We’re sleepwalking into a public health disaster. According to experts, one in five Brits - or around 10 MILLION adults - may be addicted to junk food - which is thought to be just as dangerous as being dependent on alcohol, tobacco or even drugs like cocaine. Expert nutritionist Rob Hobson is joining us with his reaction to the shocking headline, as well as taking us through his top ultra-processed food swaps.

When you walk into a supermarket nearly everything is processed food 😢

@luluandmeow Ай бұрын

I only shop from their fresh fruit and veggie aisles, frozen fruit/veggies/mushrooms/ingredients (chopped onions, crushed garlic, etc.), tins (beans, peas, chopped tomatoes, etc, all good stuff), wholegrains (rice, lentils, oats, pasta is also good although more processed). Sourdough bread is also good, e.g. with seeds, rye, etc. Some lightly processed food can be excellent too, e.g. falafel, hummus, baked beans. I also love vacuum packed chestnuts. Lidl does some very tasty, oil-free dried veggies and sundried tomatoes as part of their Italian range, when they do I stock up on them, they are very low cal and an amazing addition to salads, pasta, sandwiches, etc.

It’s definitely a mindset hard to get into - I have lost 94 lbs by cutting down on ultra processed foods, I know walk into the shop and avoid them all together. Fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy products like cheese and milk as well as eggs and other basic ingredients are my go to. Adding spices to simple foods makes them taste much better and palatable for the beginning journey.

This is such a watered down version of the UPF discussion. Unless you’re happy with eventually encountering serious chronic illness, then you need to start eating whole,unprocessed foods ASAP. If your ‘food’ has an ingredient list, then it’s not food. Simple. A bag of carrots, 6 apples, pint of whole milk and a whole chicken costs less than £10. It’s not expensive to eat nutritious unprocessed foods.

Weetabix: Wholegrain Wheat (95%), Malted Barley Extract, Sugar, Salt, Niacin, Iron, Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin (B1), Folic Acid Weetabix are essentially empty calories. It may be "high in fiber", but that's entirely insoluble fibre. Natural foods (fruits) provide a natural balance of both types of fiber. Completely silly to recommend replacing one UPF with another. Get an expert on.

He’s taking about “easy” swaps, the sort of thing that people who won’t jump straight from convenience food to making food from scratch can do. It can be intimidating to go from convenience food to homemade food, especially if you don’t already have some basic cooking skills, so swapping one convenience food for another is an improvement a person can do right now without having to change their whole lifestyle.

@mendo5459 Ай бұрын

Half truths in there. The part about ingredients lists was true, that if you see ingredients that you wouldn't have in your cupboard then its ultra processed. But replace a cereal bar with a banana, crisps with unprocessed popcorn and ANY cereal with oats, greek yoghurt and berries (like i do lol)

@luluandmeow Ай бұрын

I wish you luck but moderation does not work for 99.9% of people, that's why we are overweight and food addicts in the first place. You wouldn't advise moderation to an alcoholic, if something is a trigger food (crisps, cheese, chocolate, etc.) the only solution is to abstain, at least for several months, maybe for life (and if you panic at the thought, it's because you are addicted to it). Bring trigger/junk/ultraprocessed food into the house at your peril - uncontrolled overeating and bingeing will soon follow, maybe not today, but soon, and then you'll be back on the junk food wagon.
