The obesity code
Book • 2016
In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr. Jason Fung sets out an original theory of obesity that emphasizes the role of hormones, particularly insulin and insulin resistance, in weight gain.
He argues that traditional weight-loss methods focusing on calorie counting and excessive exercise are ineffective and instead advocates for intermittent fasting and a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet to achieve lasting weight loss and improve overall health.
The book provides practical, science-based advice on controlling insulin levels and breaking the cycle of insulin resistance.
