Synopses

The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet

Dr Mosley explains why dangerous abdominal fat can build up and outlines how to lose it quickly. The book challenges common beliefs, including the idea that steady weight loss is always preferable to rapid loss, and that rapid weight loss will inevitably be regained.

Fast Asleep

This book explores what happens during sleep, what can trigger common sleep problems and why standard advice may not work. Drawing on sleep experiments and tested remedies, it presents a radical four-week programme, described as being based on the latest science, to help re-establish a healthy sleep pattern.

The Fast Diet

The Fast Diet sets out an approach where you eat normally for five days a week, then reduce calorie intake for two days. The stated calorie targets are 600 for men and 500 for women.

The Clever Guts Diet

Dr Mosley takes a journey through the gut, describing how junk food and the overuse of antibiotics can reduce beneficial gut bacteria. It links these changes to a modern rise in allergies, food intolerances and obesity.

Fast Exercise

Dr Michael Mosley and Peta Bee examine the science behind a time-efficient approach to exercise. The book discusses research by leading sports scientists into the impact of ultra-short bursts of high-intensity intermittent training for both athletes and sedentary people.
