What people are saying
Numerous discussions highlight the key findings, such as the increase in caloric intake and weight gain associated with ultra-processed foods, with phrases like '814 more calories per day' and '1.1 kg weight gain' being prominent. Words emphasizing urgency, like 'avoid' and 'prevent', illustrate a concern for health impacts, which deepens the overall engagement and concern about dietary trends.
The majority of discussions reflect strong support for the conclusions drawn in the publication, with users expressing agreement on the harmful effects of ultra-processed foods on weight and energy intake.
Participants display a high level of interest in the study's findings, discussing its implications and relevance to public health and nutrition.
While several posts delve into details about the study's design and findings, some are more surface-level, focusing on general observations rather than in-depth analysis.
Many contributors believe the findings carry significant implications for dietary habits and public health discussions, urging a reconsideration of ultra-processed food consumption.
Abstract in brief
- Ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) were linked to significant weight gain and higher energy intake in a study involving overweight Japanese men, who alternated between UPFs and non-ultraprocessed foods (non-UPFs).
- During the UPF phase, participants gained an average of 1.1 kg and consumed over 800 calories more each day compared to the non-UPF phase.
- The frequency of chewing was also reduced during the UPF period, suggesting that these foods may contribute to overeating and obesity.

Most liked on X and BlueskyThis is huge: the first repeat study of @KevinH_PhD 's famous UPF study. Findings are the same or worse for ultra-processed foods. Compared to unprocessed foods they caused people to eat 813 extra cals/day!! Also, weight gain 1.1 kilos in one week! https://t.co/SudzYXU1wx
New study confirms ultra-processed foods lead to significant weight gain. Participants on the ultra-processed diet consumed 814 more calories per day and gained 1.1 kg. https://t.co/lZRo5Lbca4 https://t.co/TLnS9nUHKW
In summary, even short-term exposure to UPFs led to measurable effects on energy intake, weight, and metabolism. Avoiding UPFs should be an effective way to counteract overeating, support metabolic health, and help prevent weight gain. https://t.co/bu63SXxzn2 /13
