THE SEQUEL TO THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER THE
OBESITY CODE BY ACCLAIMED NEPHROLOGIST JASON FUNG, MD
"Jason Fung nails it again in The Hunger Code. This
book clearly and compellingly explains why most Americans are overweight and
gives us a concise, evidence-based way to manage our weight with as little
hunger as possible."--Dan Buettner, New York Times bestselling author of
The Blue Zones
The Obesity Code helped thousands of people lose weight
naturally.
The Hunger Code will help thousands more lose weight--and
keep it off--in an era of weight-loss drugs and ultra-processed foods...without
counting calories.
For generations, we've accepted the story that weight loss
can never last--that as soon as we go off the diet or stop taking the
medication, we revert to our old habits, regain the weight, and the
calorie-counting journey starts all over again. Traditional medicine continues
to treat the symptom of weight gain rather than addressing its root causes. Too
often, healthcare systems intervene with quick fixes and short-term solutions,
ignoring the factors that lead to sustainable weight loss that can last a lifetime.
What if the secret to long-term weight maintenance and
better health isn't just about what you eat--or even when you
eat--but why you eat?
With the food industry's reliance on ultra-processed foods
and the popularity of Ozempic and Mounjaro, understanding the forces
behind why we eat is more important than ever before.
In The Hunger Code, New York Times bestselling author Dr.
Jason Fung reveals the three powerful forces that drive us to eat:
- Physical
Hunger
- Emotional
Hunger
- Social
Hunger
Dr. Fung also introduces the concept of the body's "fat
thermostat"--a biological "set point" that regulates how
much fat your body tries to maintain. Guided by hormones and metabolism, this
internal system drives hunger and energy use, explaining why lasting weight
loss requires more than just willpower ...
With three Golden Rules and 50 actionable tips, The Hunger
Code empowers you to recognize and respond to hunger appropriately. Learn how
to slow digestion, break emotional eating cycles, and overcome social pressures
to eat constantly, so you can maintain a healthy weight--from scratch, after
fasting, or after using weight-loss drugs.
