About 5 years ago I lost 14 kg over 18 months using the 5:2 diet. It trains you to eat less, is very easy and you don't have to buy any special foods. It works and the "diet industry" hate it.
It was harder to keep up when I stopped work and went travelling for a year and a bit. Over half the weight slowly came back. This year my partner and I tried Mosley's latest wheeze the Fast 800 diet. I lost over a kilo a week for the first 3 weeks but began to feel weak and miserable so have switched back to a moderate 5:2 regime.
I have also picked up Mosley's suggestion of high-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE aka HIIT). Three bursts of 20 second uphill sprints in my commuting ride a few times a week make me feel much healthier, and warmer.
