Cutting carbs can be harder than people think, but Dr Michael Mosley has a practical solution: three delicious alternatives that will help you lose weight faster. While his Fast 800 diet plan offers a quick weightloss approach, has recognized that dieting is not easy.
While people will lose weight quickly and be “less likely” to be plagued by hunger and cravings, switching from a high-carb diet to a low-carb diet is sure to have an impact on slimmers.
But Dr. Mosley noted that once a person has dedicated himself to losing weight, “they have to make that commitment.”
This means staying away from sugary desserts and eating “much less” food than they’re used to.
But it revealed that there is something positive. He said: “The good news is that I have used the latest scientific thinking about appetite and fat metabolism.”
Its new formula is based on eating more protein and less carbohydrates, which means that the pounds that are lost will be stubborn and difficult to change fat and not muscle.

He explained that carbohydrates come in three forms in the average diet: sugars, starchy foods and fruits.
He said: “To achieve ketosis, you need to stop feeding your body sugar or carbohydrates that easily raise your blood sugar.
“So for the first phase of the diet, high-carbohydrate bread, cereals, cakes, cookies, pasta and potatoes are off the table and out of the house. Even a cookie or a small bar of chocolate might be enough to push your body into ketosis,” he warned.
The diet guru also recommended, in the initial stage of rapid weight loss, to avoid starchy vegetables and most fruits except berries.
