A study found that eating minimally processed foods can nearly double weight loss over 8 weeks compared to ultra-processed foods, even when both diets follow healthy guidelines, highlighting the importance of food processing level in weight management.
A study published in Nature Medicine shows that eating minimally processed, home-cooked foods leads to greater weight loss and health benefits compared to ultra-processed foods, emphasizing the importance of choosing whole, less processed foods for better health outcomes.
A study published in Nature Medicine found that a minimally processed diet leads to nearly twice as much weight loss and fewer gastrointestinal issues compared to an ultra-processed diet, even when both have similar nutritional profiles. The research highlights the negative impact of ultra-processed foods on metabolism, appetite regulation, and overall health, emphasizing the benefits of choosing whole, minimally processed foods for sustainable weight loss and better health outcomes.
A study from University College London found that people who ate minimally processed foods lost twice as much weight as those who ate ultra-processed foods, despite both diets being nutritionally matched, suggesting that reducing processed foods can enhance weight loss without calorie restriction.

A study shows that even 'healthy' ultra-processed foods can hinder weight loss compared to minimally processed foods, with participants losing twice as much weight on a minimally processed diet over eight weeks, highlighting the importance of food processing in health outcomes.
A clinical trial found that eating minimally processed foods leads to twice as much weight loss compared to ultra-processed foods, even when diets are nutritionally matched, highlighting the benefits of less processed diets for long-term health and weight management.
A six-month study by UCL found that people lost more weight and unhealthy fat when eating minimally processed foods compared to ultra-processed foods, highlighting the negative impact of ultra-processed diets on weight management and health, and emphasizing the need for societal and policy changes to promote healthier eating habits.
Foods that are often considered healthy, such as whole-wheat bread, bran cereal, and sugar-free yogurt, can actually be classified as ultra-processed foods due to extensive alterations and the addition of preservatives or artificial flavors. Studies have linked these foods to obesity, diabetes, and cancer, as well as potential addictive eating patterns. Surprisingly, other foods like sugary cereals, store-bought yogurt, fruit and protein bars, and canned legumes also fall into the category of ultra-processed foods. It is important to be mindful of hidden ingredients and prioritize minimally processed or whole foods for better health.
