About this listen

Australian and New Zealand edition

THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER 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 PROGRAMME 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 book he brings together all the latest science (including a new approach: Time Restricted Eating) to create an easy-to-follow programme.

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 programme: 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.

Critic Reviews

Praise for Dr Michael Mosley

‘Draws on the latest scientific studies and weaves in moving stories ... conveys real understanding of the greatest health problem of our time.’ Professor Roy Taylor, University of Newcastle, UK

'Written by the world’s top “gut health guru”, Mosley’s new book is a balanced and evidence-based account of how it all works. Now the lay person can implement a diet plan and understand why it’s going to work.' Nobel Prize winner, Professor Barry Marshall, Marshall Centre for Infectious Diseases Research and Training

'The life-changing new plan that’ll make you healthier, happier and slimmer.' Daily Mail

'This book contains a very clear summary of the latest research and hopefully will go far to teach the public about our science (for which I am very grateful!).' Dr Nicholas Chia, Microbiome Program, Mayo Institute

'A fascinating journey exploring the gut and its tiny inhabitants. As Michael Mosley points out, we are only just beginning to get to grips with this mysterious world. Do try his pumpkin porridge or purple sauerkraut and examine your gut feelings.' Dr Roy Taylor, Professor of Medicine and Metabolism, Newcastle University (UK)

'Clever Guts is very well researched and well written. I'm a dermatologist with a particular interest in eczema and acne, and this emerging area of research is making us all reconsider how important gut health is and what we can do to optimise it.' Dr Clare Tait, Consultant Dermatologist at the Royal Perth Hospital and Fellow, Royal College of Physicians

'Dr Mosley, one of the world's leading writers covering nutrition and health, does it again with a very informative and entertaining book. Follow his advice for better gut health.' Dr Valter Longo, Director of the University of Southern California Longevity Institute

'A must read for all parents who want to understand the importance of good gut health in their children. This humorous, easy to read book has the potential to change a lot of lives.' Professor Desiree Silva, Consultant Paediatrician, University of Western Australia

It’s great to listen to this as it’s more motivational in a way. Also distinguishes him even more strongly from the charlatans who make you listen to long buildups to tell you something you knew anyway or are selling. Michael’s method is actual science and inspiring. Someone should tell Michael to change the long URLs he reads out to bit.ly or tiny.urls though :-)

Nice to listen

Exceptional!
