Dr Michael Mosley often shares his weight loss tips with slimmers online as well as on television. He is the creator of The Fast 800 a diet plan that helps people lose weight quickly.
The whole idea of The Fast 800 diet is to lose weight fast, and Dr Mosley wants slimmers to know why contrary to popular belief this is the most effective way to shed the pounds.
The doctor said: There is a widespread belief that if you lose weight fast then you will put it on even faster.
But is it true?
In a recent review article titled Myths, Presumptions and Facts about Obesity in the prestigious medical journal, The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers put this claim firmly into the myths category.

There was a very high drop-out rate among the steady dieters: less than half made it to the end of the 36 weeks.
Most said they gave up because they were frustrated by the slow rate of progress.
By comparison, more than 80 percent of those in the rapid weight loss programme stuck to it.
They were then followed for three years. Although both groups put some weight back on, the amounts were similar.
Dr Mosley added that Katrina Purcell, a dietician who led the study, said: our results show that achieving a weight loss target is more likely, and drop-out is lower, if losing weight is done quickly.
However, the nutrition expert warned that rapid weight loss isnt suitable for everyone and if you do decide to lose weight fast you have to make sure you have the right balance of nutrients in your diet.
So, how can slimmers begin to lose weight fast?
According to Dr Mosley, following The Fast 800 diet is a good place to start.
He said the diet provides you with all of the tools you will need to start changing your lifestyle for the better.
Once youve entered your goals, you will receive meal plans, recipes, shopping lists, exercises and mindful exercises to help you achieve your objective, the doctor went on to explain.
In terms of the types of foods you should be looking to incorporate into your diet is a good balance of protein, fibre and healthy fats which is essentially the Mediterranean diet.
The good news is, whether you incorporate intermittent fasting or not, a low carb Mediterranean diet has unique power not just to restore your bodys ability to reach its ideal weight and stay there, but also to cut your risk of serious disease.
It doesnt come from a place of restriction but rather its about eating more of the right foods.
Dr Mosley added: Not only will these foods keep you feeling full, but they also offer important nutrients and health benefits, and taste delicious.
