Yet preparing healthful meals is often a challenge.
Besides being a physician, a consultant to the White House and a volunteer in the relief effort in Haiti, Mark Hyman MD, is also a three-time New York Time’s bestselling author.
Just for fun we asked him to allow us to share one of his recipes from The Ultra Metabolism Cookbook, which is filled with over 200 recipes designed to increase metabolism and health.
Artichoke Hearts with Caramelized Onions and Herb Dressing
Ingredients Needed:
- 2 cups red onion
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 cups yellow onion
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (9 ounces) artichoke hearts

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Julienne the red and yellow onions.
- Drain and rinse the artichokes.
- Combine artichokes with 2 tbsp of olive oil, minced garlic, and spices in a bowl.
- Spread out mixture onto a sheet pan and bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees, artichokes will be slightly soft and browned—do not burn.
- On medium heat, in a sauté pan, heat the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil.
- Add the red and yellow onions and sauté on medium for 5–6 minutes.
- When the onions start to brown, reduce the heat and cook for an additional 15–20 minutes, stir as needed to keep from burning.
- Once the onions are caramelized, stir in the lemon juice and cook until the liquid is evaporated. Do not burn the onions.
- In a large bowl, combine the roasted artichokes and caramelized onion mixture. Gently mix until everything is evenly combined.
- Chill.

In the meantime, try out the recipe, and let us know what you think.
If it exists maybe I have it (seriously). The answer probably is “yes”, but I’m not sure. Anyway, “interesting”ed. 🙂
For me, losing weight is all about setting a goal, keeping my eye on that goal, and going after it with every part of me. And do it with intensity.
Again, audio is not working for today’s broadcast!
Tried this recipe and loved it! I have been eating the clean, healthy food my body desires for the past 6 months with weight loss and feeling a ton better! We need to get the word out!
In order to lose weight you MUST EAT FOOD! It’s the kinds of foods and amounts that make the difference. The Standard American Diet is just that, SAD, and it is creating a generation of kids who will not enjoy a healthy life. Invest in your health and see a qualified nutrition coach (dietitians are the nutrition experts with a nationally recognized credential) and start on the road to a lifetime of wellness.

I just started hltrtheaeim yesterday. I’m a college student and my biggest problem is what to eat. I’m doing the jillian michaels 30 day shred dvd along with taking hltrtheaeim.Breakast is easy: some wheat toast, eggs, fruitor oatmeal and fruitmy problem is deciding what to eat for the rest of the day. i have a very busy schedule and am on a budget so it’s super hard to pick healthy meals. i know yesterday, on day 1, i didn’t eat enough and i’m worried because i read a lot of your other comments about the product possibly not working if you do not eat enough.what are some quick/easy meals i can have for lunch/dinner and snack?thanks!
Upon seeing your article, I looked on my bookshelf and as I suspected found Mark Hyman’s book “The Ultrasimple Diet” that my friend had recommended to me. She lost weight and never felt better when she was following his food plan suggestions. I am looking forward to listening in!
