Weight loss: Expert shares the diet that will help lose belly fat fast – and keep it off

The doctor said it’s something he has seen on his own diet plan, the Fast 800 diet. 

Dubbed “the new 5:2 diet”, the Fast 800 plan is based on eating just 800 calories a day to lose weight. 

Mosley has many books on the subject, including a recipe book which Dr Clare Bailey, his wife, helped to write. 

“For safe and rapid weight loss I recommend The Fast 800 Recipe Book by Dr Clare Bailey (my wife) who does the recipes with a leading food writer,” the expert added on Twitter after appearing on This Morning.

The doctor said it’s especially important to lose belly fat, which can affect your blood pressure, blood sugar levels and more. 

He said that “rapid weight loss is becoming more accepted” as the newer studies show it can be successful long term. 

Mosley told Phillip that he hopes the pandemic might be the catalyst for people making a change to their lifestyles and deciding to get fit and well, and even commented on the health of the Prime Minister. 

He explained that it will be a priority following Boris Johnson’s experience with the virus and being at “death’s door” as an overweight man. 

The expert also urged viewers to focus on strengthening their muscles as well as losing weight with exercise, as muscle mass decreases as you age. Mosley said he can now do 100 press-ups at the age of 63, so it’s never too late to get started.
