Health expert Michael Mosley backs NHS rapid weight loss 'soup and shake' diet

Health and diet guru Michael Mosley has backed an NHS rapid weight loss 'soup and shake' plan. The diet has been so successful that it's now being expanded.

A clinical trial has proved that the 800 calories a day soup and shake diet can put people into remission from type 2 diabetes within two years. Researchers also found people were still in remission three years later, meaning they no longer needed to take medication - and had an average weight loss of around 1st 6lb (8.9kg) at the five-year point, reports CoventryLive.

It's now planned to roll out the diet to every part of the country, it's previously only been available in 21 areas of England.
