The Obesity Code

Lara Engle

My doctor recommended this book to give me guidelines to try to reset my insulin resistance. It should also help me lower my blood pressure, cholesterol, A1C, and lose weight. I am being medically supervised while I make use of the guidelines laid forth in this book, which I would recommend for anyone making these changes.

At times, I found the author to be smug, and I frequently looked up information to confirm with alternate sources. Despite his annoying attitude, the science checks out. I hope this proves true in my body's reaction, as well.

Ahmed Salem

This is very important book to understand a very basis topic. How to avoid the obesity with all costs coming with it.

It is not true with less food and more exercises, you are going it.

Totally shifting my mind. I am going to take care of my self and all others I care about.

Yasser Yahia

The book is really informative, and I believe it was an eye opener for me (a person who always makes fun of people reading what is on the back of the food container they are buying as a sport). After finishing it I feel that I should be more equipped to have a better assessment on how to maintain a more healthy lifestyle with a sort of minimal effort to some extent.

Some parts of the book were kinda repetitive, but I feel the author was doing so because of the number of misconceptions we are facing today and he wanted to stress more on those points than the other ones.

Overall it was a very good read and I will recommend it to people who are interested in such topics

Sharon Steinman

I found it interesting. It had a new perspective on weight loss and dieting than I have previously read or hear about it.

Jason Fung

We are in the midst of an obesity epidemic, but despite being inundated with diet advice we are only getting fatter. We count calories and exercise regularly, yet still the pounds won’t budge. Why? In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr Jason Fung sets out a groundbreaking new theory: that obesity is caused by our hormones, rather than a lack of self-control. He reveals that overproduction of insulin in the body is the root cause of obesity and obesity-related illnesses including type 2 diabetes, and offers robust scientific evidence that reversing insulin resistance is the only way to lose weight in the long term. It turns out that when we eat is just as important as what we eat, so in addition to his five basic steps — a set of life-long eating habits that will improve your health and control your insulin levels — Dr Fung explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight — for good.
