My thanks, as always, go to Dr Michael Mosley, originator of the 5:2 Diet and a constantly inspiring companion on this remarkable adventure. Thank you, too, to my friends Rebecca Nicolson and Aurea Carpenter, and to the ever-fantastic Fast Diet team – Paul Bougourd, Emmie Francis, Klara Zak, Catherine Gibbs, Georgia Vaux, Dr Sarah Schenker and Annie Hudson. I’d also like to offer my personal thanks to the many people who have shared their 5:2 stories with us. In the last instance, it is your progress towards health and well-being that underpins all that we do. Closer to home, my family deserves a huge hug for putting up with a mother who is sometimes (but not always) too busy to bake cakes.
