Imagine that you could solve most of your health problems AND lose up 10 pounds in just 7 days.

That's an amazing claim -- but it IS possible.

And I'll tell you about how you may do just that in my new book, The UltraSimple Diet, in which I reveal this accelerated 7-day plan, and how you can get 3 free copies, in just a second.

I have seen this miracle occur so many times in my own patients, and now from all the people who have visited my website and posted their stories.

My true goal is to help people feel better. Period.

I know what it is like to wake up every morning feeling like you can't go on.

I know what it's like to have seemingly endless minor complaints that lower the capacity to enjoy life.

You see, I once was seriously ill with chronic fatigue syndrome.

But I changed my life and got better -- and you can, too.

Of course, with more serious illnesses like this, it may take more than one week to find the cause and the cure.

But don't give up.

With the system of UltraWellness and functional medicine, it is possible for people with chronic illness to get better over time.

==>  Now let's review what you've learned so far.

Now you know that the ONLY way to truly address and heal weight problems and disease is to get to the ROOT of the problem. You need to find the cause and then get rid of it and help the body heal. 

In my last two blogs, I told you about two major root causes of illness -- toxicity and inflammation.

But can you address these root causes in just 7 days?

You bet!

The secret is to very quickly stop consuming the things that make you toxic and inflamed -- like sugar, caffeine, alcohol, junk food, and processed foods.

Then you want to do things that help you detoxify and cool off inflammation -- like eating whole, real foods, eliminating all potential food allergens, cleaning out your bowels, and relaxing deeply.

That's when miracles can occur.

The scientific research supporting the role of inflammation and toxins in illness is overwhelming, but most doctors don't know how to help their patients deal with it.

I used to be one of those doctors.

I was trained in conventional medicine, practiced it for 10 years, and helped many people using the tools I was trained to use -- namely, medications and surgery.

While I worked in the emergency room, those tools worked amazingly well, bringing people back from the brink of death and relieving suffering.

But then I realized that I wasn't helping the some 125 million Americans who suffer from some type of chronic illness, or the millions more who just don't feel well. 

In fact, I now believe that most people walk around just accepting feeling mediocre -- with symptoms like fatigue, aches, brain fog, memory problems, depression, headaches, congestion, allergies, digestive problems, joint pains, PMS, and skin problems.

These people may not have an actual disease, but they certainly have problems that rob them from feeling great. 

How many people do you know who can say that they feel fully alive, full of energy, and able to greet the day with joy and enthusiasm?

How many of us can really do that?

Well, I know that this is possible for most people. 

But the sad thing is that most people don't know why they feel less than fully alive and healthy, and don't connect it to their behavior or habits.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The key to creating health isn't taking another medication!

It is figuring out the cause of the problem, and then providing the right conditions for the body and soul to thrive. 

==>  I'm here to show you how to do just that.

Over the last 15 years of practicing at Canyon Ranch, founding The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, Massachusetts, and working with dozens of other leaders in the emerging field of functional and systems medicine, I have learned the few simple things that make the most difference for the most people.

That is why I write the books I write. 

When I wrote "UltraMetabolism," my true goal wasn't to help people lose weight, but to deal with the causes of obesity and disease as a whole. 

And it has been remarkably effective.

I've been pleasantly surprised with the feedback I've received because I know I can help people one on one, but I didn't know just following my recommendations in a book would truly help people. 

I have been overwhelmed by how people's lives have changed.  Here is an email someone sent to me after trying UltraMetabolism.

"Through reading and following the eating plan in your book I have discovered I am gluten intolerant. Six weeks after starting your plan I had not only lost 13 pounds, but also the all-over bloated feeling, excess gas, stomach discomfort and thickening around the middle that I was experiencing. The puffiness and dark circles under my eyes are gone and I am no longer depressed.

I feel terrific, which is my motivation for staying with the plan (including 45 to 60 minutes a day of strength training and yoga). I have read the comments of others and like many of them, I no longer enjoy foods that are bad for me and crave the foods that are good for me.

Unfortunately, feeling terrific is not enough motivation for some people. And I am amazed and even saddened that there are so many other people out there with a defeatist attitude. Many of my friends told me the discomforts I was experiencing were a normal part of aging and that I needed to learn to accept it. 

