This man sacrificed his body for science. Not gonna lie he's successfully horrified me into wanting to clean up my diet.
Did you never watch "Supersize Me!"?
I wouldn’t say “sacrificed” since millions of people in the uk eat this and are relatively healthy
Same gotta watch out for ultra processed food
@@ikemm2680 the absence of disease is not called "being healthy". Health is something entirely different my friend.
Nothing about this is scientific, it's purely anecdotal. Read studies and meta analyses, this is purely publicity
“im not enjoying it but i cant stop” that right there.
"Kinda like marriage" Not sure she's joking. He should have a talk with his wife
@@DrJones20Looked like a joke. The reaction to the joke seemed natural, not forced. Also if it was true they’d probably not include it in the video.
@@pawelpow No one can read her mind. A joke can be a joke while still having a touch of truth to it.
@@DrJones20 exactly, so why are you trying to?
@@dog5440 I'm saying they should talk to each other just in case. Not that hard to understand.
I'm glad this experiment wasn't just someone eating McDonald's and KFC, but rather he was eating things like instant lasagne/microwave meals/cereal/etc which don't come under the same scrutiny as fast food but are still highly processed and probably really should be (especially given the results from this video). It can be difficult to cook all of your own meals but it certainly pays off in health benefits.
Well said.
He's just taking the piss and making a mountain out of a molehill.
@@RifleEyez youre ignorant, thats okay as everyone is by default, but please read up and learn about basic digestion needs and what the proccessing of ultra proccessed foods do to the micro and macro nutrients such as the water soluble vitamins, fibre and the levels of fats carbs and protein are all disproportionate leading to a whole host of big and small issues that build up and you dont realise they are caused by your diet.
In my country (India) we cool all our meal. It is really surprising to hear someone from other country telling it is really hard to cool all our meal.
Brother, if you truly believe that and abide by processed food then you're destroying your full potential and longetivty. @@RifleEyez
The food he ate (whenever hungry)
1 (0:33). Fried chicken (MSG, Sodium Phosphate, spice extracts).
2 (1:20). Lasagne (Cheesy).
3 (2:10). Dry cereal with milk.
4 (2:28). Wraps, bread with cheese, and burgers
5 (2:40). Stuffed crust meat feast Pizza.
6 (4:50). Packaged fish, chips and peas .
7 (5:22). Pudding (Contains Potassium Sorbate).
Results:
Weight gained is 6.5kg,
BMI went up by 2.0.
Body fat went up by 3.0kg.
Hunger hormone went up by 30%
6.5 kg in a month is a lot 😮
I eat like this daily, cycle 50-100 miles a week, bodyfat is about 10-12%, weight is 12 stone at 5'10, all my bloods and checkups come up fine. Healthy food is overrated, but I shove down vegetables and tons of multivitamins just because.
it sucks when you cant rely on hunger/fullness feeling to know when to stop eating
@@RifleEyez pretty stupid comment
@Irondragon1945 Yes you can. Just gotta move enough.
This should be required viewing for everyone. The food industry needs to be put in the spotlight like tobacco was.
Unfortunately, in our cost of living crisis processed foods are the most accessible & affordable to the average person/family
Many from tobacco went into fast food when the tobacco industry started going down. The harm these people have caused.
@@harry53831 That's what the ultra-processed food industry would love you to believe. Cooking tasty, and thus a lot healthier food from scratch is FAR cheaper (although an initial investment in quality kitchen essentials and a well stocked pantry is a consideration). Accessibility is no longer really an issue, even a Tesco's local will have enough ingredients to cook up a nice dinner for two. The problem is one of convenience and know-how - you need to able to at least know the basics of cookery and, well, it takes time to cook from scratch. I was lucky to work as chef for a number of years so skills/ability and speed of preparation & cooking no issue for me. Maybe a reintroduction of home economics as an essential subject at school would help future generations?
@@robertjones8083sad thing is, normal healthier ingredients is far more expensive here. I did some test and for a month I bought much more vegetables and cooked everything myself. My bills went up by 3times.. It is literally unsustainable for poor people. I cook for myself anyway because I'm lactose intolerant and can't eat every processed food but I gotta pay attention to what I buy. Do I make chewap myself from zero or buy deep frozen one? Do I buy fresh vegetable individually or mixed in a bag? Etc
@@alihorda are you vegan?
This is insane. And remember: the UK has banned many chemicals that the US still uses regularly in food products. I couldn’t imagine the further damage if you live in the states
Wow I live in the states I will do my research. Thank you !

@@S3bish those scooters were meant for old people who couldn't walk, not for the fattys
@@yoursleepparalysisdemon9599 here in europe they are used for that. a really, really fat human in austria weighs around 150kg, and in american he would be not seen as the top range of weight
The further damage is simple to explain; It's death. I live in the states, it's death. The further damage you are talking about is literally the 50 trillion cells in your body being malnourished and dieing.
You truly feel completely different when you eat less processed food. I switch between processed and less processed based on what's avaliable (I'm a student who eats in the canteen the majority of the year), and the amount of energy I have is honestly very different, as well as the levels of hunger I go through
Absolutely. Eating better 'flattens the bumps' from my point of view. My dips in energy and peaks in energy are less extreme when I eat a better diet - which makes it much easier to keep eating healthily because you always have enough energy in teh tank to cook or prepare something. I remember feeling so exhausted and hungry come meal times that I felt like I had no choice but to order in a takeaway in the past, for example.
I just ate a bunch of candy and soda
I was 132kg in 2013, smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol… finally cleaned up… now I am 89kg, stopped smoking and drinking, ran two marathons… just remember, it’s a SLOW transformation, but you can do it!

