Why people recommend it

Dr. Jason Fung's The Obesity Code examines the root hormonal causes of weight gain and advocates for intermittent fasting and dietary changes to restore metabolic health. On an episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast titled 2026 Body Reset, Dr. Betsy Grunch mentioned reading the book to understand how the human body processes food, which helped her make sustainable changes to her own diet and health habits. Steven Bartlett also discussed the title across episodes of The Diary Of A CEO with Dr. Jason Fung, asking the author about his primary motivations for writing it. During their conversation, Bartlett referenced a specific statistic from page 132 of the book concerning breakfast eaters and their overall caloric intake. Health experts, podcasters, and listeners frequently recommend the volume for its clear, science-backed challenge to conventional dietary wisdom, providing actionable frameworks for anyone looking to reverse insulin resistance, improve longevity, and take back control of their long-term physical health.
