Everything you believe about how to lose weight is wrong. Weight gain and obesity are driven by hormones—in everyone—and only by understanding the effects of insulin and insulin resistance can we achieve lasting weight loss.

In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr. Jason Fung sets out an original, robust theory of obesity that provides startling insights into proper nutrition. In addition to his five basic steps, a set of lifelong habits that will improve your health and control your insulin levels, Dr. Fung explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight—for good.
Fat 2 Fit: Getting There And Staying There is the book which places every effective bit of information and advice about weight loss in one place. The Fat 2 Fit program, which was explained in detail over 100 episodes and three years of the Fat 2 Fit Radio podcast, is now compiled into a single and powerful reference book. This is the weight loss and fitness manual you have been waiting for.

If you want to lose 15 pounds by next week, this is not the book for you. If you want to be strong, lean and healthy for the rest of your life without crazy starvation diet plans and insane workout schedules, this book is for you. If you truly want a better body and never want to go back to the old unhealthy version of yourself, the keys to your success are all here.
Today, most doctors, dietitians, and even diabetes specialists consider type 2 diabetes to be a chronic and progressive disease—a life sentence with no possibility of parole. But the truth, as Dr. Fung reveals in this paradigm-shifting book, is that type 2 diabetes is reversible. Writing with clear, persuasive language, he explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease. The only way to treat type 2 diabetes effectively, he argues, is proper dieting and intermittent fasting—not medication.
