“Ultra-processed foods are formulations of food

“Ultra-processed foods are formulations of food substances often modified by chemical processes and then assembled into ready-to-consume hyper-palatable food and drink products using flavours, colours, emulsifiers and a myriad of other cosmetic additives. Most are made and promoted by transnational and other giant corporations. Their ultra-processing makes them highly profitable, intensely appealing and intrinsically unhealthy” - Monteiro et al., 2019

In this blog post, I’m looking beyond the ‘good food’ and ‘bad food’ ideology and considering things objectively a.k.a based on available scientific evidence.

Spoiler: This blog post is not suggesting you eliminate ultra-processed foods - that decision is yours.

We now live in an era where we think that changing

We now live in an era where we think that changing the name or label of something automatically ‘transforms’ it into something else.

To me, there’s difference no between this and telling yourself a lie so many times until you convince yourself it’s the truth.

I don’t expect everyone to agree with me, but in my opinion, changing labels doesn’t change the fundamental truth.

What is, is and what isn’t, isn’t.

When you tell yourself that eating whole foods is

When you tell yourself that eating whole foods is difficult and expensive, you conjure negative emotions that make it impossible for you to eat healthily consistently.

If you change the narrative by telling yourself that eating a nutrient-dense diet is possible and you can do it, you will conjure positive emotions that allow you to cultivate the healthier habits you desire over time.

The takeaway: Be mindful of the way you think about situations. Whatever you tell yourself repeatedly is what you believe, and that ultimately determines your course of action. If you tell yourself you can, you will.

I have a free guide with ten steps to help you cultivate healthy eating habits for life. Click on the link in my bio 👉🏾 @drsomiigbene to download your copy.

Don’t be that person who thinks because you can’t live the ‘ideal lifestyle’ you can’t do anything at all. That is a DEFEATIST attitude, drop it!

Within your budget you CAN do something to improve your health. Maybe you can’t buy ready made rice for £1 a portion, but you can buy a 1kg bag of uncooked rice for £1.60 and get 16 portions for 10 pence each.

Maybe buying a 200g bag of fresh runner beans for £1.50 is too expensive at 75p a portion, but you can buy a 1kg bag of frozen runner beans for £1 and get 10 portions for 10 pence each.

As I always say, where there’s a will, there’s a way!

Perhaps you can’t figure out the shortcuts yourself, or you don’t know how or where to start. That’s okay, because that’s the reason professionals exist.

You’re more likely to eat what you keep around you regularly.

If you keep nutrient-poor foods around you often, you will eat them regularly. Conversely, if you keep nutrient-rich foods around you, you’re more likely to choose them regularly.

Besides keeping nutrient-rich foods around you often, planning and smart shopping are crucial. I’ve shared some tips in the carousel to help you, let me know in the comments if you find them useful.

On the blog today, I’m exploring some of the (evidence-based) genetic and social factors that increase the risk of type 2 diabetes in Africans, Caribbeans and South Asians.

I said Caucasians were genetically gifted in my post yesterday; this article should hopefully put that statement into context.

And just before someone writes a comment about blaming, this is not about blaming. This is about explaining why people of colour need to be more intentional about dietary choices. Most of us start off at a disadvantage, but we can still overcome that disadvantage by eating with wisdom.
