Dr Michael Mosley often shares his weight loss tips with slimmers online as well as on television. He is the creator of The Fast 800 – a diet plan that helps people lose weight quickly.

“Fortunately, recent breakthroughs in medical and sports science have shown that it is possible to throw this gradient into reverse: you can lose belly fat, and you can lose it fast.”

The best way to get rid of this fat is to cut certain foods from your diet, Dr Mosley stressed.

He said: “To make a serious impact on your belly fat, cutting out sugar-spikes is key.

“A surprising number of ‘diet’ snacks and drinks are high in sugar and are marketed as diet foods because they happen to be low in fat.

“This includes sweet fruits like mango and pineapple, and sugary smoothies and juices.

“Likewise, replace processed carbs like white bread, chips and pasta with slow-release energy sources, such as brown rice or quinoa.”

Wholegrains are a healthy option for people who want to slim down in general – Dr Mosley has previously spoken about their benefits as part of the Mediterranean diet, which the doctor has recommended people eat if following The Fast 800 diet.

Other ingredients include plenty of vegetables, fruits, lentils, nuts, seeds, and fish.
