Disclaimer: I am reading ultra-processed people BUT I haven't finished it yet.
Like many I've been dieting most of my adult life. Sometimes more extremely, but always basically thinking about food, what I eat and what I avoid.
I understand the science/explanation about how food manufacturers have essentially made things addictive/moreish and can see that it's a good idea to eat proper, whole food for the most part and would happily aim for the suggested 80/20.
I do worry about gaining weight, a lot. It's taken me a long time to get to the healthy weight that I am and stay here. The food I eat, on the whole, is pretty good but there's definitely easy swaps/wins e.g. my flavoured, protein yoghurt for greek yoghurt & a drizzle of honey. I can make bread. I am a good baker. But here lies the problem- I don't currently eat much bread or cake/home baking because of the calories. If I make it myself, I will eat it "because it's allowed" and therefore my daily calories will go up.
Am I missing something obvious/will it become clear later in the book?
