Dr Michael Mosley is the man behind a variety of diets: The Fast 800, 5:2, The Way of Life and his most recent diet – The Fast 800 Keto. With decades of knowledge when it comes to weight loss, there are a couple of foods he advises cutting out if you’re looking for quick results. One of which is the common fruit, the banana, which most households consume almost every day.
The NHS recommends that the average adult consume five servings of different fruits and vegetables a day.
However, some experts say that eating seven or more servings is healthier.
Either way, fruits and especially vegetables provide the body with many essential nutrients.
But according to Dr. Michael, there are some fruits you should eat less of and some vegetables you should eat more of if you want to lose weight.

To add to this, there are some more generic foods that should be avoided when dieting.
The diet expert said: “Anything you can buy at a gas station that are ultra-processed foods and convenience items that we all know are bad for us but still eat in staggering amounts.
“If it’s heavily marketed, in shiny packaging and full of fat, sugar and salt, it’s likely to affect our health and mood, and not for the better.”
She added: “To avoid temptation, don’t bring the usual suspects home (cookies, chips, and anything made with cheap factory ingredients), or if they’re already lurking in the pantry, throw them in the trash.
“Instead, stock the fridge with fresh, whole ingredients and stock the pantry and freezer with canned and frozen fish, vegetables and legumes.
“Meal replacement shakes also have their place in moderation if you’re particularly busy or travel frequently.”
In terms of snacks, most people would reach for a piece of fruit.
But following Dr. Michael’s advice regarding sugary fruits, he suggests opting for nuts or salt-free vegetables.
“If you want to lose weight and keep it off, then it’s going to take a certain amount of commitment,” he said.
“But you don’t have to suffer. Good food should be a pleasure, and it’s about rediscovering those pleasures.”
At the most basic level, says Dr. Michael, losing weight and pursuing better health is about enjoying food and enjoying life.
“What you eat has a profound effect on your mental health and therefore your energy levels,” he added.
“Once you’ve started the virtuous circle, all other things become much easier.”
