Though there is not much research on the long-effects of a keto diet on the gut microbiome, some studies suggest that it may increase the genetic diversity of microbiota by improving insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and inflammation.[16] Helps reduce visceral fat: Visceral fat is often known as a ‘hidden’ fat, as it is stored deep within the abdominal cavity of the body, wrapping around organs such as the liver and intestines. It’s particularly dangerous as it’s difficult to see or feel, and has been linked to a raised risk of various chronic illnesses and shorter life expectancy[19]. Research has recognised that a keto diet may help people to lose 3 times more visceral fat than those on just calorie restriction. Similarly, studies have shown that following a keto diet helps to reduce visceral fat much more than a low-fat diet.[20] On The Fast 800 Online Programme , we provide plans for two and three meals a day, depending on what you’d like your eating window to be. Additionally, The New 5:2 diet involves two fasting days a week, and may induce mild ketosis. This can work well for people who are just getting started with intermittent fasting.Following Dr Michael Mosley's No.1 bestselling Fast 800, this fabulous companion cookbook offers a collection of delicious, nutritious recipes to help you incorporate the new 800-calorie programme into your daily life. Scatter 25g flaked almonds and 25g raisins on top of the melted chocolate. Leave to set for 2-3 hours. Rinse 50g dried red split lentils and add to the pan. Stir in 225g frozen spinach and bring to simmer. Season well with salt and pepper. Cook 10 mins, stirring often. Exercise science researchers suspect that strength training is helpful for weight loss because it helps increase your resting metabolism (the rate at which your body burns calories when you’re just going about your day, not exercising).

On your two fast days, your body will enter a state of ketosis just as it would if you undertook a rapid weight loss plan. With the new 5:2, you will lose fat and aid the function of insulin in turning glucose into energy, which will in turn make it easier for you to keep portion sizes regular during the week.

Drink plenty of water: The state of ketosis may cause some people to feel thirstier than usual. Once you drastically reduce your carb intake, your body starts processing electrolytes differently and can cause dehydration. Some research even suggests that keto diets increase the risk of developing kidney stones in dieters who aren’t drinking enough water.[21] So, make sure you’re staying hydrated and healthy.

Please be aware that Week 1 starts the Monday following sign-up. The time in between sign-up and Week 1 is called the Prepare period, and is designed to give you time to have a look around the Programme, start planning your shopping list and recipes, try a workout or two, and get used to how the programme runs and works. The Fast 800 diet involves cutting your calorie intake to 800 calories a day for the first couple of weeks. You then progress to the 5:2 diet stage – where you’re only required to eat this number of calories for two days a week, while following a healthy and balanced diet on the other five days. So, while you might be restricting your calorie intake during stage two of the Fast 800 diet, bear in mind this will mean you are consuming a far lower number of calories per day compared to that recommended by the NHS, and that this stage of the diet should only be sustained for a short period of time.
