Overview:
This two-book paperback set pairs the myth-busting science of Fat Chance with the recipe-led approach of The Fast 800 Recipe Book. Dr Robert Lustig unpacks how sugar drives obesity and chronic disease, while Clare Bailey and Justine Pattison translate the popular Fast 800 approach into everyday Mediterranean-style meals. Together they give readers both the "why" behind sugar's effects and the "how" of eating well, making this an ideal starter set for anyone rethinking their relationship with food and weight.

About the Books:
Fat Chance: The Hidden Truth About Sugar, Obesity and Disease is Dr Robert Lustig's exploration of how added sugar in modern diets fuels obesity, insulin resistance and related illnesses. Drawing on years of clinical research into childhood obesity and metabolism, Lustig challenges the "calorie is a calorie" myth, showing how sugar behaves differently in the body and why it is so hard to give up. The book combines hard science with clear explanations, making complex biochemistry understandable while making a persuasive case for rethinking sugar consumption at a personal and public health level.

The Fast 800 Recipe Book, by Clare Bailey with Justine Pattison, builds on the popular Fast 800 approach to intermittent fasting and calorie-controlled eating. It offers quick, satisfying, Mediterranean-inspired recipes designed to support rapid initial weight loss or gentler, sustainable everyday eating. Recipes are built around whole foods, healthy fats and vegetables, with clear calorie counts and practical meal-planning tips, making the Fast 800 approach easy to follow at home, whether for a short reset or a longer-term lifestyle change.
