw this guy on Martha - sugar doesn't cause ADHD:
saw this guy on Martha - sugar doesn't cause ADHD he's not a good scientist. so many of the claims he makes are overblown to give heft to his arguments. too much extrapolation - takes a simple point or statement about one group and applies to everyone when not appropriate... finally, he presents NOTHING NEW in this book
No Worries:
The book arrived much faster then I predicted and in great shape - I have nothing negative to say - it was easy!
very empowering:
This book has changed my life. It has enlightened me. I am more aware of what I eat, how I eat and the nutrients of the food I eat. I lost about 15 pounds right away. I have since then gained a little back, but am in better shape and have more energy. I would recomend this book be a household staple.
Great tool:
The Ultrametbolism eating plan is pretty commonplace and straightforward. I found the section on weightloss myths very informative, but in my opinion, the most valuable part of the book are the keys to weightloss along with the quizzes to help you identify which ones may be an issue for you. Based on my quiz scores, I started taking the supplements recommended for that specific problem area, and with the help of the supplements, I was able to quickly break my sugar addiction and start losing weight... more info