It’s hilarious watching a middle class man describe fried chicken to his family like it’s an alien artefact
😂😂😂
Especially with him listing all the scary sounding addiction chemicals
For a healthy person it should be "an alien artifact".
@@Tom_Mroz Yep. If you fry your own chicken it won't have all the chemicals he described. The chicken is not the problem.
Evil monosodium glutamate is what he worries about. What about the low-grade fry oil? That’s much more dangerous than MSG…
For health reasons I embarked on a high raw diet for a few months. It was mainly 80% raw, fresh foods with small amounts of rice, fish and dairy. I lost lots of weight and felt great but the most striking thing was the change to my taste buds. They had become much more sensitive. A tomato tasted so delicious but when I ate my favourite choux bun from Tescos all I could taste was congealed oil and sugar. I had to spit it out.
I do not understand America's obsession with McDonald's french fries. I taste chemicals and salt. The chemical flavor is so gross - people's palates are garbage.
What were you eating meal to meal if you don’t mind me asking?
@@SimonDelaney1974 In an average day I would eat a bowl of chopped fruit (blueberries, strawberries etc, apple, banana with nuts and seeds or a green smoothie made with avocado, some fruits, spinach and cacao and green powder. For dinner it would be a huge salad with home made dressing, pine nuts and some protein such as anchovies. Sometimes I would eat these with some rice or noodles. I was never hungry.
@@abeautifulcountry9353 You should try making your diet majority meat. It is life changing. Make sure to eat fatty meat though, fat will be the main source of energy. Extra salt is also important.
@@_________________142 I only eat meat and fruit (mainly berries), nothing else. In an attempt to mimic what we evolved eating, which seems like a no brainer to me. I am healthier than I ever have been in ways I would never have expected. Yet when people find out my diet for some reason it's extremely controversial. As if people believe you need man-made foods to be healthy?
As an Italian it breaks my heart to see the list of ingredients in that pizza. It should be only 6: flour, water, yeast, salt, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese (plus vegetables and meat toppings). Pizza per se is still a very high calories food, but that amount of garbage on the list is really frightening.
It's similar with bread, real bread contains only flour, sourdough, water and salt. Or it can be yeast instead of sourdough. The Mendeleyev table that you see on the packaging of the industrial "bread" is proof that it's some frankenfood, not real bread.
Fortunately here in Hong Kong processed foods are more expensive than fresh.
Good for you all guys.
How much do you spend on fresh fruits and vegetables? Do you go shopping daily or every couple of days? Say, you spend $10 on a burger, fries and drink. Would that same $10 get you cucumbers, tomatoes, leafy greens, radish and all enough for a couple of days of salads?
same in venezuela. complete collapse has its benefits i guess
The Party demands it?
That´s socialism!
It would have been good to see how he struggled to re-acclimate to his healthier diet again!
I don't think he would struggle. It's not that hard. Healthy food is also tasty
Start drinking protein shakes with creatine. You'll feel so full you wanna throw up. And the taste of creatine is so nasty you'll lose all appetite lol
@lucy r Addiction is different for everyone, some people can easily cold turkey things that they are addicted to.
@lucy r No one suggests it's easy for everybody. Some crumble in face of fear addiction and adversity, others don't.
The point is that "It would have been good to see how he struggled to re-acclimate to his healthier diet again!" - as the op said.
@lucy r What they show on that scan is ridiculously dumb. They literally misinform you there to try and prove a point they have decided on prior to even thinking about it. And I have been addicted for years to something I will not mention. I don't think it's hard to come off. It simply is a matter of choice. Do you have a reason to stop? Well then you just stop it. There will always be withdrawal, doesn't matter if we talk about the legal drugs - alcohol and tobacco, or if we talk about the other ones. Or even food.

