TV doctor Michael Mosley's 'exercise snacking' which is perfect for busy life

TV doctor Michael Mosley has shared another top weight loss tip which could be hugely beneficial for people with a busy work schedule. In order to help people who want to balance a healthy lifestyle with a busy job, Dr Mosley has created a number of diet plans such as the Very Fast 800 diet, which help people drop pounds without having to obsess over everything they eat.

Dr Mosley believes that weight loss has to be manageable in order for it to be sustainable, meaning it has to work alongside a person's busy routine. He specialises in finding ways to shed pounds healthily without derailing your routine and without upending your habits, which could lead to a lack of motivation, reports The Daily Record.

He explains that those who don't have the time for a proper workout session could find themselves becoming demotivated which in turn could lead to weight gain. But his trick, which he calls "exercise snacking", can help those with busy work and life schedules.

He says this method is ideal for those who struggle to fit a full workout into their everyday routine. Speaking on his podcast Just One Thing, he revealed that doing multiple short bursts of exercise during the day is more effective than trying to fit it all into a full workout.

He explained: "Doing exercise in short chunks really can help you burn more calories, lose more weight, and help improve your blood glucose and blood pressure to a greater degree than doing it in larger chunks." Stairs are a particularly good way of getting in a few exercise snacks," he added.

"The surprising thing about exercise snacking is that although each session is short, it gives you the same – possibly even greater – fitness and health benefits than doing a full 30-minute workout."

Dr Mosley revealed this simple weight loss hack "can really help" people wanting to shed some poundage, if paired with other lifestyle changes, such as following a rapid weight loss method.
