Achievable and realistic, and so flexible, with several layers. It's got it all: Recipes, Exercise at different levels, Tracking Progress, Motivational support, Emotional support, A reachable realistic team of experts, ready to give advice, Straightforward easy to follow Explanations about diet, exercise, sleep.... I knew of, and have followed many of Michael Moseley's tv programmes and research. Recently, when I felt I needed support to change my diet habits, and motivate me to re start to cook fairly easy recipes from scratch, it seemed logical to look closely at the Fast 500. Additionally, I feel motivated by the Fast 500 exercise programmes to exercise daily again. Im looking forward to beginning the mindfulness part of the programme, which I think I'm now ready for. I feel supported by the Fast 500 Team, and by members of the community, even though I have not fully participated in many conversations with the community. I don't consider this as being on a diet, but rather as a change in my diet, which I intend to continue. My older brother was staying with me for two weeks, and we shared the shopping and cooking. He loved the recipes, and how healthy he felt.
