Michael Mosley has revealed he gained nearly half a stone in two weeks and was left feeling "rotten" when he ate nothing but junk food.
The diet guru, famed for his 5:2 and Fast 800 eating plans spoke about how he went on an ultra-processed food (UPFs) diet for two weeks to see what impact it has on the body. He was discussing the extremely high levels of consumption the UK has with UPFs on his Just One Thing podcast alongside epidemiologist, Professor Tim Spector.
