A weight-loss expert has revealed how you can get rid of unwanted belly fat and the fastest way to do it.
Dr Mosley, creator of The Fast 800, has shared his tips to lose the stubborn fat that many people carry.
He said the secret to reducing belly fat is understanding how it works.
Dr Mosley told express.co.uk: "To understand belly fat, you need to understand the basics of how insulin works," the doctor continued.
"Your body makes insulin after a meal in order to keep blood sugar stable.
"On your cell walls, insulin opens up glucose ports to allow sugar through – for burning in muscle and for storage in fat. In your fat, insulin also curbs the release of fatty acids into your system.
"All well and good – as long as your insulin is working. However, as we age, cell-wall insulin receptors become less sensitive.
"As a result, even after a meal, our blood is replete with glucose and fatty acids.
"This is a toxic brew, driving an array of bad outcomes, including rapidly-expanding belly fat."
To lose the fat, Dr Mosley recommended eating foods low in sugar and eating more simple carbohydrates.
He said to get rid of the fat as quickly as possible, it is important to cut out sugar spikes.
He said: "A surprising number of 'diet' snacks and drinks are high in sugar, and are marketed as diet foods because they happen to be low in fat."
Another top tip Dr Mosley recommended was limiting the intake of food and drink with more than five per cent sugar to no more than twice a week.
This also includes fruit such as mango, pineapple, smoothies and juices.
Replacing processed carbs like white bread, chips and pasta with brown rice and quinoa is also a great way to reduce fat.
Dr Mosley then recommended intermittent fasting.
He said: "Short-term fasting can lead to several changes in the body that make fat burning easier.
"This includes reduced insulin, increased growth hormone, enhanced epinephrine signalling and a small boost in metabolism."
High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT is also proven to reduce fat, and they only take a few minutes.
He said: "Exercise is key for various reasons. It is amongst the best things you can do for a long and healthy life.
"While exercise alone will not help you lose the stubborn fat from round your middle, it can be crucial for helping reduce the risk of re-gaining fats well as lowering blood sugar levels and improving insulin sensitivity."
