Dr Michael Mosley has shared two simple exercises which can help you lose weight. The health guru, who created the 5:2 diet, has been helping people lose weight for years and his methods have proved increasingly popular – winning him multiple awards in the process.
A regular guest on ITV's This Morning, he recently appeared on the daytime show to discuss the importance of exercise in losing weight. Explaining to viewers how to shed belly fat without losing muscle, the doctor explained that combining exercise with a healthy diet was the best way to go, NorthWalesLive reports.

One of the things you want to do, and this is the importance of protein – you need at least 50g of good-quality protein a day. That preserves your muscle.
