Ultrametabolism

An aging expert and editor of an alternative medicine journal says losing weight is a lifestyle decision that goes smoothly once you inform your eating decisions with the way your body really uses calories. Hyman is both relaxed and captivating as he refutes the common weight-loss myths that eating less and exercising more reduces weight, that all calories are created equal, that eating fats makes you fat, that reducing carbs makes you thin, and that skipping meals drops pounds. His explanation of these myths is credible and read with such natural enthusiasm that listeners will swear he's talking extemporaneously. One CD contains printable details about his eight-week plan and other helpful information. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
