Dr Michael Mosley, an award winning TV medic, best-selling author and journalist. Michael, who reversed his own diabetes through rapid weight loss, has teamed up with a group of doctors, personal trainers, mindfulness experts, health coaches and nutritionists to launch a new approach to weight loss. His recent book, The Fast 800, currently the number one best seller in the UK, is a ground-breaking guide to losing weight and keeping it off.
When I met him he shared such a wealth of knowledge and clearly knows so much about this topic, I believe his tried and tested tips are the way to go! Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day, guess who said that? Mr Kellogg to sell his breakfast cereal of course. I eat breakfast when I am ready and hungry and I do try to leave at least 14 hours, more if I can between eating my last meal at night and breaking the fast in the morning with food. Rapid weight loss IS good for you and the best way to lose the fat around your middle, his book has lots of great advice and recipes to follow. More tips on weight loss can be find here to supplement your healthy diet.
As Michael says “Whether you have a lot of weight to lose rapidly, or your health goals are to lose a little, get fitter and supercharge your health, The Fast 800 is flexible enough to suit most people. But when I wrote my previous books I had many people asking for additional advice, support and guidance, which is why we have created a digital lifestyle support programme to complement the book.”
The Fast 800 digital lifestyle programme
Launched in parallel with publication of the The Fast 800, this digital lifestyle programme offers a tailored approach to food and exercise, based on an individual’s personal online assessment.
It is a 12 week support plan based on a lower carb Mediterranean diet
GP Dr Clare Bailey who is one of the medial advisors to the programme said, “I have helped many patients lose weight and take control of their health, but it is time consuming and something most GPs are unlikely to be able to offer. So an online programme, with professional support, can nurture and encourage long term lifestyle change leading to lasting improvements in patients’ health.”
Fast, delicious food
The Fast 800 programme includes personalised menus which are delicious and easy-to-prepare. Healthy fats such as olive oil and nuts are encouraged and the occasional glass of wine or bite of dark chocolate is allowed, so that people eat well, remain sated and don’t feel deprived.
“It’s so much more than a meal plan.”
As well as a detailed programme of exercise and mindfulness (with a library of videos to follow), the programme has tools designed to support habit change and help people establish a sustainable and healthy lifestyle. Key to this is a community sharing the journey with coaches offering guidance and support.
