THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER IN AUSTRALIA AND THE UK
BASED ON THE LATEST GROUNDBREAKING SCIENCE
THE ULTIMATE GUIDE FROM THE CREATOR OF THE 5:2 – HOW TO COMBINE RAPID WEIGHT LOSS AND INTERMITTENT FASTING FOR LONG-TERM GOOD HEALTH
AN EXCITING NEW PROGRAMME BUILT AROUND A MORE MANAGEABLE 800-CALORIE FAST DAY
Six years ago, Dr Michael Mosley started a health revolution with The 5.2 Fast Diet, telling the world about the incredible power of intermittent fasting.
In this book he brings together all the latest science (including a new approach: Time Restricted Eating) to create an easy-to-follow programme.
Recent studies have shown that 800 calories is the magic number when it comes to successful dieting – it’s an amount high enough to be manageable but low enough to speed weight loss and trigger a range of desirable metabolic changes.
Depending on your goals, you can choose how intensively you want to do the programme: how many 800-calorie days to include each week, and how to adjust these as you progress.
Along with delicious, low-carb recipes and menu plans by Dr Clare Bailey, The Fast 800 offers a flexible way to help you lose weight, improve mood and reduce blood pressure, inflammation and blood sugars.
Take your future health into your own hands.

Review
An important, easy to follow book which is full of surprising and effective weight loss tips. It should change a lot of lives for the better.
Dr Mosley, one of the world's leading writers covering nutrition and health, does it again with a very informative and entertaining book.
This diet changed my life. I lost 16kg (35lbs) in the first 8 weeks and I've lost another 6kg (13lbs) since. I was a borderline diabetic but I'm not anymore, in fact I'm healthier than I've ever been.
I lost 40lb and I'm now a size 10. I feel so much better. This approach is now part of my daily life.
Not so much a diet as a new way of living. I've followed Michael's advice ever since my third bout of cancer and I have not looked back --This text refers to the paperback edition.

According to the good doctor, 800 calories (3424 kilojoules) is much more sustainable than his original 500 (2140 kilojoules) calories.
The Meal Plans included in the book show plans for 3 meals or 2 meals (if you include a 16 hour fast) per day so you can choose your own way to go. The food is 'real' food although you do have the added option to buy from their store.
If, like me, you struggle to lose weight and keep it off, this could also be the way to go for you.
Happy reading. Annemarie

I am only 4 days into it and have a gut feeling that this is it, after at least 20 years of trying unsuccessfully to lose weight. Like much modern medicine most diet plans treat just the symptoms. This diet treats the cause. I am nearly 60 and was at the cusp of resigning myself to being fat until I die.
I have tried more diet regimes than you have fingers to count them on, plus a few I made up myself. So I can confidently say that this time I have feelings of relief (finally) and confidence that my obesity sickness is being cured.
If the diet sounds harsh, it is but it is also surprisingly easy!
I am now enjoying every bite of my delicious food with no desire to keep on eating all day, no more fear of feeling hungry, and no more carrying snacks in my handbag "just in case"
Thank you Dr Mosley
Addendum:
I lost a stone in three weeks going from 14.5 stone to 13.5
Then I lost the plot a bit over a couple of birthday celebrations and put 3lb back on. However it's been easy to get back on track. And I've started losing weight again.


Michael Mosley has used the experience and knowledge gained over the last few years since The Fast Diet (5:2) plus I finished the book feeling quite motivated to get started.
In summary, if you've got a lot of weight to lose, try:
- 800 calories a day of a Mediterranean-style diet. Review your progress and goals after two weeks and either continue for up to twelve weeks or move to New 5:2.
- 5:2 until you reach your goals.
- Med-style eating in the main for maintenance (maybe with one fast day for health reasons and easier maintenance).
Other recommendations are included, such as time-restricted eating and exercise suggestions.
A lot of it will be familiar if you've read previous books, but it does provide updated research and is definitely worth a read if you want a boost and a little convincing to get started.
As another reviewer has said, there is some encouragement to go to their website. This was the same in previous books but unlike e.g. the blood sugar diet website you can't get to forums and some info unless you pay to go on their 12 week programme.

I'm following a time restricted diet of eating between 12PM-8PM which sounds severe, but really suits my waking/work pattern. Not a hunger pang or rumbly tummy in sight.
I stood on the scales in disbelief seeing my weight loss of 8lbs this morning (it's actually only day 5 of the first week).
Wow, just wow.

This latest book refines his advice based on the latest Scientific research. It is focused on the ideas of intermittent fasting (reducing your calorie consumption to 800 or less each day - which is surprisingly easy) and the Mediterranean diet (lots of Olive Oil, fruit and vegetables).
The book is full of plain English explanations of the latest research, and has practical instructions on how to use this diet yourself. There are also a lot of recipes for meals which fit into the diet.
Having used intermittent fasting over the past two years, I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to lose weight or increase their energy levels.
