This is a quick read without a lot of high-level science-speak. It’s very practical, tackling one meal at a time and giving specific tips for making gradual changes to your diet. There are a few recipes for each meal and they all look pretty good. I appreciate books that recommend moderation because it’s more achievable. The author doesn’t try to scare us into never eating ultra-processed foods again; rather, she encourages us to make sustainable, enjoyable improvements, and enjoy occasional UPFs on a smaller scale.

‘Here’s to improving your knowledge and your diet quality by making empowered choices, which will result in eating fewer UPFs once me for all.’

A great book to read if you are wanting to change your eating habits.

I learnt a lot from this book.

It contains food recipes, meal planning sheets and an appendix on foods that are UPFs.

With having bought this as an e-book it was a struggle to read certain parts of the book such as the meal planning sheets etc so I hope to buy a physical copy in the future.