Wow, were they ever wrong!! Your book has shown me caring for my physical self is essential, especially as I age. I am 48 and thanks to your book I am not getting older, I'm getting better, and growing old gracefully is not an option but a cop-out.

THANK YOU!!!!

PS: The only thing I am missing now is conversing with someone I can relate to."

Wow is right!

UltraMetabolism is a complete, comprehensive system dealing with ALL the causes of obesity (and most illnesses and aging).

But after I wrote it, I kept getting requests for something easy and simple to get started with. 

I resisted because I don't believe in quick-fix diets, even though my readers and publisher were pushing me to do it.

Then I realized something.

I realized that I could share the same program I have been giving to my patients to help them feel great very quickly and lose weight immediately.

I could share it without compromising my true goal of helping people get to the root of their health and weight problems.

And it occurred to me that what I do for nearly every patient who comes to see me is to give them a chance to see just how sick they have been and how powerful making a few simple changes can be in just one week. 

Once they realize how their food choices and their behaviors make them feel sick -- and they experience a taste of UltraWellness -- they are empowered to make changes that can help them feel great and lose weight for the long term.

==>  The most important things to address at the outset for weight loss and creating UltraWellness are inflammation and toxicity. 

These are among the two biggest causes of chronic disease and obesity.

So I created a simple, small, inexpensive paperback book called "The UltraSimple Diet."

This book gives you all the tricks and tools I have used successfully with thousands of patients for so many years.

In one short week, I teach you how to detoxify and to cool off chronic inflammation.

That is "The UltraSimple Diet."

Before I published the book, I asked many of you in my online community to try it and give me feedback.

I was overwhelmed by the response.  We had thousands respond, but could only accept about 150 into the testing.

Even though I know that what I recommend is effective, I was very surprised by the power of the program in people who I had never even met or for whom I had created a customized plan.

We had 130 people report back their results.  We asked them to track their medical symptoms -- things like headaches, fatigue, digestive problems, congestion, joint pain, depression, and more.

The results were dramatic - go to the website below to see the full details on 5 of those who participated who had some amazing results.

==>  http://www.ultrasimplediet.com/special

In just week, they had an average of 51.15% reduction in their symptoms. 

And they lost an average of 5.53 pounds (and many lost over 10 lbs) and lost an average of 1.37 inches from their waists and 0.94 inches from their hips!

To me the weight loss is nice -- and happens automatically -- but it isn't the main objective.

The real benefit is the possibility of people experiencing UltraWellness -- a state of deep and true health and vitality. 

And it happens so quickly.  You don't need to believe me -- just try it yourself for just one week.

And tell your friends. Pass this along. 

I believe that if enough people really get to experience the difference in their health in one week of "The UltraSimple Diet," it will change them forever.

And if enough people have this positive change, this will create a cultural shift that may be able to counteract the powerful food and pharmaceutical industries that harm our health.

So empower yourself -- and get healthy. Try The UltraSimple Diet today.

Now, remember earlier that I said you could get 3 free books?

Well, I believe so strongly in this program that I am investing a substantial amount of my own funds in a special promotion.

When you are one of the first 750 people to get your own copy of the UltraSimple program for just $7.99 (it's paperback, so it's much more affordable), you'll have the opportunity to specify three (3) people to whom you want to send free copies of book, at no charge to you or to those to whom you want the books sent.

These are my gifts to your friends, family, co-workers, etc. - anyone who you think could benefit from having more energy, looking better, feeling better, losing weight, but MOST importantly, becoming healthier.

Go to the website below now for more information:

==>  http://www.ultrasimplediet.com/special

I been shocked by how powerful this one-week program can be and hope to hear back from you on what your experience is like.  As usual, please drop me a note back here on my blog when you have finished reading the book and tried the program and let me know how things went for you.

To your good health,

Mark Hyman, M.D.

PS - My team has also made special arrangements with three very well-respected health magazines who have agreed to send you free subscriptions to their magazines.  So not only will you get the chance to give away three books for free when you are one of the first 750 to order, but you'll also receive up to 3 of these health magazine subscriptions at no cost whatsoever.

