The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss | 
pickThis was a very interesting read, if a tad repetitive—forgivable in the name of hammering a point home, I guess? The author‘s claims that insulin/sugars are the key to controlling body weight aren‘t entirely new, but he does go further and more in depth than other things I‘ve read. Mostly it‘s common sense, although intermittent fasting is a new thought for me—not sure I could do it, but I might try and see how it goes. A pick? I guess?
Heading home from a work trip and have 4 hours of driving to spend some time with Dr. Fung. #audiobook #drjasonfung #longdrive
We never consider the implications of the drastic changes we have made in meal timing. Think about it this way: In 1960, we ate three meals a day. There wasn‘t much obesity. In 2014, we eat six meals a day. There is an obesity epidemic.”

1. Highlight from 2010‘s: I started my own business!
2. My 2020 Reading Goal: To use Litsy and Readfeed to track ALL my reading for 2020, something I‘ve wanted to do the past couple of years and hasn‘t been working with a notebook.
3. NYD Food Traditions: No specific New Year‘s Day food traditions now though my family did the southern thing growing up: Greens, black-eyed peas, and ham.
Really enjoying this book as I work my way into hour 20 of a 23 hour fast.
pickAs someone who has struggled with weight for my whole life, I greatly appreciated this book. This book proves, using evidenced-based research, that traditionally recommended weight loss strategies do not work and WHY. It provides a fairly radical solution. I am a public health professional, so the sound logic, research, and personal experience the author uses is really what sets this book apart for me. Wish me luck on testing out this plan! 💪🏻
pickI definitely am not a reader of fitness/diet books (or nonfiction usually), but I‘ve seen a couple of good reviews of this book on Litsy and in the spirit of the fitness challenge, I decided to check it out.
This is good stuff: nothing crazy (cut the sugar, stop eating processed food), but still very eye-opening with an explanation for why it can be so hard to keep weight off. Insightful, well-researched info from a nephrologist.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickGreat book, highly recommend for people looking to lose weight. It completely changes the paradigm on our perception of obesity, weight gaining and dieting. Spoiler alert: eating less and exercising more doesn't work for losing weight. The book explains the role of insulin in our metabolism and weight gaining, what to eat and when to eat. A great read!
pickVery eye-opening!! What you‘ve been told about weight loss and obesity is complete BS. Read this if you want to learn the truth about why we really fight our weight.
pickSaw this book come up on my feed thanks to @Robin11 and through round about ways decided to read it. There seemed to be a lot of truth and well backed information. It seems easier to believe because he isn't selling you on some expensive program.
pickOne of the more revolutionary book on weight loss I have ever read, a lot of eye opener and some radical ideas along with some shocking revelations. A light read which compels you to reflect on the current norms which are overflowing in fitness industry!!
My friend wrote the best weight loss book ever...
