The Fast 800

The Fast 800 by Dr Michael Mosley offers an innovative approach to weight loss and overall health, combining the latest groundbreaking science with practical advice. Building on the success of his earlier work, The 5:2 Fast Diet, Dr Mosley introduces a revolutionary programme tailored around an 800-calorie fast day. This plan is designed to be flexible and adaptable to suit individual goals, making it manageable for long-term health improvements.

In The Fast 800, Dr Mosley explains how recent studies have pinpointed 800 calories as the optimal amount for effective dieting. This calorie count is substantial enough to maintain energy levels while still promoting rapid weight loss and triggering beneficial metabolic changes. Whether you aim to lose weight quickly or maintain good health, this programme provides a customisable plan to fit your lifestyle.

One key aspect of Dr Mosley's method is Time Restricted Eating, a new approach that aligns eating schedules with natural body rhythms to enhance weight loss and health benefits. Readers are guided on how to incorporate 800-calorie days into their weekly routine and adjust these as needed. The programme demonstrates versatility, allowing users to determine how intensively they wish to follow it, depending on their personal health goals.

The Fast 800 also features an array of delicious, low-carb recipes and menu plans curated by Dr Clare Bailey. These meal suggestions not only make it easier to stick to the calorie limit but also ensure nutritional balance and variety. The culinary section helps users enjoy their diet while reaping the benefits of improved mood, reduced blood pressure, lower inflammation, and balanced blood sugar levels.

This book empowers readers to take control of their future health. Real-life testimonials, such as Denise, 51, who says, "I lost 16kg in the first 8 weeks and then another 6kg. I’ve never been healthier," illustrate the tremendous potential of Dr Mosley's programme to transform lives.
