The official US edition of the international best seller - containing US measurements and a month's worth of meals.

Is it possible to eat normally, five days a week, and become slimmer and healthier as a result?

Simple answer: yes. You just limit your calorie intake for two nonconsecutive days each week - 500 calories for women, 600 for men. You’ll lose weight quickly and effortlessly with the FastDiet.

Scientific trials of intermittent fasters have shown that it will not only help the pounds fly off, but also reduce your risk of a range of diseases from diabetes to cardiovascular disease and even cancer. "The scientific evidence is strong that intermittent fasting can improve health," says Dr. Mark Mattson, chief of the Laboratory of Neurosciences, National Institute on Aging, and professor of neuroscience, Johns Hopkins University.

This audiobook brings together the results of new, groundbreaking research to create a dietary program that can be incorporated into your busy daily life, featuring:

  • Forty 500- and 600-calorie meals that are quick and easy to make
  • The cutting-edge science behind the program
  • A calorie counter that makes dieting easy
  • And much more

Far from being just another fad, the FastDiet 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.

At the age of 60, it's challenging to lose weight. However, I am down 35 lbs following this plan. I lost 15 in the first month and almost a pound a week after that. More importantly, there have been some dramatic changes to my health which I started to notice two weeks in. I couldn't walk a quarter mile without a backache but now 3 miles is a breeze. My hands and feet are no longer swollen, my psoriasis has disappeared along with occasional neuropathy. Some of the hair in my beard has even ungrayed.

This plan isn't a walk in the park but its something I think I can sustain for years. Other diets I tried were just too hard to do forever.

Down 35 lbs so far.

I believe that the fast diet is more effective and efficient for most of people who is busy and don't have time to commit to restrict diet like counting calories all the time is something really difficult.

What did you love best about The FastDiet?

There are many small nuggets of information that just makes normal sense after its been explain is terms that one can reference. Dr Mosley provides a simple easy method for the normal person to start living a healthier life..

What was one of the most memorable moments of The FastDiet?

He brought a real meaning of fat storage and how it works and one aspect of why fasting is an essential tool to the road to a healthy life.

Any additional comments?

We are finally getting solid advice from MD in areas that traditionally are not and would not be discussed even 10 years ago. My Dr still today refuses to work with me even after my sugar levels have dropped into manageable levels (80 to 90). I ask him if he was getting kick backs from the big farm and he said no but his insurance does not let him go outside the main stream, Our heath care is broken.. While I did not loose my weight on just based on this books information it gave me the insight needed to go on and learn more. I have lost 35 pounds and my BMI is on the first 20% of the scale and still loosing.

Would you listen to The FastDiet again? Why?

Actually, yes. Which is strange because this is a nonfiction diet book. But it was very interesting and enjoyable. I could probably pick up a few facts and tips that I missed the first time around.

What about Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer ’s performance did you like?

I was amazed at how good the narrators were considering that they were the Actual authors of this non-fiction book. Especially Mimi Spencer. She could start a new career as a narrator if she Wished. And Michael Mosley read clearly and slowly enough to understand him.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Diet books don't usually make me laugh or cry, getting on the scale does though. (Cry)

Any additional comments?

I have read many books on intermittent fasting and this was one of the better ones because it did not go into too much detail with the science of it. It gave you just enough science to understand. Another helpful thing was it gave you a lot of tips on how to approach doing this Fasting protocol. It also had emails and twitters which were real testimonials of people who tried the fast diet and had had success with it. I enjoyed this, it was very pleasant to listen to, I just started the fast today and I highly recommend the audiobook. I wish you good luck on the fast and please wish me good luck. Holly
