Eating this food for breakfast is the key to losing weight fast

 British weight loss expert Dr. Michael Moseley shared his advice to those who want to lose weight "quickly".

He suggests following a crash diet that includes just 800 calories a day, with eggs for breakfast.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Dr. Moseley explained:

"This is a phased process – the first phase is rapid weight loss with 800 calories a day. Follow the diet for at least two to three weeks, and some people continue to follow it for up to 12 weeks.

Moseley addressed the studies that support his diet plan:

"A study in northern England of a diet involving eating 800 calories a day for up to 12 weeks showed an average weight loss of around 14kg. ”There was another study done by Oxford and they lost 10 pounds in a year."

The expert explained that one food is the best choice for losing weight:

"I eat eggs and asparagus for breakfast – the book has lots of recipes but I'm a big fan of eggs, eggs will fill you up."

"You can eat scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, whatever you want. Sometimes I eat eggs with ham or salmon. I'm afraid there's no toast, but that's why there's plenty of tea and coffee, plenty of fluids. I appeal to everyone on a low-calorie diet to drink plenty of fluids – because you can dehydrate," he explained.

While eggs for breakfast help you lose weight, the doctor warned that people watching their weight should be careful about what meat they eat, with a particular emphasis on processed meat which should be consumed in moderation.
