À propos de cet audio

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.

Doctor Jason Fung’s book is simply revolutionary in many ways. He is part of a determined, intelligent, and standing with integrity group of medical professionals who are not afraid to publish true facts about so called “nutrition science” that is largely responsible for today’s epidemic of diabetis,obesity and plethora of related metabolic illnesses. My deep respect to this doctor for all amazing work he is doing that benefits anyone who seeks to grow and maintain their health and to age well.

Very well written, insightful and helpful. Backed with a lot of medical research, a really interesting approach to fat loss and overall health.

Very insightful

Dr Fung provides great information on why diets don't work longer term. He also explains the relationship between weight gain and insulin and how fasting addresses the shortcomings of other diets. The narration really the material down. Excessive inflection and pronunciation errors often distracting from interesting information.

Great Information

Weight explained from every angle, including those avoided by most current weight management plans. I recommend it especially to those that are tired of failing.

Definitely a must read (listen)!

Let me start with the pluses. This book does a great job of explaining the science behind obesity. It’s very comprehensive without becoming too technical. If you are someone that likes to understand the “why”, you’ll really appreciate the information contained within.

The author has a sense of humour and is practical about what people realistically can and will do. So many weight loss books are so impossible that you know from the start you’ll never be able to achieve the perfection they profess. The author treats you like a human being with a social life, preferences, a job, kids, etc and not like a superhuman robot.

If I’m being picky, I would say that at times I was thinking “okay, I get it, let’s move on”, but overall the author does a great job of explaining some complex issues. He cites ample peer reviewed, quality scientific studies to back up his opinions and methods.

The biggest downside for me was that the narrator frequently refers to tables and charts that just aren’t available to the audiobook listener. Most of the time I was okay without them, but there were a few that it would have been nice to get the info from. The narrator refers to them but never goes over them.

He does read the appendix at the end, that include a recipe, an FAQ, etc. Some of those might be nice to have on an actual document you can come back to, but at least he read them for the audience so you can take notes if needed.

I am not someone who jumps on every fad, or has tried a million diets. I’ve always been an everything in moderation kind of person. However, this book has given me a lot of useful information that I feel well equipped to try. The author provides plenty of solid evidence for fasting and it has changed my mind about this method. I think it’s a great read for anyone who is overweight or has a loved one that is. Just from an understanding point of view you’ll feel better about being overweight. There is no guilt or shame placed on you for being a human who happens to be overweight (or know someone that is).

As I stated earlier, there are times when you feel a little clubbed over the head and wish it could move along faster but the author was engaging and very practical in his advice.

Great....but...

This book describes accurately and accounts for all that goes wrong when you diet. I accept and agree with the associated logic and the research

Great book for people who have dieted before

This book has changed the perceptions of obesity and weight loss, also highlights the ever changing scientific recommendations. Yesterday's ones are not valid today, today's findings may be disproved on coming days.
This book gives lots of tips on obesity control.
Good read.

Excellent book.
