Yep. Same with sugar. Processed foods (which usually have some form of sugar added to them) and sodas taste unpalatably sweet after you've abstained from them for a few months and have adjusted to the natural flavors of real foods.
I am a 72 year old grandma who lives in Knoxville, Tn. This weekend I am finishing up the move of my 96 year old Father onto assisted living. I do yoga almost every morning, aim hard at 10 k steps a day and in general try to stay active. Thanks for all you do for us! God bless!

Sofia, Bulgaria. The dumbest argument for consuming this highly addictive junk is:consume it in MODERATION. That's like saying: you can drive a car without brakes down a very steep road, just drive slowly.
Recently, I made a 4 egg omelet, with cheese & pepperoni. I couldn't finish it. As an alcoholic, I can moderate my consumption of beer, but not hard liquor.
Weird, I’m the opposite. Give me beer or wine and I can drink that til the sun comes up, but I can hardly stand hard liquor. I just don’t like how it tastes or burns
It takes a couple months to completely break out of the foods addictiveness. But it is well worth doing so, my body and mind feel like I'm 19 again. I dont have the strange aches and pains anymore and my stomache when eating food feels normal again. Tastebuds have actually changed and I'm getting flavours out whole meats and real food that werent there before
17:17 Absolutely superb advice here. If you eat out, do not let garbage be brought to your table. Do not bring garbage into your fridge, freezer or pantry. Also identify problem foods for yourself, for example I cannot bring dairy into my home or I will overconsume it. I can admit that even _butter_ is problematic for me.
I totally transformed my body and blood work a little over 3 years ago which I have posted here before however, I am still addicted to sugar and it bothers me. So bad that I bought my wife a Home Depot job box that carpenters lock their tools in on construction sites to keep my midnight munchies from taking over since she eats them. This has worked but I should have more control and I don't. I love cookies, chocolate, Pop Tarts etc It's kind of embarrassing.
Please read the book Salt Sugar Fat. It reveals that sugar is addictive. And the food processing companies deliberately make their junk addictive as well.
The lock box is a good idea. But please, be easy on yourself. Most of us were addicted to sugar from childhood (infant formula, baby food, fruit juice, boxed cereal, pancakes, etc) and it's simply a lifelong struggle no matter how healthily you eat. There are many tricks to killing the sugar cravings (in books and on UA-cam), but they do come back until you've done without ANY sugar for up to 3 months. WARNING: supposedly healthy meats like ham and turkey and bacon may actually have sugar injected into them, so check labels. Big Food is every bit as sneaky and unethical as the Tobacco industry, so consider yourself at war with them until you're clean. Best of luck to you.
Keep up the message! On vacation currently and have been to several small town and big city grocery stores and the cereal aisles are full! It’s also very expensive!! Now maybe all of the aisles had just been stocked…. Or…. Consumers are sending a message by not buying these products anymore!
Great insight as usual Mike. I'm from northern England, avoid UPFs like they're poison. Red meat and chicken from the butcher, salads, go for as whole as possible. As has been said, it's been a while so my palate can't stand junk any more
At 7:36 time mark, the research table shows >53 % of calories comes from carbohydrate in both UPF and Non-UPF diets. Non-UPF is probably has less or no "added" sugar while UPF definitely has "added" sugar. I suspect "added" sugar" is the major culprit in this research.
Sadly none of this is rocket science and yet mainstream science seems puzzled why obesity, diabetes, cancer has skyrocketed once everyone started pushing sugar laden carbs instead of healthy fats forty years ago.
Look at the fat gain from bodybuilders whom binge eat post competition , the amount of fat they gain from all the junk food is pretty relevant to this video
I try to avoid junk food but I still crave it, however as my consumption has gone down I seem to tolerate it less and less, I'll feel a bit sick and rundown about an hour after the Dopamine hit. So in my case it is kind of self regulating, I might go an occasional junk binge but it'll be a while before I succumb again. I try to avoid snacking but I eat a lot of full fat cream in maybe a misguided attempt to go keto. I eat maybe 100g of fat per day through this alone, I haven't gained any weight, probably lost a kilo, and I was lean to begin with. And I don't particularly restrict my other eating. I've read dietary guidelines which advise against high fat because it's energy dense, and will make you fat. I certainly haven't found this to be the case.
@@dianadeejarvis7074 just beef, salt, and some nitrites. I always eat an orange after my jerky though because I heard that you can counteract the ill effects of the nitrites by having Vitamin C with it.

