Getting summer ready with The Fast Beach diet

To tie in with the publication of The Fast Beach Diet - a superfast programme to get you feeling confident and summer-ready, we'll be launching our own six week Fast Beach Diet programme in the run up to the school summer holidays.

The Fast Beach diet aims to shake up your routine and change how you think about food and exercise. The health benefits of the Fast Diet, as explained by Dr Michael Mosley in our webchat can range from "improved insulin sensitivity, reduced inflammatory markers (leading to reduced risk of cancer and possibly improvements in asthma) and possibly reduced risk of dementia". We've created some tasty meal plans to help you get used to this new way of eating (as well as being great inspiration for delicious summer food).

The programme also includes a regimen of High Intensity Training (HIT), which is a great way to introduce quick and easy regular exercise into your lifestyle.

Starting from next week, we'll have tips, tricks, recipes and mealplanners to help you along. And the book's author, Mimi Spencer, will be popping in over the programme to answer any questions and bully cajole you into sticking with it.

If you're up for taking part - let us know on this thread.

I'm reading this at the moment. Both Mimi and Dr M say in the book that this should be done in adjunct to the original Fast Diet. Also, Mimi clearly says early on that the top goal is health, not weight loss which she advises shouldn't be very quick - 2 lbs a week is what she says should be the average for each of the six weeks. This approach is a boot camp for 5:2, she says, not a separate thing.

I hope that MN will edit their OP to give a more informed view of what the book is about, though I must add that I've only read three chapters so far.

I'll post more when I finish the book next week.

Thanks for raising this Southeastdweller - it's a good point! We've now edited the OP to give a bit more detail about how the Fast Diet works, and what the benefits are.
