"I’ve lost 10 pounds in less than three weeks, and I’m not hungry!"
I’m overweight, have hypothyroidism, and had gestational diabetes. I knew I was a high risk candidate for type 2 diabetes if I didn’t lose the weight, so I had to try something ...
First I went on Atkins. That worked ... for a while. I eventually gained back every pound I lost, and that program just didn’t make sense to me. I mean, come on, it’s okay to eat bacon, but you can’t eat fruit? That can’t be right.
When I saw Dr. Hyman on PBS I thought, "This makes sense!" and was very excited to learn more. So I went out and purchased a copy of The UltraSimple Diet right away.
During the prep week I lost 3 pounds and felt much more comfortable in my clothes. On the actual program I lost an additional 4 more. At this stage, I've lost 10 pounds in less than three weeks, and I’m not hungry!
As an unexpected bonus, my husband decided to do the program with me, and in two weeks, he's lost 12 pounds. It's great to have a buddy, since we make a blender of shakes together in the morning, and he makes the vegetable broth twice a week!
I think it’s too soon to tell whether this will be my way of eating for the rest of my life, but since it makes sense to me, is working, tastes good, and involves no counting carbs or calories, I think I can do this forever.

"My anxiety has been reduced so much that my Paxil dosage was cut in half and I can stay off it for several days at a time. I also lost 10 pounds ..."
I have suffered from depression for years. Then, 12 years ago, after being run over by a car, I started having extreme anxiety. The combination was crippling ...
I tried relaxation exercises and abdominal breathing, but nothing seemed to reduce my anxiety. Finally, I reluctantly went on Paxil. I have to say it helped my anxiety a lot but I started having trouble with my weight. I became addicted to sweets and I love the taste of beer too much, so I started gaining weight by binging. The extra weight along with binge eating made me feel even more tired and depressed. I was in a really negative downward spiral.
That’s when I first saw Dr. Hyman’s PBS special on The UltraMind Solution. I have to say I was skeptical as I was watching the program. The things he was saying about reversing anxiety, depression, ADD, and autism sounded too good to be true. But I figured the worst thing that could happen if I tried the program was that my organic food bill would go up, so I thought, "Why not?"
I must say, I was surprised by the results.
I have more energy and my anxiety has been reduced so much that my Paxil dosage was cut in half and I can stay off it for several days at a time. I also lost 10 pounds; my waist shrunk by two inches; my itchy scalp and dandruff improved; and my nose is less stuffy.
I’m so impressed with the program I plan to stay on it until I lose another 30 pounds ... at least.
My recommendation: Try it. It’s only a few weeks out of your life. You might be as surprised as I was.

“I lost 6 lbs. during the preparation week and another 7 during the weeklong program, for a total of 13 lbs.! I feel much less bloated and inflamed and my body feels stronger…”
I was 40 lbs over weight, had massive food cravings, excessive hunger, night and binge eating, allergies, insomnia, and a general feeling of being unwell. I seriously needed a change …
That’s when I first heard about The UltraSimple Diet. I knew the science behind Dr. Hyman’s claims was sound, but was a little doubtful in my ability to meet the challenge …
It turned out to be easier and more powerful than I ever expected. I lost 6 lbs. during the preparation week and another 7 during the weeklong program, for a total of 13 lbs.! I feel much less bloated and inflamed and my body feels stronger. My mind is clearer, my sight has improved, and I am free from cravings.
I think Dr. Hyman's tools make the program work. The guide, journaling, and other online tools -- especially the recipes -- were a goldmine. The way he broke each day down into manageable segments worked well for keeping me on track. And the minimal exercise was a good way for me to ease into movement after years of no physical activity.The fact that Dr. Hyman focuses on reclaiming your health, not just fat loss, makes this program a unique experience. But the biggest kicker for me is that it only took two weeks to feel radical changes in my body. Thirteen pounds of toxicity gone and my health score improved as well. It only took these 14 days to truly grasp the importance of eating healthy. Anyone can commit to 14 days, and by making that small investment, a lifetime of change can begin.
Now I feel more confident that I can maintain a healthy lifestyle and am ready to face new challenges. I have realized I value my health and want to maintain the progress.

"I decided that if I could control my weight, I could get back control of every aspect of my life."
I am 6 foot 6 and fifteen months ago I weighed over 312 pounds and was wearing pants with a 50-inch waist – with my gut hanging over. I am now under 220 pounds and wearing a very comfortable 36-inch pant – 34s are in my sights! I am nearly 17 gallons smaller than I was a year ago and leaner than I ever remember being!
I tried Atkins, South Beach, all the ‘diets’ out there. Then I stumbled upon Dr. Hyman’s UltraMetabolism. I decided to give the program a try and nothing has given me better results.

"I have been up and down in my weight for years, but the more pressing issue for me was my chronic vertigo. Today, I’ve lost 12 pounds, my vertigo is 98% gone, and all my other symptoms have disappeared ... in only 7 weeks my life completely changed ..."
Before my vertigo started 5 years ago, I was an active young woman—an adventure traveler and hard-working advertising executive who had fun with life. Vertigo turned me into someone who barely made it through the day and longed for weekend ... my body rocked all day long I felt like was on a raft at sea every day, and the hardest part was that I couldn’t sleep because as soon as I laid down I would rock awake.
I had MRI's, vestibular therapy, and acupuncture 4 times a week for years ... but still no relief.
I was literally on my knees and knew I was going to have to figure this out myself. That’s when I heard a presentation by Dr. Hyman, and something clicked in me. I thought, "If inflammation could cause so many health problems, then why couldn't it cause the fluid in my ears to swell? Maybe that’s what’s causing my vertigo." I had obvious signs of inflammation in my hands. I got so excited to try something new, something I had never heard of before ...
In only 7 weeks my life completely changed ...
The vertigo is 98% gone, I have lost 12 pounds, and I can now do light exercise, something I haven’t been able to do for years. I have energy now and am usually awake before the alarm goes off in the morning. My sugar cravings and cravings for high carb and high fat foods have decreased. And I feel better than I have a long time.
The UltraSimple Diet is easy-breezy. What have you got to lose? You can have your whole life back in 2 weeks. Small risk. BIG Reward!
