We know we should eat fewer ultra-processed foods; this book shows you how to do it.
From expert dietitian, Nichola Ludlam-Raine, comes this simple, easy-to-follow plan for reducing the ultra-processed foods in your diet.
Taking you through 4 weeks, each focused on a different meal (snacks and drinks, breakfast, lunch and dinner), Nichola equips you with the practical ways you can make a huge difference to your diet through small, achievable changes.
Along the way she also debunks the myths that surround ultra-processed foods and provides answers to the most commonly asked questions, to help soothe anxiety around what you eat and enable you to feel confident with what's on your plate, wherever you are and whatever time of the day.
With recipes to get you started and a comprehensive list of over 100 processed and ultra-processed foods, ranked according to their nutritional benefits and with guidance on how often you should eat them, this is a necessary guide for anyone looking to eat healthier and make a real change to their long-term health.
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.
