StoryShots Book Summary and Review of The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss (Why Intermittent Fasting Is the Key to Controlling Your Weight) by Dr. Jason Fung   Introduction In this best-selling book, The Obesity Code, Dr. Jason Fung sets out an original and well-supported theory of obesity. Traditional thinking was that obesity is a function of calorie intake and exercise. However, Dr. Fung shares new insights into how proper nutrition and weight loss are functions of hormones. He focuses on insulin and how this powerful hormone appears to be the key to regulating metabolism. We can develop "insulin resistance," which makes us fat. Dr. Jason Fung's theories use the latest scientific research into nutrition and obesity. This book is a step-by-step guide on losing weight and rebooting your health.  We face an obesity epidemic. Despite all the diet advice available, we seem to get fatter. Dr. Fung brings a new perspective to the conversation on obesity with his bestseller, The Obesity Code. “Not only full of insights but also surprisingly funny. Read it to understand why the world became fat, how to reverse the epidemic—and how to stay thin yourself.” – Andreas Eenfeldt, MD, Founder of Dietdoctor.com About Dr. Jason Fung Dr. Jason Fung is the world's leading expert on intermittent fasting and a low-carb diet.