I can really relate to the pudding on day 23. I've lost count of the number of times I've tried something new, and I've hated it beyond words, but I've kept eating it and said, "It's disgusting, I love it." It's crazy to think that our bodies keep telling us we want more of certain foods, even if we don't like them, just because it triggers a chemical reaction in the brain
omg yes!! i was so addicted to unhealthy foods and whenever my friends would make fun of me for eating shitty foods and always being hungry, i felt so offended and upset. i didn't know why i eat things that i genuinely don't like, but i couldn't stop. i've now started eating paleo diet (with some coffee and occasional sweets) and it's been a whole new world to me... i can't eat any puddings, pizzas, ice creams, hot dogs without feeling terrible. this needs to be seen by many people!!
He's very right about the "junk food hangover". I normally eat a wholefood vegetarian diet, cooking from scratch, and the day after my monthly "cheat day" (usually pizza) I feel like hell.
Yea same here
Might as well stop doing cheat days
yeah but it's not about the chemichals, it's about the great amount of carbs that the pizza has
@@jarafra1 Maybe so, but I eat quite a lot of carbs in my normal diet. The difference, for me, seems to be that I normally eat whole and not refined carbs.
I feel great after eating junk food like pizza but candy makes me nauseous. I also feel great eating whole foods. Maybe it's because I'm young. Though I notice that even though after eating an entire pizza worth 2000 cals I get hungry sooner than after eating 700 cals of home made food with lots of protein.
"UK doctor switches to Standard American Diet" haha only kidding
Accurate though, I'd wager a lot more than 20% of North Americans eat this way.
@ True. More Americans rather cook for themselves or buy healthier foods.
Apparently we are nearly as obese as them nowadays.
“Only kidding" but……not really….😂
Kidding? Honestly from what I seem to know about the standard American diet this doesn't seem too off
"I'm not enjoying it but I can't stop" is spot on
Yeah, marriage is a work in progress.
you can stop, but you need to put something in your body to make it feel good that isn't garbage food, which is why regular exercise is everything.
eliminate your bad fats, excessive salt and sugar, and alcohol, and educate yourself on nutrition, and you'll never have a craving again.
it's not easy to do, but it's doable (i'm there).
and the good news is you can still go out to dinner, eat chocolate etc. as a treat once you've conquered it.
The starch hamster wheel, my friend. This is why keto has an effect even though keto is mediocre.
@@TehKaiser Keto for life
Capitalism loves addiction.
I've always been fascinated when reading the ingredients, finding it off-putting when I find sugar, but only recently have I realised that "sugar-free" doesn't mean it won't harm you. It needs to reach a stage where the law gives the companies no place to hide.
"I'm not enjoying it but I can't stop". I totally relate. Sometimes if I eat potato chips from a bag I just keep eating them. It feels like my hand just grabs the food from the bag without my permission but technically it's my own free will. It's hard to make the free will argument when these foods can manipulate the psyche. The hormone switching feeling hungry instead of full is interesting. I hope the food industry can be regulated worldwide to be healthier, more transparent and sustainable and no longer exists solely for profit.
Same here! My parents would just load up the cabinets on juke food and soda. I was never overweight, but I would drink 2-3 cans of coke a day, eat chicken fingers that come frozen, microwavable dinners. Now I am cooking with lentils, chickpeas, fish fresh produce and I feel 10 times better. My memory has improved, and I feel like I can think faster. My sleep has improved, and I don't feel depressed or anxious anymore. Seems like the FDA is not on our side and it is up to us the consumer to research and figure how what is healthy and not.
That last part sounds suspiciously like communism. But l agree with the rest
It’s absolutely mind blowing how processed foods can become SO addictive. I had a major traumatic life event last year and turned to food afterwards for comfort. I QUICKLY became addicted to eating and now fit into the class 2 obese category. A couple of weeks ago I decided to change the way I eat entirely and it has been so good! I’ve lost 6.6lbs and more importantly I’ve begun to control my eating in relation to my emotions and am taking back my power over food instead of food taking power over me.
Good for you, these are some inspiring words! I hope you find the strength to keep at it.
congratulations, keep up the good work
how much have you lost now
thats great! pls update us ag
@@quinn.0 still going strong! Slowly but steadily making progress, now in class 1 obese category.
It'd be interesting to do the reverse have someone who has only eaten an ultra-process diet and see what it takes to wean themselves off of, and how it effects the biochemistry. This video is great because I think like a lot of people I always felt entirely shamed and culpable in my own terrible eating habits. The habits are still mine but I feel like I have more ground to actually appreciate what drives my bad decision making. Thanks for this great video!
It's not your choice. Manufacturers have highjacked our food and are using it against us.
I used to have an ultra processed diet,although I could still maintain my weight,I was still fat,but due to a lott of research and paranoia I was able to reduce ultra processed foods to 10-20% of my diet. I got slim,had more energy,and could only eat twice a day. I started excersizing and in order to get sufficient calories(and build muscle) and proteins I have allowed some processed foods into the mix but ultra processed foods are still the occasional treat. I do not have the healthiest diet and there is room for lots of improvement in all aspects but I have at least adapted to a point where I feel ok with my body and food habits(there are still some habits I would like to change but let's ignore that). So yeah it's completely possible to do it,but it's only the beginning that's difficult(first 10-20 days). Good luck.
@@sleeplife752 good stuff! I appreciate it, through my sister I've been indirectly learning about ulta processed food and i've been dabbling with mixed success counting calories. One good thing about counting calories is it forces you to pick things that keep you full so I naturally have moved away from ultra processed food. I still have a lottt to learn but like I feel good about every step I have taken and though I'm still greatly overweight I feel like my better eating habits are becoming more secure by the day and my attempts to lose weight are continuous even if I'm struggling with it. Glad to hear about your success too, cheers!
@@TonchoBluegrass Thanks! Great to see you are also progressing. I mostly stayed away from gluten containing foods and that did the trick for me,though it isn't like I'm allergic to gluten,so now I'm reintroducing gluten containg stuff that isn't ultra-processed. Hope you succeed!
Watch "Forks Over Knives" - it's exactly that.
I echo the comments of others who say that this video has shocked me into addressing my diet, specifically cravings. My question is, have you produced a video on the doctor’s return to healthy eating? Did he still have cravings for a while? How long and how difficult was the journey of returning to healthy eating habits?
you just need to stop for 3 days to a week and your cravings almoat dissapear but you will still crave for sugar but not more potato chips sugary drinks or any pastries
Apparently it is linked to your microbiome and the food in your gut. It will take a few days of healthy eating for it to change to begin changing to healthier bacteria and the cravings go down.
Bro, i was on this diet for 12 years, ever since I moved to the us. Within my first week of doing carnivore, ALL my cravings went away. I haven had a candy bar, pizza or pasta in 2 months & I dont even crave them. Dropped 25lbs, pimples, spider veins, dry skin, tooth tartar, joint pains, headaches GGOOONNEEE. The human body is amazing in healing itself. Now I eat berries & zucchinis to go with occasional rice & still no cravings. Ketovore is the way for me.
P.S. I can control my electrolytes much better with some fruit than with supplements.
Eat whole foods. I quit sugar 3 months ago and now I don’t even miss it
@@carlyndolphin Same. Added Sugar is literally the most harmful edible substance possible; the list of health complications is astounding. T2 diabetes, NAFLD, tooth decay, cancer growth, heart disease; the list goes on and on and on. I think it's comparable to alcohol consumption, except it's even more addictive. One day, sugar will be treated as a truly harmful substance. The public will wake up sooner or later.
luckily i ate very little processed foods as a child. which was already pretty rare just 20 year ago. i remember all my friends eating cereal, microwave foods, etc at home. it was like a treat when i was at their house, i didnt realise its basically drugs. my mom made almost everything homemade

