Dr. Hyman presents his seven-day Ultra Simple Diet program designed to reduce toxicity and inflammation while promoting weight loss. The talk covers his book's benefits and includes testimonials from people who used the diet.
Hi, this is Dr. Hyman. What if you could solve all your health problems and lose 10 pounds in just seven days? That seems hard to believe, doesn't it? But I've seen this miracle so many times in my practice and with people posting on my website. My real goal in medicine is to help people feel better. Now, I know what it's like to feel bad because I had chronic fatigue syndrome and I know what it's like to wake up feeling like you just can't go on or that you have a thousand and one complaints that lower your quality of life. But I know people can feel better in just seven days. Now, of course, most serious illnesses take a little longer, but most can be helped or cured with the principles of ultra wellness and functional medicine. Okay, so how does this seven-day program work? Well, it works by addressing two of the major causes of being sick and fat, and those are toxicity and inflammation. Now, in the past couple of blogs, I've reviewed how these two things are at the root of so many problems. The key is finding the root of being sick and fat, and then getting rid of that problem and helping the body heal and repair. That's all you have to do. Now, so what's the secret of the 7-Day Plan? It's very simple really. It's to quickly stop the things that make you toxic and inflamed. Things like sugar, caffeine, alcohol, junk food and processed foods. And then two, to do the things that help you detoxify and cool off inflammation. Things like eating real whole food, stopping your potential food allergens, cleaning out your bowels, deeply relaxing and more. That's when miracles really can occur. Now I don't really want you to believe me because I know what I'm saying is pretty incredible, but I want you to try it. and prove it to yourself. Now, I wouldn't put my reputation and credibility on the line without knowing how powerful these 7 Days can be for people. You know, the scientific research that I've been working with over the last decade or two really supports the role of inflammation and toxins in illness and it's overwhelming research. But most doctors don't even know about it and don't know how to help their patients use this information and deal with these problems. Now, that's why I really wrote and created this seven-day program. Because after I wrote Ultra Metabolism, which was my last book, it dealt with all the underlying causes of obesity and disease. But people kept asking me for something simpler to get started. And I kind of resisted it because I didn't really want to write a diet book. But then I realized, you know, I've been putting my patients on this quick start program for their health for years. I know it's hard to get people to change their habits. So what I tend to do is I trick them. I encourage people to do something for just one week. It's simple but it creates a dramatic change from their usual lifestyle. And I wanted to trick people into seeing how good they could feel so quickly. And then once they do that, they really want to keep going. So that's when I help them go deeper into using all the principles that I write about in UltraMetabolism. But I did realize that I could write a book that allowed everyone to take advantage of what I do for my patients. That's why I wrote the Ultra Simple Diet. It includes all the tricks and tools and things that I've learned over the last 15 years at Canyon Ranch and at my Ultra Wellness Center. But before I published it, I actually had people on my online community just try it. And the results were quite startling to me, really, even though I know it works with my patients. But that's one-on-one. I wanted to see what happened when just the average person tried it. Well, in one week, people's chronic symptoms were reduced by over 51%. They lost an average of 5.5 pounds, 1.37 inches from their waist, and.94 inches from their hips. That's quite incredible. That was average. So some people lost a lot more. Now, the Ultra Simple Diet is finally out in paperback. And in a few minutes, I'll tell you how to get three free copies. But first, I want to read you the story of a woman who recently tried the program. It's quite incredible. She said, Through reading and following your eating plan in the book, I discovered I am gluten intolerant. Six weeks after starting your plan, I not only had lost 13 pounds, but also the Oliver bloated feeling, excess gas, stomach discomfort and thickening around the middle that I was experiencing. The puffiness and dark circles under my eyes are gone and I'm no longer depressed. Wow. I feel terrific, which is my motivation for staying with the plan. See, I trick people. Including 45 to 60 minutes a day of strength training and yoga. Now, I've read the comments of others and like many of them, I no longer enjoy foods that are bad for me and I crave the foods that are good for me. That's what happens when your body's natural intelligence takes over. You don't want the things that are bad for you and you crave the things that are good for you. Unfortunately, feeling terrific is not enough motivation for some people and I'm amazed and even saddened that there are so many other people out there with the defeatist attitude. Many of my friends told me the discomforts I was experiencing were a normal part of aging and that I needed to learn to accept it. Wow, she says, were they ever wrong. Your book has shown me that caring for my physical self is essential, especially as I age. I'm 48 and thanks to your book, I'm not getting older, I'm getting better. And growing old gracefully is not an option, but a cop-out. Thank you. P.S. The only thing I'm missing now is conversing with someone I can relate to. Well, I can't help with that. So even though I was reluctant to write the Ultra Simple Diet, I'm excited now that it's finally available because I know that so many people will be able to say what I hear from my patients every day. I didn't know how bad I was feeling until I started feeling so good. Now I want to get this book into the hands of as many people as possible to give them that experience. That's why I'm offering this special opportunity for you to give away three free books to people you think would benefit from living the Ultra Wellness Lifestyle. People like your friends, your loved ones, your co-workers. Now if you're one of the first 750 people to order the book, you're going to get three free copies that will be sent to three people you choose. So to do this, you have to take advantage of this by going to www.ultrasimplesdiet.com/special special. So remember, empower yourself and transform healthcare.
