Dr Michael Mosley has revealed how people can speed up fat burning and it involves avoiding three food groups in order to slim down. Speaking on ITV’s This Morning, he explained that simply cutting calories is “not always the best method” for consistent weight loss.
Instead, Dr Mosley revealed how avoiding sugar, starchy carbohydrates, and processed meat can transform the body’s metabolism and put it into fat-burning mode.
He said: “Cut right down on sugar, sugary treats, drinks and desserts.
“That includes most breakfast cereals, which are usually full of sugar, as well as most commercial smoothies.”
Consuming too much sugar increases the risk of heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and inflammation.

“Pretty well anything that says ‘instant’– i.e. instant noodles, soups and desserts,” his Fast 800 Diet website states.
He said that these foods are “designed to set off the reward circuits in our brains so once we start eating them we find it really hard to stop”.
