Seven Dials Dr Jason Fung 2 Books Collection Set (The Obesity Code Cookbook, The Obesity Code)

This two-book collection by Dr Jason Fung brings together The Obesity Code Cookbook and The Obesity Code. Across the set, Fung presents his view that obesity is driven by hormones, with a particular focus on insulin, and sets out an approach intended to support long-term weight loss.

The Obesity Code Cookbook follows on from the ideas introduced in The Obesity Code, aiming to make it simpler to apply his methods through recipes. The Obesity Code discusses the wider context of the obesity epidemic and questions why calorie counting and regular exercise do not always lead to weight loss, arguing instead for a hormonal explanation and presenting scientific evidence centred on insulin resistance.

Synopses

The Obesity Code Cookbook

From the author of The Obesity Code, this cookbook is designed to help readers follow the methods set out in the original book. It presents recipes intended to change the way you cook, eat, and live.

The Obesity Code

Dr Jason Fung examines the obesity epidemic and challenges common diet advice, including calorie counting and regular exercise, as explanations for why weight loss can stall. He argues that obesity is caused by hormones rather than self-control, identifying insulin overproduction as the root cause of obesity and related illnesses such as type 2 diabetes. The book presents scientific evidence and states that reversing insulin resistance is key to long-term weight loss.
