Strive to minimize UPC’s to lose weight and keep it off!
What are UPC’s? Ultra processed foods (includes sugar, white flour, alcohol etc). The influx of UPC’s over the past 150 years or so, introduced foods that are often ultra palatable, lower in nutrients and can lead to weight gain by overriding our natural hunger and fullness cues.
A research study showed that between two groups, those with unlimited access to UPC’s ate on average 500 more calories per day than those eating unprocessed foods. Let that sink in.
Let’s ditch the UPC’s as much as possible to put us in the best position to lose weight and reach our health goals.
Have a healthy day!
