In a real world setting, eating clean *probably* works out cheaper. If you eliminate routine fast food meals, sodas, $7 sugary coffee drinks, etc and replace with much simpler and cost effective options it can be cheaper.
@@GilmerJohnI don't know, I've been ketovore for over 3 years and, prior to that, the cheap local orange chicken made up for its cost by the constant manual labor of bathroom runs. Medium-rare ribeye has never done that to me, lol
This is what I've found as well! Eating unprocessed foods=USUALLY purchasing less "conveinence" foods, cooking at home more, less snacking bc you're more satiated, and ultimately spending less on food.
I think the most egregious thing is that some people want to say they care about children and give them "life-saving care" but 20% of kids are obese and almost 30% are pre-diabetic. But nobody bats an eye 🤦🏿
Eating real food is so much cheaper!!!!! We never darken fast food any more because if I’m going to pay as much as they want, I’ll just go to a real food restaurant.
my meat diet is SOOO cheap....I eat about 1 pound of meat a day....eggs, ground beef....and I spend about $5 to $6 dollars a day in my diet... $180.00 a month in food....C H E A P!
Is that the only thing you eat? Ground beef or chicken breast almost costs that much. Nevermind fruits, nuts, fish or for sanity my liters of sparkling water. It adds up. My cold brew black coffee already costs 5 euros. I do weigh 210 pounds though around 20% bf, so I burn 2k calories by existing and most days I need 3500.
Coffee is toxic. Sparkling water is just pleasurable because of mouth/throat stinging. I wouldn't eat dried foods like nuts either, better fresh berries and fruit.
People without metabolic health experience, really don’t understand, that eating 1500-1700 calories of CLEAN food, is actually a GOOD amount of food. I’ve eaten 1600 calories, and coved 188 grams of protein in a single day. I WAS FULL! but to Mikes point, if I add some carbs to lunch, some fruit, etc … calories scream up, fullness goes down.
@@spiritsofearth More but not so much, 1400 basic calories needed for a day by doing nothing, 50-100 more for some movement（frequently move/walk a long the day), 150-300 extra if you exercise, make it a double 600 extra for very heavy exercise. It’s a combination on top of basic need not an added up of everything, so 1500/1700/2000. We can only burn that much, no more than 2000 calories a day no matter your lifestyle, unless you want to gain some extra weight/muscle.
@@An_Drea_Calling I don’t mind telling you but It might not help. I don’t have specific goal to meet and I don’t do any exercise, but needed to walk a lot everyday. no breakfast no dinner, one meal a day, only eat when I feel hungry, it started usually at around 3:30pm, 500g steak or meat or fish, 5 scrambled eggs with 20g of butter and some salt, that’s all I ate everyday.
@@DiogenesNephew I just came back from a gym. I ran only 1 mile and did other exercises. According to my Polar HR watch, my 80% of energy came from carb during the run. I need carb (polysaccharides, non table sugar).
@nobukazumikami5466 Interesting. So that's a non-sequitur, firstly. What it says you "burned" from carbs has nothing to do with having needed to eat carbs beforehand. And it's important to know that if you eat, sayyyy, ZERO carbs, your body will make glucose from your fat. And let's say that it were actually true that you had "burned" 80% of your energy from carbs you'd previously eaten. (How it would know that is beyond me unless it's estimating the amount of glycogen in your liver and muscles based on your diet. Even if it were trying to track that, it would be wildly inaccurate.) Anyway, if you'd eaten no carbs instead, what would your watch say then? That you've died?
If I had to choose one junk food to be taken to a desert island, it would most definitely be Pop-Tarts! The invention of the Pop-Tart is not given enough respect. I think Mike secretly wants a Pop-Tart.
Processed food manufacturers need to hear from consumers that less ADDED chemicals, sugar, oil and salt is wanted in their food products. Why is there so much ADDED sugar in everything, even bread. That's just crazy Email, text, tweet or phone your favorite producer of poison and let them know consumers want less salt, oils and sugars in their products. Let their customer service department know that all the extra added salt, oil and sugar is not necessary or desired and is causing health issues. Reduce or eliminate highly processed food from your diet if you can.
Agreed. This is one of my few "left" political stances. I really wouldn't mind seeing government regulation to prohibit the dyes and preservatives, so we can have at least a European standard level. I have a dream of a world where doritos are fried in lard, and don't have red dye #40.
I run this same study every holiday season 😂 I don’t test my blood but the third day after returning to clean eating there is a noticeable difference in how I feel.
The issue is that it's so difficult to avoid processed food in America. Most everything Americans consume is processed to some degree. The Yuka app can be a helpful way for folks to quickly assess how processed something is when they're in the grocery store.
@@OurFamilyInMotionwhat?? It's really simple. Does it already have ingredients in it? Is it packaged ? ...this isn't hard. You may just be confused about what food is vs the things sold in a store. Not the same none of those boxes or packages say food item and they never claimed it was. This is soley on the people buying and consuming irresponsibly.
