Building on the global success of the 5:2 diet, Mosley distils the latest research on time-restricted eating and low-calorie Mediterranean-style nutrition into one clear, flexible plan. Designed for real life, it suits complete beginners and experienced dieters alike, offering a structured route to losing weight, boosting energy, and improving long-term metabolic health without extreme restriction or complicated rules. About the Book The Fast 800: How to Combine Rapid Weight Loss and Intermittent Fasting for Long-Term Health sets out Dr Mosley's three-phase approach to sustainable weight management.

Alongside the science, the book features delicious low-carb, Mediterranean-style recipes and menu plans created by Dr Clare Bailey, making the plan practical and enjoyable to follow day to day.

Whether readers want a short, intensive reset or a more gradual, long-term change to their eating habits, the book provides a structured but adaptable framework. It has become one of the most talked-about diet books of recent years, praised for grounding a popular weight-loss tre
