A fat loss expert has released a new weight loss diet that helped him shed a stone in under a month. TV presenter Doctor Michael Mosley, who is a regular on the ITV talk show This Morning, says he lost a stone over just three weeks using the Fast 800 Keto diet after indulging in treats and booze over the Christmas period.
Mosley's original Fast 800 program tells those looking to lose weight to consume a Mediterranean style diet filled with fruits and vegetables, while eating 800 calories a day for 12 weeks, as reported by the Daily Record. However, the new Fast 800 keto diet, includes the principles of a short term low-carb, ketogenic, and a Mediterranean diet paired with intermittent fasting.
The new plan works on a 50:50 rule, with no more than 50g of carbs, while keeping protein intake above 50g - with a daily intake of 800 to 1,000 calories supposedly helping to burn fat stores while maintaining muscle. Mr Mosley, the man behind the 5:2 diet, developed the diet with his wife Dr Claire Bailey in a new book edition released in December.
