We've all heard the mantra for weight loss:

"Eat less, move more."

While this does play some role, what really affects weight loss is insulin.

When I started my current weight loss journey, my doctor recommended the book "Delay, Don't Deny" to help me better understand intermittent fasting. In that book, the author, Gin Stephens, refers and recommends many other books and studies. One of these is "The Obesity Code" by Dr. Jason Fung.

Dr. Fung proves (over and over) that insulin is what causes weight gain, more than limiting calories or burning more calories than you take in.

I recommend that you check out these books for yourself, too.
