ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
 
 

This book would not have been possible without the many scientists who gave so generously of their time and their research. They include Dr Luigi Fontana of Washington University School of Medicine; Professor Mark Mattson of the National Institute on Aging; Dr Krista Varady of the University of Illinois at Chicago; and Professor Valter Longo, director of the USC Longevity Institute.

 

A huge thanks to Aidan Laverty, editor of BBC’s
Horizon
, who pointed me towards the brave new world of Intermittent Fasting, and to the entire production team, but especially Kate Dart and Roshan Samarasinghe. I’d also like to thank Janice Hadlow who was brave enough to first put me in front of the camera and gave me the chance to try new things.

 

Thank you to Nicola Jeal at
The Times
for her constant ingenuity and support.

 

Our thanks also go to Rebecca Nicolson, Aurea Carpenter and Emmie Francis at Short Books, for their hard work and immediate grasp of the Fast Diet’s life-changing potential.
