Description

The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss by Dr. Jason Fung is a transformative 2016 health guide that redefines the science behind weight gain and loss. In this insightful book, Dr. Fung explores how hormonal imbalances—especially involving insulin—are at the root of obesity. Rather than focusing on the outdated “calories in, calories out” model, he explains how insulin resistance leads to fat storage and why intermittent fasting can be a powerful tool for reversing it. Drawing from both clinical experience and in-depth research, Fung presents a compelling case for changing not just what we eat, but when we eat.

Throughout the book, Dr. Fung outlines five key strategies for managing insulin levels and achieving sustainable weight loss, including eliminating added sugars, embracing natural fats, reducing refined carbohydrates, moderating protein intake, and practicing intermittent fasting. His conversational tone and clear explanations make complex medical concepts accessible to everyday readers. The Obesity Code has become a cornerstone in the modern wellness movement, empowering people to take control of their health through science-based methods that challenge conventional diet advice.
