Dr. Jason Fung

Oddly the best book on dieting I have read. Much appreciated point that at the moment, as far as diets, things are complicated, and science still has much work to do. Moral of the story is.. starve a bit - its natural.

Dr. Fung goes into great detail about how we ended up with the products in our grocery stores. Spoiler alert - it is more about what you eat than how much you eat, not all calories are the same. I enjoyed the educational experience of the book.

I don't know why I bought this book but I already had it. I recently started listening to the Low Carb MD podcast and Jason Fung was part of the second episode. Pretty interesting way of looking at why low carb helps people as well as why fasting helps.

Interesting story of the history of medical theories about what cancer is, how and why it develops, and approaches to treatments from ancient to current times. It reads like a novel, even a page turner. I’m left with a sense of how medical science progresses, with uneven pace and exciting breakthroughs, even cures for some cancers. And I’m left with support for making some lifestyle changes to reduce chances of occurrence and recurrence.
