"FAST 800" Plan

CockneyLady2014

I am in the UK and using the Fast 800 Plan by Dr Michael Mosley. Is anyone else following it or even the 5:2 Plan. I would be interested to hear from you.

It's not permitted to encourage VLCDs on the forums(Very Low Calorie Diets) and his diet plan falls within the realms of a VLCD.

I'd also point out that Dr Michael Mosley is trained in psychiatry not nutrition or dietetics. There's really no need to eat that low unless your own GP has advised you to do so and is monitoring you.
