The Hungry Brain – If you enjoyed the science in this book and want to take it to the next level in terms of understanding how our brains are hijacked by our modern environment, this book is a must-read.And, may be a better choice for those who want to implement fasting, but care less about hearing detailed studies results. Jason Fung (yup, same author), Megan Ramos PhD, and Eve Mayer. It includes more personal stories from the three authors, Dr. Life in the Fasting Lane – This book is less science and more tactical.If you’re looking for something a little different, you might enjoy: This same phenomenon can be reversed by essentially doing the opposite – reducing your meal frequency by fasting regularly and reducing your consumption of insulin-spiking foods.Insulin resistance is the single biggest culprit in obesity and Type II diabetes - insulin resistance is caused by chronically spiking insulin through consuming a diet high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, processed foods, and frequent meals.There is a new model of understanding weight gain and the roles our hormones insulin, cortisol, and leptin play in causing us to gain or lose body fat (insulin = fat storage traffic controller (both out of and into fat cells), cortisol = causes stress induced weight gain, leptin = determines hunger thermostat’s set point).When it comes to weight loss, diet and exercise are NOT equal and diet plays a much bigger role in weight loss (or gain).(as this simplified equation would require) not perfectly simplistic Newtonian physics models The Calories In Calories Out methodology doesn’t work - because, in a nutshell, we are complex biological organisms regulated by hormones vs.Our body’s methods of weight regulation have been misunderstood and this lack of understanding has contributed to the obesity epidemic we now face in the western world.The big takeaways from this book include:
