Sam Dicken, a nutrition researcher, highlights the challenges of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in controlling appetite. These foods are engineered to be energy-dense and hyperpalatable, making them tempting to overeat. He discusses strategies to practice moderation that focus on food texture rather than solely on reading labels. UPFs often contain unfamiliar ingredients that contribute to health risks such as obesity and diabetes. Dicken emphasizes the importance of energy density and choosing more nutritious options like fruits and vegetables to better manage his appetite without overindulging on UPFs.
Ultra-processed foods are manufactured to be easy to overeat, with a combination of appealing textures and flavors that can lead to excessive consumption.
