About this listen

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

How do I get the pdf?

Would you consider the audio edition of The Fast Diet to be better than the print version?

I like audio as I can listen when I don't have time to read.

Who was your favorite character and why?

What does Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

No comment other than nice to hear the authors speak for themselves.

Life changing

I started the The Fast Diet when I saw the amazing weight loss achieved by one of my best friends.
What amazed me was he had more energy than previously and he said he rarely felt hungry, so I tried it.
This is only my second week but I've already lost 13.2 lb which I find astonishing!
I've had a few headaches but rehydrating more than I would normally would has solved that issue.
I've been diagnosed with pre-diabetes so hopefully over the coming weeks I can correct that issue and I've booked a blood test to see how that's progressing.
Now I enjoy the fast days because it seems to rejuvenate me.
I'm looking forward to the journey ahead and this book could change my lifestyle forever.
Thank you Dr Mosley.

Amazing! Must do this lifestyle it's a no brainer.

I really like Dr Moseley and Mimi Spencer. This lifestyle is a no brainer for a healthy and long life. This is researched and not a way to simply make another diet to make money. This lifestyle comes with passion and love and it works.

Really encouraging

They’ve made fasting sound very easy and appealing. The PDF is useful as it comes with sample meal plans. I also liked listening to the feedback from other users.

The audiobook is well read and easy to listen to. Highly recommended

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.