While so many see the MRI as horrifying, I see it as a spark of hope. I recently took up more exercise and healthier eating and his MRI shows that new pathways can develop which ought to work for good habits as well as bad.
A fascinating study and experiment. Kudos to Dr. Chris for his sacrifice to give us knowledge.
Also, that cat was so cute 🐱:3
The MRI results were particularly fascinating. I had no idea that new neural pathways would be formed just by changing diet.
bro just removed 6 months from his life
It's been linked to autism in kids, Parkinson in men and dementia in women
Doing virtually anything in life forms new neural pathways. Any skill you learn, any knowledge you acquire, anything you do physically or mentally. It all changes your brain. The brain continuously creates new pathways in the form of memories/learning. It also 'prunes' back old pathways that aren't used as much, which you experience as forgetting something.
Keep in mind he made a conscious effort to eat whenever he felt like it and he consciously decided to undergo this experiment so of course fulfilling the experiment became linked as rewarding. If you decide that something is going to make you happy and then you take the steps required to acquire that thing that is going to make you happy then its not surprising the action that brings you closer to your goal gets linked with your pleasure system. If this was just some regular person not undergoing an experiment to bring awareness/help other people then the neural connections wouldn't be as strong, especially if the person didn't associate eating ultraprocessed foods as a good thing to be doing.
Wiping your bum with the other hand forms new neural pathways. This sort of gimmicky video helps him sell his diet books - he's just as 'conflicted' as the processed food industry he claims 'hoodwinks us'.

@@sylviaroberts8103 Thanks! No processed food, home cooked. High in protein, less carbs. No bread, no pasta.

The first 10 kg dropped like this. After became slower. I was heaving cheat meals and I ate sweets almost every day😂 So it took at least 8 months I think.

Yes document how it is to q.u.i.t.
I am intrigued that you noticed what I did about processed foods: the generally soft texture. This is crucial, because aside from the fat and calories, it's one of the key reasons why processed foods make us obese versus high-fiber whole foods which take more effort to chew and are less likely to be overeaten. These soft foods can be eaten in large quantity before the satiation mechanisms are triggered.
Textures got nothing to do with it 😐 loads of filling foods are soft, what are you talking about ?
You have no clue. It's just calories in->calories out. For example, diet pop instead of regular pop can be enough for most of us to lose weight. Why? You're drinking like 100-200 calories LESS per cup by doing so! And thus if you keep the rest the same, you'll either lose weight OR gain weight at a slower pace! Nothing to do with ultra-processed foods.
@@Henry_Jr_Watsson That´s horseshit. Flavors added alone trick you reward system to reaching out for more because product needs to sell more rather than one from competitor. Calories in-out is simplistic view that doesn't take in account metabolic effects of different foods.
True.
Just try to eat a bowl of cereal or oat meal without milk/liquid. Possible, but you either don't finish the bowl or it takes you a lot more time.
Try it for yourself.
@@Henry_Jr_Watsson Most people don't count their calories though. Usually people simply eat when they're hungry or have cravings for something and stop eating once they're full. So if you can eat a high-calorie processed meal in less than 10 minutes you're much more likely to go grab another one because you're still hungry and that way it's easy too overeat.
Its really nice to see him actually acknowledging the enjoyment and pleasure in the food that is bad for us because its sometimes treated like "bad food" is just disgusting and offers us nothing which makes people who eat it seem really stupid and why would anyone do that to themselves? Its more fair, to really see how a person can get into this cycle by acknowledging how it gets us hooked. This does not shame people for their eating behaviour, this shames the food, this shames the ones profiting from it. What a very sorry state of affairs for us in the modern western world (and increasingly, the rest of the world).
I agree in that it's important he acknowledges it tastes good. It's painstakingly created by companies at huge cost to appeal to our brains desires. But as as it's common knowledge now exactly how bad it is for you some responsibility has to rest with the eater.
yes lets blame everyone else except ourselves lol.

