Cory York’s Reviews > The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss > Status Update

I like Dr. Fung’s take on obesity. At first, insulin and cortisol seem to be the main culprits, but the real trigger is frequent eating and diets high in refined carbs. Low-carb eating is hard to sustain, and some carb-rich cultures stay lean. Thus, it’s not carbs themselves, but refined ones that spike insulin and keep it high. Constant eating makes it worse, locking the body into fat storage mode.

The foreword already hints at the model that Dr. Fung puts forward. Something I’m already familiar with, but I’ve forgotten as time has passed. I first remember related approach’s in 2017–I hope to return to these theories!
