Perfect for you if...

  • You've tried multiple diets and always regained the weight, and you're ready to understand the hormonal mechanics behind it.
  • You're sceptical of conventional diet advice and want science-backed explanations for why calorie counting fails most people.
  • You're interested in intermittent fasting but need a thorough foundation in how and why it actually works.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer step-by-step meal plans and recipes over conceptual understanding of metabolic theory.
  • You're looking for quick fixes or dramatic transformations rather than a deep rethink of how your body works.
  • You have a medical condition that requires individualised supervision and aren't prepared to discuss intermittent fasting with your doctor first.

About this book

Dr. Jason Fung presents a theory of obesity and weight gain centered on hormonal regulation rather than calorie restriction. The book argues that insulin and insulin resistance are the primary drivers of weight gain, and that understanding these mechanisms is essential for achieving lasting weight loss. Fung outlines five basic steps for controlling insulin levels and explains how intermittent fasting can be used to break cycles of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight. The book advocates moving away from traditional approaches such as calorie counting, yo-yo diets, and excessive exercise.
