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 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.

Story4 out of 5 stars 1
Dr. Michael Mosley, author of the best-selling 5:2 Fast Diet, reveals a game-changing approach to one of the greatest silent epidemics of our time - raised blood sugar levels. Our modern diet, high in sugar and easily digestible carbohydrates, is not only making us fat, but is putting us at risk of type 2 diabetes, strokes, dementia, cancer, and a lifetime on medication. Close to a quarter of adults in Australia and New Zealand now have raised blood sugar levels or are at risk of developing diabetes - and most don’t know it.

Contrary to popular opinion, if you have been diagnosed with type two diabetes or pre-diabetes, you need not resign yourself to a life of deteriorating health and complex regimens of testing and medications. Science and modern research show that a proper diet and exercise routine can absolutely reduce your blood sugar levels and keep them in the healthy range daily, freeing you from insulin dependence and the other drugs that facilitate the normalizing of your blood glucose day in and day out.

In this highly enjoyable and provocative book, Dr Jason Fung sets out a groundbreaking new theory: that obesity is caused by our hormones, rather than a lack of self-control.

For decades, the medical community has looked to a variety of reasons for why we age, and the consensus is that no-one dies of old age; they die of age-related diseases. That's because ageing is not a disease - it is inevitable. But what if everything you think you know about ageing is wrong? What if ageing is a disease? And that disease is curable. In Lifespan, Dr David Sinclair, one of the world’s foremost authorities on genetics and ageing, argues just that.

Editorial Reviews
Publisher's Summary
Not just weight loss - better health too! The authors of the book that is still the number one UK nonfiction best seller six months after publication now present their work for Audible listeners and make it even easier to adopt their brilliant system.
Far from being just another fad, the Fast Diet is a radical new way of thinking about food, a lifestyle choice that could transform your health. This is your indispensable guide to simple and effective weight loss, without fuss or the need to endlessly deprive yourself. Eat normally for five days each week, and cut your calories on the other two. Scientific trails of Intermittent Fasting have shown that it will not only help the pounds fly off but also lower your risk of a range of diseases including diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Dr Michael Mosley, the medical journalist who presented the BBC Horizon programme which alerted the world to the IF phenomenon, presents the science behind the 5:2 diet, and Mimi Spencer, award-winning writer, explains the practicalities. It really is straightforward to incorporate this groundbreaking weight-loss system.

Excellent Book
Would you consider the audio edition of The Fast Diet to be better than the print version?
As I have not read the print version of this book I am unable to say wether the audio version is better. For me, as I am so busy, I listen to audiobooks while commuting or in the car.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked that the authors were also the narrators.
Which character – as performed by Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer – was your favourite?
Michael Mosley but they were both relevant
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Definitely the part that discussed about scientific research.
Any additional comments?
Great book, good science to back it up. A must read if you want to lose weight with a minimum if fuss.

Awesome intro to a life changing proposition
Have listened to a couple of books on fasting this week. I was a bit mystified by the focus on low fat in this one given the surge in published findings on the benefits of high fat easing of the last decade. Still, this book has been planned superbly. Its content is both accessible and inspirational. It is practical and practicable. And the formats of the different sections stimulated interest throughout. Superb job - very well done - and thankyou!

Interesting.
Any additional comments?
I can see how this book will help many people. Perhaps not super active types due to calorific need and hormones making fasting tricky - but office types absolutely this will really help control weight & health. If you are in a chair all day, a bit older, carrying some health issues and thus cannot exercise much - here is your diet.

Awesome Book.
What made the experience of listening to The Fast Diet the most enjoyable?
I dont have to read the book. And knowing that not eating for a while is actually healthy, and not what i have been used to hearing from Doctors ect..
What does Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Mimi Spencers voice and reading was great. I love her voice.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me feel great. Because now i have the knowledge to lose that extra weight ,once and for all.

This book is excellent and extremely interesting, however because of the nature of the book - with one often needing to skim back to a page - or look up something - I prefer the hard copy that I have on my kindle. Having said that, it is excellent overall because of its attention to the scientific information backing up the theory.

What did you like most about The Fast Diet?
It was very easy to process the whole idea of the 5:2 diet in listening form, and it reiterated what was set out in the book and on the t.v. version very succinctly.
Who was your favorite character and why?
No characters in this book, just Micheal's common sense tone, backed up by Mimi.
What does Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Having read the book i knew the idea behind the premise , but the chapters on the medical side i;e diabetes got my husband who has just been diagnosed with type 2 listening. It somehow was easier to take it all on board.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, it is not a long book an although i had to break in the middle went back to it as soon as I could, rewinding it to get the relevant parts repeated
Any additional comments?
Said it all, but thank you Dr. mosley

Very informative
I had bought the paperback of this book but found it hard to concentrate on the scientific and technical bits.
I found I understood so much more by listening to the authors reading their own work.
I'm not sure the diet worked, but that's a different story!

Easy listening and enjoyable
Would you consider the audio edition of The Fast Diet to be better than the print version?
I listened to this book whilst sunbathing! It was a perfect way to reinforce what I already knew!
Would you recommend The Fast Diet to your friends? Why or why not?
I would recommend The Fast Diet to anybody serious about wanting to change their eating habits!
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Nothing! I thoroughly enjoyed both narrators!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I stopped and started over the period of a few beach days!
Any additional comments?
My daughter enjoyed parts of this as it gave her more knowledge about the nature of diets and generally changing her eating patterns!

At last! A real solution to health/weight control.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
After years of dieting without success, I stopped believing in diets completely and viewed them as a waste of time.
This book has changed all that and comes with a high recommendation not just from me, but from friends and family who have also tried it. It has a sensible and practical approach and has revolutionized the way I think about what and when I eat. So far, after only three weeks, I have lost 6lbs, an inch off my waist and an inch and a half off my rear.
More importantly, I am changing my eating habits in an almost unconscious way and naturally opting for better food choices. I feel more vibrant, alive and in tune with my body.
I no longer fear being hungry and though I had initial misgivings about the fast days, I find them much easier now and almost look forward to them.
What other book might you compare The Fast Diet to, and why?
Perhaps I would compare it to "Be a free Range Human". Although these titles are about very different subjects, there are similarities.
For example, the direct and no nonsense approach that both these books have and the fact that they give simple practical solutions which are easy to understand and implement in our busy lives.
There is no "flannel", no, " going round the houses". These books just both get right in there and advise you what to do.
What does Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I liked Michael Moseley's scientific input. As a health professional, it helped me process the facts and make sense of them. I found his narration a little "news-readerish" which was a bit off-putting, but it did not detract too much from the content.
Mimi gave a very refreshing and almost impish flavour to the book. I enjoyed listening to her. More importantly, she gave lots of practical tips and advise which for me, rounded off and complemented the science.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Well I don't know how I could make this into a film, really, but I wish I had seen the documentary which was made last year.
Any additional comments?
Buy this book if you are serious about getting healthy and losing weight. By far the most sensible, practical and successful approach I have ever known.

Life changing
The book sets out the science behind fasting and the positive impact it can have on your life. It contains practical advice on making it work for you.
The health benefits are eye opening, fasting appears to be a solution to some of the biggest killers in the western world.
If losing weight is your thing then this approach contains no drugs, no ready meals, no diet clubs and no charge and it's sustainable.
Give it a whirl.
