Michael Mosely shares new weight loss technique that's perfect for busy lifestyles

Michael Mosely has shared another of his top weight loss tips.

The TV doctor has created numerous diet plans including the Very Fast 800 diet and the new 5:2 diet, which help people shed pounds without having to obsess over what they eat. Dr Mosely believes that weight loss has to be manageable in order for it to be sustainable, meaning it has to work alongside a person’s busy routine.

Moseley specialises in finding ways to drop weight healthily without derailing your routine and without upending your habits, which could kill your motivation, reports the Express .

He explains that those who don’t have the time for a proper workout could find themselves becoming demotivated and, in turn, lead to weight gain. He recommends his new trick, which he calls “exercise snacking”, and insists it can help those with busy work and life schedules. He says the method is ideal for those who struggle to fit a full workout into their everyday lives.

Speaking on his podcast Just One Thing, he revealed that doing multiple short bursts of exercise during the day is more effective than trying to fit it all into a full workout.

He explained: "Doing exercise in short chunks really can help you burn more calories, lose more weight, and help improve your blood glucose and blood pressure to a greater degree than doing it in larger chunks."

"Stairs are a particularly good way of getting in a few exercise snacks," he added.

"The surprising thing about exercise snacking is that although each session is short, it gives you the same – possibly even greater – fitness and health benefits than doing a full 30-minute workout."

Dr Mosley revealed this simple weight loss hack "can really help" people wanting to shed some poundage, if paired with other lifestyle changes, such as following a rapid weight loss method.
