"In the two-month trial, 14 adults who were overweight or obese and regularly consumed UPFs successfully reduced their UPF intake by almost half.
Lead author Dr. Charlotte Hagerman noted the food industry’s role in making quitting difficult for UPFs. Despite a small sample size, the results were promising: participants reduced their daily calorie intake by over 600 calories, sugar consumption by 50%, saturated fat by 37%, and sodium by 28%. They also reported losing an average of 7.7 pounds."
tl;dr: when you eat less, you've eaten less, and you lose weight
Yes, and also ultra processed foods can be more calories for less food. It’s relatively hard to overeat raw whole vegetables compared to Oreos.
So you can end up eating more, feeling full, while still reducing overall calorie intake. (Though maybe that’s what you meant in the first place.)
True, but in this study, there was no increase in consumption of other types of food.
You are missing the key point being the quality of calory...
Reduce shite calory, eat good calory.
