TV medic Dr Michael Mosley has advised Brits to eat dinner before 8pm in order to effectively lose weight because the meal "hangs around in your system".
The 65-year-old broadcaster, who has published books, presented documentaries and authored papers on sustainable dieting, endorses the old adage of eating breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.
The doctor said: "Try and stop eating by 8pm and then not eat anything with calories after that."
