    About this ebook

    The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss | Summary

    Summary Preview:
    As a practicing physician, Jason Fung tends to heavily rely upon scientific studies as a means to explain his various viewpoints on obesity, as well as to debunk commonly held myths on obesity and assumptions that can become problematic. A great deal of the studies that he uses are from the past ten years, but a few date several decades back, mostly in order to demonstrate how nutrition and obesity research has progressed and evolved over long periods of time. Fung makes a strong effort to put his focus upon causal factors rather than association studies, as associations aren’t always as concrete or as helpful as causation can be. In conjunction with scientific research, Fung takes time to describe various biological processes that demonstrate how different bodily systems work in concert to either promote weight gain or weight loss.

    Many great books are released every year and most avid readers know that they may never have time to read all of the books on their list. In today’s world, many people do not get as much time to read as they would like, so it is important to use any reading time wisely. The problem with this is that it can be very difficult to know if a book is worth reading until you have already invested some time into reading it. This is one of the many reasons that Summary Station was created.

We make sure to provide you with as much information about a book as we possibly can.
