Syö, paastoa ja elä pidempään! Syö normaalisti 5 päivänä ja noudata paastodieettiä 2 päivänä viikossa. Paastopäivinä naiset keventävät 500 ja miehet 600 kilokaloriin päivässä. Tieteellinen näyttö on vakuuttava: vähentämällä kalorimäärää voit paremmin, elät terveempänä pidempään ja laihdut. 5:2-dieetti perustuu paastoamisen elämää pidentävään ja kolesteroliarvoja alentavaan voimaan. Se sopii kaikenikäisille myös pitkäaikaiseen elämäntapamuutokseen. Helpolla ja joustavalla 5:2-dieetillä voit elää normaalisti ilman, että joudut jatkuvasti kieltäytymään ruoasta. Tiedetoimittaja ja lääkäri Michael Mosley elää kuten opettaa. Hän noudattaa 5:2-dieettiä maanantaisin ja torstaisin ja syö muulloin mitä haluaa. Sen avulla aiemmin diabetesriskiryhmään kuulunut Mosley hoikistui, sai hyvät veriarvot ja alemman rasvaprosentin. * Tiede paaston taustalla* kuukauden kevytpaastopäivien ateriat, jotka valmistat ripeästi ja vaivattomasti.* 8 sivun paastodieettiä havainnollistava kuvaliite* kattava kaloritaulukko tekee paastoaterioiden koostamisesta vaivatonta* runsaasti esimerkkitapauksia "Olen ollut 5:2-paastolla noin kolme kuukautta ja painoni on pudonnut 5 kiloa. Oloni on paljon parempi - eikä vain painonpudotuksen vuoksi - vaan koska oloni on paljon energisempi ja tunnen hallitsevani syömistäni." -Helena Halme Michael Mosley opiskeli lääketieteen tohtoriksi ennen kuin ryhtyi BBC:n toimittajaksi. Hän et tunnetaan myös Suomessa YLE:n lähettämästä tieteen ja ihmiskehon ihmeitä esittelevästä dokumenttisarjastaan. Hänen dokumenttinsa Syö, paastoa ja elä pidempään myötä ajatus paastodieetistä elämää pidentävänä ja elämänlaatua parantavana keinona nousi nopeasti maailmanlaajuiseksi ilmiöksi. Mimi Spencer on toimittaja ja kirjailija, mm. teoksen 101 Things to Do Before You Diet teoksen tekijä.
