Dr. Hyman is one of the country's foremost practitioners in functional medicine, and breaks new ground with The UltraSimple Diet, a revolutionary weight loss program, in which he addresses the two most important underlying causes of disease and obesity.

What makes this weight loss program so different?

* Dieters will discover that eating carbs is the single most important thing to lose weight and stay healthy.

* Weight loss is achieved by fixing the underlying chronic health problems causing the increase in weight: toxicity and inflammation.

* Increased health and well being is achieved by finding out what is poisoning the body.

* When the aggravation from toxins and inflammation is removed, the body's natural intelligence takes over to create automatic health and weight loss.

* There is no calorie counting and the program is truly simple and so very easy to follow.

The UltraSimple Diet is a seven-day program focusing on healing and repair. As a pioneer in treatments that apply the natural power and interaction of bodily systems, Dr. Hyman's theories reveal how to take control of weight loss by eating foods that send information and instructions for weight loss and health to the body.

For example, one can compare the liver to a factory. A primary function of this "factory" is cleansing, healing and repair. However, if all the effort and work in the factory is put into fielding and fighting incoming harmful substances, there is no time left to take care of cleansing the body of existing harmful substances to allow the body to heal or repair. The UltraSimple Diet addresses this problem by opening the door to let in only the good foods -- foods the body uses to heal and repair, which then results in automatic weight loss.

Nutritious vegetables and fruits, which many people forget are carbohydrates, contain powerful phytonutrients - natural chemical compounds found in plants -- that provide extraordinary health benefits and help eliminate toxins and cool inflammation. By choosing a detox diet of real, whole, mostly plant foods that are full of fiber, anti-inflammatory, sugar balancing and include detoxifying nutrients, it is possible to stop the hormonal roller coaster of food cravings and overeating that often lead to a falling off the wagon. It is quite amazing that with this diet it is actually possible to maintain healthy habits and weight loss for life.
