The expert recommended swapping starchy carbs and sugary treats for healthy, whole foods.
Eating too much sugar can contribute to weight gain and the expert suggested cutting this altogether.
This isn't just chocolate bars, pastries and cakes, however.
He explained breakfast cereals and commercial smoothies can be packed with lots of extra sugar.
Dr Mosley said: "That includes most breakfast cereals, which are usually full of sugar, as well as most commercial smoothies."
Starchy carbs are also often packed full of sugar, so ditching these could do wonders for the waistline.
Dr Mosley suggested cutting white bread, pasta, potatoes and white rice.
Instead, slimmers can choose healthier carbs like whole rye, wild rice and whole grains.
