Summary
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 enjoyable 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 lifelong 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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our desktop site.

Stunning gamechanging book
I wasn't sure I will get much more information as I already own "The complete guide to fasting" (which is amazing) but this book is on another level. Its like a journey through history of people trying to loose weight. It's got great insight and most importantly real scientific studies that prove the hipóteses. No other book comes close to explaining why are we fat and how to change that. This one does. Only book you need for fat loss.

Jason Fung is my new hero
This works. I’ve lost 26lbs in 6 weeks through intermittent fasting. I have more energy and feel healthier. I could no recommend this book or Dr Fung’s approach more highly. This audio book is also a very pleasant listen thanks to Brian Nishii’s excellent delivery.

Best book on healthy weight management ever.
I've listened to this book repeatedly already, I've started implementing some of the suggestions and people who know me, are already commenting on how I look a little thinner.
This book is eye opening, jaw dropping. It confirms my suspicions about diets. That they don't work and crucially supplies answers as to why.
And yet focusing on insulin resistance, and the management of that condition returns instant results. Noticeable weight loss in just days, not just months.
I'll be referring to this book for a long time to come.
I couldn't recommend this book more highly.

Brilliant
Enlightening
Light bulb moments
You will most likely need to listen to this more than once as there is a great deal to take in.
I have struggled with weight all of my life and I loose and then regain as a yo yo.
Since listening I have started
intermittent fasting (IF) and drinking water on wakening. Stopped drinking my daily 7up zero and copious lime cordials (weekends allow one) and now looking more at my own diet in baby steps, no potatoes except once a week and feeling much better so far! Don’t hesitate to purchase

One of the most amazing books I've ever "read"!
It's not a long book, however you feel that you have to digest and reflect on the information bit by bit. From beginning to the end it's an amazing content! The author seems very knowledgeable and trustworthy on his arguments, but at the same time he uses a simple language and very practical approach to the theory. The narrator is as great as the book. I highly recommend this title to everyone. Suffering with obesity or not, you will learn so much about your own body!
