Overview
This two-book paperback collection brings together two practical guides to the 5:2 intermittent fasting lifestyle. The Fast Diet: Revised and Updated, by Dr. Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer, lays out the original 5:2 method with updated science and simple recipes. Five Two for a New You, by Janet Menzies, builds on that foundation with everyday strategies for applying the approach beyond the plate. Together they offer a flexible, evidence-informed path toward weight management, better energy, and long-term healthy habits for real, busy lives.

About the Books
The Fast Diet: Revised and Updated is the book that helped popularize intermittent fasting for a mainstream audience. Dr. Michael Mosley, a physician and science journalist, teamed with journalist Mimi Spencer to explain the 5:2 principle: eat normally five days a week, then reduce calorie intake on two non-consecutive days. This revised edition folds in updated research on metabolic health, appetite regulation, and the wider benefits linked to periodic fasting, alongside simple, low-fuss recipes and a flexible weekly calendar designed to fit around work, family, and social commitments. Five Two for a New You, by journalist and author Janet Menzies, takes the same core fasting principle and widens the lens. Rather than focusing purely on food, Menzies explores how the "five days on, two days different" rhythm can apply to fitness, work-life balance, and everyday organization, offering a practical companion with realistic tips for staying consistent through busy weeks and travel. Read together, these two paperbacks give readers both the original blueprint for 5:2 fasting and a wider set of tools for making the habit stick, covering the science, the meals, and the mindset shifts that support steady, sustainable change rather than short-term extreme dieting.
