Description
New York Times bestselling author Dr. Jason Fung helped thousands of people lose weight with his groundbreaking book The Obesity Code.
Now, he offers the ultimate companion cookbook, filled with zero carb recipes and intermittent fasting plans to help readers lose weight, manage type 2 diabetes, and increase longevity, all while eating delicious food.
In his original bestseller The Obesity Code, Dr. Jason Fung showed us that everything about our metabolism, including our weight, depends upon on our hormones. He showed us that the hormone insulin triggers our bodies to store calories as fat, and that once we understand weight gain as a result of excess insulin and homonal imbalance in our body, we can begin to treat it by looking at what’s on our plate.
Enter The Obesity Code Cookbook, a collection of mouthwatering recipes for your journey to lower insulin, lose weight for good, and reverse and prevent type 2 diabetes. More than a recipe book, it comes with bonus material including:
- A guide to stocking your pantry with the right foods (and ditching the wrong foods);
- Fung’s easy-to-understand explainers on how weight gain and weight loss really work;
- intermittent fasting FAQs and best practices;
- and meal plans for 16-hour, 24-hour, and 36-hour fasts.
In other words, The Obesity Code Cookbook will not only show you what to eat, but also when to eat it—and why.
But eating this way doesn’t have to bland. The Obesity Code Cookbook’s many delicious comfort foods include:
- Hearty breakfasts like the Everyday Omelette and Coconut Pancakes;
- Flavorful vegetable mains like Roasted Cauliflower with Turmeric and Tahini and spicy Thai Vegetable Curry
- Scrumptious seafood such as Scallops with Prosciutto and Chili Garlic Shrimp
- Meat-forward mains such as Gruyere Meat Loaf, Pork Belly with Star Anise, Roast Chicken Thighs with Lemon and Tea-Braised Duck with Fennel
And don’t forget about desserts and snacks: Nut Bars with Chocolate Drizzle, Almond Fig Cake, and Walnut Power Balls are just a few of the delights you’ll enjoy while eating your way to a healthier, better you.
Praise for Dr. Jason Fung:
“The doctor who invented intermittent fasting.”—The Daily Mail
“Dr. Jason Fung’s explanation of insulin resistance and the accompanying insulin model of obesity is original, brilliant and game changing.”
—Zoë Harcombe, Obesity researcher, author of The Harcrombe Diet
Dr. Jason Fung triumphs in explaining the core underlying causes of obesity and manages to simplify it in a way that anybody can understand. If more doctors and people were able to understand these causes and implement Dr. Fung’s actionable advice then we would be able to start reversing the obesity epidemic tomorrow.”
—Sam Feltham, USA Today World Fitness Elite Trainer of the Year
“Fung zeroes in on why insulin resistance has become so prevalent and offers specific outside-the-box solutions that have emerged as the key to maximizing health.”
—Jimmy Moore, author, Keto Clarity and Cholesterol Clarity

Method Really Works!
I have lost 11kg in six months and need to buy clothes that fit.
Dislikes: None
Likes: Great book and recipes. The solution to obesity in this book is all you need. No need to buy his Obesity Code Book that has too many details. “The Solution: in this book is exactly as in his other book.
No need to buy both books like I did.

Backstory:
When I was diagnosed Type 2 diabetes about a year and a half ago, I was a bit shell shocked, if maybe not surprised. My lifestyle and genetics (mainly my lifestyle, or lack thereof) made it almost an unavoidable given. I went from working over 40 hours a week on my feet to being a 24/7 caregiver to my elderly parents. The sedentary lifestyle and terrible food choices put me on the fast track to diabetes, so, yeah, I guess I wasn’t surprised. After that almost predictable diagnosis, I did what many do..Google. And even looked on Youtube. It was on Youtube that I found what I call my saving grace….Dr. Jason Fung. He was the first Youtube video that resonated with me. It finally made sense, and a “lightbulb” moment happened. I didn’t need the seeming unavoidable sentence of a lifetime prescription of med’s..I just needed to drastically change what I ate. I was a bit hesitant to try Intermittent Fasting that Jason talked about, but I thought, why not? I immediately lost a lot of weight and noticed changes in my overall health for the better. I had more energy and felt like ‘my old self’ again, not a tired worn out old lady. Shoot, I was only in my late 40’s, yet until ‘discovering’ Jason Fung, I had felt as old as my parents, who were in their 80’s. I also tried to figure out an eating plan like Dr. Fung alluded to, and that led me to basically begin following low carb/low sugar eating habits. I don’t like to use the word ‘keto,’ but rather low carb/low sugar. Sugar is truly the enemy, and carbs run close behind sugar for sabotaging health, imho.
So, I had since always been wanting/wishing for/hoping with all my heart that the ‘master’ himself finally put out a cookbook, and here it is, and I am not disappointed. I always thought, what does Dr. Fung eat..? Well, these recipes may or may not be what he eats on the daily, but they are apparently Fung-approved. And they all look like what I imagined Dr. Fung eating, wholesome REAL food, nothing fancy, no exotic nor expensive ingredients, just REAL FOOD recipes. Easy to understand, easy to make. Yes, I already know by perusing this cookbook, there are the types of recipes that my bloodwork thanks me for, and I want to thank Jason Fung and the publisher for. Finally, the ‘master’ has spoken..and this is my ‘bible..Thank you, Dr. Fung. You have helped me avoid a very ugly path of unhealthiness. I am so grateful. This is all I need. Yes, I have some ‘keto’ and low carb/low sugar cookbooks, but this is one ‘healthy’ cookbook that will always be on my top shelf, easy to access. This one will never end up in the donation bin. Thank you again, Dr. Fung, and I will always look forward to your next book!