I used to eat a diet of mostly ultra-processed foods; my IBS was constantly in a high symptom mode, I had severe heartburn and I felt very sluggish. Recently, I started eating less ultra-processed foods and more fresh fruit and veg with eggs, fish, milk, porridge, plain greek yogurt, etc. and I eat home-cooked meals 3 times a day with one or two snacks; within 2 WEEKS I noticed an improvement of general health; my heartburn has significantly reduced, my IBS has significantly calmed down and I have more energy; I feel better than I have in years. Reducing my intake of ultra-processed foods has changed my life.

I was a foster carer. The first child I fostered asked me how often we would have deep fried food. I said sorry love I don’t own a deep fryer. She asked how many meals a week we had takeaway. I told her the only takeaway we have is fish and chips/burgers/pizza and chicken wrapped in greaseproof paper after being cooked at home. So the answer is never (from a fast food shop). After a week she told me she went for a poo every single day😱. Before that it was about once every 4 - 10 days. She was a much happier and OMG energetic girl when she left me.

Nah, no need. Just eat this sir and we’ll see how bad side effect will be after fortnight because good stuff might (MIGHT) happen after 6 or 8 weeks if you lucky
They do but only selected doctors do it.
That's a really great idea. It would help do many people.

Splendid! This was a great experiment and an eye opener for all. Many people have incorporated this diet style into their daily lives and just 1 month on it is revealing what it can do in the long run. No wonder we generally see obese people around because this is a common diet trend that should be corrected.
Thank you. I'm currently reading Chris' book Ultra-Processed People. I have written to my MP suggesting that the government takes urgent action on the prevalence of junk food and the ignorance about it. Obesity related diseases are stretching the NHS to breaking point. Prevention is better than the cure.
The sheer number of people using the NHS is what's breaking it, and that number increases every year. Obesity is really not that much of a strain.
@@illegalopinions4082 Thank you. I'm afraid I disagree. Obesity is the leading cause of cancer, heart disease nd type 2 diabetes, which are the leading causes of death and sickness. If we can improve the health of the nation, there will be fewer demands on the NHS.

My god, I needed this video. I usually eat homecooked food, but the amount of processed food I have been eating has increased lately and I feel too tired to cook these days, even though my routine is the same, which makes me want to purchase more ready-to-eat food. I need to go on a cleanse immediately.
me too!
If you are too tired to cook, make a meal of fresh, in season fruit, nuts, and some high quality cheese. Brew a pot of tea. This is what I have for lunch. It's delicious.
Cook big healthy portions on the days you have time and freeze them. Then on the tired days, you take it out of the freezer, heat it and eat it.
It could be soups(healthy with lots of veggies), casseroles, curries, lasagna, pasta dishes... and so on
Monosodium Glutamate is not a "processed chemical", it's what is found on sea kelp and is perfectly safe to eat.

This makes perfect sense why my ''cheat day'' lasts up to three days without me being able to stop it. It's like a feeding frenzy that drives me insane without me even enjoying what I am eating. I think I will stop eating processed food on my cheat days altogether.