I personally hand-selected these magazines for their unusually high-quality, in-depth content that focuses on many of the same principles you'll read about on my blogs or hear at my conferences or read in my books. Go to the website below to find out more about these three magazines:

This is a disappointing blog. It's just a big advertisement for your book. Last week I felt we were going to get specific information as you have in other writings, about an elmination diet and this week it's just one long comercial.

I agree. I purchased 2 Ultrametabolism books. 1 for me and 1 for my daughter. I have been following this diet for 21/2 months and not losing. I do feel better but definetly need an easier to understand diet and of course that is going to cost more money. let me have a free one and you don't have to send my friends & family any. I want to know that it will work this time.

Twice I have been disappointed when I try to take advantage of your special and find that a price tag of 7.99 ( which is very reasonable) or 24.99 for your book becomes a whopping $45.00 because I live in Canada.
I don't beleive for one second that it costs MORE to ship than your product.
VERY DISAPPOINTING>
Why don't you offer an ebook then so all of us can be equal.
Thanks
Frankie

I received your Ultra Simple Diet offer yesterday, however have just purchased your book -- along with Ultra Metabolism, and The Detox Box -- at my local Barnes and Noble.

How can I still login to your webinar this Sunday, May 6th?

I want to know if this new book is a repeat of Phase I of the Ultrametabolism book as that is a sort of "jump start" program too. Also, is the information presented in the book similar to or a repeat of the chapters in Ultrametabolism (as is most of the blogs). And, lastly, does the new book include recipes and menus that are different from Ultrametabolism. This would be really helpful to me. Thanks for responding.

Nancy,

I just finished reading the book in the weekend and no it doesn't include any new receipe, or pretty much any receipe at all. This book I see is much the same as ultrametabolism (no new info) but very very much simplified for people who just can't get started or have doubts.

You should see this as an abstract for Ultrametabolism, and unless the main book is too daunting for you, offering too many choices and paths, don't get this book.

For my opinion, this is meant to be for people who just can't get started on phase 1 or wants a very definate instructions on what to eat and what to do.

and yes I do agree that this blog entry are commercial like and some of the recent email I am receiving are promotional emails, ie. junk mail.

Dr. Hymen, if you don't want people to start treating the newsletters/blog entries as commercials and let it becomes trivial, I highly recommand using a seperate mailing list for people who wants informations on new products/books. After all, everyone commonly receives too many emails a day and will delete ones they come to identify as commercials without thinking.

Dr. Hyman,
Love your books and the info you give. Will you be having any more (weekend)seminars at Cayon Ranch or elsewhere. I missed the one last year but would love to bring my husband for a weekend of "jumpstart" or "kick-starting" our metabolism. Thanks

Thank you for your comments, Will. I have read the entire Ultrametabolism book and followed the recipes and menus and found them helpful. Based on your comments, I don't need to purchase the Ultrasimple Diet book. I would love, however, to have some more recipes that follow the plan, but I can't get any response from Dr. Hyman or his associates when I email him about this. I think he has a good plan and good information but I too am a bit turned off by the commercialism and the promises that don't seem to pan out. Maybe others could comment on this too. Thanks again.

Hi Mark

I would like to try your new program. I was already buying it, but as I don't live in US the shipping fee was almost 5 times more than the book itself ! That stopped me submitting my order.
Do you have a eBook version of your book, which could be basically send via email attachement ? That would be an excellent and fast delivery method especially for overseas customers.

Best Regards, Sirpa Harju (Sydney, Australia)

I really like your advice and plan to buy your book, but I gotta tell you, your "sales letter" copy technique that you use to write the blog (if it is really you who is writing) is a REAL turn off. Use those techniques elsewhere if you must, but please be real, authentic, and conversational in your blog. I truly believe that you will find more followers this way. Google "Cluetrain Manifesto" to see what some of the best minds have to say about web-based communications, and stop listening to your hack marketing guys.

I have a copy of the ultrasimple diet and am thrilled because this is something I can follow with my hectic life. Just one question: I am allergic to so many different foods, brown rice does not agree with me in any way, almonds tend to cause an allergic reaction(itching, congestion, etc.), peaches (severe allergic reaction) and tree fruit of any kind I'm supposed to avoid. I have grown up on white rice, the real kind, not processed Uncle Ben's. Can I eat that instead but maybe in smaller amounts? Also, can you recommend another nut I may be able to eat? Anything remotely close to the peach family seems to cause adverse reactions to my system.

