The Obesity Code (book)

"The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung explores the science behind weight gain, emphasizing that insulin resistance and hormonal regulation play key roles. The book argues that frequent eating and high sugar intake lead to elevated insulin levels, which promote fat storage and hinder fat burning. Dr. Fung advocates for intermittent fasting and reducing processed carbs to lower insulin, improve metabolic health, and sustainably achieve weight loss. The focus is on understanding how lifestyle and dietary choices influence hormones, offering an evidence-based approach to prevent and reverse obesity beyond calorie-counting.
