About The Book

Australian and New Zealand edition

The highly anticipated companion to the No.1 bestseller The Fast 800
150 delicious new recipes to help you combine rapid weight loss and intermittent fasting for long term good health
Foreword by Dr Michael Mosley


This companion cookbook to the international bestseller The Fast 800 by Dr Michael Mosley is filled with delicious, easy, low carb recipes and essential weekly meal planners, all carefully formulated by Dr Clare Bailey and Justine Pattison to help you lose weight, improve mood and reduce blood pressure, inflammation and blood sugars.

Studies show that 800 calories is the magic number when it comes to successful dieting. It’s high enough to be manageable, but low enough to speed weight loss and trigger a range of positive metabolic changes. In The Fast 800, Dr Michael Mosley brought together all the latest science, including Time Restricted Eating, to create an easy-to-follow programme, and this collection of all-new recipes, all photographed in full colour, will help you achieve all your goals. Every recipe is also calorie coded and noted with nutrition metrics to help you on your path to long term health.

'This diet changed my life' Denise Bach, aged 51