Yes it is100% ! I already did a 1=N experiment on my self and I am still trying to heal from that but them edible poisons are very addictive 😮🤨🤬🤬🤬 Alberta, Canada
Everything in moderation was the philosophy of Weight Watchers. They often say, you can eat anything, you just have to track the points. I guess that's how they make sure they keep their customers 😂.
I’m in San Rafael California, I never never never have soda but I had a Diet Coke the other day, it was sickly refreshing and I could taste the chemicals… now I’m detoxing from soda, lol
I had a full can of regular Coca Cola for the first time in 14 years because I was on vacation for the hell of it, and wow, I gotta say it was fabulous. I can absolutely see why it’s so addicting. I will not be drinking another one, but dang
Its rather expensive to eat organic but worth changing your habits. Once you do and start feeling great you realize that the investment in your health is priceless. I.m going to Spain next month where good food is less expensive, especially eggs 1 dozen for 1,5 euros
Keto for 3 1/2 years, maintaining a 30 lb loss.No UPF, but I can easily go overboard with nuts, especially lately salted cashews…even though they are technically a “whole food.” I try to moderate and dish out a portion, but there’s some kind of addictive behavior because I crave the satisfaction of that dipping-into-the-big-bag (thanks a lot, Costco! 🙄😵) hand to mouth binge. If I lived alone, I just wouldn’t buy them, but my son loves them & I won’t deprive him just b/c it’s hard to control myself. That carpenter’s lock box mentioned by another commenter sounds like a good idea! 🧐😅
@@SweetSassyBull Yes! I know what you mean about the natural sweetness of the unsalted cashews. I love those too. It’s the same with pecans and almonds, which also have a natural sweetness. Not so with pistachios or walnuts I think. I guess you could say I’m just nuts for nuts! 😅
I only buy junk food when it's on a big sale. I refuse to pay full price for something that's going to make me fat and unhealthy. That's my way of moderating garbage intake of ultra processed foods 😁
This video is unavailable in restricted mode. Video that talks about a scientific study, about the importance of healthy eating is UNAVAILABLE. I guess it's enough to "believe in science" to be healthy.
Processed food manufacturers need to hear from consumers that less ADDED chemicals, sugar, oil and salt is wanted in their food products. Why is there so much ADDED sugar in everything, even bread. That's just crazy Email, text, tweet or phone your favorite producer of poison and let them know consumers want less salt, oils and sugars in their products. Let their customer service department know that all the extra added salt, oil and sugar is not necessary or desired and is causing health issues. Reduce or eliminate highly processed food from your diet if you can. Go vegan for your health, whole food plant based. Go vegan for the animals. Go vegan for the planet. Go vegan and be healthier and happier. A lower risk of heart disease and cancer for you and a better planet for everyone, human and animals. Eating healthy is not a diet it is a healthy life style. Go out and look around. The vast majority of people you see are obese or al least over weight. People do not need to be fat shamed BUT being over weight is not healthy and leads to a host of illnesses. When you look around you can see all the unhealthy people without taking a blood test or a fitness test "NORMAL" for the average American is "UNHEALTHY" The health of society is in decline.
The less you eat of those ultraprocessed substances, the less you want them. At least that has been my experience.
Yep. Same with sugar. Processed foods (which usually have some form of sugar added to them) and sodas taste unpalatably sweet after you've abstained from them for a few months and have adjusted to the natural flavors of real foods.
Same. Eggs, bacon, and a steak, and I'm good, pretty much all day.

Fortunately for me, trash ultraprocessed food is generally quite expensive here and that makes it much easier to resist.

Does Jerky count as an ultra processed food? That’s the only thing I can think of that i eat which I might consider questionable
