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.

Critic reviews
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
After years of dieting without success, I stopped believing in diets completely and viewed them as a waste of time.This book has changed all that and comes with a high recommendation not just from me, but from friends and family who have also tried it. It has a sensible and practical approach and has revolutionized the way I think about what and when I eat. So far, after only three weeks, I have lost 6lbs, an inch off my waist and an inch and a half off my rear.
More importantly, I am changing my eating habits in an almost unconscious way and naturally opting for better food choices. I feel more vibrant, alive and in tune with my body.
I no longer fear being hungry and though I had initial misgivings about the fast days, I find them much easier now and almost look forward to them.
What other book might you compare The Fast Diet to, and why?
Perhaps I would compare it to "Be a free Range Human". Although these titles are about very different subjects, there are similarities.For example, the direct and no nonsense approach that both these books have and the fact that they give simple practical solutions which are easy to understand and implement in our busy lives.
There is no "flannel", no, " going round the houses". These books just both get right in there and advise you what to do.
What does Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I liked Michael Moseley's scientific input. As a health professional, it helped me process the facts and make sense of them. I found his narration a little "news-readerish" which was a bit off-putting, but it did not detract too much from the content.Mimi gave a very refreshing and almost impish flavour to the book. I enjoyed listening to her. More importantly, she gave lots of practical tips and advise which for me, rounded off and complemented the science.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Well I don't know how I could make this into a film, really, but I wish I had seen the documentary which was made last year.Any additional comments?
Buy this book if you are serious about getting healthy and losing weight. By far the most sensible, practical and successful approach I have ever known.At last! A real solution to health/weight control.

Really interesting and thought provoking information with at last a sensible way of diet and lifestyle that is doable. Certainly need to give this a try. Thanks very much for excellent information and advice. Who knows, if I can adopt this lifestyle, it may just rescue me from a descent into the worrying aspects of mid life to older age chronic diseases and cognitive decline.
Great book with a plan and road map.
