Dr Michael Mosley shares key tip to lose belly fat fast.
Dr Michael Mosley often shares his weight loss tips with slimmers online as well as on television. He is the creator of The Fast 800 – a diet plan that helps people lose weight quickly.
People lose weight for different reasons, targeting different areas of the body.
It can be difficult to know which diet or exercise regime is best for a specific part of the body, but luckily, Dr Mosley has shared what to do if you want to lose belly fat.
This is a popular area of the body to lose as it is easy to gain weight around your middle – due to eating the wrong foods or a lack of exercise.
He continued: “As if this were not bad enough, fat cells deep in your abdomen – also known as ‘visceral fat’ – are reluctant to let go of their energy-stash.
“To find the extra energy needed to fuel a small energy deficit, or a standard gym session, your body will look to other reserves first, like your glutes.
“Fortunately, recent breakthroughs in medical and sports science have shown that it is possible to throw this gradient into reverse: you can lose belly fat, and you can lose it fast.”
Dr Mosley added that belly fat is “the most important fat to target”.

To make a “serious impact on your belly fat”, Dr Mosley said: “Cutting out sugar-spikes is key.
“A surprising number of ‘diet’ snacks and drinks are high in sugar and are marketed as diet foods because they happen to be low in fat.”
The nutritionist went on to say how this is supported by numerous studied.
He explained: “When people cut carbs, their appetite goes down and they lose weight.
“Over 20 randomised controlled studies have now shown that lower-carb diets can lead to two to three times more weight loss than low-fat diets.”
Dr Mosley recommended limiting your intake of any food or drink containing more than five percent sugar to “no more than twice a week”.
He continued: “This includes sweet fruits like mango and pineapple, and sugary smoothies and juices.
“Likewise, replace processed carbs like white bread, chips, and pasta with slow-release energy sources, such as brown rice or quinoa.”
Incorporating the Mediterranean diet to your routine can also be a good idea.
Dr Mosley said: “The types of foods you should be looking to incorporate into your diet are a good balance of protein, fibre and healthy fats – which is essentially the Mediterranean diet.

“The good news is, whether you incorporate intermittent fasting or not, a low carb Mediterranean diet has a unique power, not just to restore your body’s ability to reach its ideal weight and stay there, but also to cut your risk of serious disease.
“It doesn’t come from a place of restriction, but rather it’s about eating more of the right foods.
“Not only will these foods keep you feeling full, but they also offer important nutrients and health benefits, and taste delicious.”
Some foods included in the diet are fresh vegetables, fatty fish, dairy products, wholegrains, lentils, and nuts.
