A woman who struggled for years to lose weight shed more than three stone by following Dr Michael Mosley’s diet
Michelle McPherson, 60, signed up to the late health guru’s The Fast 800 weight loss plan after losing all hope of ever getting her ‘waist back’ after going through menopause.
“When I went through menopause, I literally lost my waist, and I hated it,” she confessed. “I asked my GP if she thought I’d ever get my waist back.
“And, to my horror, she said no!” The personal assistant from Romford, Essex, found herself growing so large that she “couldn’t even bend over” to tie her own shoes. “Over the years, I felt like I’d tried everything for weight loss; however, nothing worked for me long-term.”
Frustrated and feeling defeated, Michelle’s size continued to increase, and she “ended up being a dress size 18, verging on a size 20”. A health check-up at the doctor’s clinic was a wake-up call – Michelle’s health was deteriorating. She had suffered from a hiatus hernia, acid reflux and had now fallen into the pre-diabetic range.
She said: “I decided I needed to take drastic action.” Michelle, feeling a newfound sense of determination. In her search for weight loss plans, discovered the late Dr Michael Mosley, whom she recognised from TV, reports the Express.
The Fast 800 programme seemed to have the answers that Michelle was seeking – and so she signed up for the free seven-day trial. “I was quite excited,” Michelle expressed about starting The Fast 800 weight loss programme.
At the start of each day, Michelle would log into her account on the website to complete a workout before work.
Michelle said: “Every day is different; some days I’m there with Pascal doing resistance training, some days with Lucy doing HIIT or with Chrissy doing Pilates – I love it.
“I actually look forward to seeing them in the morning now.” She said that an online community of fellow enthusiasts has been pivotal in maintaining her drive.
Following The Fast 800 programme not only contributed to weight loss but also unexpectedly boosted Michelle’s vitality. She added: “While I joined the programme to tackle my weight, I didn’t ever expect this amazingly positive side effect of such increased energy.”
Michelle continued to rave about unexpected health boons, she said: “Other benefits I could never have predicted were the improvement on my hair, my skin and my nails.”
Since embarking on her journey with The Fast 800, Michelle has shed over three-and-a-half stone and witnessed a dramatic enhancement in her well-being, and added: “I did get my waist back.”
