Product Description
From the Three-Time New York Times Bestselling Author of Ultraprevention, Ultrametabolism, and The Ultrasimple Diet In UltraMetabolism, Dr. Mark Hyman brought the new science of weight loss to the general public. By learning to work with the body instead of against it, you can ignite your natural fat-burning furnace and reprogram your body to burn fat and keep it off for good. Simply put, eat the right foods and send instructions of weight loss and health; eat the wrong foods and send messages of weight gain and disease. The UltraMetabolism Cookbook puts Ultra-Metabolism into overdrive with 200 convenient, easy-to-prepare, and, of course, delicious recipes for the right foods that will bring on a lifetime of good health and healthy weight. The first part of the book reacquaints the reader with the UltraMetabolism plan and then offers a wide variety of delicious, easily prepared dishes for both Phase I -- the three-week detoxification of your system -- and Phase II, which rebalances your metabolism in four weeks and offers the way to a healthy metabolism for life! Look your best, feel your best, perform at your best, and eat such fantastic meals as Roasted Shrimp, Turkey and Red Bean Chili, and Ratatouille. And that's just Phase I! As you progress through the UltraMetabolism plan and enter Phase II, you'll add satisfying, flavor-packed appetizers -- Curried Deviled Eggs with Cashews, anyone? -- as well as many more new salads, meats, fish, shellfish, soups, poultry, grains, vegetables, breakfast foods, and snacks. And there are lots of plant-based options and bean dishes for vegetarians. In addition to the clear, cutting-edge science and great recipes in The UltraMetabolism Cookbook, you'll find countless ideas of how to integrate the UltraMetabolism way of eating into your lifestyle, from quick weeknight suppers to entertaining and holiday meals.

Great Cookbook July 6, 2010 S. Powell (Elizabeth City, NC) This cookbook is great. I've only tried about 6 or 7 recipes so far, but they have been really good. It uses a lot of natural fresh herbs and it does have many recipes that require a grill but I've used a pan and things have come out just fine. I can't comment on the weight loss because I'm not using this book exclusively. Overall I think the recipes are delicious and I enjoy using fresh herbs and natural products.
Couldn't live without it now.. May 23, 2010 Kat 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I don't know where I've been without this diet and this cookbook.
I wake up feeling refreshed and "alive". I get to sleep easier than I ever have in my life. I no longer feel irritable after work if I've had a long day, it's as if my battery keeps going non-stop. I feel clear-headed, as if before this I was suffering from what Dr. Hyman called 'brain fog'. I have no more stomach pains or headaches and have lost all interest in every purchasing fast food again. (I tried 1/2 a cheeseburger from McDs after I finished the actual diet and my body felt terrible afterwards.) Processed food tastes so different now (if I ever snack on it, which is not often) because it tastes fake, salty, oily, and just plain gross. I am so used to eating whole, real foods that I don't feel cravings for other things. A craving for sugar sends me to the fruit basket and it's absolute heaven! (who thought a fresh mango would be as delicious as a bowl of ice cream?) These are only a handful of the pluses. I was very thin to begin with, I had started the diet just to feel better but I can see how easy it is to lose weight on it.
I highly recommend giving this book (and the original "ultra metabolism" book) a chance and trying things you could have never imagined yourself to, especially since the meals don't taste like diet food. There are grains out there like like Quinoa, Buckwheat, Amaranth, etc. that I've never heard of before this and are not absolute staples for my kitchen.
I've brought many recipes to family functions and people can hardly tell it's all 'healthy' stuff. (:
Here are a few of the recipes I've really enjoyed. (If you have purchased the book and made your own, could you include a list in your comment of the recipes you've liked/disliked as well?)
-Quinoa & Garbanzo Bean Salad *
-Roasted Tomato Soup
-Black Bean Soup
-Curried Waldorf Salad
-Grilled Shrimp Brochettes *
-Pan-Browned Tilapia
-Scallops Poached in Thai Coconut Curry Broth *
-Middle Eastern Lamb Patties *
-Grilled Ginger Herbed Chicken Breasts
-Turkey & Red Bean Chili *
-Chicken Cacciatore *
-Coconut Dal **
-Braised Kale w/Mushrooms
-Southwestern Corn & Black Bean Salad *
-Cajun Black-Eyed Peas
-Crispy Pan-Roasted Red Potatoes
-Roasted Sweet Potatoes (My FAVORITE!) ***
-Hot Buckwheat, Banana, Flax & Walnuts
-Apple-Walnut Amaranth
-Curried Deviled Eggs w/Cashews (I made this into an egg salad, yum)
-Cranberry-Apricot Bulgur Salad
-Cranberry-Apple Acorn Squash *

Excellant Recipes, Excellant Resource March 23, 2010 B. Correa (Central Texas) I love this book. Even if I choose not to do the diet, I love the receipes in this book and following them, I am on my way to eating healthy. And I feel better, just knowing that!
Great cookbook March 21, 2010 P. Harding (Florida, USA) I checked this book out of the library and liked some of the recipes so much I bought it. That way I have plenty of time to try more of them.
Love the recipes! January 19, 2010 Maureen Liwanag (San Diego, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been using the recipes from this book a couple of times a week and have always been impressed! So far I've made the Omelette, Braised Kale with Mushrooms, Herb Roasted Chicken, Super Bowl Sunday Dip, and many others I can't remember right now. I'm excited to cook other recipes. The only caution I would tell others is that you will be spending a little more for fresher food and organic ingredients which is a small price to pay for your health.
