From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet and The FastDiet comes a new revolution in fitness. Lose weight and dramatically improve your health with high intensity training—just ten minutes a day, three times a week. Hailed as “a health revolution” by the New York Times, Michael Mosley’s FastDiet—also known as the 5:2 diet—gave the world a healthy new way to lose weight through intermittent fasting. Now, Dr. Mosley addresses the essential complement to the FastDiet—FastExercise—teaming up with leading sports scientist Professor Jamie Timmons and super-fit health journalist Peta Bee to turn conventional wisdom on its head when it comes to working out. Responding to the latest research on high-intensity training (HIT), FastExercise dispenses with the practice of boring, time-consuming regimens, demonstrating that all it takes is half an hour a week to lower blood glucose levels, reduce your risk for disease, help you lose weight, and maximize your overall health. Throughout the book, the authors offer a range of workouts that take just ten minutes a day, three times a week, and can be done anytime, anywhere. Whether it’s pedaling at high resistance while waiting for your kettle to boil or holding a plank during commercials, research has shown the extraordinary impact that ultra-short bursts of HIT can have, whatever your age or level of fitness. In addition, Michael Mosley and Peta Bee break down the science behind this radically different approach to exercise and give you the tools to take advantage of the most flexible and efficient method out there. It’s a practical, enjoyable way to get maximal benefits in minimal time, short and fast, something that can become a sustainable part of your routine, as instinctive as brushing your teeth.

Fast i to dage, hvor du kun får 500-600 g kalorier om dagen. Spis som du plejer resten af ugen. Denne moderate måde at faste på er en ny, videnskabeligt baseret, meget enkel spisetrend, som med dokumenteret effekt giver vægttab og et sundere helbred, og som i tilgift har en livsforlængende effekt, hvis man integrerer den i sit liv og ikke bare bruger den som en hurtig kur. Forfattere til bogen, der har stor international succes og bl.a. ligger nr. 1 på Amazons bestsellerliste, er Michael Mosley, britisk læge og videnskabsjournalist, samt den engelske diætist Mimi Spencer. Det var en oprindeligt BBC-dokumentar om emnet, hvor Michael Mosley brugte sig selv som prøveklud, der satte han på sporet af 5:2 princippet, hvor man ikke bare kan faste sig fra symptomer som diabetes 2 og for højt kolesterol, men også taber i vægt og skærper hjernen.

5:2-dieten - uppmärksammad ny dietbok av läkaren Michael Mosley som gjorde den omtalade BBC-dokumentären Eat, Fast, and Live Longer som visades i SVT:s Vetenskapens värld5:2-dieten, eller halvfasta, är det absolut senaste inom hälsa och redan uppmärksammat i svenska tidningar och på bloggar. Ät som vanligt fem dagar i veckan och halvfasta två dagar, men med riktig mat. De vetenskapliga bevisen är entydiga: ett minskat kaloriintag ger en friskare kropp och ett längre liv – på köpet får man också en lägre vikt. Michael Mosley lever som han lär och halvfastar måndag och torsdag varje vecka, dvs lever på 600 kalorier två dagar i veckan och äter precis som vanligt de övriga fem dagarna. Våra kroppar är byggda för att klara perioder av sämre tillgång på mat, men om det blir för många dagar i sträck går kroppen ner på sparlåga. Med den här metoden gör kroppen inte det, utan det som händer under halvfastedagarna är att kroppen reparerar sig själv genom att nivåerna sänks på ett speciellt hormon (IGF-1) som bryter ner kroppen. Resultatet: minskad risk för övervikt, diabetes, hjärtsjukdom, och på köpet får man ett friskare åldrande. Det här är visserligen en diet, men det går att leva halvfastande resten av livet eftersom man får äta vad man vill övriga dagar. Förord av Kerstin Brismar, professor och kostforskare vid Karolinska Institutet.

Finalmente è arrivata anche in Italia la Dieta Fast, che ha conquistato le classifiche inglesi e americane e ha convinto milioni di persone in tutto il mondo. Perché si basa su un principio semplice, efficace e salutare: basta ridurre le calorie per 2 soli giorni alla settimana, continuando a mangiare come al solito negli altri 5. È il principio del «digiuno intermittente» o della «restrizione calorica». Come dimostrano le più recenti ricerche cliniche, la Dieta Fast non solo fa perdere i chili di troppo, ma è benefica per la salute poiché riduce i rischi di gravi patologie come diabete, disturbi cardiovascolari e forme tumorali. Inoltre la Dieta Fast non fa perdere massa muscolare, non deprime l’umore, tiene sotto controllo colesterolo e glicemia, e migliora le abitudini alimentari: dopo poche settimane non solo avrai perso i chili di troppo, ma ti sentirai sazio più rapidamente e non ti capiterà più di provare i morsi della fame. Potrai creare un tuo programma personalizzato che si inserisce perfettamente nella tua vita e, grazie alle ricette e alla tabella del contenuto calorico degli alimenti, saprai sempre come, quando e quanto mangiare, senza trascurare i tuoi gusti personali e la tua vita sociale.
