About The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung

In his best-selling book, The Obesity Code, Dr. Jason Fung sets out an original and well-supported theory of obesity that provides brand-new insights into proper nutrition and how weight loss is a function of hormones, not of exercise or calories in and out. Dr. Fung focuses primarily on insulin, a powerful hormone that regulates our metabolism. When insulin levels are high for too long, we develop "insulin resistance." This makes us fat.

Dr. Fung explores the latest scientific research into nutrition and obesity in a straightforward and accessible way and, more importantly, gives his readers step-by-step advice on how to lose weight and reboot their health.
