"Dr Michael Mosley's Secrets to Burning Belly Fat, Boosting Weight Loss, and Reversing the Clock"

Michael Mosley, creator of the Fast 800 diet, suggests that weight training is more effective than cardio at burning belly fat. He recommends incorporating resistance exercises into your routine to improve muscle mass, preserve health as you age, and reduce the risk of pre-diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Mosley emphasizes that resistance exercise can have a positive effect on blood sugar levels and rejuvenate the body at a cellular level. While he personally dislikes going to the gym, he does daily press-ups and squats and uses weights in his garage. Research shows that muscle mass and strength can increase significantly in just 12 weeks, and resistance training is especially beneficial for brain health, including memory and problem-solving.
