Simple breakfast to lose weight quickly recommended by diet guru Michael Mosley

An easy change to your breakfast could make a massive difference to your weight loss.

The advice comes from weight loss guru Dr Michael Mosley - one of the UK's most trusted faces when it comes to sustainable weight loss. Many have turned to him for dieting advice after he released multiple books on the topic such as Fast 800 Keto.

The Fast 800 Keto diet recommends 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.

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, reported Coventry Live.

Dr Mosley's recommended breakfast

Writing on his website, Mosley revealed 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)."
