![]() To solve this epidemic, he asserts that we need a new, comprehensive theory of obesity. In The Obesity Code, Jason Fung argues that for decades, we’ve misunderstood obesity and, as a result, have consistently failed in our efforts to curb its spread. In addition, we’ll compare Fung’s ideas with perspectives from similar books on obesity, including Why We Get Fat and Salt Sugar Fat.ġ-Page Summary 1-Page Book Summary of The Obesity Code We’ll explore how the body processes food, learn why not all carbs are bad, and discover which foods to avoid at all costs. In this guide, we’ll show why dieting doesn’t work and why exercise actually has little impact on weight loss. ![]() In this guide, we unpack Fung’s theory of obesity, which he developed after observing the weight gain that insulin caused in his diabetic patients, along with his solution for overcoming it. Fung challenges this view, laying out a comprehensive theory of obesity as a hormonal disorder that causes overeating, rather than the other way around. For decades, experts have believed that obesity was a matter of excess calories-that is, that people get fat from overeating. Not according to Jason Fung, author of The Obesity Code and head of the Intensive Dietary Management Program. Weight loss-all it takes is eating less and moving more, right?

I loved both Gaby and Sacha and their story was fun and interesting while still having some drama and pulling of heart strings. While I am not overwhelmed with this story as I have been with some of her other works, I do believe this book to be credit and/or sale worthy.Ĥ.5-5 stars This was a great story. and I found her voice was grating at times. I think perhaps this particular story would have been better for me if I had read it rather than listened. Despite the talent of this author I found that I thought the story lagged. The back drop of touring with her brother's band as Gabby tries to put her life together is light hearted and funny. The developing relationship between Sasha and Gabby evolved slowly and lends itself more to a real life romance rather than a fictional character romance. Rhythm, Chord & Malykhin is witty and humorous as is MZ's style. This story is not one that you have the urge to continue into the wee hours listening to.

Yes, yes, I now understand that word in particular relates to a royal spouse. Why do we have to be all confusing? Can we not just say wife? Like, mistress, hooker, etc.Ĭome to find out, consort is another word for wife or husband. Secondly, for about half the book I confused a consort with an escort. The really boring and confusing first chapter aside, the fact that the royal line hadn’t had a daughter in 200 years astounded me. So this caused some issues for me at first.
