Ultrametabolism diet, the new hype
April 27th, 2006
There is a new hype in town and it’s called “ultrametabolism”. Mark Hyman the author of the book claims that you can boost your metabolism by following this diet. For the most part the book is quite harmless, but the diet is going to be hard to maintain without willpower. If we had willpower would we be fad-diet searching?
Probably not. The diet calls for a lot of fruits and vegetables, but the emphasis is on eating natural unprocessed foods. This a great suggestion and very similar to an equally difficult to follow diet, the Fat Flush Plan by Ann Gittleman. The Fat Flush plan really works, but I could not stay on the diet for more than 2 months. Now I am struggling to get back on it because I have recently discovered diet coke with splenda and really hate the idea of giving up my caffeine.
Read a full editorial review from the AOL exercise site. It lists the pros and ons pretty thoroughly. My take is do the Fat Flush one because it accounts for portion control and vitamins to make sure you are getting enough.

hi.
if it’s hard to stay on one diet for a long time, is it worthwhile to rotate among several diets? change tactics when you get sick and tired of something? the idea being you’d always be on a diet, but just not the same one continuously. sort of like diet variety.
