Book Overview of The Obesity Code

Everything you believe about how to lose weight is wrong. Weight gain and obesity are driven by hormones – in everyone – and only by understanding the effects of insulin and insulin resistance can we achieve lasting weight loss. “The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss” by Dr. Jason Fung is a groundbreaking book that challenges common ideas about how to lose weight.

There is a strong case made by Dr. Fung that weight gain and obesity are mostly caused by hormones, especially insulin. He gives people a new way to think about obesity and stresses how important it is to know what insulin does in the body.

In “The Obesity Code book”, Dr. Fung talks about his theory about obesity and gives real-life tips on how to lose weight and keep it off. He talks about five basic steps and habits that people can keep up for life to improve their health and keep insulin levels in check. Dr. Fung also talks about the benefits of intermittent fasting as a way to break the cycle of insulin resistance and help people keep their weight in a healthy range.


People say that “The Obesity Code” is easy to read and has thought-provoking ideas about food and losing weight. It’s a new way to fight obesity because it focuses on the hormonal imbalances at their source instead of just counting calories or limiting food intake. The suggestions made by Dr. Fung are based on facts and give readers practical ways to take charge of their health and lose weight in a healthy way. Overall, “The Obesity Code” is a great book for anyone who wants to learn more about obesity and how to manage their weight in a healthy way.
