Diet expert Dr Michael Mosley has suggested the best foods to eat more of if you want to lose weight quickly. The television doctor, who founded the 5:2 diet, has created a short-term diet called the Fast 800 Diet that claims to boost rapid weight loss.
But there is a warning to check with health professionals before trying it out. The diet involves eating 800 calories a day in the form of foods that are consumed within a low-carb Mediterranean diet in order to feel full.
He also says that foods that are rich in protein, as well as being high in fibre and healthy fats, should be used as a "kick-start to improve metabolic health" until a healthy weight is achieved - or for up to 12 weeks.
