UNDERSTANDING THE ROOTS OF THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC

The Basics of Obesity is a foundational chapter in Jason Fung's book The Obesity Code, where he challenges conventional perspectives on the causes and treatment of obesity. Fung starts by emphasizing that obesity is not merely a matter of excessive calorie intake and sedentary behavior but a complex metabolic disorder influenced by hormonal and environmental factors.

Fung begins by debunking the simplistic notion of obesity solely as a result of consuming more calories than one burns. He argues that this oversimplified calorie-centric view, often promoted by the Caloric Reduction as Primary (CRaP) hypothesis, fails to address the underlying mechanisms driving weight gain and obesity-related health issues.

Central to Fung's argument is the role of insulin, a hormone primarily responsible for regulating blood sugar levels but also playing a crucial role in fat metabolism. Fung explains that when we consume foods high in refined carbohydrates and sugars, our blood sugar levels spike, prompting the pancreas to release insulin. Insulin's primary function is to shuttle glucose into cells for energy production, but it also signals the body to store excess glucose as fat, particularly in adipose tissue.

Moreover, Fung introduces the concept of insulin resistance, a condition where cells become less responsive to insulin's signals over time due to prolonged exposure to high insulin levels. This resistance leads to higher insulin production to maintain normal blood sugar levels, exacerbating fat storage and promoting further weight gain.

Fung contrasts this hormonal perspective with the prevailing belief in the calorie-deficit model, where weight loss is achieved by reducing calorie intake and increasing physical activity. He argues
