Reducing Ultra-Processed Foods Improves Metabolic Health in Older Adults

In a small, real-world feeding study of adults 65 and older, lowering ultra-processed foods to under 15% of calories (via two eight‑week diets—one meat-based, one vegetarian with dairy) led to natural calorie reductions, weight and abdominal fat loss, and improvements in insulin sensitivity, cholesterol, inflammation, and appetite/metabolism hormones, with similar benefits across both diet types; the study suggests realistic dietary shifts away from ultra-processed foods can boost metabolic health in aging populations, though larger, longer trials are needed.

Oprah Winfrey Reframes Weight Loss with Science and Self-Compassion

Oprah Winfrey reflects on decades of weight struggles, describing a biologically driven “enough point” and a shift from self-blame to a science-informed approach outlined in her book Enough with Dr. Ania Jastreboff. After resisting weight-loss medications for years due to shame, she started GLP-1–type drugs about two years ago, paired with daily hiking and resistance training, and now weighs about 155 pounds—the marathon weight—and says she feels healthier and stronger at 71 than at 40. Medical experts emphasize obesity as a treatable disease, not a personal fault, and Oprah’s openness aims to reduce stigma and encourage sustainable, health-focused strategies.

Top Breakfast for Fat Loss, Nutritionists Say

The best breakfast for fat loss is not a one-size-fits-all but should focus on maintaining a calorie deficit while emphasizing high-protein and high-fiber foods to promote satiety, blood sugar control, and overall nutrition. Incorporating variety and eating earlier in the day can further support weight loss efforts, with the key being sustainable, balanced choices rather than strict restrictions.
