Dr Michael Mosley, a well-known doctor and TV personality, has recently been in the news for his controversial diet that has gained a lot of attention. However, on June 9th, it was announced that a body had been found in the search for Dr Mosley after he went missing in Greece while on vacation. His wife, Dr Clare Bailey, raised the alarm when he didn't return from a walk and a search had been underway for the past few days in Symi.
Dr Mosley is best known for his work on the Fast 800 diet, which has become quite popular. However, diets have always been a topic of controversy and discussion in society, with some people swearing by them while others fear the risks of following fads and experiments. In regards to his diet, Dr Mosley has stated, "Whether you have a lot of weight to lose rapidly, or your health goals are to lose a little, get fitter and supercharge your health, The Fast 800 is flexible enough to suit most people."
But what exactly is the Fast 800 diet and how does it work? Developed by Dr Mosley, this diet claims to not only aid in weight loss but also reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. The first stage of the diet is a very low-calorie phase, which can potentially reverse type 2 diabetes. This diet is a key component of Dr Mosley's new show, "Lose a Stone in 21 Days with Michael Mosley."
The Fast 800 diet is a combination of principles from Dr Mosley's previous books, such as the 5:2 diet and the Blood Sugar Diet, along with newer insights. The diet is structured in stages, with the first stage lasting for a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of 12. During this stage, individuals follow a daily eating plan that limits their calorie intake to 800 calories. This can be achieved by using a VLCD meal replacement product or by eating lean protein sources and vegetables.
Dr Mosley and his wife believe that the Fast 800 diet is both safe and attainable, with a focus on Mediterranean foods. The first stage is designed to shift the body from burning sugar to burning fat by inducing a mild state of ketosis. The second stage involves intermittent fasting, where calories are restricted to 800 a day for two days of the week, followed by a healthy, low-carb Mediterranean diet for the remaining five days. Once a person reaches their goal weight, they enter the maintenance phase, where they continue with the Mediterranean style of eating and have a weekly fast day if they choose to do so.
While the diet aims to help those with potential health risks caused by excess stored fat, such as diabetes, there have been concerns about its sustainability and potential health risks. In fact, after a documentary about the diet was aired on Channel 4, a leading UK eating disorder charity offered support for those who may struggle with the content. The NHS also advises that individuals consume more than 800 calories, with a recommended limit of 1,900kcal for men and 1,400kcal for women.
