I was so sad to hear the news about Dr Michael Mosley The Fast 800. As a non-scientific person who is genuinely interested in diet, nutrition and wellbeing for physical and mental health I welcomed and respected his desire to share his research with the wider audience. He made this area of health science interesting and easy to access and understand. Thank you so much, you will be missed so much. RIP 😔

Suzanne Walters

I am just one of the many many people whose lives have been made better by following your thoughtful and well researched advice: my health has improved significantly. Thank you. I would like to send my sincerest condolences to your family, who I know will miss you greatly. Rest in peace, Michael..

I was in week 12 of program when the news that Micheal was missing come through. Having seen Miicheals face and been encouraged by his voice on a daily basis, I was really upset and affected by Micheals death even though I didn’t know him personally. His program has completely changed the way l live and what I eat , for life , given me a better fitter, healthier life. His untimely death was such a tragedy and my heart goes out to his friends and family

I’m speaking on behalf of my entire extended family and many of my fellow Australians when I say that Michael made a huge difference in all our lives and although we never met him, we loved him. He’s one of our favourite people on this planet. Losing him left us all devastated. He was one of the world’s most authentic, wise, helpful, trustworthy, likeable people. One of the very very few whose every word was gospel to us. we will forever hold him, dear.

Cecilia

A huge and sincere thank you to Dr Mosley. His talent as an amazing communicator brought an understanding and awareness of present day challenges to our health whilst also explaining simple ways to improve daily life. Loved his television programs and podcasts. What a legacy.

Laurie

I always enjoyed and watched Dr Mosley's programs. After 50 years of dieting I was finally able to lose weight which gave a boost to my very poor heart health and made me feel amazing.

I also found his sleep program of immense benefit and feel so sad we have lost such an interesting, innovative and kind educator.

May his legacy live on in better health for all

I've watched Michael Mosley over the years share with utter honesty the difficulties of trying to diet and the struggle with cravings ( the easter egg story specifically resonated) his clear approach to diet and his joy in sharing his experiences and findings made eating healthier seem fun, especially when Claire was on screen with him, the world is a darker place without him x

Miriam Fitzgerald

Michael changed my life with his sensible, scientific approach to weight loss that was grounded in the reality of the human condition. I love that he admitted to craving chocolate and shared his strategies. I did the blood sugar diet in 2016 and lost 20kg which prevented me from moving on from pre-diabetes. I am so sorry at his loss, for his family and friends but for humanity too. He had so much more to contribute I am certain.

Jan

Still so very sad to think that we won't see Michael again and I can't bear to listen to his last few podcasts. I am glad though that his family can see how much he was loved by so many who felt he was a trusted friend. How proud they must feel. RIP Michael and sending my condolences to his family for the loss of this wonderful man x

Monica

I was deeply shocked and saddened by the untimely death of Dr. Mosley. I was actually watching an earlier broadcast of his and DFr. Clare from Sydney Australia when the news broke.
Reading Dr. Moseley's many books, including his latest, Just One Thing, it is easy to see just what an impact he had on so very many of us. Thank you Dr. Mosley for your unwavering curiosity, your clear eyed and personal experiments, we owe you a huge debt, our health is better and your legacy will live on as we share your lessons.
My deepest sympathy to your family, colleagues and friends.

Thank you Dr Mosley for showing what it means to be an outstanding communicator using facts and science to improve the way we live our lives. I was so incredibly saddened by Dr Mosley’s tragic death and sending my deepest condolences to his wife and family. What amazing grace you have shown in the face of such sadness.

Sharon

I loved watching Michael on TV, I have bought lots of his books. I cook his recipe's often, in fact I had one last night. I was and am so sad that Michael is no longer with us. I will miss his voice and miss seeing him.

Sending lots of love to his family & friends

I continue to feel overwhelming grief for the tragic and untimely loss of Michael Mosley. Like so many around the world, he had a profound impact on my life. Having studied and tried so many approaches to health, diet, nutrition and weight loss over many years, it is hard to describe the relief and support I felt when I discovered Michael's sound, sustainable and simple approach that finally brought me results - and with that, a new sense of agency and empowerment. His contribution to our collective understanding about how to live a healthy human life, is utterly immeasurable. His trademark humility in delivering it, is inspiring. And his terrible death in such unexpected circumstances, will be an unimaginable pain to all those that loved him, near and far. Thank you Michael for your incredible drive to make sense of the complexity of human health and to bring it to us in bite sized pieces we could finally digest. I miss you.

