Review of
Instaread Summary of The Obesity Code Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss by Jason Fung
Five out of five stars
The book by
Fung is very important for it empasizes something that simply does not get
enough attention in a world bombarded by people making money promising quick
and permanent weight loss. What has emerged as a consequence of the latest
science and decades of experience is that obesity is a far more complex
condition than has been the standard belief. A strategy that worked for one type
of person does not necessarily work for others and can even be
counterproductive. This is a point that needs to be hammered hard over and over
again, testimonials regarding weight loss may be legitimate, but inapplicable.
There is one
aspect of weight problems that is consistent across nearly all bodies and that
is the role of processed flour and sugar in modern diets. Our bodies have
evolved to react in specific ways to the foods we consumed hundreds of
thousands of years ago and these two items baffle our metabolic feedback
processes. That is another point of emphasis in this summary.
The human body
is an extremely complex entity and no common malfunction can be easily
explained or solved. Fung makes that clear regarding obesity and this summary
demonstrates the main points. recent scientific results are used as
justification and there are 18 references, some scientific papers, at the end.
