FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR DR. JASON FUNG: The landmark book that is helping thousands of people lose weight for good.- Harness the power of intermittent fasting for lasting weight loss
- Understand the science of weight gain, obesity, and insulin resistance
- Enjoy an easy and delicious low carb, high fat diet
- Ditch calorie counting, yoyo diets, and excessive exercise for good
Everything you believe about how to lose weight is wrong. Weight gain and obesity are driven by hormones—in everyone—and only by understanding the effects of the hormones insulin and insulin resistance can we achieve lasting weight loss.
In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr. Jason Fung, long considered the founder of intermittent fasting, sets out an original theory of obesity and weight gain. He shares five basic steps to controlling your insulin for better health. And he explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance and reach a healthy weight—for good.

I consume the same amount of calories everyday and have been losing weight using IF. One meal a day. Whatever I want to eat and including dessert. I lost about a pound a month eating whatever I want. But for 4 weeks, I cut 500-600 calories of alcohol a day and lost 10lbs that month. I count and log calories so I know what I am consuming. It's not just CICO. Hormones and insulin play a big role in metabolism.
I know several people that are no longer needing diabetes medication after starting IF and losing a lot of weight. Those folks did cut sugar and probably naturally consumed less calories even though they weren't trying to.
I found IF easy to follow as now can't stand eating breakfast or lunch. Makes me feel bloated. Early dinner only for me. No need to stop working to grab lunch or worry about making breakfast. More time for myself and save money on buying lunch. I leave work early because I don't take a break for lunch. I don't need the break. Prefer to just leave early.
Here's the secret: hunger lasts 10-15 mins. If you fight through it, it will go away. I found myself making a sandwich when I was too hungry after skipping lunch and breakfast but then I'd no longer be hungry by the time I finished making the sandwich. Ate it anyways. Then after this happened a few times I decided to wait and the hugger feeling went away as expected. I get hungry at 3pm everyday and by 3:20 its gone. I eat from 5-7pm. 22 hours fasting, 2 hours eating/snacking

Actually, if you read the book, he talks about how eating less calories than you expend has been shown to be too basic of a theory. But please, provide us some proof for your comment.

I like the idea of intermittent fasting for no reason other than that making food is one less thing that takes up time. Ironically, I love cooking, but I have to make food for my kids, and cooking for them is no fun 😆
It's basically just a method to regulate insulin levels (I.e. reduce hyperinsulinemia). Calorie restriction and/or keto are supplements to this approach, but not required. As I recall, Dr Fung began using this method because his diabetic patients were resistant to carb restriction.
