Following the runaway success of the original FastDiet book, this dedicated cookbook was created to help followers put the diet's principles into everyday practice.

Rather than feeling restrictive, the diet is designed to fit around real life, and this cookbook makes that even easier with 150 carefully crafted, expertly calorie-counted recipes. From warming soups and vibrant salads to satisfying meat and fish dishes, every recipe has been balanced for maximum nutrition within a tight calorie budget. The book also includes detailed menu plans, kitchen-cupboard essentials, up-to-date nutritional guidance, and a dedicated section of speedy meals for busy fasting days.
