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.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

In Gut, Giulia Enders shows that rather than the utilitarian and - let's be honest - somewhat embarrassing body part we imagine it to be, it is one of the most complex, important, and even miraculous parts of our anatomy.

Leading health blogger Jimmy Moore and researcher and internist Dr. Eric C. Westman join forces again to explain the powerful therapeutic effects of a ketogenic diet—one that combines a customized carbohydrate restriction, moderation of protein intake, and real food-based fats—which is emerging in the scientific literature as a means for improving a wide range of diseases, from Type 2 diabetes to Alzheimer's and more. Simply eating a low-carb diet alone isn't enough, and Moore and Westman tell you why. Have you looked at a low-carb diet simply as a means to lose weight? What if you learned that combining a low-carb nutritional approach with a high fat intake produces a powerful therapeutic effect on a wide variety of health conditions that most people think requires medication to control? That’s what Keto Clarity is all about. Jimmy Moore, a leading low-carb diet blogger and podcaster, has reunited with his Cholesterol Clarity co-author Dr. Eric C. Westman, a practicing internist and low-carb diet researcher, to bring you the crystal-clear information you need to understand what a ketogenic diet is and why it may be the missing element in your pursuit of optimal health. This book includes exclusive interviews from twenty of the world's foremost authorities from various fields bringing their depth of expertise and experience using this nutritional approach. Moore and Westman explain why ketosis is normal and how this nutritional approach is being used therapeutically by many medical professionals. You will find a step-by-step guide to help you produce more ketones and track your progress, real life success stories, and more. The solid evidence for nutritional ketosis in dealing with many of the chronic health problems of our day is presented, including but not limited to: epilepsy, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome.

But we don't need to chase the day. In Morning, Allan Jenkins shows how getting up earlier even once a week or month can free us to be more imaginative, to maybe read, to walk, to write.

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.

After seeing Michael Mosley on TV I wanted to look further into this diet. I've only been doing the 5:2 for a couple of weeks so far and the results are showing. This book really inspired me and gave me the confidence to start the fasting diet. It also helped that the scientific and technical stuff is explained in a way that is easy to understand.

Only comprehensive book I could find on intermittent fasting
Wanted something with medically sound advice- besides a load of pseudo science - which is all I could find in other literature.
Well written and entertaining-ly so by a medical doctor, who tells of his own experience. Backed up by honest medical experiments- he says so if there is not enough research done in certain areas before commenting on his opinion.
Could have done without being told endlessly about low GL and GI foods but I suppose some people are into that.
I'm only one week in & have tried many other forms of lifestyle changes to reduce weight. I only have that pesky half a stone to loose. But I am certainly confident this is the way forward for me here on in. Have done 2 fasting days & can see results already. Hopefully in another 6weeks that half a stone will be a distant memory 😄
Only thing I would like to see is more long term human experiments with proven results. Lots of experimenting on mice. Perhaps one day there will be more money put into this sort of thing. I suppose nobody wants to fund something if it's not profitable - who profits on somebody eating nothing?!
Anyways, 4stars. It's just a bit short maybe. Not that I would want it to be filled with more waffle. But more research perhaps. Thumbs up overall & I like Michael's lilting narrative voice :)

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.

Possibly better in print
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.

clear and concise
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

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!

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!

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.
