Whole foods... processed foods... and ultra-processed foods (UPFs)... What's the difference?I'm not the first to ask this question.In fact, the NOVA system assigns foods to one of four groups, based on how much processing they have been through:Group 1 - Unprocessed or minimally processed foodsGroup 2 - Processed culinary ingredientsGroup 3 - Processed foodsGroup 4 - Ultra-processed food and drink productsIn this episode, you'll get examples of foods from each group. Unsurprisingly, I also talk about one food in particular: sugar.You'll also hear about my take on the NOVA classification system as a whole (no pun intended!). And finally, I'll give you my definition of "food", and where you can learn more about which foods work for YOU.Need guidance and support to get rid of cravings so that you can slim down and finally feel in control around food?To get personalized guidance from me, plus support and accountability in a small group... join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.Do the Cravings Quiz and take the first step to get rid of your cravings!

And thinking about how to end it all because she was just so miserable.Then when Ellen was 26, she read Dr. Atkins' book, and so started her low carb/keto journey. She I lost 11 stone (154lbs) in 2 years, and has maintained that weight loss for about 13 years.She stopped eating anything with sugar and flour in it, and refined carbohydrates as well. Her foods included meat, fish, cheese, vegetables, and at the time fruit as well.Ellen explains how moderation doesn't compute for her. Even now, after all these years, she still can't moderate certain foods.  Over time, Ellen realized that every time she reintroduces carbohydrates, the weight starts to creep back on. So it's easier if she just doesn't eat them. And she says she doesn't miss them. She feels quite satiated with her proteins, fats, and vegetables.Listen to Ellen tell about how she no longer feels addicted to sugar and ultra processed food, and how she got to this wonderful sense of freedom and peace around food.Find Ellen here.Need guidance and support to get rid of cravings so that you can slim down and finally feel in control around food?To get personalized guidance from me, plus support and accountability in a small group... join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.Do the Cravings Quiz and take the first step to get rid of your cravings!
