Hi everyone! I’m only doing 1 fastday per week, because I’m very active and have always had a fast metabolism, which means that I’m really hungry most of the time anyway. And that makes 2 fastdays per week feel overly difficult. Plus, I wasn’t overweight to start with, I just wanted to slim down and hopefully get some of the health-benefits from fasting! I get stomach cramps, and sometimes have trouble sleeping. But 1 fastday per week has still worked really well! I’ve lost 5kg in these past 7 months, and my BMI is down from 22.1 to 20.6.

People around me thinks that fasting is “crazy”, “unhealthy” and “extreme” but I hope that will change over time. That they’ll learn and realize what’s really extreme: The fast-food, eat-all, huge portions-mindset of todays society!

I work as a registered nurse in Sweden, and try to give people healthy advice about food. But it is an uphill struggle.

“Eat, Fast and Live Longer” 6 August 2012

Michael J. Mosley has set himself a truly ambitious goal: he wants to live longer, stay younger and lose weight in the bargain. And he wants to make as few changes to his life as possible along the way. He discovers the powerful new science behind the ancient idea of fasting, and he thinks he’s found a way of doing it with the 5:2 diet that still allows him to enjoy his food. Michael tests out the science of fasting on himself – with life-changing results.

“The Truth About Exercise” 28 February 2012

Michael Mosley investigates recent scientific research that could change the way people exercise, including a study that suggests many could benefit from just three minutes of high-intensity activity a week. He also discovers the health benefits of seemingly innocuous actions, such as walking and fidgeting, and learns why some people do not respond to exercise at all.

The Truth About Vitamins (16 Sep. 2004)

Vitamins without doubt are vital to our health.
And it remains possible that high dose vitamin
supplements will one day be proven to protect
against illnesses like heart disease and cancer.
But so far, definitive evidence for these claims
remains largely elusive. And as we discover more
about some vitamins, it is increasingly clear that
in large doses they can have unexpected,
and sometimes dangerous consequences.
