The Fast 800: How to combine rapid weight loss and intermittent fasting for long-term health (The Fast 800 Series)

Product Information

After completing your initial assessment, you will be allocated one of our exercise levels, beginner, intermediate or advanced, and guided through weekly exercise plans consisting of HIIT, resistance workouts and stretching sessions. However, when trying to lose weight, the NHS recommends that the average person should aim to reduce their daily calorie intake by about 600kcal.

However, it's not suited to everybody and if this approach is not for you, you can skip ahead to the second stage, the new 5:2. When you’re nearing your weight-loss target, eat 800 calories on two days of the week and on the others, follow a Mediterranean diet, exercising portion control. Registered nutritionist Jenna Hope offers a word of caution around calorie counting, saying, "Minor calorie restriction can be an effective way to lose weight in the short term however, it can contribute to a poor relationship with food and isn’t sustainable in the long-term. Long-term calorie restriction can alter metabolic function, which can negatively impact weight management." Our Programme teaches you the health benefits of a moderately low-carb Mediterranean-style diet, so it becomes a way of eating for life. It is based on the latest science and takes an evidence-based approach to healthy living focusing on nutrition, movement, behavioural change and sustainable lifestyle. Working with Dr Michael Mosley, we use the latest scientific research to create a game-changing approach to weight loss and healthy living.

The goal of The Fast 800 and our online programme is to empower you with the tools and knowledge to live a healthy lifestyle long-term. As a result, there are three flexible dietary approaches that can be followed:

This is a superb recipe 800 calories book. The recipes are easy to do and achieve. Lovely illustrations. This also informs you of details about what each recipe contains, regarding the fat protein carbs calories etc. The book is so good that I have bought three copies so far to give to my family and friends. Recommended. The intermittent fasting diet is a flexible eating approach where individuals alternate between periods of eating and fasting. Science has shown that intermittent fasting is effective for weight loss, as well as a number of other health benefits. Embracing intermittent fasting UK

We recommend that you follow The Fast 800 Keto plans for no more than 12 weeks. When you have completed this or attained a healthy BMI, move to The New 5:2 or Way of Life. We’re encouraging our current members to think of The Fast 800 Keto and The Very Fast 800 as interchangeable; you cannot complete 12 weeks on one, then 12 weeks on the other. It’s either/or, whichever works best for you. Weight loss that is induced purely by calorie restrictions has been shown to lead to a reduction in lean muscle mass (2). This, coupled with the fact that at around age 30 we start losing as much as 3 to 5 percent of lean muscle mass per year thanks to aging (3), highlights the importance of resistance training. This type of training will help maintain and increase your muscle mass and ensure that you are losing fat and not muscle.
