The importance of understanding hormones for weight loss
Dr. Jason Fung discusses the significance of understanding the role of hormones in weight loss. He emphasizes that weight gain and obesity are not solely a result of calories in and calories out, but rather the hormonal balance in the body. Hormones like insulin play a key role in instructing the body to store energy as fat. The focus should be on controlling hunger and regulating the hormones behind calorie storage, rather than simply reducing calorie intake.
