Michael Mosley: eat light, pedal fast

Saturday 19 October 2013 12:47PM
Michael Mosley is a journalist, physician, producer and television
presenter. He has produced television programs where he is the guinea
pig. In Eat, Fast And Live Longer, he experiments with a simple
diet which has people eating lightly 2 days each week. For him, it
worked well, perhaps too well. He lost 12Kg and has now modified the
diet to eating lightly 1 day each week. But there are other benefits in
addition to weight loss. The diet helps cholesterol and can eliminate
diabetes. In The Truth About Exercise, Mosley discovers the
benefits of exercise can be found in short bursts of high intensity
exertion, rather than hours slogging on treadmills or running.
