Very informative, a likable fellow as well.

Is it just me or does he not mention the 5 2 diet or how to do it properly in the entire video?

Islam teaches me many things, not only fasting in ramadan, sunnah fasting on monday and thursday every week of the month also taught to us.☺

Entertaining and informative, as always, but the video clip is misnamed. There is no discussion of 5:2 fasting in the video.

Michael Mosley seems like an incredibly likable dude haha. Would be easy to hang out with him.

Ohh ,so true , I slept really bad last night,this morning I could not eat were much,but midday I had just bread with butter , but also yoghurt and fruit and red berries as well

Brilliant identification of the key problems

That's interesting that he compares the big food manufacturers advertising tactics to that of big tobacco's because about the time the health effects of tobacco use came to light, the big tobacco companies started buying food manufacturers...which is also another thing that happened about the time obesity really started to take off. That, and doctors telling us to eat low fat diets, which leaves carbohydrates to turn to.

Nice video but no mention of the 5 - 2 diet.

Red wine.. I LOVE IT

Does the body reach a degree of autophagy on the 5:2 eating plan?

Dr. Mosley's book is called The Fast 800.

MY THOUGHT PROCESS IS: HUMANS WOULD UNDERGO WEEKS WITHOUT EATING BEFORE, WHY CAN'T WE NOT EAT EVERY COUPLE HOURS? 5:2 works. I weighed 163, I did 5:2 diet for a couple weeks and I'm at 130, and ive been 130 for months now. You just need that motivation to drive you, and i swear it works. I want to lose another 5-10 pounds but I haven't made the dive.

That is very funny about spouses sabotaging the weight loss. When I was a young girl, my second cousin was so over weight. She had a pretty face but was so big and not interested in losing weight. Finally, after a few years she did lose the weight. But then, she left her husband! He was a good looking man, had a nice physique, was never over weight and the sweetest person you ever want to meet. He had stayed with her, but when she lost weight, she left him and her 3 kids! Sometimes you just can’t figure people out

2 units of carb and 1 unit of fat is addictive? That's nearly like the recipe for Scottish shortbread.

I am on a 5 day water fast right now. I mostly like to do ADF, but I think I want to try the 5, 2 fast. It is so hard for me not eat on my 2 days off.

I wonder why when i train , i am not losing weight inspite i have the same amount of food

Real Mediterranean diet is NOT low carb! You are biased if you only talk about the olive oil, fish, and veg. All around the Mediterranean, people eat large amount of pasta, bread, and rice, not to forget also very sweet desserts.

Food manufacturers are pure evil.

Not sure what this mentions about the 5:2 diet...

What about eggs,bacon,chicken?l love theses foods.

Spouse sabotage of weight loss dieting. This is so true. They will ask questions like "why do you want to lose weight, you look fine!", "do you think I'm over weight? then why do you want to?", "I heard if you lose weight to quickly it's bad for you"....

The last three times I started the 5 2 fast I had intestine problems.is that common?

I was really disappointed with the Fast 800 keto book. It focused more in the 800 calories than it did on the balance with carbs, fats and proteins. Any diet that reduces calories to 800-900 calories a day will result in weight loss, it has nothing to do with Keto. The content didn't focus well on the Keto side of things as a way to loose weight, or to get that balance right and it didn't say if the recommended 50 gms of carbs per day were total or NET. All other keto diets that I have looked at state 20 gms NET carbs per day for weight loss in keto.

Any kind of intermitent fasting will set a bipolar person off whether its 5:2 or 16:8 or whatever. I tried it and went hypomanic as well as experiencing lack of sleep.

5:2 is eating 5 days and fasting [not eating] 2 days. this guy was in an documentary and lost weight doing it.

eating 800 calories is not fasting its damaging. fasting is not eating. eating 800 calories is calorie restriction. two different body responses.

I totaly would snought up a boul of sugar if health allowed it.

Family members do sabotage you

Are you?

He keeps referring to sugar, but I hardly consume any sugar yet I am overweight. I am overweight because I have diet high in carbs and quantity. I would much rather have a cheese or salami sandwich than a chocolate bar. So I think the whole sugar leads to overeating and weight gain story is over simplified. Anyway the body turns carbs into sugar in your body(flood sugar/glucose), so it's not necessary to eat a lot of sugar to gain weight.

Doing my by myself, on day 7, and my man is the one that needs to lose it ' I feel like kfc' is my annoyance

I don’t know why when this sort of information comes from a British doctor I feel credibility is not an issue,in USA all the bravado around advertising makes me more cautious about anything like this.

Christianity encourages fasting which is good for your cells in your body. Fasting also causes autophagy which detoxifies your organs and makes you loose weight. Jews eat Kosher. Eating Kosher is also good for you it reduces your chances of food poisoning and irritable bowel and inflammation in the body. God bless you Manashantii The Christian

Spousal sabotage…wooow!😢

, l

He is misinformed. A lot of inaccurate information here. And the host is so annoying

Little or no carbs. He really doesn't know what he's talking about.

Surprising, but he miss represents the Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet is not a low-carb diet, it includes whole grains and legumes. I like this guy, but he’s not as knowledgeable as he comes across.

Yeah I'm sorry but he's wrong. I've tried that 800 calorie a day thing. You know what happened? Actually let me tell you. *Flat lined libido. It was zero. Mini me didn't work at all. *Zero energy, and I do mean zero. *Zero interest of doing anything. *Constant depression. *Constant anxiety. *Problem sleeping. *Increased heart rate and I do mean by A LOT. Usually it's between 45-47. During that 800 calorie diet it was 96 at rest. Not kidding. *Blood pressure went UP. *Restless all the time. *Weight GAIN instead of weight loss. In other words all the things Michael says won't happen, is just what ended up happening. I have a VERY active life style. I walk around 17-20 thousand steps per day. I workout four or five days a week. So everything this guy said wasn't gonna happen, happened to me. I wonder what he's excuses for that are. Still waiting to hear them.

This clown of a doctor claims eating 800 Calories in a day is fasting. And a number of his videos are banning comments It’s pretty obvious why. Fasting is doing 16/8 or 18/6 or longer...that’s what the real drs. Will tell you.
