Britons looking to lose weight could benefit from walking more after every meal, according to a doctor.
This simple movement can help Britons to burn more calories and reduce the overall fat in their body.
While it is impossible to spot reduce fat, getting more steps in will put you in good stead if trying to burn fat from parts of the body, such as belly fat.
Doctor and author Dr Suzanne J. Ferree shared the best exercise tips for fat-burning and told slimmers to "get out there and move. Walk for 20 minutes after every meal".

Walking is a low-intensity exercise that can be added in throughout the day to help dieters burn more calories.
In fact, walking at a brisk pace for 60 minutes more a day can torch around 300 extra calories and contribute to weight loss.
Dr Ferree added a good workout plan is also important for long-lasting weight loss results, and combining weight training with high-intensity cardio moves could be the best way to do this - especially in those aged 40 or older.
She added: "Weight training, especially over the age of 40, [should be done] for one hour three days per week, ideally with a trainer - at least at first to ensure good form and intensity for optimal training."
Weight training can be paired with quick sessions of HIIT (high intensity interval training) to burn extra calories and get the heart rate up.
Dr Ferree told GB News: "Do HIIT training for 15 minutes five days per week. This is 45 seconds of an exercise with a 15 second rest at as high an intensity as you can safely tolerate.
"This might include burpees, battle ropes, jump squats, running in place with high knees, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, rowing machine, treadmill or bike.
"[This should] all be done under the supervision of a trained professional and after medical clearance by your medical provider and with gradually increasing intensity as tolerated."
Eating well will contribute to speedy weight loss and an expert shared a full diet plan that involves eating "three times" more carbohydrates when trying to slim.

They suggested doing this for two days of the week and following a low-carb diet plan on the other days.
Sports and exercise science specialist Rowan Cooke explained: “If you are eating a calorie deficit and exercising several times per week but not losing any weight, this could be because your metabolism isn’t functioning correctly.
“Carb cycling essentially works by allowing your body to burn fat instead of carbs and muscle tissues. The process involves going back and forth between high-carb days and low-carb days.
“Apart from being able to eat whichever pizza or pasta you like, you only have to do two 15-minute HIIT sessions per week. Wave goodbye to spending hours on the treadmill.”