Elle

You touched so many lives and mine is no exception.
Followed you for over 10 years in evertyhing that you did, an inspiration to all.
Your death was akin to losing a member of my own family,surreal I know and I never expected for me to feel like that.
I wish your family all the best for the future, as I know with them goes your legacy.
I am speaking as if you are still here and thats how I feel, one is never gone until the last person utters your name,

Michael

Thank you for your wisdom and engaging style. Each time I stand on one leg, I will remember you.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of MIchael Mosley's death. I have been inspired by both his television shows and the Fast diets, and am currently participating in the Fast 800 diet.

My most sincere condolences to his family, colleagues and close friends. Such a tragic loss, when he had so much to do and that he could offer so many people. He has left is a wonderful legacy of numerous tools and encouragement to help people achieve better health.

Karen G

There are not enough superlatives to cover such a wonderful human. I wish only god things for his lovely family.

Monica Ingoe

I started following Michael Mosley after hearing him interviewed on the ABC. I have several of his and Clare’s books and am currently a member of the Fast 800. Though I never met Michael or Clare, they have changed our lives considerably. My husband and I lost weight and have kept it off over the last few years. We eat better, our weight is lower, we cook together and we do all our grocery shopping together. Meal times are a shared responsibility- which is great. Before that I felt like that was my job alone - and it was a big responsibility. Now it’s all shared and better enjoyed too, on both sides.

I was saddened to hear of Michael’s death. He and Clare’s videos were so personal on the fast800 website, I feel as though I know them personally.

I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks and my love and support to Michael’s family. I imagine you will all be missing him terrribly. What a legacy he has left. I’m sure you are all so very proud of his achievements.

He has made an impact on not just peoples diets but their understanding of so many other health, wellness and fitness related issues that will span generations. He was smart, engaging, open and caring.
A brief meeting in Adelaide food market was so special to me. He was just as engaging and personable as I thought he would be.
My heart goes out to Claire and the children. I feel like I know them.
It was wonderful the world got to know and learn from you both.

Dear Claire and family

There are no words for how you must all be feeling after losing your amazing husband/father. I know a little of what you are going through as I lost my partner 4 years ago following nearly 3 yrs of suffering with pulmonary fibrosis. I feel grateful that I had the chance to say goodbye in his last few moments of life, something that was cruelly taken away from you. People used to say to me that time is a great healer….at the time I didn’t believe them but now I know that is true. Life does go on, but you never forget everything about the person you have lost. He will stay in your hearts forever ❤️, please take comfort in that. He will be looking down on you all and be proud of how you are coping and how are you keeping his memory alive.
I watched many of Michael’s tv programmes, read his books and listened to his podcasts. An amazing man who has touched so many lives.
Thinking of you all at this sad time
Love

Michael was a great man who helped many people with their health issues

I first heard about Dr. Mosley from my son, who was very interested in fasting…and bread baking!! We watched him, read his books, and told everyone about his methods. He was inspirational and well, just wonderful to read and watch.
My son, sadly, is gone now, as well. He had the same type of personality, I think, as Dr. Mosley; kind, loving and deeply interested in helping people. I like to think they’ve met somewhere, and are having a conversation about fasting and health. Possibly bread.
That makes me happy.
My best to Dr. Mosley’s family. Rest assured, he is away from you, but is living on through the work he did and all he accomplished during his time here.
Sending love.

Michael was an inspiration in his kind and sympathetic manner of giving information, inspiration and help with health and dietary issues.
I loved listening to his common sense attitudes to losing weight.
His death should not have happened, it is the saddest loss to his family, friends and audience.

Sue Chesterman

There is so much to admire about Michael Mosely, the hugely informative and accessible TV programs; the successful diets and health guides and his infectious enthusiasm and attention to detail - where can I end this? Needless to say we have lost a friend and trusted advisor and the best we can do is to follow the advice and encourage others to do so. I am most certainly doing this to carry a vital message forward. World - are you listening? Thoughts and best wishes to Clare and the family who will miss Michael most of all.

Gordon

It feels like I've lost a member of my family. Although, I didn't ever meet him, Michael always seemed approachable, he was able to demystify complex ideas with great energy and passion. A brilliant communicator who cared about other humans. What a loss. Sending condolences to his wife and children. He changed people's lives.
