Counting calories has become a way of life for many health-conscious individuals who want to stay within a certain weight range or maintain optimal health. Dr. Giles Yeo, a Nutritionist and calorie expert, joins Skavlan to discuss this controversial topic and explain the differences between processed and ultra-processed foods.
As soon as Dr. Giles started talking, my curiosity was piqued. He was so full of information and statistics that it was hard to keep up; however, as he explained the differences between processed and ultra-processed foods, things became clearer.
Dr. Giles explained that processed foods, such as canned vegetables or dried fruit, could be classified as altered from their natural states. In contrast, ultra-processed foods have undergone a series of industrial processing steps, resulting in high-fat, sugar, and salt product.
“It’s not just about the calories,” Dr. Giles said. “Ultra-processed foods are designed to be hyper-palatable, meaning that they are deliberately engineered to be addictively tasty.”
I found this both fascinating and concerning. It made me wonder if I was unknowingly consuming more ultra-processed foods than I realized. Dr. Giles explained that counting calories alone may not provide the optimum solution to maintaining weight and health. Instead, he encourages consumers to focus on eating whole, unprocessed foods as much as possible.
Henriette Steenstrup, a Norwegian comedian, actor, and director, joined the conversation and provided some light-hearted commentary on her experiences with calorie counting.
Overall, Dr. Giles’ insights were enlightening and thought-provoking. As someone who has lived a significant portion of their life counting calories, I found his perspective refreshing and informative. The Skavlan show provided an excellent platform for this discussion, and I appreciate the access to this information.
