Impacts from Ultra-Processed Foods

A researcher went off Ultra-Processed Foods (ice cream, donuts, chips, pizza, etc.) for a month, and replaced them with whole and minimally processed foods (fresh fruits, whole grains, etc.). The experiment led to surprising and transformative results, which also convinced the author's skeptical husband to adopt the diet.

• Within ten days, the author noticed her constant thoughts about food and cravings disappeared.

• The daughter, who was a picky eater, began eating homemade meals with gusto.

• The article cites studies that support these findings, showing that reducing UPFs can decrease cravings and improve mental health.

• The family developed new strategies to maintain their low-UPF lifestyle, such as making their home a UPF-free "context-setter" and learning to cook more meals at home.

• The author concludes that removing UPFs not only improved their eating habits and mental well-being but also made them appreciate the taste of whole foods more.
