"You Won't Believe What We Discovered about Healthy Diets!"

How exactly did your diet change – what did you eat?

I started eating more snack food, so I'd have mid-morning snacks. And I went back to eating the kind of cereal I loved as a child, so I would eat my chocolate-covered breakfast cereal. I drank more soda. And I made little swaps, for example, instead of eating nuts as a snack I'd eat chips. And then in the evening I had a lot more convenience food, so I was still eating a few vegetables, but I'd have microwavable lasagna or I'd have takeaway fried chicken or pizza. Overall, about 80% of my calories came from ultra-processed foods and that's very easy to do. Most bread in the supermarket is ultra-processed, almost all of our breakfast cereals and snack foods are ultra-processed and most of our convenience foods are ultra-processed too.

I became very unwell very quickly. I felt terrible. I stopped sleeping, I developed anxiety, and became very unhappy. I was the pilot patient in a study I'm running with colleagues at University College London. We found there were effects on my gut hormones. So inside our bodies, we have hormones that tell us when to stop eating. They're very well-evolved. All animals have them and ultra-processed food interferes with those hormones. So at the end of a meal, my hunger hormones would still be sky-high.
