We are in the midst of an obesity epidemic, but despite being
inundated with diet advice we are only getting fatter. We count
calories and exercise regularly, yet still the pounds won't budge.
Why? In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr Jason Fung
sets out a groundbreaking new theory: that obesity is caused by our
hormones, rather than a lack of self-control. He reveals that
overproduction of insulin in the body is the root cause of obesity
and obesity-related illnesses including type 2 diabetes, and offers
robust scientific evidence that reversing insulin resistance is the
only way to lose weight in the long term. It turns out that when we
eat is just as important as what we eat, so in addition to his five
basic steps - a set of life-long eating habits that will improve
your health and control your insulin levels - Dr Fung explains how
to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin
resistance and reach a healthy weight - for good.

health and make sense of her body, hormones, and sustainable
fasting strategies. "—Cynthia Thurlow, author of Intermittent
Fasting Transformation "Intermittent fasting has changed my body,
mind, and life. I am truly grateful and humbled by humans like
Megan who are sharing the truth about health."—Raven-Symoné

Our understanding of cancer is slowly undergoing a revolution,
allowing for the development of more effective treatments. For the
first time ever, the death rate from cancer is showing a steady
decline ... but the 'War on Cancer' has hardly been won. In The
Cancer Code, Dr Jason Fung offers a revolutionary new understanding
of this invasive, often fatal disease - what it is, how it
manifests and why it is so challenging to treat. In this rousing
narrative, Dr Fung identifies the medical community's many missteps
in cancer research - in particular, its focus on genetics, or what
he terms the 'seed' of cancer, at the expense of examining the
'soil,' or the conditions under which cancer flourishes. Dr Fung -
whose ground-breaking work in the treatment of obesity and diabetes
has won him international acclaim - suggests that the primary
disease pathway of cancer is caused by the dysregulation of
insulin. In fact, obesity and type 2 diabetes significantly
increase an individual's risk of cancer. In this accessible read,
Dr Fung provides a new paradigm for dealing with cancer, with
recommendations for what we can do to create a hostile soil for
this dangerous seed. One such strategy is intermittent fasting,
which reduces blood glucose, lowering insulin levels. Another,
eliminating intake of insulin-stimulating foods, such as sugar and
refined carbohydrates. For hundreds of years, cancer has been
portrayed as a foreign invader we've been powerless to stop. By
reshaping our view of cancer as an internal uprising of our own
healthy cells, we can begin to take back control. The seed of
cancer may exist in all of us, but the power to change the soil is
in our hands.

Fung zeroes in on why insulin resistance has become so prevalent
and offers specific outside-the-box solutions that have emerged as
the key to maximizing health." --Jimmy Moore, author, Keto Clarity
and Cholesterol Clarity Everything you believe about how to lose
weight is wrong. Weight gain and obesity are driven by hormones--in
everyone--and only by understanding the effects of insulin and
insulin resistance can we achieve lasting weight loss. In this
highly readable and provocative book, Dr. Jason Fung sets out an
original, robust theory of obesity that provides startling insights

An instant New York Times Bestseller Take the guesswork (and fear)
out of fasting with real-life and expert advice In recent years,
intermittent fasting--restricting calorie intake for a set number
of hours or days--has become an increasingly popular diet strategy.
While some in the medical community initially dismissed the idea as
a dangerous fad, recent research not only validates the safety of
fasting for weight loss but also offers compelling evidence of
wide-ranging health benefits, from reversal of diabetes and other
metabolic disorders to enhanced cognitive function and increased
longevity. But for many who are eager to try out fasting, the
regimen can feel a bit intimidating. After all, abstaining from
food doesn't sound like much fun. People rightly wonder: How often
can I eat? Will I be able to focus at work? Will I have enough
energy to exercise? And perhaps the most concerning question of
all: Won't I be hungry all the time?! Enter Dr. Jason
Fung--world-renowned fasting expert--his colleague, Megan Ramos,
and Eve Mayer, who has experienced the life-changing benefits of
fasting through Dr. Fung's program. Together, they've teamed up to
write a one-of-a-kind guide that answers the most common questions
people have about fasting--and offers a customizable program that
provides real results. In Life in the Fasting Lane, Dr. Fung,
Ramos, and Mayer take the reader by the hand and walk them through
the basics of a fasting lifestyle--from the science behind fasting
as a health and weight loss strategy to the real-life choices and
dilemmas people commonly encounter. While Dr. Fung and Ramos
explain the fundamentals of fasting and offer a customizable
approach, Mayer shares her in-the-trenches perspective and hard-won
knowledge as a success story who turned her life around with
fasting. With chapters that address everything from meal planning
to mental strategies; exercise to socializing, Life in the Fasting

FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR DR. JASON FUNG * "The doctor
who invented intermittent fasting."-The Daily Mail "Dr. Fung
reveals how [type 2 diabetes] can be prevented and also reversed
using natural dietary methods instead of medications ... This is an
important and timely book. Highly recommended."-Dr. Mark Hyman,
author of The Pegan Diet "Dr. Jason Fung has done it again. ... Get
this book!"-Dr. Steven R. Gundry, author of The Plant Paradox
Everything you believe about treating type 2 diabetes is wrong.
Today, most doctors, dietitians, and even diabetes specialists
consider type 2 diabetes to be a chronic and progressive disease-a
life sentence with no possibility of parole. But the truth, as Dr.
Fung reveals in this groundbreaking book, is that type 2 diabetes
is reversible. Writing with clear, persuasive language, Dr. Fung
explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other
blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem,
leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease. The only
way to treat type 2 diabetes effectively, he argues, is proper
dieting and intermittent fasting-not medication. "The Diabetes Code
is unabashedly provocative yet practical ... a clear blueprint for
everyone to take control of their blood sugar, their health, and
their lives."- Dr. Will Cole, author of Intuitive Fasting
Thousands of books have been written about the latest and greatest
diets that will help people lose weight and improve health. But a
key element in any successful nutritional health program is a
tried-and-true method that most people haven't thought about. This
ancient secret is fasting. In The Complete Guide to Fasting, he has
teamed up with international bestselling author and veteran health
podcaster Jimmy Moore to explain what fasting is really about, why
it's so important, and how to fast in a way that improves health.
