Dr. Fung's The Obesity Code talks about old beliefs in weight loss. He argues that obesity isn't about exercise, caloric intake or how often do we eat. It is certainly about hormones. The main source of regulating our metabolism is the most discussed hormone in this book. It is the insulin. High levels of insulin that stored within periods of time in the body causes insulin resistance that can possibly gain weight. Excessive insulinwhich is stimulated by processed grains and sugars and continuous ingestiondirects the body to store more fat and hold on to its fat reserves. The only way to moderate insulin levels and lower weight, he contends, is to minimize the consumption of refined carbohydrates and sugars and go on short, periodic fasts. In this highly rated and most read book, Dr. Jason Fung laid out an original, powerful theory of obesity that provides helpful insights into proper nutrition and diet. He sets out lifelong habits that will improve your health and control your insulin levels.
