    Hey my friends! This week, I wanted to experience the switch to a 60% dietary share of ultra-processed food, which is the average share of ultra-processed foods in the USA and the UK and more countries soon. I tried some incredible food and learnt so much about how to make whole food diets, exercise and staying healthy feel more accessible!

There's a lot of nuance: convenience, pricing and taste all factor in and are very significant variables in most people's contexts, and there are more reasons than that as to why a good chunk of the foods I eat on my typical way of eating would be categorised as ultra-processed. If I disapprove of anything, I do feel frustration that UPFs may be the only option realistically available for growing portions of the population who may really want a great choice set but don't have that luxury (back to the convenience + pricing components) but it's not my place or anybody else's to approve or disapprove of food choices.

All of these magazines that I saw growing up saying "try this one weird thing to lose weight" and "8 fat burning foods" and all that nonsense had me thinking that our bodies are like these magical, mysterious things that require the perfect magical foods, and if you eat the evil, bad foods, you will become inexplicably fat. Not understanding how food actually works made me just scared of everything. I so appreciate people like Natacha, and also Jordan Syatt who have educated me and made me see that there is nothing to be afraid of.

I can tell if someone eats more than they need by seeing if they’re fat. If you take an excess amount of calories in and you don’t burn them off then your body will store them as fat. So it only makes sense that an overweight/obese person is someone who eats too much, and a underweight/leaner person is someone who eats less or manages to burn off the calories with a work out routine so that it won’t store as fat.

      Up until a few months ago this was 95% of my diet. Since wanting to make a change I’ve slowly phased it out until the past week where I’ve now completely flip flopped it and am eating 97% clean and exercising. The difference in how I feel is incredible. It’s night and day. I traded out the sweets for frozen blueberries. Eat nothing but minimally to unprocessed organic meat/grass fed beef and cheese, switched to 100% whole wheat or multigrain bread, limited my sodium intake, and eat vegetables with every meal.
      It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it’d be. The toughest part was having to take a bite out of a cookie every 2 - 3 hours at first. Because my body was revolting at the lack of refined sugar no matter how much fruit I ate. BUT. I stopped drinking soda and sugary drinks a few years ago. So I didn’t have to deal with that transition. So YMMV

    I used to work at an urban farm in Denver, Colorado in an area that is considered a severe food desert and a women and children's day time shelter for folks experiencing homelessness... I think one of the most important components of the conversation, which you were touching on at the end, Natacha, is access to fresh, nutrient dense food. However, this access isn't just to do with if the food is available in the neighborhood or whether it's cheap enough for people to buy -- it's also time and knowledge. Sometimes people are making a decision based on calories acquired vs energy+time exerted. For example, a single mom working multiple jobs may know that fresh veg and proteins have a more positive impact on her and her kids' health, but also understands that she can meet their caloric needs in less time and effort if she gets take-out, and survival will come first.

      I’m not Nat but I am a grad student who reads scientific papers often since it is necessary for my degree. To simply put, scientific papers can be dense but with practice it will get easier to read through them. Start by glancing the abstract, it tells you what the entire paper is about, then you go to the results section to see what the numbers tell us. For context you can read the introduction so you can understand the “why”. Discussion is the most important as it gives your results context and paints you the big picture. Certain journals and publishing groups are more reputable than others, but they are highly field specific (Nature, NCBI, Elsevier, and Wiley to name a few are really solid sources), and usually influential papers will have a higher number of “article cited”, as in how many other people have referenced the parr you read in their research or reports. Hope this helps!

      Adding on to what I previously wrote, for people that just want more scientific information on something general, you can use the Google Scholar search engine. Works just like google, but gives you more scientifically relevant papers. Works great for socioeconomics, disparities, and other social science topics too.

      I’m an epi now so all I do is read journals - it’s very complicated in that it helps to know about what study designs SHOULD look like and most importantly knowing how to read the actual data results bc those differ from what the authors may write (example a study claimed a large protective effect but the study results don’t necessarily show that).

    Mario saying “is that French brie?” in the first meal had me CRACKING UP, and every time I thought about it during the rest of the video I laughed again 😂

    I really enjoyed this video Natacha! In the Netherlands where I live I think that ultra processed restaurants are not as abundant as in the US, so this was a look into a whole new world. Thank you for sharing your week!

    Such a fun video! Love this content. Crazy to see how so little food REALLY racks up the calories without being satiating. It would be interesting to do some sort of cost analysis of ultra processed eating vs your usual intuitive eating diet. Or trying to eat the way you usually do while spending the same amount as you would on a processed meal.
    I also appreciate you addressing some of the socioeconomic factors that affect our food choices at the end. Thank you for your voice!

    For me this has been one of the best and most informative videos I have seen regarding processed foods. I love the scientific article style, you have your references, a methodology and well defined conclusions. *cheff kiss*
    Thanks a lot for the quality content.

    I LOVED this video! As someone who tends to lean towards a diet of processed foods it really outlined the negative aspects of it. I might save time by buying takeout, but long term I will be hungrier and less satisfied.

    i don't think you know how much respect i have for you and how much i appreciate you as a person first and youtuber second. thank you so much for taking us all on a journey with you (metaphorically and literally!), for making science-based health more accessible for everyone, and for the amount of effort you put into making interesting contents, while at the same time super cheerful and positive. you motivate me SO much to better take care of myself. without you, i wouldn't even think of working out or eating more healthily. thank you ♥♥♥

    One of the (many) things I love about your videos is the gorgeous lack of judgment you put on foods, experiences, and life choices, and this one is no exception. Thank you for making this experience of yours a call to action for making whole food more accessible and cheaper, while honoring the very real reasons ultra-processed foods remain so popular, especially in the churn-and-burn lifestyles of the US. You're phenomenal. ❤

    I’ve never wanted a salad more haha.
    One of the problems is the generation that fed our parents and their parents had to make meals from proper food because other options didn’t exist so food education was passed on but that is dying out or has done already I suppose up to a point. Like your family, we had very little money (and lots of kids) but were fortunate to be fed food prepared from fresh ingredients-and while we complained at the time(Veg from the garden with caterpillars in and liver with tubes bleurgh) I’m now mega grateful not only for the healthy start but mainly for the education on
    how to cook meals from very little. I still eat liver..just not with tubes in hahaha.

    I can't even explain how much I love your videos. You are real, normal, silly and experienced in your industry. It always brings me laughter and yet brilliant information. That's so appreciated in these times. I love how you focus more on quality than quantity of your videos and even though I don't have social media to follow you, I enjoy watching your progress so much. Sending hugs from middle Europe. ✌🏻🙏🏻

      Hey Daniela! I did think about doing something like that, where I’m intuitively eating (whenever I feel like I need to, as much as I need to) on UPFs and I may still do it! Thanks for letting me know 🤍🤍🤍

    Seeing a new video up absolutely made my day. This is one of my fave so far. Thanks for spreading such an amazing message and for being such a credible, inspiring voice in the industry. To this day I can't believe I chatted to you at a pub for hours and thought you were just some absolutely lovely girl, not realising you are on a whole other level
