FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR DR. JASON FUNG: The landmark book that is helping thousands of people lose weight for good.
Harness the power of intermittent fasting for lasting weight loss.
Understand the science of weight gain and insulin resistance.
Stop suffering and ditch calorie counting, yoyo diets, and excessive exercise.
In this highly readable book, Dr. Jason Fung, long considered the founder of intermittent fasting, sets out an original theory of obesity and weight gain. He reveals that everything you've been told about how to lose weight is wrong: weight gain is driven by hormones, and only by understanding the effects of insulin and insulin resistance can we achieve lasting weight loss.
Dr. Fung shares five basic steps to controlling your insulin for better health. And he explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight—permanently.

Pretty good summary ! And the reason it's beneficial is it gives us a chance to regain sensitivity to insulin. I've been doing 16:8 fasting for a couple months now and it's helped me lose a few pounds; however I'm not really calorie restricting. Overall I feel better and don't get as hungry throughout the day; and I can focus my energy in the morning on other things
Insulin is a fat storing hormone. The more sugar you put into your system, the more insulin you will produce to get that sugar out of your blood stream, because your blood sugar can only climb so high. The more insulin you produce, the more fat you accumulate, because insulin's job is to get that sugar out of your blood and into cells.
Reduce sugar intake and you'll reduce insulin. Reduce sugar intake enough and consistently, and you'll actually start losing weight because your insulin level will come down AND you will not be as hungry.
I have done 16:8 fasting and low-carb, and it works, painlessly. Because after a few days of adjusting, your body starts using the fat already on your body for caloric needs and you aren't hungry. It is easy to lose weight if you aren't hungry all the time!
The only thing that makes Jason Fung's methods difficult is that America is drowning in sugar everywhere and in everything. What helped me a lot was to keep all the junk food out of the house, and especially no eating after dinner. Snacking in the evening is not necessary, it's just something we do.
Stop eating trash, reduce your carbs, and workout. Stop sitting around watching tv all day.
