Dr Michael Mosley has added a new diet to his repertoire; The Fast 800 Keto. The weight loss guru’s new diet is different from the usual high fat, low carb ketogenic diet. The expert claims The Fast 800 Keto “builds on the science that provides the foundation for The Very Fast 800 and simply reduces the carbohydrates even further to push your body into more consistent nutritional ketosis”. So how does it work and how much weight can you lose? Dr Michael revealed all and explained how it was a “safe” method for “rapid weight loss”.
Dr Michael explained: “It’s a classic Keto diet – you’re eating high fat, and that’s not necessarily healthy in the long term.
“So I’ve produced a Keto diet which is reduced carbs and reduced calories, and this has been clinically tested in Italy and Spain.
“It [the diet] has been shown to produce an average weight loss of two stone (12-13kg) in around eight weeks, with a waist shrinkage of around 12 centimetres.
“In long term studies, the weight loss is maintained.

Low carb, Keto burger
Speaking about the recipe, Dr Michael said: “This keto burger is a great option if you’re looking to lower your intake of carbohydrates and help your body get into ketosis.
“A standard takeaway burger will leave you feeling unsatisfied and hungry, being packed with refined carbs and trans fat.
“However, our burger will give you long-lasting energy, help you burn fat and lose weight for better health.”

Poppy seeds, optional
100g lean beef mince
A quarter of a tsp garlic powder
Half a tsp dried oregano
20g cheddar cheese, sliced
A quarter of a baby cos lettuce leaves separated
A quarter of tomato, sliced
One tsp whole egg mayonnaise
One tsp dijon mustard
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to fan 160°C/180°C/350°F/Gas mark four.
2. In a bowl, combine the butter, egg, milk, almond and coconut flour and baking powder. Stir with a whisk until thoroughly combined and smooth.
3. Lightly grease a 12cm/4inch circular ramekin/s. Pour batter into a ramekin/s. Smooth the surface.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the surface of the bread springs back when touched rather than sinking in. Let the bread cool slightly.
5. While the bun/s are baking, make your burger patties: mix the beef mince with oregano, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Form into round patties (about the same size as your ramekins).
6. Fry your patties in a pan over medium high heat for a few minutes on each side – once flipped, place the cheese slice on top and turn the heat to low and put a lid on the pan to encourage the cheese to melt.
7. Use a spatula to loosen the bread from the sides of the ramekin and turn it out.
8. Slice your bun in half horizontally and spread the mayonnaise over before layering in your lettuce and tomato. Top with your burger pattie and the top of the bun.
