Today is - an important day on The Fast 800 calendar that reminds us of our mission.
In 2012, our co-founder, the late Dr Michael Mosley, was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes — the same disease that took his father’s life. As a doctor, Michael believed his health was under control, but this diagnosis was a wake-up call 🩺
Michael began researching how food and fasting affect blood sugar and metabolism, discovering intermittent fasting and going on to develop the ‘5:2™ diet’.
After following this diet for just 12 weeks, Michael lost nearly 20lb (9kg) and completely reversed his diabetes.
This first-hand experience inspired him to dedicate his life to making better health achievable for everyone. Since developing The Fast 800 programme, over 130,000 people have completed the 12-week course — many reversing diabetes and living without diabetes medication, just as Michael did ❤️
