Synopses & Reviews
The Obesity Code explores the latest in nutritional science to unearth the root causes of obesity. Rigorous examination of the evidence reveals serious flaws in our fundamental belief that eating too much and moving too little leads to obesity. Unchallenged faith in the calories in/calories out model has actually resulted in our inability to reverse the rapid increase in obesity.
In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr. Jason Fung sets out an original, more robust theory of obesity that provides startling insights into proper nutrition. Obesity is a hormonal, not a caloric, imbalance. Dr. Fung provides practical, effective advice on weight loss and the treatment of type-2 diabetes based on sound scientific principles.
Review
"In The Obesity Code, Dr. Jason Fung triumphs in explaining the core underlying causes of obesity and manages to simplify it in a way that anybody can understand. If more doctors and people were able to understand these causes and implement Dr. Fung's actionable advice then we would be able to start reversing the obesity epidemic tomorrow." Sam Feltham, USA Today World Fitness Elite Trainer of the Year
