"The Obesity Code"

"The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung explains that weight gain is mainly driven by hormonal imbalances, particularly insulin. Excess insulin promotes fat storage, making it harder to lose weight. Factors like frequent eating, sugars, and processed carbs keep insulin high. The book advocates for reducing insulin levels through methods such as intermittent fasting and eating real, whole foods. By addressing insulin and metabolic health, individuals can better manage and prevent obesity, leading to a sustainable and healthier weight without solely focusing on calorie counting.
