I lost seven stone and cured my IBS, menopausal hot flushes and reversed my borderline diabetes by following Dr Michael Mosley's Fast 800 programme. This is how I made it work for me - and how you can too ⊕

I'm 5ft 2 and had been around seven-and-a-half stone for years, but I have always been an emotional eater. I got into the habit of comforting myself with food.
