SumoReads is a new offering in the book summary line, providing an overview of published books to enable a reader to get a preview of books before buying. Summary of Jason Fung’s The Obesity Code is the first SumoReads book I’d read, and I must say, I was impressed. The executive summary of this book, which addresses the myths surrounding obesity and dieting, provided in itself an effective overview of the book, supported by detailed discussions of the book’s main takeaways and an editorial review at the end. After reading this brief summary, you’ll come away well-prepared to make a buy/don’t buy decision about a book.

Great, fast reading, targeted summarizing

I'm glad I chose this version of reading the core book that is covered since by synopsizing the content you are able to concentrate the core elements and retain more of the key points in a shorter period of time making those points more emphatic in our memory

Seems like sound advice and makes sense. The summary was a quick read and to the point. I am going to follow his suggestions and see what happens.

Quick overview on intermittent fasting.

I was surprised at how quickly I reached the end of the summary. It may be a little overpriced for the amount of content, but it gave me a good idea what this subject is about. I will be looking for other sources that contain more practical information on making intermittent fasting a party of one's lifestyle.

This is a summary of a much bigger book. It's just about right and summarises well. There is still plenty to take in and I have listened to it 4 times already (audio book).

Just Okay...

This summary version of The Obesity Code breaks out most of the key points of the actual book... But I would strongly recommend reading the Obesity Code first!
