Diet is so much more important for weight loss / maintenance than exercise. You can obviously have a healthy diet that does not include IF, but for most people they need to do something about their diet, and can’t just add exercise.

For most people, I tend to agree. A big part of The Obesity Code is unpacking the reasons why. One of the reasons is debunking the perception that weight loss is simply about calories in and calories out.

Another part of the story is showing the feedback cycles between glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance. I made a line art drawing as a gist, here:

I already pasted it into another comment, so I don't want to exceed my line art threshold here.
