During a recent TV appearance on ITV's This Morning, the 5:2 diet creator spoke about the importance of combining diet and exercise.

He shared two important resistance exercises you can do first thing in the morning. He said: "I don’t think exercise alone is going to help you lose weight but it improves your mood if nothing else.

The data suggests if you combine it [diet] with exercise that’s a great way [to lose weight].“And one of the things you want to do, and this is the importance of protein - you need at least 50g of good quality protein a day - that preserves your muscle."The things you want to do when you lose weight is lose fat and not lose muscle and that was the danger of going on a really low calorie, low protein diet - tea, juicing - is that your body needs protein and if it’s not getting it from your diet, it’s getting it from your muscles."Dr Mosley said two key exercises to help with weight loss goals are "press ups and squats".
