Expert Dr Michael Mosley told dieters the best snack to grab when they have a sweet craving. The founder of the 5:2 diet shared the snack he often goes to when he's craving some chocolate.
During his BBC Sounds podcast, the nutrition guru said he often reaches for nuts as a great way to fight any unhealthy cravings during the day. He said: "I am craving some chocolate or perhaps a biscuit, but instead I am going for a protein-packed snack that can protect my heart, may stave off cancer, and give my brain a boost."
According to the Daily Record, the doctor went on to say that nuts often get "bad press" due to their high-fat content as well as causing life-threatening allergies for some. However, Dr Mosley said: "But if, like me, you are able to eat nuts, this is definitely one thing you should start doing today."
