Dr Michael Mosley's diet methods have helped thousands of people achieve their goals and his advice is endless when it comes to shedding pounds. His latest technique, the Fast 800 Keto diet, has taken elements from his other rapid weight-loss strategies to ensure followers continue to burn body fat efficiently and effectively.

He said: "The Fast 800 plan has been phenomenally successful.

"More than 40,000 people have completed the online programme with an average weight loss — among those who started off significantly overweight — of 1st 5lb (8.7kg) after one year.

"It is now seen by many, particularly among the medical profession, as an excellent way to lose weight and improve your health, including helping those at risk of type 2 diabetes improve their blood sugar levels."

To put it to the test, he even tried it himself and in just 12 days he lost an incredible amount of weight.

"I dropped 9lb (4kg) and lost 4cm of belly fat — my belt went in a notch but, more importantly, my blood pressure and blood sugars dropped, too," he beamed.

"Happily, now at 64, I'm back at my healthiest fighting weight and feeling great.

"And I am convinced my new Fast 800 Keto plan is even easier to stick to, more effective, and perfectly suited for long-term weight maintenance."

While the thought of eating only 800 calories a day might seem daunting, Dr Mosley shared his daily diet which added up to 844 calories of delicious and filling healthy food.

Two 120g thick, skinless white fish fillets (cod or haddock)

Mix the yoghurt, vanilla and honey together in a bowl.

Divide the yoghurt mixture and raspberries between two small bowls. Gently stir the raspberries through the yoghurt, creating a marbled effect, to serve.

Dr Molsey suggested grating 10g of 70 percent cocoa solids chocolate on top for "added decadence".

"Frozen raspberries are slightly better than fresh for this purpose as they release juice when they defrost," he added.
