"Two years on from first publication of The fast diet, which outlined a radical new approach to weight loss, intermittent fasting and the 5:2 programme is still the diet everyone is talking about. In this fully updated and expanded edition for 2015, Dr Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer revisit the health phenomenon of the decade.

As featured in The Times and The Daily Mail. Are you at a point in your life where health is becoming more of a priority? Are you confused by ever-changing headlines that contrive to make the simple act of eating a peril rather than a pleasure? The Midlife Kitchen has the answers. Midlife is not a time to be concerned with food fads and foibles, but rather a glorious opportunity to wrest back control of your eating in the interests of health, happiness and a long life. Taste must certainly come first, but with health firmly snapping at its heels, underpinned by well-established nutritional common sense. Busy lives require simple, sustaining recipes that incorporate health-giving ingredients without too much fanfare or fuss. This book is not about ''clean-eating'' or super foods, detoxing or restriction. Instead, it is about building up a balanced and diverse diet, with less sugar, better fat and good carbs. Alongside each recipe is the Midlife Kitchen emblem, the star anise. With each of the eight seeds representing a specific Midlife Health category - such as Hormone Harmony; Mind, Memory, Mood; or Heart Health - authors Sam and Mimi are able to provide simple nutritional information. Health tips explain the benefits of certain ingredients, while ''Why We Love It'' sections explore the advantages of cooking each dish. Midlife Must-Haves show how to create homemade essentials such as Midlife Grown-up Granola, Midlife Power Porridge and Midlife Sweetener. From Seared Sirloin on Pan-roasted Veg to The Mother of All Greek Salads, Nurture Bircher to Three-ginger Fire Cake, the recipes in this book come together to create a vibrant menu bursting with mouth-watering flavours.

In this day and age, most women are well aware that dieting (and the accompanying deprivation) is no way to lose weight. But you can''t blame a girl for trying-after all, who doesn''t want to be thinner, feel happier, and look fabulous? Who doesn''t want to fit into her skinny jeans and feel like a million bucks? Mimi Spencer has spent most of her life surrounded by catwalks and ultrathin celebrities--and she was sick of dieting. So she created the anti-diet. In 101 Things to do Before You Diet, Spencer shares the tips, tricks, and solutions that finally helped her lose those last few pounds and shows women how to trim, flatter, and accept every inch of their bodies. With ample doses of empathy and irreverence, Spencer offers readers 101 figure-flattering tips, from choosing the right fashion to just saying no to fat traps and calorie pitfalls. Spencer''s candid advice (drawn from years spent at the frontlines of fashion) and her uniquely relatable voice (drawn from decades of being a woman on a diet) will keep readers entertained as they knock off a few pounds and learn how to love the skin they''re in.

Fast i to dage, hvor du kun får 500-600 g kalorier om dagen. Spis som du plejer resten af ugen. Denne moderate måde at faste på er en ny, videnskabeligt baseret, meget enkel spisetrend, som med dokumenteret effekt giver vægttab og et sundere helbred, og som i tilgift har en livsforlængende effekt, hvis man integrerer den i sit liv og ikke bare bruger den som en hurtig kur. Forfattere til bogen, der har stor international succes og bl.a. ligger nr. 1 på Amazons bestsellerliste, er Michael Mosley, britisk læge og videnskabsjournalist, samt den engelske diætist Mimi Spencer. Det var en oprindeligt BBC-dokumentar om emnet, hvor Michael Mosley brugte sig selv som prøveklud, der satte han på sporet af 5:2 princippet, hvor man ikke bare kan faste sig fra symptomer som diabetes 2 og for højt kolesterol, men også taber i vægt og skærper hjernen.

