Anyone else been listening to this?
I have always been a pretty healthy eater, but this has explained a few things for me personally. I just eat like a pig sometimes, but trying really hard to stop
I have, spurred me on to cut out UPF for December 21. Mostly stuck with it, the odd can of non-compliant pop after a ride, or a Haribo if they are being shared out but that's it. We weren't big on pre-made meals anyway, and don't buy shop bread. So it was really flavored crisps, riding bars, squash, fizz and that sort of thing we cut out. The series was really good though.
I found it really interesting, the documentary that Chris did in bbc was far more scary though.
The podcast gave an interesting insight into their relationship though.
We try to cut out upf, but will still eat some
It was really a really good listen.
The whole analysis of the family dynamic was great.
We don't eat a lot of UPF as far as I know, most meals cooked from scratch hardly.
Yet I have a real problem knowing when it's time to stop eating!
On one particular day R4 was bumping on about lab grown meat, where does that fit in with the whole UPF thing?
we have cut a lot meat out of our diet and have a few meat free days a week. Mind you where does our fish come from?
Our meat comes for a little local producer now.
What one family think is building a meal from scratch is very different sometimes. We have a nanny for my boys a few years ago and her take on building a meal was a jar of something, and add meat, etc.
We try a 80 good/20 fun foods here, my concern is some of the UPF's are sneaking in all over the place and then I am eating too much. I have noticed since watching this that a Graze bar, one is never enough, but a spoon of Greek yog and some Greek (supplied by my FiL from his local farm) and some fruit fills me up where the bars give me cravings for more.
Really trying hard...
and don’t buy shop bread.
what do you do?
We were lucky enough to live a mile away from 'scotlands best bread' RHS winner a few years running (Woodlea Stables in Fife) before it closed, so had decent fresh bread available over the weekends, which we used until Wednesday and cut the rest into the freezer before it went solid. Now they have closed we have to go a bit further for some of their ex bakers. My partner makes a loaf every few weeks when we have time, again ends up in the freezer as well. If we want something fast then I can knock up Chapatti or flat bread in 15 mins or so. Or a nice pizza base with a bit more time. Flour, salt, water, kneed, pan. Quicker than going to the shop and buying a pack of rubber pitta.
