The weight loss guru is well respected as one of the country's most trustworthy faces for sustainable body and health transformations.
He has written best selling books, including Fast 800 Keto, and many diets looking to shed extra pounds will be following the expert's advice.

In his latest diet advice, he takes readers through his Fast 800 Keto diet, recommending following the rule of 50:50 - keeping carbohydrates under 50g per day and ensuring protein remains above 50g. It is designed to put your body into ketosis, meaning it begins to convert your fat stores into fuel rather than using carbohydrates, reports Coventry Live.
Reducing the amount of carbohydrates you eat, while increasing protein, fruit, vegetables, beans and wholegrains, are key pillars of losing weight according to Dr Mosley. What you eat matters and the old adage that breakfast is the more most important meal of the day still stands.
Dr Mosley's recommended breakfast
Writing on his website, Mosley revealed that eating eggs in the morning can be a great building block for losing weight and that a mushroom omelette is one of his own "go-to breakfasts". He wrote: "Boiled, poached, scrambled or as an omelette - they'll keep you feeling fuller for longer compared to cereal or toast."
The TV doctor and author went on to explain that eggs are high in protein, multiple vitamins and will not increase your cholesterol if paired with something sensible. In a video for Healthista TV, Dr Mosley chose a mushroom omelette, with onions and spinach which can be flavoured with the likes of garlic, turmeric and chili flakes for breakfast.
On changing our approach to breakfast and maximising your weight loss potential, Dr Mosley wrote in the Daily Mail last year: "When you get up in the morning, you may be in a rush to tuck into your breakfast and get out of the door. Or you may be happy to hold off eating for a while (a lot of people find they don't get hungry until later in the day).
"One reason why you might want to delay breakfast if you're not ravenous is that, by doing so, you will be extending your overnight fast (i.e. how long it has been since your last meal)."