Cheat days are designed to get you to fail. An alcoholic quilting would not have a cheat day. But you should have a lifestyle you can maintain, no faddy BS diets.
You know you've truly engineered hyperpalatable food when it feels so good to eat it that despite how hard it totally destroys your health, you want to eat more of it because the ephemeral pleasure you get from it gives you transient relief from all the awful symptoms you are experiencing due to eating it in the first place; human engineering at its finest.
Doesn’t take much. Just add carbs and sugar and the formula is 99% complete.
@@TehKaiser:
Not true at all, it's actually the fat, dairy, and salt which are the crucial components of the most hyperpalatable foods, only in addition to those will carbohydrate add to the addictiveness.
This is because in the environment we evolved in, the tropical equatorial rainforest, carbohydrates are abundant, and our natural food source (every single one of your ~100 trillion cells has an extremely strong preference for carbohydrate as fuel). In contrast, fat and sodium are very scarce there, so when exposed to larger amounts of them, especially together, they are extremely addictive; dairy is of course in a league of its own, since bovine casomorphins are ten times as addictive as humans casomorphins (even more addictive than heroin and morphine on a per-weight basis), optimized for getting a calf so addicted to sucking so much on its mother's teats that it will grow 200+ kg in a single year, and cheese, the most addictive drug of all, a central component of the by far most hyperpalatable foods, is curdled bovine breast milk which concentrates the amount of casein to 8-10 times the amount found in the milk itself.
@@hoon_sol Your nonsensical soliloquy seems to not recognize the existence of sucrose. That also exists in scarity in nature because plants are loaded with cellulose and other fiber to kill your appetite. But sucrose and other carbs can be distilled and separated from the fiber and food old table sugar the forms the foundation of easy and repetitive eating.
Eating carbs implicitly means doing work physically. But society has become sedentary.
You what is fact? Fats make up our cell membranes and the ratio by mass is 1-to-1 between
You live under a rock or something? Fats are rapidly satiating and repulsive when consumed alone. Trying eating just butter with nothing else. You won’t get through even or a quarter of the bar even if salted.
Milk is also not good tasting because lactose is not as palatable as sucrose or high fructose corn syrup. You must be on something to think milk alone is tasty. The existence of sugar pumped chocolate milk and sugar added cereals like Frosted Flakes and Trix indicate it alone cannot be that tasty. Fat free milk is borderline bad tasting with the lack of fats and the quasi bitter taste of lactose.
@@hoon_sol Will the person pick milk or Pepsi as the pleading drink?
@@TehKaiser:
Will the person eat a plain baked potato without seasoning, or eat a pizza?
Your analogy fails, because you're talking about drinks; people primarily drink for hydration, and so they will tend to pick drinks containing sugar rather than just plain water (this is what we'd do in nature, where we'd be eating sweet and juicy fruits primarily; in fact, chimpanzees very rarely drink plain water at all, deriving all the hydration from the plants they eat).
In contrast, when we're talking about *FOODS* on the other hand, people who are not very conscious of what they're doing will never get "addicted" to plain carbohydrate, it's always carbohydrate in combination with fat, salt, and dairy, which are in fact very addictive on their own too.
I already explained this to you thoroughly, though; get reading, chop chop.
Such an amazing and informative video, this video should be a requirement in school. The doctor also seems like a really cool guy!
I had some quick questions if anyone somehow sees this comment 2 years after the video came out.
How does rewiring your brain's reward system go? How long does it take? Even after cutting all of the weight that I needed to lose, I am still craving sugar and processed food constantly. Willpower is normally enough for me, but I still hate having the cravings and having to battle it everyday, even if I usually beat them.
I've been doing this same experiement on myself for the past 10 years now. All in the name of science!
This is the story of my life. I’ve struggled with digestion for over 10 years and had no idea that processed food was having that kind of impact on my body. I’m definitely changing my diet. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Everyone needs to see this!
Also take a good probiotics with multiple probiotic strains. God willing, it will help a lot to restore healthy gut bacteria that helps with digestion and helps avoid bloating. I am taking it and by God's mercy it is working really good.

@@againsthomosexuality1934 no don’t do this! This guy brought out a book and in the book he specifically states that probiotics are not recommended.

