About the Book



"Why your body's own insulin is the key to controlling your weight"--Cover.



Book Synopsis



FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR DR. JASON FUNG: The landmark book that is helping thousands of people lose weight for good.

Harness the power of intermittent fasting for lasting weight loss.

Understand the science of weight gain and insulin resistance.

Stop suffering and ditch calorie counting, yoyo diets, and excessive exercise.

In this highly readable book, Dr. Jason Fung, long considered the founder of intermittent fasting, sets out an original theory of obesity and weight gain. He reveals that everything you've been told about how to lose weight is wrong: weight gain is driven by hormones, and only by understanding the effects of insulin and insulin resistance can we achieve lasting weight loss.

Dr. Fung shares five basic steps to controlling your insulin for better health. And he explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight--permanently.



Review Quotes




"Not only full of insights but also surprisingly funny. Read it to understand why the world became fat, how to reverse the epidemic--and how to stay thin yourself."
--Andreas Eenfeldt, MD, Founder of Dietdoctor.com

"Dr. Jason Fung's explanation of insulin resistance and the accompanying insulin model of obesity is original, brilliant and game changing."
--Zoë Harcombe, Obesity researcher, author of The Harcrombe Diet

"A fantastic book that exposes some of the world's most pervasive myths about obesity and weight management. A must read for anyone interested in the science of diet."
--Kris Gunnars, nutrition researcher

"In The Obesity Code, Dr. Jason Fung triumphs in explaining the core underlying causes of obesity and manages to simplify it in a way that anybody can understand. If more doctors and people were able to understand these causes and implement Dr. Fung's actionable advice then we would be able to start reversing the obesity epidemic tomorrow."
--Sam Feltham, USA Today World Fitness Elite Trainer of the Year

I started fasting almost year ago and listening to a podcast about fasting and they recommended it, so I read it and just blow my mind, there is so much information That I didn’t know and nobody tells you not even doctors, what we think is healthy well, is definitely not. I think everybody should read this amazing book and get informed about how obesity affects all our health, I’m sure that we can fight back against obesity and all its problems. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
