The Obesity Code

Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss

By: Jason Fung

Narrated by: Brian Nishii

We are in the midst of an obesity epidemic, but despite being inundated with diet advice we are only getting fatter. We count calories and exercise regularly, yet still the pounds won't budge. Why?

In this highly enjoyable and provocative book, Dr Jason Fung sets out a groundbreaking new theory: that obesity is caused by our hormones rather than a lack of self-control.

He reveals that overproduction of insulin in the body is the root cause of obesity and obesity-related illnesses including type 2 diabetes and offers robust scientific evidence that reversing insulin resistance is the only way to lose weight in the long term.

It turns out that when we eat is just as important as what we eat, so in addition to his five basic steps - a set of lifelong eating habits that will improve your health and control your insulin levels - Dr Fung explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight - for good.

Very informative book and how insulin production and receptors work was very clear. Didn't pull punchs on past authors he didn't agree with.

What a great book

This is such great advise and I would recommend it definitely. It opened my mind and I am going to takkle my obesity following their advise. Can't wait for the new me.

Very informative

I found the book informative. Sometimes a bit too technical for my non medical background but clearly the author has done his research and has exceptional knowledge on diets and the history thereof. A bit too much repetition in general, and would have like more information on Intermittent fasting.

Insightful book about Healthy Living and Lifestyle

I really enjoyed the book. The message in the book makes a lot of sense. For someone who is not patient, they might see the beginning of the book to be less interesting and too medical or too much deep dive into some sections. But I later understood why the deep dive initially was important to understand after moving along further into the book. I can recommend this can be by far the best book to help you understand if there is anyone trying to understand the formula of healthy eating and weightloss challenges or plans

Game changer

Wow - this book has made me absolutely re-evaluate my approach to health. This was so interesting and easy to follow and I really enjoyed the narration. Thank you Dr Fung - I learned so much in the time it took me to listen to this book especially about insulin resistance. So much suddenly makes sense.