"I don't know what this is about, this is just a video of me not having a poo" I found that way funnier than I should have 😂😅
Damn, thank you for this honest and informative video of a rising problem. I hope over time we all learn how to consistently eat and feed our loved ones, healthier more fulfilling foods.
Everyone should watch this. I'm in the US and there are so many people, so many more than just 20%, that eat nothing but processed food. It's insane. And there's so much information about how to cook but they make it so complicated. Like, I make sourdough without even measuring or weighing or timing anything, no special equipment, just me, my bowl and my oven. It's so good and so easy. We have smoothie shops - really? Put the frozen fruit in the blender with some juice or milk or whatever and ZZZZZZ and it's done. This video needs to be promoted like a beer commercial!
Love how he was truly understanding. It is hard to get out of eating processed food. It is truly an addiction. Hope to fully cut it out of my diet one day and raise and grow my own food.
Start off with some similar substitutes that give off a similar taste or the same taste. One example is cauliflower rice substituting regular rice.
I'm always amazed how heavily addicted I can become from time to time. It's such a sneaky addition that creeps up on you. It is dangerous stuff.
You’re much more likely to clean up your diet if you set reasonable goals. It’s much easier to avoid ultraprocessed food than growing your own crops.
How I did it was watching videos like these and commercial slaughterhouse videos. Fun fact, McDonalds slaughterhouses are unsanitary and have rats. These rats occasionally get ground up, so not McDonalds does not contain 100% beef. Now I have a pet mouse and owning a rodent you realize something: Rodents shit and piss where they eat. They do not care. They're vermin. Vermin only care about eating and breeding. This means that if rats are eating the meat in McDonalds or commercial slaughterhouses, there's a chance you're eating rat shit and piss cooked into your patties as well. Realizing this fact alone made nee vomit and put fast food down cold turkey. I went back to my high school diet of organic humanely raised meats, and other things. Authentic and genuine asian and East Asian foods are also not only healthy, but they are more fulfilling than fast food and leave you full. Veggie pasta is a also a good substitute from regular pasta. Substitutes are amazing. Vegans use substitutes all the time. Its a good substitute. Im personally not vegan but I admire their food creativity.
@@unclegardener Nothing wrong with regular rice. Brown or black rice is good, has fibre and more nutrients than white rice and makes you feel fuller. Eating large amounts of cauliflower can cause digestive upset due to its high polyol content.
Honestly after a month of eating mostly junk food, my mental health is on the floor. My ability to self regulate my emotions is awful. I have no energy and I feel sad all the time.
Knowing that 90% of neurotransmitters are made in the gut, really makes sense. You literally are what you eat. Your gut health equals your brain health.
Yes spot on. I went gluten free three years ago and truly helped me so much. My mind is clearer. Emotions are settled. You are spot on food does really and can regulate how you feel cause I think also you don’t sleep as well when eating unhealthy foods.
Your description, matches someone with Gluten Intolerance, and or Leaky Gut. The wheat causes a mild level of internal inflammation. This causes your body to absorb far less nutrients... no matter how much more you eat. And when your body is deprived of nutrients for a long time... it starts developing issues in keeping up with its functionality.
One of the functions... is making the hormones that keep your body and mind, in balance. This lack of chemical / hormone... will thus, strongly effect your moods... making you more irritable, angered, negative, depressed, and lash out in bad mood swings. You are basically missing your happy-chemicals.
The lack of energy, is another factor in missing the nutrients.
If you develop or have leaky gut... your health can take a massive nose dive, as you will develop Auto-Immune type responses.. as your body starts attacking itself, trying to remove the unprocessed things in your blood, that should not be there.
Cut out all Wheat and Soysauce, for one weeks time. You will probably feel 80% better, by the end of the week.
Yeah listen to the others, you might have a gluten allergy
If you are what you eat, then you could be me.
And the UK still has better food quality standards than the USA....
Bar in mind that the term “ultra processed” can also refer to foods that are basically healthy (low sugar, salt & fat), but might include E factors like emulsifiers, needed to keep bread and’s such fresh for longer.
I very much doubt those types of “ultra processed” foods have the same health risks
Spoiler alert: the foods you’re talking about are awful too. Your average store-bought bread is near the top of the list of foods that are terrible for you.
Breaking news - food specifically designed with the express intention to activate reward pathways in brain and create habit behaviour shows exactly that on testing.
And yet there is very little control over how it is marketed/sold. Tobacco is very expensive and the health warnings hvve replaced the marketing. Hopefully that will happen with this 'food' in the future

@William Mills 'Food with MSG' What like tomatoes, cheese, chicken, potatoes, onions? All of which naturally contain MSG. It is basically a form of salt with less sodium than table salt. There is no conclusive evidence to suggest it's any worse, all this suspicion around MSG came as a result of a quack scientist who coined the term "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" (feeling ill after stuffing your face with Chinese food) and attributed it to MSG. People in South East Asia have used MSG in their cooking for a long time and don't suffer from the apparent 'symptoms' we in the West do.
This is the wrong experiment. What we need to look at is what happens when he tries to resume his healthy diet. Is it easier after a month, or six months or poor eating? Did he have a binge following this?
They are already doing this, at the end of the programme he states after 4 weeks there was no reversion and it is still being recorded.
No, it's not the "wrong" experiment -- it simply lacks an element that you want to see. The info about the changes to his brain -- that's crucial to know.
FYI, there's a fair amount of data about those who changed their diet from junk to healthful food. Bottom line is that one's cravings for junk decrease as one grows more accustomed to healthful food. . There are individual differences in the speed with which the cravings decrease, and the degree to which some vestige of the cravings remain. At present there's no consensus on why this is; one factor is the duration of the period in which one ate junk.
I'm speculating that the findings above will ultimately show that kids who are fed mostly junk from an early age are going to experience brain changes that are much harder to overcome -- that those changes are more likely to become entrenched, just as a physical rut becomes deeper and bigger if one walks over it every day.
This is only part of what was a 1 hour long program - at the end of the program those new connections that showed on the MRI scan were still present. He has now though returned to his previous weight.
@@dw999 it's truly scary the extent to which these cravings alter.
When I started eating healthily, I could go a whole week and my only concession to sugary food was a single small (45g) chocolate bar once a week, no cravings to suppress at other times.
Over lockdown, I eventually cared less about my diet and felt I "deserved" to indulge my sweet tooth a bit more. I had an extra chocolate bar here or there and before long it was 100g of the stuff every other day. If I didn't, I'd really start to crave it.

There is a way to eat ultra-processed foods regularly and still be healthy, you just need ti know the nutrient makeup of the foods and make sure to get all your nutrients so you can still function normally. Also food volume is important, so just finding a way to find low calorie density foods and putting them in your diet will do wonders.
There is also a way not to get lung cancer, by smoking only one cigarette per day. Your claim is quite similar, unless you have any scientific proof that proves your claim.

