What’s really in our food?

Recently, many people have been checking the ingredient lists of our food to determine if it is ultra-processed. We are able to see strange sounding ingredients on the back, but what exactly do they do to our food?

Let’s examine a proclaimed ‘healthy’ food, a gluten free KIND bar. Its ingredients include;

tapioca syrup, produced from tapioca starch that is used as a thickener, sweetener, and stabiliser. It has been linked to causing fatty liver disease.

vegetable glycerin, a sugar alcohol that is a byproduct of the soap and biodiesel industry. It can lead to nausea and diarrhoea.

palm kernel oil, made by the bleaching, deodorising and neutralising of crude palm oil. It increases levels of bad cholesterol.

Keep in mind that these effects are shown when the ingredients are eaten in excess, however 60%-90% of the average American diet are full of these foods (that are ultra processed). Learn your ingredients!

Hi! Thank you for the health advice! I would love to quit or significantly reduce carbs, I also feel like it's heavy on my body, but so many meals revolve around grains (sourdough bread mostly) and I guess there's a craving aspect to it too... Could you give advice on what you're eating instead?? I have lots of eggs, fish, occasional meat, plenty of fruit, just enough veg haha but i find it hard to imagine going without carbs (or grains more specifically cos I have no prob with vege carbs). Especially in winter 😋 Thank you for any help 🙏🙏

I feel like society has normalised feeling heavy and lethargic after meals, but its amazing you have noticed this and want to change!

You may want to cut carbs gradually (no starches - breads, grains, rice, pasta, potatoes).

I would recommend looking into GI index to see what foods are high glucose, following Hormone Balancing recipes, juices etc (usually very low carb and support women's health). Listening to podcasts on microbiome, or even a tiktok search.

Introducing pre/ probiotics: I make sauerkraut (which is basically cabbage / onions in water and salt left to ferment for a few days - lots of variations on this), also just made my first batch of Kefir (I stay away from store bought Kefir as its pasturised and all the good stuff has been killed off during this process). I mention these as a healthy gut is going to support you as you remove carbs and introduce more wholesome foods.

Breakfasts:

Omlette (spinach / onion / parsley )

Scrambled eggs w/ coconut oil

Buckwheat porridge w/ blueberries (buckwheat is a seed not a grain so low glucose index)

Avocado salad (seeds, olives, rocket, tomatoes, cucumber) +tahini

Snacks:

Nuts, olives, blueberries, blackberries, watermelon

Main meals:

Veg + Protein (Broccli, kale, butternut squash, courgette, carrots, asparagus, cabagge, peppers). I do different variations of veg to mix things up, sometimes i do Chinese style stir fry, I try to add garlic and ginger as much as possible into the veg. Protein is usually grass fed steak, whole fish - seabream, sea bass, mackerel, cod fillet, wild salmon fillet, or turkey breast fillet. I make chimichurri sauce to add some extra flavour to the fish.

Protein + lentil / chicpeas dish. I have a stew a few days a week to break up the veggies because they do get boring after a while.

Bone broth. I boil the bones, and have as a little side dish with veggies but this isn't really filling enough for a main meal.

I make beetroot juice, and also watermelon juice, tumeric + ginger shots throughout the week. I try to throw in flaxseed and chia seeds where possible.

I cut coffee/ decaf all that and now only drinking fresh mint tea, slice of lemon + hot water, fresh juices (within the hour of making), and water ensuring 2l per day.

Number one thing that had to go was oats. So if you are having a morning crash I suggest cutting the carbs first thing. I know there are suggestions (glucose goddess) that fat with carbs or when you eat them (having carbs after veg can help) but personally i think its best to cut them.

I hope this helps! Its a full lifestyle change that has honestly helped so much! It's a commitments, but investing in feeling good and your health will make you feel so good and wholesome! xoxoxo

*I used the free 1 month trial of MyFitnessPal app to track my calories/ meals to ensure I was getting enough food - for some this might be extreme but super helpful to see what’s going on.

As someone who at one point was low-key fixated on the concept of Buck’s relationship with his body I find it interesting they mention he’s in ketosis when the last time we really saw mentions of anything like that from buck was in the early seasons namely season 1 (at several points like the convo with the gay couple with the guy with the worm) and legit one ep into s2 with the talk of body fat

Actually it contrasts later seasons where you have him talking about his love for carbs (keto is all about low carb intake and training your body to burn fat rather than carbs for energy - I love the internet cos I didn’t know that)

Idk what it means but it’s interesting especially with that being the Abby era

Idk thinking thoughts and none of them are coherent

Should I wait and post this when I can actually descramble the thoughts? Probably but you know what y’all get me so I’m telepathically transferring what I mean

Diets that are higher in fat and significantly lower in carbohydrates are known to have a drastic effect on reducing the incidence of seizures in individuals with drug-resistant forms of epilepsy, particularly among children. While it's becoming apparent the diet creates some sort of shift in the gut's microflora, the precise nature of those changes and their connection to the prevalence of seizures remains a mystery.

im more worried about buck doing keto than anything else lmao

😂 i've seen this take a few times on my dash actually! full disclosure, when my dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer the whole family went keto (some studies show it helps when you have pancreatic cancer) and it did help him be able to eat without feeling like his insides were gonna be ripped out. keto will never be evil to me because it helped my dad gain back like 20 pounds (he hadn't been able to eat), which helped him get a clinical trial, which ultimately helped him live like 16 months longer than he was supposed to.

we didn't stay on it through his whole treatment, and i don't recommend it long term, but it can be helpful sometimes.*

*i realize this has nothing to actually do with your ask, and i agree that buck does not need keto, just putting in my personal experience with it.
