Dr. Clare Bailey creates recipes to support her husband Michael Mosley‘s hugely popular diet plans. Michael devised the 5:2 diet and the Fast 800 plan.
Recently, Dr. Clare discussed the benefits of intermittent fasting. She said: “Whether you are looking for weight loss and/or the benefits of intermittent fasting (IF) this way of eating is flexible and can usually fit into your lifestyle.”
Clare creates the recipes for her husband Michael’s Fast 800 diet, which sees followers eat 800 to 900 calories a day.
She went on: “You might like to do the 5:2 version.”
This version of the diet sees followers eat 800 to 900 calories a day twice a week and the rest of the time practice eating normally and watching portions while following on the Mediterranean style diet.

“This means eating within a 12 or eight-hour window and this helps too – as long as you don’t eat most of it late in the day.”
The health expert revealed her husband will rely on this diet if he feels the need to get on top of his diet.
She said: “And if the weight starts to creep back on you do a few 800 cal days to get back on track. That’s what Michael does now and then.”
Recently Clare detailed her best keto diet breakfast recipe.
The high-fat low carb diet aids fast weight loss as it encourages the body to burn fat for fuel.
She said: “Michael and I both enjoy a filling protein-packed breakfast.
“It keeps you going for longer and reduces the urge to snack.”