Im Gegensatz zu vielen amerikanischen Rezensionen kann ich nicht behaupten, hier würden unnötig schwer einzukaufende Bestandteile gefordert oder das Essen sei zu kompliziert zuzubereiten. Ich denke das meiste hat ein europäischer Haushalt ohnehin vorrätig, zu kaufen gibt es definitiv alles auch ohne größeren Aufwand. Das Buch hat nicht für jedes Gericht auch ein hübsches Foto, gefühlt ein Drittel wird auch optisch präsentiert. Wer sich gerne optisch führen lässt wird vielleicht mit einem anderen Werk glücklicher. Und, nicht zu vergessen: anders als andere Kochbücher werden hier keine Kalorienangaben zu den Gerichten gemacht. Das kann allerdings nur überraschen, wenn man die Philosophie des Herausgebers ignoriert: Eine Kalorie ist eben nicht eine Kalorie. Was man aufnimmt, aber im Darm nur teilweise resorbiert, zählt für die Darmbakterien, aber nicht für den Menschen. Proteine verbrauchen zur Verbrennung Energie, da sie hierfür erst umgebaut werden müssen. Fructose belastet die Leber massiv. Die alte Rechnung FdH geht eben nicht völlig auf: sie macht Abnehmen schwerer und tut wenig für die Gesundheit, denn schließlich ist zuviel Körperfett ein Symptom und nicht die eigentliche Krankheit. Die Einleitung geht darauf in aller Kürze und ohne tiefer Erklärung ein. Die Rezepte sind weder rein Keto oder Vegetarisch, jedoch durchgehend low carb, bezogen auf den tatsächlich für den Körper verfügbaren Nährwert. Die Mengenangaben schwanken zwischen 4 und 6 Personen, aber auch für mich als Teilzeitsingle ist es unproblematisch, entsprechend herunter zu rechnen. Ich bin mit dem Kauf sehr zufrieden.

Right away I tried the chia seed parfait – using the frozen fruit I had in the freezer (cherries, blueberries, mango) – I enjoyed it and it was nice to eat something that was only sweetened by the natural fruit.
I find there is flexibility with the ingredients in the recipes.
There are a few recipes I want to try – I like the pictures and don’t need pictures for everything.
Most recipes are easy to follow & not complicated.
Anyone who is adventurous & health conscious would have the ingredients listed in this book – I didn’t find that there were ingredients not in my cupboards.
It has a good read at the beginning to educate people on the Obesity Code – I have just started the Intermittent Fasting and it was not as difficult as I thought it would be. It is actually good to feel a little bit hungry. I am losing weight. It is a commitment to make this your lifestyle. I have tried many diets & I remember that the intermittent fasting worked the best for me in the past as well. I am more motivated towards getting to a healthier weight & trying the recipes than I have been in a long time.

I love the book, however the print is too light and small, making it extremely hard to read. Idk if one batch of books printed is like this, or they were simply printed this way. Wonderful easy recipes. Healthy, flavourful and delicious foods!

I was waiting to write a review until I’d tried some of the recipes. I think I’ve completed around 10, and have never been disappointed! The flavors are amazing and although some of the ingredients aren’t staples I would normally have, I go into each recipe with an open mind and am so glad that I made it. My fiancé has loved everything made so far too. As a side benefit, I’ve lost about 8 lbs following the fasting and eating recommendations.

If you’re looking for a great summary of Fung’s Obesity Code and a practical guide to applying it, here’s the book you’ve been waiting for. The first 30 pages are worth the price of the book alone – a concise explanation of the link between insulin and obesity (and metabolic syndrome generally), and a practical guide for losing fat and improving overall health using fasting and simple dietary recommendations: don’t snack between meals, reduce processed foods especially sugars factory milled flour, eat plenty of good fats, eat protein in moderation, reduce carbs, increase fiber.
Other reviewers complained about the lack of dietary information for each recipe in this book, which suggests they failed to read or understand the first 30 pages of the Obesity Code Cookbook. The whole purpose of the book is to liberate people from the prevailing myths surrounding obesity and treatments for obesity (calories in/calories out, eat less/exercise more, counting calories, counting carbs, etc.), and put people on the path to good health through the use of intermittent fasting and the simple dietary recommendations outlined in the fist chapter of this book. There’s simply no need to track dietary information for each meal – just enjoy the food.
For those looking for a more detailed explanation of the insulin theory of obesity and a systematic debunking of all other theories of obesity, you should definitely also read Fung’s book, The Obesity Code. I highly recommend both books.
