The UltraMetabolism Cookbook 200 Delicious Recipes that Will Turn on Your Fat Burning DNA
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.

5 Stars The ONLY cookbook you need!!
I can’t say enough about this cookbook! I read and followed Ultra-metabolism and had great results, so I bought the cookbook for more recipes. Honestly, I feel like I’m eating at a spa most days. Not only that, but by eating whole foods, you can eat A LOT more calorie-wise. I agree with the reviewer that said to always use fresh herbs when called for. We just planted an herb garden, so I won’t have to spend money on them anymore. This book stays on my counter and I plan all my meals with it. It’s not that hard….if you want to eat healthy, you have to put the time into it to PLAN PLAN PLAN. This isn’t a fad diet, it’s a lifestyle and I’m so happy to have found Mark Hyman’s books!
5 Stars The Ultra-Metabolism Cookbook
Together with the Ultra-Prevention Book by Hyman, this cookbook is easy, accessible, and fun to use. It’s also very healthy, as you know when you taste your first recipe. It forced me to try new vegetables, which I have liked. Highly recommended.
4 Stars Full of flavor
I have prepared several recipes from this book. Each one has been relatively simple to prepare and full of flavor. The recipes call for several organic ingredients which can get a little expensive. Those can easily be replaced by non-organics if need be.
The book is filled with tons of good information on how our bodies work with the foods we ingest and how to increase metabolism.
4 Stars interesting cookbook
I believe you have to be pretty serious about wanting to get healthy to benefit from the cookbook. I will probably use about 1/3 of the recipes. But I am such a fan of Mark Hyman, I found myself attempting some of the dishes that I might not have otherwise. The ingredients used for the recipes can be found at any Whole Foods store.
5 Stars Gourmet Quality!!!!
I bought this book nearly a year ago but have just recently started using it. I have completed Dr. Hyman’s six-week UltraMind program and wanted more recipes to choose from as I intend to continue this lifestyle. The recipes I’ve tried so far are to die for. My whole family is pleased, including my 2 very picky children. Not only are the recipes delicious, they are healthy! Yes, there is a lot of chopping and dicing but I don’t mind because I know I’m eating healthy. I do have one bit of advice. Always use fresh herbs when the recipe calls for it. I can’t believe the difference it makes in flavor. I feel sorry for the one-star reviewer. “Going bad” is what happens to fresh whole foods when they sit in your refrigerator unused. I’m sure she/he didn’t give the recipes much attention. I on the other hand, can’t recommend this cookbook enough.

1 Star can’t get any info about my subscription!
I ordered the two year plus the free recipe book. I have received nothing and the check was cashed over 2 months ago. Any email address for Better Homes and Garden does not work! Then when you call they say they don’t have any record of my subscription, but I should be receiving my magazine in March!
5 Stars Took 2 months, but finally received 1st issue
Bought this subscription for my wife as a Christmas stocking stuffer 12/12/2008. She received the first issue today 2/19/2009. It was a good deal, just do not expect it to appear in your mailbox anytime soon after purchase.
5 Stars consistently good
First, wanted to comment on the fact that i didn’t know amazon.com had magazines. it was a nice surprise and i will use them again. Secondly, Better homes and Garden consistently has great issues with information that everyone can use. I love the recipes and the creative ideas.
5 Stars Better Homes & Garden review
I am unhappy that I ordered this in November and I am still not receiving the subscription.
5 Stars Plenty of ideas for a low price.
I always get a good deal on subscriptions to BH & G. Although there is a lot of advertising, I find it comparable to other magazines in that way. There are tons of ideas in here and it’s a great magazine to peruse before redecorating a room or even a house.
I always love looking at different people’s homes and gardens. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and although I can’t use too many of their ideas (I’m in zone 10), I can get ideas on garden structures and design.
Lots of great recipes and ideas on entertaining as well.

21 Pounds in 21 Days The Marthas Vineyard Diet Detox
Detox diets are making news as the quickest, easiest way to shed pounds, boost your energy, and get yourself on a wellness track. Popular in the 1970s, cleansing fasts are again all the rage among celebrities like Gisele Bundchen, Gwyneth Paltrow, Stella McCartney, and Madonna.
One of the key advocates of the health benefits of cleansing detoxes is Roni DeLuz, ND, a licensed naturopathic and health practitioner at Martha’s Vineyard Holistic Retreat, part of the renowned Martha’s Vineyard Inn. The idea behind DeLuz’s new detox plan is the belief that the foods we eat (along with the coffee, tea, and alcohol we drink and the air we breathe) contain harmful and toxic substances that accumulate in our bodies and need to be removed in some way. In 21 Pounds in 21 Days, DeLuz offers three different detox programs, including the original and most effective 21-day “MasterFast,” which promises a 21-pound weight loss in just three weeks and focuses on detoxification through antioxidants, fasting, stress reduction, and lifestyle changes. Also included in the book are:
- Maintenance plans
- Dozens of easy, delicious recipes
- Real-life tips
- An extensive glossary of terms
- A guide to supplements
Meals consist of supplement-laden drinks, herbal teas, thick, delicious vegetable purees, and “live” juices, along with nutritional supplements, vitamins, and enzymes designed to keep the body’s systems stable and its cells nourished while harmful toxins are flushed out. 21 Pounds in 21 Days isn’t just for those looking to lose weight; everyone can benefit from this revolutionary detox diet that results in a clean, refreshed system that functions at its best.