@@00TheD It is simple, but it's not easy. If it were easy, 1/3 Americans wouldn't be obese. Again, the Yuka app is a gamechanger. People can scan products and only buy those with scores above 70/100.
It’s so weird, I shop now every 2 weeks eating OMAD carnivore but I’m constantly asking my wife should we go to the store. Even though I don’t eat processed foods my mind is still brainwashed to constantly shop and consume! There is no such thing as moderation of highly processed foods, my wife and I do 2 cheat meals a month and it’s a bit gross as I simply can’t stop eating the carbs once I get started as this study suggests. It’s the gross feeling I get that allows me to get back on carnivore and I feel so much better, there really is a problem that government promotes and will not solve in the US food supply.
That’s so interesting, I feel this way too, it’s like an itch you feel you need to scratch. Shifting your mindset around food /being mindful of our habits can be difficult and take time. Thanks for sharing!
This was a fascinating research video. I wonder if there has ever been research comparing intermittent fasting vs eating throughout the day meaning people eating the exact same foods in a 24 hour period except one consumes all their food during a 4 or 6 hour window while the other eats from 7:00AM to 10:00PM?
I do recall reading about a study, I can't recall how many years ago, where participants ate the exact same food they already ate, but divided it into 2 day batch. So the exact same food in the same amounts, but two thirds of it on the first day, and one third on the second day. Long term results were very noticeable improvements in blood pressure and many other things measured that I can't remember.
Cool study, but all it shows is how ultra processed foods are calorie dense and unsatiating. If calories were equated there would be like 0 differences between the 2 groups
Here's a ChatGPT summary: - A well-controlled clinical study compared the effects of ultra-processed foods versus unprocessed foods on body composition. - Participants were randomized to eat either ultra-processed or unprocessed foods for 14 days, then switched diets for another 14 days. - The study measured body fat percentage, muscle mass changes, body weight, and blood work. - Participants consumed an average of 500 more calories per day when eating ultra-processed foods. - The extra 500 calories were roughly split between fat and carbohydrates, with protein intake remaining constant. - Participants gained about two pounds on the ultra-processed food diet and lost about a pound on the unprocessed food diet. - Ultra-processed foods are designed to be hyper-palatable, making them easier to over-consume. - The study involved 20 adults confined to a metabolic ward, with energy expenditure and other metrics measured. - Ultra-processed foods were consumed faster and in greater quantities, leading to weight gain. - The cost of ultra-processed meals was lower than unprocessed meals, highlighting economic challenges in eating healthier. - Energy intake was significantly higher on every day of the ultra-processed diet, especially during breakfast and lunch. - Ultra-processed foods led to increased fat mass and body weight, with a strong correlation between energy intake and weight gain. - There were no significant differences in metabolic rate between the two diets. - Glucose and insulin changes were not significantly different over the two-week period. - Appetite-suppressing hormone PYY increased with the unprocessed diet, while the hunger hormone ghrelin decreased. - The study supports the protein leverage hypothesis, suggesting that low protein intake leads to higher energy consumption. - Exercise helped offset some negative effects of the ultra-processed diet. - Main message: Ultra-processed foods lead to higher calorie intake, faster consumption, and weight gain, while unprocessed foods promote better metabolic health and weight loss.
For me it's not the food, it's the potato chips, baked cookies and stuff like that, i'm not that into chocolate and stuff like that they are too sweet for me, but i got problem with salty and fatty things. with a little bit of sugar.
Totally get that! We’ve made freeze dried onion chips and they are INCREDIBLE, better than chips. I’m sure baking them in the oven would be amazing too! The trick is to find healthier alternatives that satisfy the craving :)
If you can cut out all processed foods, let's just say that if you're not active, avoid carbohydrates and excess salt, but, if you are highly active, learn how to cycle salt and carbohydrates into your week
Mmmmm - I'm not sure that cost comparison is really accurate. There's no way processed foods are cheaper than whole ingredients. I don't think they were comparing apples to apples so to speak. You can't tell me that a big bag of russet potatoes isn't cheaper than the equivalent of potato chips, especially with regard to how filling and satisfying it is for the price. Pop tarts might be cheaper than a steak, but they're not cheaper than a bag of dried black beans, which can feed you for days. Now I don't know that you can eat super low *carbohydrate* for cheap, but you certainly can eat whole foods very cheaply, much cheaper than ultra processed foods. No one really gets fat on black bean soup and salad, those are not really hyper-palatable, and it's all way cheaper than chips and cereal. I can eat for two weeks of unprocessed food on $50. In fact, just as an example I just put the following foods in an Amazon Fresh cart which would feed my husband and I quite well for two weeks (And a child as well probably) and the total is $107. I chose bulk where available and store brand when available.

I don't think talking about chemical vitamins is very common. But let me tell you that whenever I eat enriched foods I get sick.
