The dietary plan proven to 'kickstart' your weight loss - Dr Amir issues important advice
There is a dizzying array of dietary plans out that can aid weight loss and it can be hard to know where to start. If you want to “kickstart” weight loss, calorie restricted diets can help, advised Dr Amir Khan on Channel 5’s Lose a Stone in 4 weeks for summer. The fast 800 diet is one of the most effective calorie restricted diets if you want to lose weight quickly, he explained.
The Fast 800 diet – pioneered by Dr Michael Mosley – turbocharges weight loss by restricing calorie-count to 800 calories a day for the first couple of weeks.
“This puts your body into a ketogenic state that should help you to lose weight,” explained Dr Amir.
You then progress to 5:2 stage – where you’re only required to eat this number of calories for two days a week, while adhering to a sensible diet on the other five days.
The dietary plan involves sticking to a low-carbohydrate Mediterranean-style diet.
