Losing weight can seem like a daunting endeavour for many, but diet plans can make the process feel more manageable. Dr Michael Mosley is recognised as one of the best when it comes to losing weight quickly, through fasting techniques and meal plans which include plenty of lean proteins and vegetables and little in the way of carbs.
Dr Mosley has been on our TV screens with advice on leading a healthier life since 1985 and first introduced his 5:2 fasting diet in the 2012 documentary, Eat, Fast and Live Longer. The popular diet plan involves eating a healthy balanced diet five out of seven days of the week and then fasting for the other two - taking in between 500 and 600 calories per day.
Now, in an updated version, known as Fast 800, Dr Mosley has come up with a plan that sees users eat 800 calories a day. Wales Online health editor Lydia Stephens decided to put the plan to the test, sticking to it for one week to see the results.