Syö, paastoa ja elä pidempään! Syö normaalisti 5 päivänä ja noudata paastodieettiä 2 päivänä viikossa. Paastopäivinä naiset keventävät 500 ja miehet 600 kilokaloriin päivässä. Tieteellinen näyttö on vakuuttava: vähentämällä kalorimäärää voit paremmin, elät terveempänä pidempään ja laihdut. 5:2-dieetti perustuu paastoamisen elämää pidentävään ja kolesteroliarvoja alentavaan voimaan. Se sopii kaikenikäisille myös pitkäaikaiseen elämäntapamuutokseen. Helpolla ja joustavalla 5:2-dieetillä voit elää normaalisti ilman, että joudut jatkuvasti kieltäytymään ruoasta. Tiedetoimittaja ja lääkäri Michael Mosley elää kuten opettaa. Hän noudattaa 5:2-dieettiä maanantaisin ja torstaisin ja syö muulloin mitä haluaa. Sen avulla aiemmin diabetesriskiryhmään kuulunut Mosley hoikistui, sai hyvät veriarvot ja alemman rasvaprosentin. * Tiede paaston taustalla* kuukauden kevytpaastopäivien ateriat, jotka valmistat ripeästi ja vaivattomasti.* 8 sivun paastodieettiä havainnollistava kuvaliite* kattava kaloritaulukko tekee paastoaterioiden koostamisesta vaivatonta* runsaasti esimerkkitapauksia "Olen ollut 5:2-paastolla noin kolme kuukautta ja painoni on pudonnut 5 kiloa. Oloni on paljon parempi - eikä vain painonpudotuksen vuoksi - vaan koska oloni on paljon energisempi ja tunnen hallitsevani syömistäni." -Helena Halme Michael Mosley opiskeli lääketieteen tohtoriksi ennen kuin ryhtyi BBC:n toimittajaksi. Hän et tunnetaan myös Suomessa YLE:n lähettämästä tieteen ja ihmiskehon ihmeitä esittelevästä dokumenttisarjastaan. Hänen dokumenttinsa Syö, paastoa ja elä pidempään myötä ajatus paastodieetistä elämää pidentävänä ja elämänlaatua parantavana keinona nousi nopeasti maailmanlaajuiseksi ilmiöksi. Mimi Spencer on toimittaja ja kirjailija, mm. teoksen 101 Things to Do Before You Diet teoksen tekijä.

5:2-dieten - uppmärksammad ny dietbok av läkaren Michael Mosley som gjorde den omtalade BBC-dokumentären Eat, Fast, and Live Longer som visades i SVT:s Vetenskapens värld5:2-dieten, eller halvfasta, är det absolut senaste inom hälsa och redan uppmärksammat i svenska tidningar och på bloggar. Ät som vanligt fem dagar i veckan och halvfasta två dagar, men med riktig mat. De vetenskapliga bevisen är entydiga: ett minskat kaloriintag ger en friskare kropp och ett längre liv – på köpet får man också en lägre vikt. Michael Mosley lever som han lär och halvfastar måndag och torsdag varje vecka, dvs lever på 600 kalorier två dagar i veckan och äter precis som vanligt de övriga fem dagarna. Våra kroppar är byggda för att klara perioder av sämre tillgång på mat, men om det blir för många dagar i sträck går kroppen ner på sparlåga. Med den här metoden gör kroppen inte det, utan det som händer under halvfastedagarna är att kroppen reparerar sig själv genom att nivåerna sänks på ett speciellt hormon (IGF-1) som bryter ner kroppen. Resultatet: minskad risk för övervikt, diabetes, hjärtsjukdom, och på köpet får man ett friskare åldrande. Det här är visserligen en diet, men det går att leva halvfastande resten av livet eftersom man får äta vad man vill övriga dagar. Förord av Kerstin Brismar, professor och kostforskare vid Karolinska Institutet.

Le diete non funzionano e mai funzioneranno, questa è la verità. Allora, dice Mimi Spencer, godiamoci il buon cibo in santa pace, cerchiamo di scegliere quello giusto, mangiamo come dio comanda, con tanto di posate, a tavola, gustandoci ogni boccone. Avere qualche chilo in più non è la fine del mondo. O comunque non è quello il problema. Il problema è che non funziona qualcosa nelle nostre relazioni interpersonali, nei criteri con cui scegliamo cosa comprare al supermercato, nel nostro rapporto con coltello e forchetta. In breve, nel nostro modo di vita. A volte ci si infila in un modello culturale che finisce per starci stretto e fare le grinze come un abito di due taglie in meno. Un modello che parcellizza e sgretola ogni attimo della quotidianità. E che porta a spizzicare più che a mangiare e a desiderare altro da ciò che siamo. Ma è lecito sentirsi grassi e mettersi a dieta? O forse – se in effetti ci sono dei chili di troppo e non ci si sente a proprio agio – è arrivato il momento di riorganizzare la propria vita e pensare a un restyling? Le scorciatoie e i trucchi di Mimi Spencer vanno in quest’ultima direzione. Il messaggio è chiaro: smetterla di considerare il cibo un nemico. Ovviamente – va da sé – con il sorriso sulle labbra.
