Overview
This two-book paperback set brings together Dr. Jason Fung's foundational science on weight loss and the practical cookbook built to put that science into daily practice. The Obesity Code lays out Fung's hormonal theory of obesity, arguing that insulin, not simple calorie counting, drives long-term weight gain. The Obesity Code Cookbook, developed with Alison Maclean, turns those principles into more than 90 recipes and meal plans readers can actually cook. Together the pair moves from clear, evidence-based theory into the kitchen, giving health-focused readers a coherent path from understanding insulin resistance to reversing it.

About the Books
Dr. Jason Fung, a Toronto-based nephrologist known for his work on intermittent fasting and low-carb nutrition, wrote The Obesity Code to challenge the conventional "calories in, calories out" model of weight management. He explains how repeated insulin spikes from modern eating patterns drive insulin resistance and stubborn weight gain, and offers a framework built around meal timing, reducing refined carbohydrates, and strategic fasting. The Obesity Code Cookbook was created as a direct companion to that framework. Co-written with food writer Alison Maclean, it translates Fung's science into pantry guides, fasting-friendly meal plans, and a broad range of recipes spanning breakfasts, mains, and desserts, all designed to help stabilize insulin levels without sacrificing flavor. Where the first book builds the case for why insulin matters, the cookbook answers the question of what to actually cook. Read together, the two paperbacks give a reader both the reasoning behind Fung's approach and a ready-made toolkit for applying it in the kitchen.

About the Author
Dr. Jason Fung is a Toronto-based nephrologist known for his writing on intermittent fasting, low-carb nutrition, and the hormonal drivers of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The Obesity Code, his best-known book, set out his central argument that insulin regulation, not calorie counting, is the key to lasting weight control. He has since written further titles on fasting and diabetes, and worked with Alison Maclean on the Cookbook to bring that research into everyday cooking.
