What Causes Obesity?

By Dietdoctor @DietDoctor1

What is the real cause of obesity? What causes weight gain?

It surely is not excess calories - that's just a description of how people gain weight. It does not explain why, so it's not helpful. Dr. Fung gets into the REAL cause in this presentation.

This talk has only been available for our members before (check out our free trial), but now everyone can watch it above.
