The Obesity Code: Why I wrote it
In today’s world, the prevalence of obesity has reached alarming levels and millions of people around the world struggle to maintain a healthy weight. In his groundbreaking book The Obesity Code, Dr. Jason Fung explores the complexities of obesity and explains why traditional weight loss methods often fail. So why did he write it?
The frightening rise in obesity around the world
Obesity is not just a personal problem; It’s a global epidemic. According to recent statistics, obesity rates have skyrocketed in recent decades, causing serious health consequences and straining health systems around the world.
Obesity is a hormone-related behavior
Contrary to popular belief, obesity is not simply the result of overeating and lack of exercise. It is a behavior controlled by hormones, with insulin and leptin playing a crucial role in regulating body weight.
Is this protein resistance stopping people from losing weight?
Many people struggle to lose weight despite their best efforts, and protein resistance may be the cause. Understanding this phenomenon can shed light on why traditional weight loss approaches often fail.
Do we inherit obesity from our parents?
Although genetics predispose some people to obesity, it is not entirely determined by ours.
