The Hunger Code

Archival Summary & Scope

From acclaimed nephrologist Dr. Jason Fung, author of the multi-million copy bestseller *The Obesity Code*, comes *The Hunger Code*. This book moves beyond calorie counting and quick fixes to address the root causes of weight gain in an era of ultra-processed foods and weight-loss drugs. Dr. Fung reveals the three forces that drive us to eat—Physical, Emotional, and Social Hunger—and introduces the concept of the body's "fat thermostat," a biological set point influenced by hormones and metabolism that dictates lasting weight maintenance. Offering three Golden Rules and 50 actionable tips, *The Hunger Code* empowers readers to recognize and appropriately respond to hunger, manage cravings, and overcome social pressures to achieve sustainable weight loss and keep it off for good.