@@daniel3030ha Which part of the “you can still avoid lung cancer by smoking only one cigarette per day” isn’t true? We aren’t talking about processed food, but about ULTRA PROCESSED FOOD (difference: cooking your own food with raw materials is processed food; ultra processed food is any food that has been industrially processed, whatever has a barcode basically plus any type of fast/junk food). No matter what “nutrients” those claim they have, the ultra process they have been through makes them by definition UNHEALTHY. Just like ONLY ONE cigarette is also by definition UNHEALTHY. In addition, it is NOT also a matter of losing weight or of being/becoming thin. Thin people also suffer from metabolic diseases like PCOS, endometriosis, prostate problems, coronary diseases, fatty livers, etc., although they are thin. And the reason for that is because their diet has been FULL OF SHITS, although they’ve been eating it in a caloric deficit so they haven’t put on weight. We are talking about HEALTH here, not about fatness. And ultra processed food is NOT HEALTHY no matter what it claims in labels, and no matter if you eat it in caloric deficit. Still NOT HEALTHY.

The worst part was that it was really easy for me to overeat it. I gained about 30Kilos in span of 6months.

Thanks to the team behind this video.
I´d like to show this to my uncle... he´s always busy with working, often working 10 to 12 hours a day. He doesn´t cook afterwards, he just has a small tiny room in each city of his work places. He´s driving a lot in between these cities and his home as well. So mostly, he just stops by some fast food place near the highway or in the city centre of his work places. I do think it´s a serious addiction. He´s overweight and even had a lung embolism, after that went into a therapy clinic that served diet food, but when we visited we saw bottles of unhealthy drinks and snacks in the trashcan... I know it´s so hard, and I don´t wanna hurt his feelings... but I don´t want him to almost die at such a young age again. (lung embolism was really dangerous, the ambulence service wouldn´t take him, no doctor was there so they didn´t take it seriously even though he kept fainting, only after the second or third time calling, they did take him. His doctor at the hosptital didn´t know what it could be and asked another doctor that was still there by coincidence bc he had finished work already, and only he had that idea. If they had found out just a little later he could have, most likely would have, died...).
It´s shocking how addictive this food is, and messed up that fast food places make it addictive on purpose...
Even I notice that when having cereal, I could easily eat and want so many bowls, more and more and still not feel energised after meanwhile I only need a normal portion of a healthy breakfast and feel great afterwards.
I'm trying to get on this journey, it's been quite difficult but watching this video has put things into perspective.

We stopped that train and only eat fresh food we have made and cooked, we cut sugar out 100% and started speed walking everyday and in 10 weeks I lost 3 1/2 stone and I am stronger than I have ever been due to practicing calisthenics during those 10 weeks. I guess we are on a low carb diet but I make alternative breads and treats that means we do not miss out. It’s so easy to slip in to the eating of processed food and really hard to get out of it.
Totally agree, processed one is very addictive, as they must add enhancers , its so easy to get trapped into easy meals.
@@AlexSandra2525 Calories in-> calories out. Easy as that. Eating processed foods and sugar is fine. Just know what moderation is. Don't be a vacuum lol. If you can't handle it, don't get it in your house!!! Don't screw yourself over!
Well done
@@Henry_Jr_Watsson wrong. Sure the occasional treat is fine but thats his whole point. When you start on something its easy to get hooked.
It is super addictive, I can't stop eating it especially living alone and no support.
I remember I was on 90% UPF diet for a month. I was depressed, and I had high lipids, transaminases, and prediabetes! I had everything fixed and when I tried fried chicken again I almost passed out. That was A TON of salt I could taste now

I would love to see him getting back on track with his diet and what he’s eaten and how it affects his brain and hormones.
Me too - I imagine the journey back to healthy eating is much harder than the decent into eating processed pre prepared meals. The taste, the ease, the variation without effort and the price all all hard enough to mentally argue against let alone the chemical changes the brain has made to make it automatic to make the wrong choice.
I want to know if the neural connections will always remain, even after he returns to eating healthy- or will it always be a struggle with a nagging desire to eat processed food.
I had no idea what kind of junk I was eating my whole life. I got terribly fat and worst thing is I wasnt noticing it until I went to doctor for a checkup and my results were terrible. Thats when I decided to start living healthy. Bad thing is I am lazy and hate to research about food and I just couldnt count calories all the time so I decided to invest in meal plan from Next Level Diet. Best thing I got myself in this life. I lost so much fat and got so much more energy when I started eating healthy.
This video is very informative
1:27 that's a lovely birch!!
I admire his tenacity all in the name of science and it makes me so grateful that I was brought up in the Mediterranean eating a healthy, clean and fresh diet. If something isn't in season, we can't have it. The labels on the processed foods he picked up have lists of chemicals that look like a shopping list for a science lab.
There is no tenacity in following the ultraprocessed diet because it automatically makes people eat more. It’s getting off of it.
it would help so much if they made all that TRASH illegal... but "money talks" so it will never happen... both food industry and big pharme is big time against such a change... they make BILLIONS on it
@@LiLBitsDK illegal? Or maybe put the fork down? I extremely healthy and every once in a while I like to eat a greasy unhealthy meal because it tastes good I don't live off of it, making it illegal would be so f****** stupid
@@colt4531 you can use all the grease (fat) you want, just avoid seed oil... maybe look up how stuff like canola oil is made? what chemicals they use?
