ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In The Obesity Code by Jason Fung, a new perspective on weight gain is presented, challenging the long-held belief that it is primarily about calories. The book delves into the complex hormonal regulation of body weight, with a significant focus on the role of insulin. It suggests that insulin resistance is a major driver of obesity and explores various factors that contribute to this condition. By understanding these hormonal mechanisms, the book offers insights into the true causes of the obesity epidemic and proposes alternative strategies for effective and sustainable weight loss that go beyond simple calorie restriction.
