Episode notes
Relative Framing Inflates Impact
- Headlines framed the result as "double the weight loss" but the actual difference was ~2% vs ~1% body weight.
- That equals roughly four pounds vs two pounds lost across eight weeks, not dramatic amounts.
Prioritize Dietary Guidelines Over Perfection
- Focus on following dietary guidelines rather than demonizing every processed item.
- You can include some convenient processed options and still trend toward healthier outcomes.
Ultra-Processed Menu Still Met Guidelines
- The study's "ultra-processed" menu still met UK dietary guidelines and wasn't just junk food.
- Following guidelines produced better outcomes than participants' usual, more processed diets.
