This radical new approach to weight loss is the diet that everyone is talking about. It really is as simple as it sounds: you eat normally five days a week, then for just two days you cut your calories (500 for women, 600 for men). Scientific trials of Intermittent Fasting have shown that it will not only help the pounds fly off but also lower your risk of a range of diseases, including diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Dr Michael Mosley, the medical journalist whose BBC Horizon programme alerted the world to the Intermittent Fasting phenomenon, presents the fascinating science behind the 5:2 diet. Mimi Spencer, award-winning food and fashion writer, explains the practicalities of how to go about it. The Fast Diet also includes a calorie counter and a whole section of ‘Fast 500’ and ‘Fast 600’ menu plans which will enable you to incorporate this groundbreaking weight-loss system into your daily life.
Dr Michael Mosley is not only a doctor but also a British journalist, producer and broadcaster. His program "Horizon" broadcasts the show "Eat, Fast and Live Longer" which reaped a sensational success worldwide, after a BBC 2 show in August 2012.
