The Fast Diet by Dr Michael Mosley & Mimi Spencer
Is this just another diet book? Actually no its not, this is finally the book that can at long last find us as a nation getting healthier, and lighter. The title really says it all - "Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, Live Longer" and it does exactly what it says on the tin and there are many testimonials to back it up.
Why does this diet book make sense? When the author Dr Michael Mosley whom is a medical journalist with the BBC first alerted us to this book, he did so only after presenting us with some amazing and scientific facts. As a 55yr old guy who was getting to the age when being overweight was causing other problems and could lead to an onset of diabetes he decided to see if all the scientific facts of dieting added up. Discovering that he did you can read how and why fasting in the way he describes really does work. The best bit about this is that for the rest of the week you can eat and drink normally and you will still lose weight. Is it too good to be true?..... Well according to one of the many testimonials I think not...
A busy mum with 3 children writes " This diet fits beautifully round my social life, as the fast days are so flexible. Its not that hard to resist temptation for one day because I know the next day I can have donut or a curry and a few glasses of wine if I want and without feeling guilty. The proof is, literally, in the pudding, I have been eating like this but sticking to my 500 cals on a fast days I am still losing the weight"
