From the Author

The Diabetes Code

Today, most doctors, dietitians, and even diabetes specialists consider type 2 diabetes to be a chronic and progressive disease — a life sentence with no possibility of parole. But the truth, as Dr. Fung reveals, is that type 2 diabetes is reversible.

The Obesity Code

In addition to his five basic steps — a set of lifelong 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.

The Complete Guide to Fasting

Fasting is not about starving oneself. When done right, it's an incredibly effective therapeutic approach that produces amazing results regardless of diet plan.
