Description

FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR DR. JASON FUNG: The landmark book that is helping thousands of people lose weight for good.

Harness the power of intermittent fasting for lasting weight loss.

Understand the science of weight gain and insulin resistance.

Stop suffering and ditch calorie counting, yoyo diets, and excessive exercise.

In this highly readable book, Dr. Jason Fung, long considered the founder of intermittent fasting, sets out an original theory of obesity and weight gain. He reveals that everything you've been told about how to lose weight is wrong: weight gain is driven by hormones, and only by understanding the effects of insulin and insulin resistance can we achieve lasting weight loss.

Dr. Fung shares five basic steps to controlling your insulin for better health. And he explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight—permanently.

    This book identifies root causes of obesity and does so in a very clear and simplistic way. Fascinating information that can change one’s life. After a decade of slowly gaining weight, I’ve implemented the truths revealed in this book into my daily life and have lost weight quickly and kept it off. Highly recommend to anyone interested or passionate about nutrition and weight management.

    This author did a fantastic job of presenting well organized information without causing the reader to lose the chain of connection/momentum in the explanation of the physiological processes. I also appreciated how he was repetitive with the most important points in a given chapter, and throughout the book, so the punchline was easy to take away. Easy read. Valuable.
