The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss

Overview

Jason Fung presents his interpretation of weight regulation, with particular attention to insulin, food choices, and the timing of eating. Written for a general readership, the book challenges familiar calorie-focused explanations and develops the author's argument for changing eating patterns. It is a consumer health book with a distinct viewpoint, rather than a clinical guideline or a specialist textbook.

What this book covers
