The Obesity Code

Jason Fung

In “The Obesity Code,” Dr. Jason Fung argues that consuming less calories and exercising more will not make you thinner permanently because the real cause of obesity is not excess caloric consumption or physical inactivity, but a hormonal imbalance that is the result of years of consistently elevated insulin levels. Fung backs up his claims with the latest science and offers a simple five-step solution for long-term, sustained weight loss.
