The UltraMetabolism Diet Plan
The UltraMetablolism Diet Plan claims that an imbalanced metabolism leads to weight gain. Genetic makeup, environment and individual habits affect your metabolism. The UltraMetabolism Diet Plan helps you focus and treat specific imbalances by instructing you on making dietary changes, adding dietary supplements, and modifying lifestyle habits. For example, to help treat inflammation, you should add more omega-3 fats into your diet by eating fatty fish, like salmon and mackerel.
To help achieve weight loss, the plan has “7 Keys to Successful Weight Loss” that should be followed. Whether it’s managing stress, decreasing inflammation or detoxifying the liver, the UltraMetabolism Plan provides steps to set your metabolism straight. This is the key to achieving weight loss, and better overall health.
What makes The UltraMetabolism Diet Plan different?
The UltraMetabolism Diet Plan can be customized to your unique metabolism. There is a basic “UltraMetabolism Perscription” and “7 Keys to Successful Weight Loss” to help you focus on specific factors that affect your metabolism. Together, these offer you an overall prescription for healthy eating and lifestyle, plus additional recommendations based on your individual needs.
What is The UltraMetabolism Plan?
The UltraMetabolism Plan is an 8-week program that includes one week of preparation, three weeks of detoxification and four weeks of rebalancing your metabolism for lifetime. The following is a brief description of each phase.
The Preparation Phase (one week): A week before you start the UltraMetabolism Plan, you need to prepare your body. Shedding toxic habits, like sugar, refined foods, trans-fats, caffeine and alcohol, help make the transition into the plan effortless and painless.
Phase I – Detoxification (three weeks): Designed to unlock and restart your metabolism, this phase of The UltraMetabolism Diet Plan focuses on removing any potentially poisonous foods from your diet. In addition to the foods eliminated during the preparation phase, potential allergens like gluten (found in wheat, rye, barley and oats), dairy and eggs are also prohibited. You want to eliminate any harmful substances from your body, and then get an idea on how these foods make you feel, once you reintroduce them slowly during phase II.
Phase II – Rebalancing Your Metabolism (4 weeks): This is a lifelong prescription for achieving and maintaining optimum weight. Your metabolism is reeducated so you can regain your health. Once your metabolism works more efficiently, weight loss will follow as a side effect. Foods (such as 100% whole wheat bread, alcohol, dairy and eggs) are reintroduced every two to three days. Foods should be monitored by using an energy-food diary, so that you can check how you feel after you ate them. Any food that makes you fatigued, gives you acne, or changes your bowel function should be avoided for twelve weeks. Seeing a registered dietitian or physician is suggested if you find that you are sensitive to a certain food.
The UltraMetabolism Diet Plan provides 7-day sample menus for both Phase I and Phase II, as well as corresponding recipes.
Some other important concepts of The UltraMetabolism Diet Plan include eating lean protein at breakfast (or any meal for that matter), eating every 3-4 hours, choosing whole foods, and not eating 2-3 hours before bedtime. Most sweets are not allowed on this plan in the long run either, with the exception of dark chocolate made with 70% cocoa - a plus for chocolate lovers!
To customize the diet to your metabolism follow the “7 Keys to Successful Weight Loss.” This includes everything from controlling your appetite to turning calories into energy. For each key, there are quizzes that help you figure out your problem areas, and then suggestions on improving them. For those with time constraints, the “UltraMetabolism Prescription” eating plan should be followed first, and the recommendations from the “7 Keys” can gradually be added.
The diet’s website – www.ultrametabolism.com – offers more recipes, success stories, videos from creator Dr. Mark Hyman, the UltraMetabolism Challenge, and a blog.
What are the weight loss expectations?
In Phase I, 6-11 pounds of weight loss is expected. In Phase II, an additional 5-10 poundsof weight loss is expected. Thus, by the end of the initial eight weeks you can expect to have lost 11-21 pounds. Afterwards, you are expected to lose a pound a week, until you achieve your desired weight.
Is exercise promoted?
Exercise is promoted on this diet, especially for long-term weight loss. However, it is considered optional. The plan encourages you to try things you enjoy, whether it’s swimming, walking or playing basketball. For overall health, The UltraMetabolism Diet Plan suggests doing an aerobic activity for up to thirty minutes, five times a week. To help with weight loss exercise for sixty minutes, an additional five times a week. Strength training for twenty minutes, 2-3 times a week, is also suggested.
Interval training is also recommended as an efficient way to exercise. This type of training consists of high intensity exercise for a short period, followed by lighter exercise for a longer period.
Are supplements recommended?
Many supplements are recommended (but not required) on this plan. Three supplements considered essential for everyone are a multivitamin/multimineral combination; a magnesium, calcium, and vitamin D supplement; and an omega-3 fatty acid supplement.
All other supplements recommended are based on individual needs, and depend on your score on the quizzes in the “7 Keys to Successful Weight Loss” chapter. These suggested supplements range from B-complex vitamins, zinc, and vitamin C to ginseng, licorice, and probiotics.
