The Code of Obesity. Why Stress, Hormones, and Healthy Food Make Us Thicker and How to Cope with It

New

Why do people get fat? The usual paradigm assumes that we eat a lot and move little, hence the result. So try to move more and eat less! Did you lose weight? Of course not. Especially when it comes to... abdominal obesity (fat on the belly and internal organs). People go on diets and starve themselves, but the result only lasts during the period of self-torture.
Doctor-nephrologist, world-renowned specialist in treating obesity and diabetes, Dr. Fang, based on 30 years of research, proves to us that the reason for extra weight lies not in personal inability to restrain oneself. The main culprit of excess weight is the hormone insulin. It is his activity that gives the brain incorrectly assigned values of weight.
In simpler terms, the brain considers an elevated body weight as the norm, and therefore protects it from any encroachments. That’s why diets don’t work in the long term!
