Shed those Christmas pounds with Dr Michael Mosley’s fast diet and our EXCLUSIVE diet planner 

The Fast 800 Keto diet by Dr Michael Mosley and Dr Clare Bailey incorporates the health-giving principles of combining a low-carb, Keto Mediterranean diet with intermittent fasting.

The brilliant science behind the diet is that it puts your body into a state of ‘ketosis’ – causing it to convert compounds from your fat stores to be used up as fuel.

You can read the second set of exclusive recipes in You Magazine with your The Mail on Sunday tomorrow – and Mail+ subscribers can read them on the website now.

To achieve this state of ketosis, you’ll have to focus on cutting out sugars and carbs. That means saying farewell to potatoes and rice and piling your plate high with luscious greens and leafy veg instead.

One of the best things about this brilliant new diet is you don’t have to sacrifice flavour. A Mediterranean-style cuisine is perfectly suited to Keto – and it tastes delicious as well.

Combined with the well-documented benefits of fasting, our new diet is a fast, effective and healthy way to lose weight.

This new programme not only puts you into ketosis faster than a normal keto diet, but is also, I believe, healthier and more sustainable. On the rapid weight-loss phase of the plan (stage one) you can expect to lose as much as 2kg a week (that’s a stone in under four weeks!), and you can stay on the plan for 2-12 weeks, depending on how much you want to lose. But you also have the option of moving to stage two which means picking anything from two to five consecutive days a week to ‘fast’ like you do in stage one, but easing into a lowish-carb Mediterranean-style diet on the other days (without having to count calories). We have found this works really well if you ‘fast’ Monday to Friday, then enjoy a more relaxed approach over the weekend, snapping back into ketosis each Monday morning.

Our brilliant diet planner on The Mail+ will ensure you’re following the programme that’s best suited to your body and its goals.
