The Obesity Code

I lost 18 kgs

The book clearly helps us to understand the multifactorial causes of obesity and to how to solve the issues regarding that and helps us to really have a knowledge about our own body and hormones. Great work is done by Dr. Jason Fung

Helped me get off the weight loss plateau. Taught me a few things I missed. Only thing is it does not do justice to a vegan diet

Simplified , making it easy to understand concepts and how to apply them to real life scenario. Unabashed , no nonsense science unraveled and put out there

Simple facts are difficult to follow but all simple facts have scientific basis with studies. Book helps to have diet decisions for healthy body and healthy lifestyle

The premise of the book is that if you want to lose body fat then you have to control your body's insulin levels. It can be achieved by doing both the following things together. 1. What you eat - Avoiding processed sugars and refined carbs. 2. When you eat - This introduces the reader to intermittent, short term and long term fasting and, using scientific studies and evolutionary biology, lists down their benefits in addition to losing body fat. Mainly these, although the book goes deep into discussing various food nutrients and sources, and their effect on insulin levels, as well as national food policies which are influenced by big processed food companies, a little bit of history too.

Beautifully written and a great greaaattt read!

I was looking for an authentic guidance on nutrition and dieting, backed by scientific studies. This book has all. Contradictory tips from dietitians can be very confusing. This book is na authentic source of information written by a doctor, based on real studies.
