Woman who followed Dr Mosley's Fast 800 says she dropped nearly three stone

One woman has credited a weight loss programme for helping her lose a whopping three stone.

Lucy Nield, 60, said she had always been a yo-yo dieter and found little success. However, that changed when she tried the Time Restricted Eating diet after signing up for Dr Michael Mosley's The Fast 800 programme.

She weighed 13 stone 8 lbs last September but after nearly one year, she tipped the scales at just under 11 stone. Lucy, from Fleet, Hampshire, said she tried the diet after noticing she was putting on weight quicker last summer, the Mirror reports.

She said: "I was still exercising gently, but it was limited because I had problems with my hip and this injury definitely impacted my mood, as well as my mobility. To counteract that low mood, I found I ate and drank a little more than normal and without the exercise, I began to put on weight.

"Last summer, my husband and I went away and had a wonderful time, but when I got back, I looked at some of the photographs and I thought, 'oh my goodness, I've really put on weight'."
