Michael Mosley — diets, TV shows and health coverage

Curious about Michael Mosley’s work and what the fuss is about? This tag pulls together everything we publish related to Mosley: his popular diet plans, TV programmes, books and the debates around his health advice. Use this page to find clear summaries, practical tips, and straight-up reviews that help you decide what to try and what to question.

What you’ll find here

We cover several types of stories under this tag. Expect explainers on Mosley’s diets like the 5:2 and Fast 800, plain-language breakdowns of his TV episodes and documentaries, reviews of his books, and fact checks when needed. You’ll also see pieces about how researchers respond to his recommendations and how his ideas fit into current medical guidance.

Each article aims to be useful: short summaries up top, the key takeaways you can try right away, and links to studies or official guidance when available. If a claim affects medication, chronic disease or pregnancy, the article will flag that and tell you to speak with a clinician before changing habits.

Quick practical tips before you try a Mosley plan

Thinking of trying intermittent fasting or one of Mosley’s approaches? Here are simple, practical steps to get started safely:

• Talk to your doctor first if you take medication, have diabetes, are pregnant, or have other health concerns.
• Start slowly: try a single reduced-calorie day or a light fasting window before going full in.
• Focus on real food: vegetables, lean protein, whole grains and healthy fats make fasting easier and more sustainable.
• Stay hydrated and keep caffeine steady if you normally rely on it; sudden changes can cause headaches and fatigue.
• Watch energy and mood for the first two weeks. If you feel faint, dizzy or unwell, stop and check with a clinician.

We don’t replace medical advice, but we do highlight what the science says and where experts disagree. You’ll find both supportive studies and critiques in our coverage so you can balance benefits and risks.
