Michael Mosley on the success of rapid weight loss diets - 'I was gobsmacked!'
weight loss diets have long been marred with controversy and branded unhealthy, much like crash dieting to shift as much body weight as possible in a short space of time. But Dr Michael Mosley revealed that numerous studies have in fact proven the opposite and explained that if people do it "safely and properly" then they are "much more likely to succeed" than if they followed slower diets. He referenced research conducted by weight loss specialist Professor Susan Jebb from Oxford University, who found rapid weight loss is the better option.
