Episode 3015: Nancy Clark breaks down the hidden impact of ultra-processed foods on weight and health, revealing how even calorie-matched meals can lead to different outcomes based on food quality. Learn why whole, minimally processed foods may not only help you feel fuller but could also support long-term weight management more effectively than their convenient, ultra-processed counterparts. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nancyclarkrd.com/2019/11/13/quality-calories-for-weight-management/ Quotes to ponder: "Ultra-processed foods commonly have added flavors, sugars, fats, preservatives and ingredients that you are unlikely to have stocked in your pantry." "When the subjects ate from the ultra-processed buffet, they consumed about 500 calories above their baseline intake and they gained about 2 pounds in two weeks." "Processing changes the food structure (matrix), and this impacts satiety, the feeling of fullness that persists after eating."