I read Ultrametabolism and tried to do the diet but just could not. I bought the Ultrasimple book...and just finished the week and I did it! Breaking down the instructions into one simple week was just what i needed... I lost 6.2 pounds in 7 days...my feelings of constant hunger disappeared! I am just disappointed that the online community is not done yet...i really feel like i need that to keep things going.. my gf is doing it too which helps..she lost 5.5 in 7 days.

the book and subsequent free downloadable guide and video webinar that comes with it..are so worth the $8 for the book
I hope i didnt sound like a commercial..its a tough crowd :)

I bought the Ultra Simple Diet book and NOW I discover that hypothyroid victims cannot use this diet. Why not? I have Grave's dis-ease in remission.

I already basically eat as you instruct and continue to experience inflammation and pain. There must be someting more.

I serve families in 88 countries and I'd like some straight information for them.

Sirpa, check ebay for a copy of his book. I have seen several on sale their previously read versions, and they will be more likely to charge a reasonable fee, or you can at least find out what the shipping fee is befoer purchasing. :)

Dr. Hyman,

Bravo to you for your insights into what truly "ails" us! I purchased your book last year after seeing you on PBS television in California. I absorbed all of your info and knew that you held the key to my wellness. I found your Ultra-metabolism website and after poking around a bit found a referral link that would help me find a Doctor who practices Functional Medicine in my area.

I found Dr. Rita Ellithorpe at the Tustin Longevity Center in Tustin, CA. She even keeps a copy of your book in her lobby! She has changed my life! Luckily for me she is on the Blue Cross of CA PPO plan so a good portion of my tests and office visits were paid via my insurance. I had a long list of diagnosis codes so that may have helped the insurance company consider a good portion of my tests as medically necessary.

I have suffered from significant digestive issues, fatigue, up and down weight gain, sinus issues, itchy skin, eczema, hypoglycemia, unbalanced hormones, migraines, etc. Dr. Ellithrope took the time to go over my life history. She zeroed in on many things that happened in my childhood that ultimately were the "roots" of my medical issues.

I went though tests for thyroid, hormones, heavy metals, IgG and IgE food sensitivities, metabolic issues, you name it and we tested for it. She did the tests a few at a time which made it easier for my wallet and so that she could knock out certain issues and hopefully stave off doing tests I didn't need.

Turns out my 2 silver amalgam fillings I have had since I was 6 yrs old was a major player (mercury toxicity). I have a problem digesting fructose. My immune system was a mess due to a sensitivity to 31 out of 115 foods on the IgG food allergy test. My hormones were significantly out of balance. And...a heavy dose of flouride (and mercury) as a child left me with issues with iodine deficiency.

I am taking supplements now (including digestive enzymes and iodine) and have eliminated the problem foods. I have started a detox plan for the heavy metals in my system (gonna get my fillings replaced by a biological mercury-free dentist as soon as I can). I’m on bio-identical progesterone. The adjustment in my diet alone has helped me tremendously. My IBS and other digestive issues are almost non-existent. My skin has stopped itching. No more muscle aches. No more fatigue. My migraines are less frequent and of shorter duration. The inflammation in my body has come down significantly and I have lost 32 lbs in 4 months.

Friends and family constantly ask me what I’m doing to make my self look so good. I give all the credit to seeing Dr. Hyman on PBS, getting his book and finding Dr. Ellithrope. As I suffered with all these “ills” for most of my 39 years I KNEW there was a better answer out there than the answers I was getting from the regular medical community. I knew that the “its all in your head” or the “here take this Vioxx” was a bunch of crud. I sure wish I would have know about Functional Medicine 10 years ago, however, I am blessed that it is in my life now.

Bless you Dr. Hyman! Thank you so much for being you!

In health,
Jaemie

I am getting into this program. I love it!! I am a student searching for a career. I'll be graduating soon and would love to get my masters or doctorate in nutrition like Dr. Hydman. How would I go about getting started??? Any suggestions?

Why does the book discourage hypothyroid patients??? I've started the program just from reading about it in FIRST magazine and I've lost 5 lbs in 2 days (Monday a.m. to Wednesday a.m.). I'm on synthroid for my thyroid condition and I don't understand why it wouldn't be recommended.