5 Stars Mayra in Texas- Healthy and loving it!
I recently completed the detox and have to say, I am absolutely happy and amazed at the results!
Was it easy? No way! Having a drastic lifestyle change in the way you eat, is never easy. It’s difficult to go out with friends and family, seeing as you can only stick to the juices and herbal tea’s, but when you want it bad enough, you can manage.
I ordered the juice kit from the website, and was very happy with it. $200 may seem like a lot to pay for juices, but let’s get real here people….Most of us spend WAY more than $200 on food for 3 weeks! (Btw, after 21 days, I still have about a weeks work left). Also, if anyone took the time to read a bit more…you don”t HAVE to do the enema’s or colonics. I didn’t, and I feel fine. Maybe one day I’ll find a colonic therapist, but I’m still ok! As far as the enzymes, all you have to do is ask for them at the health food store. Not a crazy feat.
Also, I was so pleased with the detox, and enjoyed the way the juice tasted, I was going to order a canister of the zesty tomato vegesplash. When I went to the website, they have not had it set up to buy each individual canister. So, i thought I would take a shot and ask why not. Well, in LESS THAN 24 HOURS, I got a response, letting me know they were working on it. I’m not sure where everyone else is e-mailing, but I know my experience was great.
Honestly, this is not an easy thing to do. Would it be easier if Dr. Roni was there by my side, making sure it was all going right…OF COURSE! Life in general is easier when you have someone guiding you. Thing is, this my HEALTH. My blood pressure was high, my clothes didn’t fit, and I was always tired. 3 weeks later, I almost feel like a new person. I’m so happy with the results, I plan to do it again. Good look to everyone!
5 Stars It works!
This is a brilliant book and really works. Stick with it and you can change your life.
5 Stars Actually read the book and did the detox
It is amazing to me that people will critic something they never tried. I would suggest you read the entire book before starting as it is very enlightening and will help you stick to the program. The detox is not easy but the results are amazing!!! You really do experience a total transformation with mind, body and spirit. This is a detox with the benefits of losing weight. I started on December 15, 2008 with 2 friends and did the 21 days and 7 days of maitenance. My girlfriend and I lost 18 pounds while her husband lost more and none of us have regained any of it back. We did not go back completely to our old habits but made some major changes keeping in step with what the book suggest. My thinking became clearer and my energy level exploded. I just feel so much healthier. I highly recommend this program. I will repeat this process every year and do a quarterly 7 day maintenance program. I will now order my products online at half the price than what I ordered from the book people. The products brand is garden greens and you will need the inner cleanse (2), essential greens (2), vegge splash, acai drink, and protein shake. I found the entire amount for $121 not counting the digestive enzymes. I spend more than that a month on food. You have to determine what your health is worth. Again, I really think it is worthwhile and since seeing my results 6 people I know have started and/or completed the program. They have all been thrilled as well.

5 Stars I’d rate it 6 stars if I could - I lost 15lbs in 21 days and changed my life
I did the Martha’s Vineyard Detox Diet, after reading this book, in February 2009. In less than 21 days, I literally changed my life. Yep, thats easy to say. But I’ve gone on to create a blog site to help others do the same. That’s how strongly I feel about it.
If you are tired, exhausted, even mildly overweight and just can’t remember the last time you felt like “yourself”, then you OWE it to yourself to read this book, and consider how you would like to feel in 6 months, 1 year, 5 years. Do you need to continue feeling bad, or can you do something about it??
I’ve had 3 kids in the last 6 years, gradually putting on weight with each child. I also work full time, and like lots of other working moms, I have a crazy life. I was continually exhausted - from the moment I had to DRAG myself out of bed, until vegetating in front of the TV at 9 or 10pm at night (if I was lucky that night…).
This book and diet changed my life. I have much more energy. I’ve been able to get up 1-1.5 hrs earlier each day, do a workout, make my juice, etc, and I’ve even manged to have enough energy at night to start blogging - I’ve created a blog site to help others make this life change. Check it out at - http://newhealthydiva.blogspot.com/
I have support information, tips and tools, recipes, shopping lists etc. I’ve just been through this. You can take control of your life too. Sign up at my website and buy Dr. Roni’s book. You won’t regret it.
4 Stars More than Weight Loss
This book addresses how excessive weight is really a symptom of toxicity. I like how it is written to help people understand how their eating habits and food choices bring them to a place of unhealthy living. It also explains elimination therapy, colon cleansing and the significance this plays in being healthy. The testimonials are helpful for people needing examples of how this change helped others. Excellent information and a good place to start for people transitioning away from the Standard American Diet (SAD). I used the 21 day agenda to jump start a longer detox, and followed the guidelines for the gallbladder flush. Overall, I lost 30 pounds in a couple of months and have kept it off.
