"A brilliantly informative book on how to optimise a keto diet." Daily Mail

A keto diet - where you flip your metabolic switch, going from burning sugar to burning fat for fuel - leads to significant weight loss and other potential health benefits. But one of the challenges of a standard low-carb, high-fat keto diet is that it can be hard to stick to.

Dr Michael Mosley's Fast 800 Keto is both more effective than a conventional keto regime, and healthier and more sustainable. The secret to this new approach is that it combines keto with intermittent fasting, which means you go into ketosis faster, while also being able to enjoy delicious Mediterranean-style food.

Based on the latest dietary science, this book presents a simple, highly flexible three-step programme to ensure you lose weight rapidly and safely, while preserving your metabolic rate. It includes protein-rich, low-carb recipes and easy-to- follow menus from bestselling author Dr Clare Bailey, and all the other tools you need to shift stubborn fat and transform your health for good.

Summary

Chapter 1: The Fast 800 Keto Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of the Fast 800 Keto diet, a low-carb, high-fat plan that combines elements of time-restricted feeding (16:8 fasting) with a ketogenic diet. It explains the potential health benefits, such as weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and reduced inflammation.

Example: "Studies have shown that alternating periods of fasting and eating can improve hormonal balance, reduce insulin resistance, and promote fat loss."

Chapter 2: The 800-Calorie Phase

This chapter outlines the details of the 800-calorie phase of the diet, which typically lasts for 8 weeks. It includes sample meal plans, recipes, and provides guidance on managing hunger and cravings.

Example: "During the 800-calorie phase, you will consume fewer than 800 calories per day, primarily from protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fats."

Chapter 3: The Keto Phase

This chapter introduces the ketogenic phase of the diet, which involves severely restricting carbohydrates to put the body into a state of ketosis. It discusses the different types of ketogenic diets, including the targeted ketogenic diet and cyclical ketogenic diet.

Example: "In a targeted ketogenic diet, you may consume more carbohydrates around workouts to enhance performance."

Chapter 4: Breaking the Fast

This chapter covers how to safely exit the fasting phase and transition to a maintenance diet. It provides tips on gradually increasing calorie and carbohydrate intake, and emphasizes the importance of listening to your body's signals.

Example: "Start by slowly adding 100-200 calories per day to your diet, and gradually increase carbohydrates by 5-10 grams per day."

Chapter 5: The Maintenance Phase

This chapter focuses on developing a sustainable long-term eating plan after the initial weight loss phase. It offers guidance on choosing nutrient-rich foods, portion control, and lifestyle modifications to maintain results.

Example: "Aim to consume plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, while limiting processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats."

Chapter 6: Intermittent Fasting

This chapter delves into the benefits and different methods of intermittent fasting, such as the 16:8 fasting protocol or alternate-day fasting. It provides practical tips for implementing fasting into your lifestyle.

Example: "During a 16:8 fasting schedule, you would eat within an 8-hour window (for example, from noon to 8 pm) and fast for the remaining 16 hours."

Chapter 7: The Reset

This chapter explains how to use the Fast 800 Keto diet as a monthly or quarterly reset to help boost weight loss, improve energy levels, and support overall well-being.

Example: "Consider doing a 5-7 day reset once or twice a month to shed excess weight, reduce inflammation, and improve your mood."
