There are 3 phases to the plan. 1. 800 calories each day for a maximum of 12 weeks. 2. 5:2 diet - 2 days of 800 calories and then 5 days of moderately more calories (whilst still sticking to the basic philosophy) 3. Maintenance stage - a lower carb mediterranean style of eating I've been on...

I haven't done the keto version, but did the normal Fast 800 diet with great success. I did adapt the Fast 800 diet to be more keto friendly as time went on and lost over 6 stones in weight, reversing my diabetes and coming off all medication (metformin, blood pressure, etc). I still follow a...

I had a similar result 2 years ago. I went very low carb, did intermittent fasting and lost weight. For the last 2 eye screenings there's been no sign of any eye problems. Good luck!

So many success stories just prove that current established advice is woefully inaccurate. How long before things change? Well done to everyone who has made the change and are now experiencing improved health. I know that I'm one of the lucky ones too!

Maybe you could buy yourself a copy of Jason Fung's The Diabetes Code, or something similar? It would go a long way towards helping you to understand what's going on with your body and how to put it right. Once you understand the theory, the rest largely falls into place and you'll be healthier...

Only negative side effect I had was occasional constipation, but I solved that by drinking a lot more water and taking an odd Fybogel. I read and read information before starting out and it helped me enormously to understand what I was doing and why. I'm definitely not saying that everyone...

I'll quote this from Michael Mosley's Fast 800 website, as it gives you some of the studies used: " Diet Myth 1. It is better to lose weight slowly and steadily, rather than rapidly There is a widespread belief that if you lose weight fast then you will put it on even faster. But is it true...

Without meaning any offence, I don't really understand people who say, "I can't cook", or similar. Cooking is no different to any other skill or ability. If you don't do it, you'll never learn and get better. I eat an extremely varied diet, but don't spend hour after hour in the kitchen. I use...

I don't see 3lb per week loss as being too much, especially when you have a larger amount to lose. There's a lot of evidence to show that rapid weight loss is more effective on lots of levels than slower weight loss. My local NHS Trust is trialling a 800 calories a day, low carb diet, for...

I've recently bought a 7.5L OP500UK. I already own a 6litre Instant Pot and use it daily, but the air fryer aspect has really become a revelation to me. This morning I cooked bacon, sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes in the Ninja, for my breakfast. Then this evening I cooked celeriac chips and...

I have a few raspberries, or blueberries on my breakfast each day. Those are the only fruits I eat now.

Looks really delicious. I could just go for a slice or two of that!

Thanks everyone. I'm a complete convert to this way of living and I won't be changing anytime soon. I'm going to look at those links for the cholesterol and statins debate. I've recently read Aseem Malhotra's book on The Pioppi Diet and I was astonished at some of the things he had to say...

OK, here's my success story and although there is a large slice of personal happiness in the tale, I really hope that it encourages others to take control of their own conditions. I was diagnosed Type 2 6 years ago when I was 48, with a Hba1c of 49, which at the time was the cut-off for...

Without going into the gory details, how does this way of living impact on levels of constipation? Since going LCHF, I find that unless I eat plenty of green vegetables, I can become very 'bunged up'.

I believe we're all on a journey and if we can find a way that works, then that's great. If you're controlling things then that's great! I've read many, many books on the subject and think that I've seen a way forward. After 30 years of yo-yo dieting and increasingly poor health, I really...

Yes, followed the 800 calories stage for 12 weeks, then did 5:2 for the rest of the time. Like I said, it's controversial for some people, but it worked for me and I believe my new way of eating is sustainable for life.

I know he's a controversial character on here, but I've following the Fast 800 diet of Dr Michael Mosley. In just under 6 months I've gone from very obese to healthy weight and it's been a revelation. I kept carbs under 20g per day, but otherwise followed the Fast 800 recipes. I was on 2mg of...

I have both of their previous diabetes cook books and find the recipes really good. In fact I'm serving the carnitas recipe on Boxing Day to non-low carb guests. Thanks for the Kindle Unlimited tip. I've just been offered 3 months for 99p, so well timed!
