The Obesity Code

I've listened to Dr. Fung on YT when I was researching T2D. 6 years ago I was diagnosed a prediabetic...I was devastated since I exercised regularly...well, most times. However I was still eating what I wanted with the thought of "I'd burn it off at the gym". Some days I went to the gym other times I didn't. Couple that with a VERY stressful job and losing sleep, weight gain became real easy for this 40 something gal...the genetic trait was unlocked and hence the prediabetes diagnosis. I purchased the audiobook and have loved every minute of it! The narrator's voice is clear and captivating. The content will change your way thinking about weight loss/gain. I had already put some of his recommendations in practice and by my 3-mo followup, my doctor was giving me high five because my A1C number was below borderline diabetes. It's a challenge to undo years of dogma that we were taught. But, after listening to Dr. Fung's principles, I am no longer waiting for the food industry to tell me when or what to eat. I stumble back into old habits for short periods of dumbness, but I get back up and keep pressing forward. The weight comes back off and I feel and sleep better. Dr. Fung keeps it real and easy for a non-medical person to understand. He is not afraid to admit when he did things wrong but learned from his mistakes and wants everyone to know what he knows. I highly recommend the book or audiobook if you're diabetic (w/ all of its nasty complicarions), prediabetic or just want to be the one controlling the shape of your body!

Guess I did not read the info on this good enough because I can only play this on my computer. Other than that do like it. Great source of information as to be expected from Dr. Fung.

LIFE CHANGING! My fat, little friend who had been gaining weight each year, started dropping weight like crazy. When I asked her what's going on, she told me to buy this book and go straight to the last 2 chapters first. I'm short and only had 25lbs to lose. I started when I bought the book (2 months ago?) and lost 20lbs so far! I NEVER thought I'd get down to this weight again. Only 5 lbs to go. GET THIS BOOK!!! Seriously!!!!!

I spent extra time trying to purchase an actual paper book. I received a DVD.

A bit dense in places, but a really good review of obesity research basically showing that the cause of obesity is insulin. Too much insulin. The author discusses diets and why they have failed, and why the current recommendations will not work until we address the problem of controlling insulin levels in the body, not sugar levels. I'm a nurse, I understand the process and issues he discusses and I've certainly not heard this before. He makes a compelling case. It's even changed the way I approach weight loss for myself. We'll see how it works!

Works

Love love loved this CD! Listened on my commute to from work. Written by a doctor so some terms were out of my scope of understanding but the entire premise of the book hit home hard and really changed my life. Only thing is wish I could also download so I can listen at home because I really wanted to take notes.

condescending, completely irrelevant information based on platitudes and coming from a platform of "I'm a doctor, I know best." The studies the author cites do not provide evidence based techniques to use. I listened to it from beginning to end, hoping it would get better, but it never did. I advise you to avoid this book. You could use your money more wisely buying a weight loss meditation CD than this audiobook. Complete waste of $10.

Satisfait

Very interesting book to listen to.

Makes so much sense and logical thinking
