Michael Mosley Diet

Michael Mosley's new diet is called The Fast Plan, although it was formally known as the 5:2 diet.

It consists of eating 500-600 calories a day for 2 days of the week and eating normally the other 5 (hence the 5:2 diet name). This results in around 1lb of fat loss per week.

This is a form of intermittent fasting which is gaining popularity due to the health benefits which come with it. It turns out that taking a break from eating kick starts some healthy processes in the human body. It's only very recently in evolutionary terms that we have been eating constantly, hence why the human body deals better with no food now and again.
