The Fast 800 has unveiled updated meal and exercise plans, alongside educational resources, designed specifically for people using GLP-1 weight loss medications such as Mounjaro or Ozempic.
The programme aims to help users lose weight safely, maintain results during treatment, and continue their success after stopping medication.
Developed by Dr. Michael Mosley, Dr. Clare Bailey Mosley, and a team of experts, The Fast 800 combines tailored nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle tools to meet the unique needs of medication users, while remaining accessible for anyone seeking natural, sustainable weight loss.
Why a Holistic Approach Matters
While GLP-1 medications can suppress appetite and reduce constant “food noise,” research shows that weight regain is common once treatment stops without a holistic approach, including:
- Balanced meals to meet essential nutritional needs
- Exercise to preserve muscle mass
- Lifestyle changes to build long-term healthy habits
New Meal Plans for GLP-1 Users
The Fast 800 has launched The Very Fast 800 High Fibre meal plans, available in vegetarian and non-vegetarian versions, specifically tailored for GLP-1 users:
- Three easy-to-prepare meals per day (800–1,000 calories) for those who prefer lighter portions
- Quick recipes that take less than 30 minutes, ideal for low-motivation days
- Increased fibre (≈24g per day) to support gut and metabolic health and ease digestive symptoms
- Nutrient-dense ingredients like vegetables and legumes to combat malnutrition risk
- High protein to preserve muscle mass and reduce side effects like nausea and fatigue
- Balanced energy to help combat fatigue often experienced on medication
The programme features almost 40 new recipes, adding to the 900+ existing meals, prioritising convenience for users experiencing reduced appetite.
“Weight loss medications can help suppress appetite, but they don’t teach people how to eat well or build long-term habits,” explains Gabrielle Newman, The Fast 800 Nutritionist. “Our meal plans are designed to support users during treatment and beyond, mitigating medication symptoms and promoting sustainable health and weight loss.”
Get Moving: Tailored Exercise Plan
Alongside meal plans, The Fast 800 introduces Get Moving, an exercise programme for GLP-1 users:
- Low-impact workouts for those experiencing fatigue or sluggishness
- Resistance training to preserve muscle mass during rapid fat loss
- Light aerobic cardio a few times per week, proven to improve outcomes for medication users
- ‘Run to Walk’ progression to gradually rebuild fitness as energy returns
“Muscle loss can affect strength, balance, and mobility. Our Get Moving plan focuses on maintaining muscle mass while supporting overall fitness,” explains Pascal Sedgwick, The Fast 800 Exercise Manager.
Additional Support
The Fast 800 programme also offers:
- Educational resources with evidence-based articles on weight loss medications
- A dedicated support group in the programme’s Community feature, moderated by Health Coaches for peer support and guidance
“Weight loss drugs make shedding pounds easier, but keeping it off is harder. The Fast 800 provides meal plans and exercise routines specifically for GLP-1 users to support long-term success,” says Dr. Jack Mosley.

Even for non-medication users, The Fast 800 offers:
- Multiple programmes: The Very Fast 800, High Fibre, 5:2™, and The Way of Life
- 20 flexible meal plans based on the Mediterranean diet, including vegetarian, non-vegetarian, and keto options
