A
quick look at the book:
Professor
Farid (a teacher at the University of Cape Town) praised this book in a long
talk, but I'll summarize it so that the article is not long:
In
the Obesity Code, Dr. Funghas has produced the most important collection of
books published on the topic of obesity.
At
the end of the book, the meticulous reader will understand exactly what causes
the obesity epidemic, why our attempts to prevent obesity and diabetes have
failed, and most importantly, what simple steps should those with weight
problems take. obesity.
Often
times, our current obesity model assumes that there is only one real cause, and
that is that all other causes are present.
Not
providing a single coherent framework that can explain most of who we are at
the moment, given that we know the true causes of obesity,”Dr. Funghas.
The
first part of this book, The Epidemic, explores the timeline of the obesity
epidemic and the contribution of a patient's family history, and explains how
both shed light on the underlying causes.
The
second part, "The Calorie Fool", reviews current caloric depth
theory, including studies of exercise and overnutrition. Highlight deficiencies
in the current understanding of obesity.
The
third part, "A New Model of Obesity", presents the hormonal theory of
obesity, which is a powerful explanation of obesity as a medical problem. These
chapters explain the central role of insulin in regulating body weight and
describe the vital role of insulin resistance.
The
fourth part, "The Social Phenomenon of Obesity", deals with how the
hormonal theory of obesity explains some of the links with obesity. Why is
obesity linked to poverty? What can we do about childhood obesity?
Part
Five, "What's Wrong with Our Diet?" In this article, he explores the
role of fats, proteins, carbohydrates, the three macronutrients, and weight
gain. Additionally, we examined one of the main causes of weight gain -
fructose - and the effects of artificial sweeteners.
Part
VI, "The Solution", provides guidelines for the permanent treatment
of obesity by treating the hormonal imbalance of high insulin in the blood.
