Publisher's Summary

Australian and New Zealand edition

The number one best seller in Australia and the UK 

Based on the latest groundbreaking science

The ultimate guide from the creator of the 5:2 - how to combine rapid weight loss and intermittent fasting for long-term good health.

An exciting new program built around a more manageable 800-calorie fast day.   

Six years ago, Dr. Michael Mosley started a health revolution with the 5.2 Fast Diet, telling the world about the incredible power of intermittent fasting.   

In this audiobook he brings together all the latest science (including a new approach: Time Restricted Eating) to create an easy-to-follow program.   

Recent studies have shown that 800 calories is the magic number when it comes to successful dieting - it's an amount high enough to be manageable but low enough to speed weight loss and trigger a range of desirable metabolic changes.   

Depending on your goals, you can choose how intensively you want to do the program: how many 800-calorie days to include each week, and how to adjust these as you progress.   

Along with delicious, low-carb recipes and menu plans by Dr. Clare Bailey, The Fast 800 offers a flexible way to help you lose weight, improve mood, and reduce blood pressure, inflammation, and blood sugars. Includes recipes, meal plans, and photographic section.    

Take your future health into your own hands.  

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Audio complements books

The book is great and I bought it. However my eyes are not the best and after reading for several chapters. I can't help myself I fall to sleep, due to tired & dry eyes when reading a book. So the audio helped me with the studying of this book with more intensity. I listened several times to this Audiobook, highlighted topics of interests for me in my copy of the book, took notes and downloaded the pdf recipes to add to my "the fast 800 health journal",

This Audiobook is exciting to me as I have bought all the other books created by Dr Michael Mosley [Five in total]. I would suggest "the fast 800 keto" book be added to the book or a online access to the Audiobook for free if you have bought the book. However I do appreciate the large text in this book ..

Dr Michael Mosley books are awesome with explaining my eating problems and providing me with solutions that are long-term. I have heard this information from my Heart Specialist, but have been unable to connect the process with action. This audiobook assisted with this "closing of the gap", especially as I am an Australian Aboriginal and I comprehend the oral presentation with more ease .

Great man & great book unfortunately badly narrated.

Dr Mosley I salute you. You are a brilliant man and your book is very inspiring. Please realise though that you are not a great narrator. Your delivery is hurried and, please forgive me my honesty, you have a mild speech impediment.
Why not concentrate on the things you are so good at such as research and writing and leave the delivery to someone good at that job. I would suggest Derek Perkins, the brilliant narrator of Yuval Noah Harari audiobooks.
Thank you for your hard work!

But not the recipes

Great having Michael as the reader. The recipes are the key part of this book and seem only available in the hard copy

Enjoyable easy listen - makes you want to get the book

This is a gateway book. Enjoyable, easy to consume, gets you into the topic. It is not supposed to be laden with huge amounts of scientific fact. Other books will do that. The recipes in the book or on site will undoubtedly be of benefit. I left the book with that specific unmet need.

Enjoyable listen/read.

Excellent

Mosley has updated his previous few books and summarised then with the latest science in this one. he has an entertaining style, and the strategies he suggests are really solid. Worth buying if you are looking for a solid and realistic weight loss approach that is also as quick as it gets. I'll also add that the book is fairly brief, but that's because he gets to the point and doesn't mince words - so a big plus in my books.

Great book - get it if you are overweight

Had been on 5:2 for years.
Slipped off the wagon.
Now using fast 800 and about to transition to new 5:2.
Feel so much better. It’s almost unbelievable.
Amazing what real science can do...
