Are ultra-processed foods (UPFs) engineered to send signals to the brain that stimulate the desire to consume more, leading to overeating (e.g., finishing a whole tube of Pringles) as discussed in the episode Understanding Hunger to Help You Lose Weight & Secrets of Successful Relationships and the clip Food Environment Crisis?
Are ultra-processed foods (UPFs) designed to send signals to the brain to expect a certain macronutrient, such as protein, but rarely contain any of that macronutrient? Does this lead to the brain and body reacting by signaling hunger (e.g., 'hey, where's my protein, feed me more')?
Combining these two stimuli, is it any wonder that UPFs promote weight gain?
