Ultra-Metabolism by Mark Hyman (2006, Hardcover)

his is a great book. If you can put this into practice, you WILL see results. To get any great result with your weight loss, you do need to do work and this is a helpful tool in that area. It opens your eyes to ways to lift your metabolism that you may not have thought of before or known about - but now that you do, you can start to change. While it's ultimately aiming at a 'diet' it's focusing on raising your metabolism which helps you burn calories at a high rate - so not only will you loose weight from eating the right foods etc, but the weight lose will happen faster and in a more healthy way because your metabolism is now boosted and is working for you even when you are resting.Most people have noticed a big difference not only in physical appearance but in day to day health. This helped me not be as reliant on Coca Cola to give me my caffiene fix and I'm sleeping better at night.

UltraMetabolism presents some good solid principles. There are interesting facts regarding processing of ingredients which will make you want to read the the labels on a more regular basis. If you only follow one or two of the recommendations you will lose weight. Dr. Hyman presents an excellent game plan--it's still up to you to execute it. Buy this book just don't pay more than $20.00 for it.

I really liked the scientific evidence and the logic used in writing this book. It was very interesting and had some new information about the way our metabolism works etc... The problem is that the diet is very hard to follow, especially the detox. If you are prepared to eat fish, nuts and some random things from Henry's market, or the like, then I would recommend this book. If you have kids like I do, and if you want to eat a little dairy or a little carbs etc... this is not for you.

I am amazed at how healthy I feel using Dr Hyman's food plan and discovered what foods I can not eat due to alergies. I am losing weight, slowly, but do not feel deprived and so much more energy. I recommend this book to all who wish to be healthy for the rest of their life, as this is a life change not a quick fix.

This is an excellent book, very current with lots of practical tips and suggestions for self evaluation for health issues associated with obseity.

Healthy eating is the key. This book brings current reserach together into one resource. Well researched and good literature support.

This is an excellent book. Thought provoking in manners of health and wellbeing. I have personally implemented some changes and have had positive results. I will recommend this book to all my clients. I would like to have it on audio cd to listen in my car. Dr. Hyman is also a dynamic speaker.
In this day and age of fast food, processed and chemically altered foods, pollution, toxins, cancers and morbid obesity.............I can finally see all the pieces of the puzzle now. The FDA does not have my best interest at heart, nor do the drug companies. Thank you for opening my eyes Dr. Hyman.

I'm extremely disappointed. This seller was no longer an ebay seller, however, was listed as one. I bid and supposedly won the book, only to find out that this seller was not an authorized seller.

I think that items of sellers who are no longer authorized should be removed from the open items listing.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. It weeds through the reasons why the fad diets don't work and uses both medical research, complementary health, nutrition and biochemistry to convince you how feed your body properly. As a nurse and a previous yo-yo dieter, this book will outline not only what to eat but WHY. It does a thorough job of showing you how our modern way of eating does not meet our primal needs. Get ready to throw out the stuff that has been holding you back from losing weight and then eating as much as you want of whole, tasty foods.

Book started great - information about how food affects body systems. Uses a plethora of research to support his theories - until, that is, he gets to the part of environmental toxins and endocrine system. I actually checked out this information with a European endrocrinologist who did not support his theories. So, if you can weed out the truths from the personal opinions (which are not entirely evident), it is a good book.

As one of countless Americans who are seeking support for weight loss, I bought this book upon a recommendation from a friend. She had not adapted the dietary concepts from the book looking for a way to lose weight, but to improve her quality of life. First of all, the book is very well written, in a non-preaching style. It is logical, thought-provoking and definitely challenges one to think more about metabolism and its effect on the body, rather than just weight loss. I am much healthier now, more energized, am losing weight but not stressed by "counting calories", etc. I am very pleased that I chose to look for and purchase this book on e-Bay.

This book gave me great insight as to why I am having problems with my weight. It made a lot of sense. I really liked how the book explained how food works in the body. I even got mad when I found out how the fast food people just want to keep in business instead of providing heathy choices.

This is a great nutrition book. There were a lot of hidden ingredients in food that I had no idea affected my health. I would recomend it to my friends.

Love this book would buy from this seller again...............................................................................................................................................................................................................

I had purchased this book in the past. I had a large cyst in the left lobe of my liver. After surgery the lobe did not regenerate and the right lobe is diffusely fatty. The only way to reverse this condition is to lose weight. After losing 34 pounds over a year following Mr. Hyman's plan, I then passed the book on to a friend. I kept the weight off for a year. I then developed thyroid cancer and did a large amount of eating "evil food" because of stress. I am now in remission and know I have to lose weight again and treat my body as a temple physically and spiritually.

Icould I return it? ordered it but then found out from a friend I really did not need it. Sorry could I return it? I will probably order again Thank Your

My doctor recommended this book to me and (although I have note completed it yet) I think it has great information that is both logical and do-able. It gives a great deal of technical information -- in simple terms -- on how the body uses the food/fuel and I think that understanding how and why things happen will help me implement some good changes into my life.

It was fantastic. It was sent immediately. It was brand new just
like the store and the seller travelingguy1 (0) even added more
postage and didn't charge. Hope to buy more books from him.

I decided to purchase Mark Hyman's book because of good hype advertising and the fact that I need to loose weight for med reasons. Not completely through with it yet but there are valid statements in it and I plan on finsihing it.

I am anxious to read and put the book to work for me. From everything I have heard and seen on this, makes it seem like a the lifestyle change for me.

I received the book in a short span of time. The book, Ultra-Metabolism was in excellent condition without a mark on it. There were no folded pages nor highlighted marks. It was as stated in new condition. The book was received it in the properly allotted time. I would most likely buy from this seller again. This is all I have to say.

This book gives a very good description of the metabolism process and how to change your eating habits to increase metabolism. I am still reading, but am very happy with the purchase I made. I had seen the book in a discount retailer and it looked very interesting.

Thank-you!

Excellent book, love it, it works...I have ulcerative colitis, not only did the book help me with my disease, it also helped me control my weight. My daughter also lives by it. it's like our bible. It's great and it works.

I never received this book. It was being sold by a crooked e-bayer and E-Bay refused to do anything about it. The last time I knew he had sold 180 books that he never sent. Ebay should be very proud of the fact that they let these crooks sell on ebay and won't do anything about it.
