Hi
Happened to be reading a book called The Obesity Code. Though I have not finished it yet. I thought it’s important to share it with as many people as I can.
The book is written by Dr Jason Fung whose multiple videos on diabetes and weight loss are available on YouTube. He advocates Intermittent Fasting and a low Carbohydrate diet.
In the first part of the book he talks about how we have been made to believe that calorie in and out is the primary equation of the state of obesity one has. He removed this misconception and quotes multiple studies on the same. He focuses on the play of hormones specifically insulin and cortisol and other hunger and satiety hormones. He shows how they are actually responsible for our weight.
The second half of the book focuses on on our diets and a solution to obesity.
Though I am not obese though a little overweight I have been following intermittent fasting for 2 odd months. It has led to just under 10% loss in my bodyweight. I was able to bring down my blood pressure to normal levels within a few weeks.
I had only seen his videos before on the advice of @crazymama
Do read this for the benefit of your health and family.
