Ultra Simple Diet Review

What You Should Know

The Ultra Simple Diet is a detoxification program created by Dr. Mark Hyman M.D., a medical consultant who has also written several diet books, including Ultra Prevention and Ultra Metabolism. His book involves a set of rules and recipe plans divided into seven day segments, which focus on self-proclaimed detoxification foods that are said to rid the body of unnecessary toxins, which naturally accumulate in the body, contributing to excess weight and poor health. His method is based on nutrigenomics and controversial detoxification methods popularized by colon cleanse diets.

Dr. Hyman is curiously tight lipped about the details of his diet, however. The Ultra Simple Diet does not fully detail what foods or recipes are involved in his diet; instead, dieters may choose to read a complimentary sample of his book or purchase it off his website for a moderate fee. A free online course, entitled How to Kick Start Your Metabolism in Only 7 Days, is also included with full purchase of his book. Testimonials, background information, and other benefits are primarily listed on his website, which is the main source of information available about his book. He claims dieters can lose up to 10lbs in a week with his diet, which has drawn acclaim and criticisms from many experts.

List of Ingredients

Dr. Hyman only lists ingredients in his official book, which was not accessible at the time of this review.

Product Features

The Ultra Simple Diet includes a detoxification system, which involves eating certain types of food as a means of cleansing the system. Dr. Hyman claims that eating impure foods, such as sweets and carbs, contribute to toxin buildup in the body, causing people to gain excess weight. He goes on to say that toxins alone are the main cause of weight gain, and to eliminate this weight, a detoxification diet is needed. He currently does not provide any reputable evidence as to how he came to these conclusions. There is currently no information available about what foods are used in his diet, making it impossible to evaluate the diet itself. It does sound remarkably similar to colon cleansing diets, however, dangerous diets that involve using fasting methods to remove excess weight. Furthermore, detoxification diet are heavily scrutinized by the medical community because of a lack of evidence proving the existence of toxins inside the body. Detoxification diets are commonly recommended by alternative medicine practitioners, however, but medical evidence is clearly lacking from most of these diets.

Advantages

• Testimonials claim that The Ultra Simple Diet is fool proof and helps eliminate excess weight.
• A free online course, called How to Kick Start Your Metabolism in Only 7 Days, is included with purchase of The Ultra Simple Diet.

Disadvantages

• The full details of the diet are not available to the public.
• Is based off a detoxification diet, which is not considered a legitimate dieting method by the medical community.
• Claims that toxins are the source of weight gain, which is not currently proven by any evidence.

Conclusion

The Ultra Simple Diet utilizes controversial (but popular) detoxification methods as a means of weight loss; however, without further evidence backing up the legitimacy of such methods, it may not be recommended by physicians. The lack of information about the diet itself is also another concern, and dieters will need to purchase the book to learn the full details of Dr. Hyman’s diet.
