Michael Mosley's 5:2 diet is a popular weight loss method used by people across the world.
The nutrition expert, who is also behind the Fast 800, based the diet on intermittent fasting. This allows you to reduce the amount you eat for short period of time, making the method more sustainable in the long run.
The diet guru explains that using the 5:2 diet can help you lose weight steadily, introducing the method to the world for the first time during a BBC documentary "Eat, Fast and Live Longer" back in 2012. Testing the diet during the documentary, Dr Mosley found that it reduced his chances of heart disease and cancer by reducing the fat content of his body.
