Michael Mosley: Speed up weight loss and lose 5lb in one week – diet plan

Intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating

People limit their intake of foods and calorie-containing beverages to a set window of around eight hours per day.

This is a popular method that has been proven to work for some people.

Make carb swaps

Ditch:

Simple carbs – like juices, fruit, sugar and sweet things are broken into glucose quickly and cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels

Starchy carbs – found in potatoes, rice, wheat, bread, corn – similarly to simple, cause a rapid rise in blood sugars

And opt for:

Complex carbs – found in vegetables, take longer to digest meaning there’s a more gradual rise in blood sugars

Fibre – a form of complex carbs that is non-digestible, it feeds the gut microbiome and supports healthy digestive function
