Dr Michael Mosley explains the very best time to exercise after eating
Dr Michael Mosley has given the very best time to exercise after eating for weight loss.
The health expert, who regularly gives advice on TV programmes such as This Morning and on his BBC podcast, says you should eat all your meals within a 12 hour period. The doctor listed the small changes which can have a "profound effect on your health." He suggested eating breakfast later and having dinner earlier.
Dr Mosley highlighted the benefits of doing this based on his book 'Just One Thing'. BristolLive reported he said: "If you want to lose a bit of weight and improve your metabolic health, change your meal times. That means having breakfast a bit later and your evening meal a bit earlier. It's also known as time-restricted eating and I would recommend you start by trying to eat all your meals within a 12-hour window."
In one episode of his show, first aired in 2021, he lays out an eating plan by eating dinner at 7pm and only having black coffee or water for the rest of the night, up until 9.30am the next morning. Several studies have linked time-restrictive eating with weight loss. In 2021, a Nutrition & Diabetes study comprising of 30 males and females with obesity followed an eight-week time-restrictive eating program. Results showed weight loss of approximately 24 pounds on average, compared with about 20 pounds in the 30 people not following the program.
The Journal of Translational Medicine study also revealed that time-restrictive eating can help metabolic syndrome and heart disease. In another study in 2022, researchers found that time-restrictive eating made small positive changes to the makeup bacteria in the gut.

A 2022 review in The Journal of Physiology, meanwhile, discovered that time-restrictive eating can aid with the management of type 2 diabetes, including better blood sugar management.
Anyone making changes to their diet or eating plan should always talk to your doctor first before making any changes. Time-restrictive eating is usually only recommended for people who are overweight, obese, are at risk of heart disease or have type 2 diabetes.
The Mirror reported earlier how the TV doctor claimed eating breakfast had no effect on weight loss He cited a 2014 study including 283 overweight participants that tracked whether eating breakfast or skipping the meal had an effect on weight loss over a 16-week period.
It found that those who consumed a daily breakfast lost an average of 0.76kgs - whilst those who skipped breakfast lost a very similar amount of 0.71kgs. Researchers concluded: "Contrary to widely espoused views this had no discernible effect on weight loss in free-living adults who were attempting to lose weight."
The British Dietetic Association, however, argued that skipping breakfast won't help you lose weight. A spokesman said: "You could miss out on essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry."
