The science behind The Fast 800

The biology behind weight loss

Burning energy 101

Your body mainly runs on two types of fuel: sugar (in the form of glucose) and fat. When it uses glucose, fat is stored in the body.

The sugar problem

When you have more glucose than your body needs for energy, it eventually gets stored as body fat. This commonly happens when someone eats a high-carbohydrate (sugar & starch) diet.

How to burn fat

When you eat a low-carb diet, your body has less glucose to run on. So, it starts to use your fat stores instead. You can fast-track this process by intermittent fasting.

The Fast 800 Programme will teach you how to combine delicious food with intermittent fasting so you can burn through excess fat stores and return your body to health.

Our three core approaches

Finding a programme that works for you is so important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle long-term

Dr Michael Mosley explains the biology behind weight loss

How your body burns fat

The biology behind weight loss

How your body burns energy

Your body runs on two different types of fuel: glucose (i.e. sugar) and fat. Your body only turns to major fat burning for fuel when glucose supplies (which are stored mainly in your muscles and liver in the form of glycogen) start to run down.

The glucose problem

Many of the foods we eat are high in carbohydrates, which contain more glucose. If you eat a lot of high carb snacks or food during the day, your body will be busy burning glucose, not your fat stores. When there’s more glucose in the body than can be used, it triggers fat storage.

The key to burning fat

Less carbs. By eating less carbohydrates as part of your 12-week diet plan, your body naturally has less glucose to burn.

Less calories. By consuming about 800 calories each day, your body can swiftly burn through your glycogen stores and start burning fat instead.

Less often. By eating less frequently, your body can remain in the fat burning zone for longer.
