“I knew of fast800 due to the excellent books Michael Mosley had written. I was incredibly unfit, huffing and puffing to get up the shortest hill, stairs etc, and overweight by about 4 stones. I was tossing and turning between a healthier lifestyle and one of the wonder weight loss drugs but after research didn't think drugs were a particularly healthy way to go so started on the fast 800 program. I started at 15st 9lb and after just 9 weeks now weigh 13st 9lb so a very impressive 2st loss! I'm over the moon, feel so much fitter, can walk up stairs easily now and up a fairly long hill near where I live without stopping to catch my breath. I look so much better and am able to wear anything I like; I choose clothes not as a cover up exercise but because I like them and I've started to introduce a lot more colour into my wardrobe! I nearly always bought my clothes from charity shops because I didn't feel I deserved nice clothes from fashion shops but that's all changed now!!! I still have a way to go but feel armed with the knowledge (and recipes!) I need to make this transition permanent.
Thank you fast800!”

“I tried to pay and my payment went through and I did the trial week and I loved it. Then I got an email saying my payment hadn’t gone through. The email gave me instructions that were completely intelligible to me. I manage to shop online and buy airline tickets and book hotels so I’m not sure why I couldn’t pay you and do my program for longer than a week. Very disappointed. I’ve managed to go it alone using the fast 800 cookbooks but I really wanted the online program.”

“This program surpassed my expectations. It is far more than a weight loss program. It has taught me so much about healthy eating, cooking and lifestyle. The program and way of eating will now remain with me for life. Both my partner and I really enjoyed the food, the recipes are easy to make and delicious. The weight literally fell off! We incorporated the shakes which were also delicious and satisfying. The Fast800 website and app is a credit to the program, comprehensive, informative on so many subjects and importantly, very easy to use. At first it can feel all a bit overwhelming, but you quickly become accustomed to the app and look forward to the ease of preparing a wide variety of meals (rather than the same old). As a management consultant, I am in awe of this program. It is client facing (easy) but there has been a wealth of experience, education, knowledge and technology that has gone into the development of this program. It is an absolute credit to Dr Mosley, and I am sure his family must be extremely proud of his legacy. Thank you Dr Mosley.”
“This is the best & most successful diet I've ever tried. The food is delicious & nutritious, so you don't feel too deprived. Even though the Very Fast 800 (for those wanting a fast start or who have a lot to lose) is only 800 calories a day, you still eat 2 or 3 meals of real food. The app is very easy to use & very helpful. There are recipes, exercises, meditations, learning articles, as well as community groups. You do need to be willing to cook (mostly) simple recipes tho.”
“I like the simplicity of use in using the app. I particularly like all the meal options and the ease with which to prepare meals in advance.
I also like the choice of exercises and advice given on each week of the programme, including the mindfulness videos.”
“This program is very impressive. It has been thoroughly planned and I feel that everything is in place for me to succeed. I am thoroughly enjoying the recipes, as is my family.”
“I love the app! The ingredients list is helpful, but it can be tricky to get the whole week’s shopping at once.
I have been using the 5:2 option and my sugar cravings have hugely reduced.”
“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.”
“Week 10/12.
I have really enjoyed the program. The meal choices are flexible, which has allowed me to switch meals if the recommended meal is not to my taste.
All of the low impact exercises have been more than manageable. As well as that I have walked or cycled every day.
The reading has also been manageable. Not to long or short.
So far 12.5kg off. I am really proud of my achievements.
I would certainly recommend The Fast 800.”
“At first I went along ok with this, and lost nearly 1st. I've been drifting since then.
Latterly I've found it quite time consuming having alter most things in my meal plan to suit my lifestyle (single person, 2 meals a day, breakfast and late lunch) and to incorporate more of the dishes that I know work for me, and fewer novel stuff each week.
I find the absence of personal support hardest. It's a program, and it doesn't know that I am struggling.”

“Having fluctuated in terms of weight over the past few years somewhere between 96kg while occasionally tipping over into 100, never having done a diet in my life, having experienced my mother's death who was 93 I'm feeling that I would like to get to that age too (I am 72), I decided enough was enough and I needed to get back to a reasonable weight. Ideally it would be to get down to just under 80 kilos which would give me a BMI of “normal”. That was my aim. Despite unforeseen interruptions to the diet, I find the Fast800 programme effective and easy to follow, alternating between fasting days and normal eating. I am presently down to 84kg. Other effects (blood pressure, sleeping well…) have been positive too and I have to agree with your own words that you have demystified the science of nutrition while making complex dietary principles accessible. Rather than Ozempic and other medications, wouldn't it be helpful for the National Health to run dietary programmes such as the Fast800?”
“Could nt stick to it - had big energy drops. constantly hungry and miserable. Sorry - I really wanted this to work but it wasnt for me.
recipes also for one were impractical as wasted so much food.
I really wish I could have got this to work but it wasnt for me.”
“Excellent recipes, all very tasty and easy to prepare! Love the meals stated for the week, as helps me know what to buy and plan for what I will eat for that week. Love the option to swap meals! The App is very user friendly and nice looking!”
“After many, many years of "diets", I have finally found the thing that works for me. I wish I'd found the Fast 800 years ago. It has become my lifestyle and I loose weight too.
The plan offers a holistic approach with healthy recipes, exercise, mindfulness, coaches and CBT approaches if you want to use them. Personally, I have found this all very helpful. I feel so healthy!”
