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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I’m so sad of the passing of Michael. Michael has inspired me for a long time and love all of his experience he shared with us to be the best versions of ourselves. I’ve loved all of his TV programmes and inspiring case studies. Hearing of Michaels passing brought me to my knees and so deeply saddened. Please carry-on his work.

You were a constant inspiration for several years and particularly because of the way you so enthusiastically shared your findings and results of genuine research. You were a trusted source of information and we knew we were in safe hands with your shared knowledge. You were a wonderful human being but I didn't know you! I just knew you were wonderful and I'm sure your lovely family is missing you so dreadfully. We all are Michael. Rest in peace.

Micheal I can't thank you enough. You changed my life. I'd been battling with the NHS for 40 years trying to get help for my chronic insomnia, untreated early menopause (33years old), PTSD (21years old) and related bouts of depression and anxiety. Then you appeared and made me see that I wasn't alone/mad/a pain. You empowered me, and gave me the tools to turn my life around. And I did. You were amazing/unique. Thank you so verymuch, Daniela x

I'm still feeling very sad about the loss of Dr
Michael Mosley.
He transformed the lives of millions, and did it in the kindest, smartest way possible. I do about 5 things a day because of him.
He knew that for people to adopt changes they had to be simple, fast and easy so he made it so.
There are people everywhere brushing their teeth to stave off dementia, walking in the rain to improve their mood and singing more to prevent depression and that's just the start. Many feel they are safer and stronger because of you.
Thank you for everything Michael.

Compassionate and caring man who helped everyone and gave them simple insight how to live more healthy lives. His methods were & remain clear with no Scientific complicated ‘clap trap’. Generous over his lifetime to others. Fine example of a happily married and family life. They don’t come along often with such ability.

Michael and Clare have really inspired me and helped me to lower my blood sugar levels through their books, and through Michael's broadcasts. Their books are always next to me in the kitchen, I use them every day to cook their recipes and follow their advice on healthier living. Through this I have managed to significantly lower my blood sugar, the recipes really do work. I am so very sad at the loss of Michael, the world is a poorer place without him.

A fitting epitaph for a great man who inspired us all to help ourselves to improve our lives, as he read out on his podcast Just One Thing about reading poetry out loud, this was one of his favourite lines from Wordsworth : "The things which I have seen, I now can see no more".
I will miss Michael's experience, his friendly and wise demeanour and exciting discoveries. What a tragic loss for his family and for all the people who listened and watched Michael's wonderful programmes. Xxx

We enjoyed your cheeky jibes, and relished the amazing scientific breakthroughs... we hung on your every word, celebrated your love of life and family.
Personally I'm cross at you the you forgot your phone, they could've found you. Wishing your family comfort and peace negotiating life without you.

Thank you Michael for being inspiring and engaging to many and myself. I can attribute my journey to a healthier diet to yourself, starting with high protein and the 5:2 diet. Although not something I follow day to day now I appreciated your continued experimentation with other methods to a healthier lifestyle that has inspired me to continue to try other things. As I say, it is a journey and a journey of a lifetime, a journey that we don't have you to accompany us with now, which is why it is so saddening to not have you with us. May your message and legacy live on with all of us.

I cannot remember exactly when I first saw a health program by dr Michael Mosley, I think it was in relation to tai chi, which I try to practise. So when the “Parakalo” newsletter came in on that fatal day, I recognised his name and was shocked to read that he went missing on Symi. I prayed he would be found in time… I am so very sad that his life ended so very close to that beach bar, and do hope he did not fully realize what was happening… My heart goes out to his family…
I cannot help thinking: if only he had stopped to have a frappe on that Pedi terrace, instead of walking by…
Our Belgian national tv channel broadcasted “Secrets of the
superagers” tonight July 9th, the episode about the Body.
I had to pause the program several times, it was heartbreaking to see Michael explain that his father died too young… May they both rest in peace, and may his wife and children find consolation in the fact that Michael touched so many lives in a positive way. “Kalo Paradeiso” dr. Michael.

Through his books and his podcasts, Michael was a friend I'd never met. Such a tragic end to his life and my heart goes out to Clare and the children. They will hopefully find comfort that his legacy will live on in people like me who are healthier because of his dedication to improve all our lives. Thank you Michael and may you be resting in peace now in the light and peace of heaven.

Michael Mosley,
I am not sure how i came to know this name. However, it was great to know him via his podcast on radio 4. It was so exciting to listen to his knowledge with the same excitement. I do follow numbers of things. which he talked about and one thing will always remind me is Nordic walk. I will always remember him whenever I get my walking poles out. Such a great soul with a great heart. He still had so much more to give to this world.
Anyway, please except my humble heart felts condolences 💐 may God almighty give strength to his family in this difficult time. He was the only one like him. 💝
