Dr. Jason Fung’s approach challenges the conventional calorie-in, calorie-out model, asserting instead that obesity and metabolic diseases are driven by hormonal imbalances, primarily chronic high insulin levels. His diet combines strategic eating windows with a focus on specific, whole foods to improve insulin sensitivity and encourage fat burning.

The CDC reports that over 40% of adults in the United States are obese, a metabolic crisis that conventional calorie-centric diets have struggled to reverse. Dr. Jason Fung offers an alternative perspective, arguing that the key to metabolic health lies in managing the hormone insulin, not just counting calories.

According to Dr. Jason Fung, the founder of the Intensive Dietary Management Program, the fastest way to dramatically lower insulin levels is to simply stop eating, making fasting a cornerstone of his strategy. The question, **Is The Obesity Code about fasting?**, is central to understanding his approach, but the answer is more nuanced than a simple yes.
