Fung's information is not scientifically factual, and asserting that it is is like plugging your ears and saying "la-la-la, I can't hear you".
He just strings a lot of science-y sounding words together to fool people into thinking he knows what he's talking about.15 -
@mariaros The ONLY thing you have to do to lose weight is insure that the amount of calories you are ingesting each day is less than the amount of calories your body uses in a day. EVERYTHING else is noise. Good luck!7

Fung basically is against steady caloric restriction.
He promotes a form of intermittent fasting wherein people totally fast for longer periods of time (some people go DAYS drinking just water, black coffee and tea) and makes all sorts of woo claims about you will never have metabolic slow down if you do this. The claims almost seem to be saying that people can still keep eating at a high caloric level, if you look at them on the face of it.
You have to buy his books or sit through one of his youtube videos to see what he really says.
Regular eating should happen on the other days (supposedly not counting any calories with ketogenic macros.

Not for me.
I've lost 100+lbs by counting calories which is against what Fung writes about in his (expensive) book. No keto.

Dr. Fung argues that obesity is not about calories or fat grams or exercise, but about hormones. I don't agree.

I've been maintaining my 50 pound loss for 15 years. I'd like to know when I'm going to wake up and it's back, so I can be sure to have enough loose clothes around.13

Fung believes CICO is a "theory". That automatically makes him a "woo" seller of whatever program he wants people to believe it.
OP, people get obese eating more than they need to. Whether it's protein, carbs, or fat. The more overweight someone gets, the higher risk they have for diabetes, metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, etc.
