Impact of Decreasing Ultra-Processed Food Intake on Whole-Body Metabolism
Objectives: The Western diet is rich in ultra-processed foods (UPF) and this may be partially driving the prevalence of obesity and cardiometabolic disease. Little is known about the benefits of aiming to decrease UPF intake in free-living contexts, particularly when examining whole-body metabolism. This study aims to identify the potential benefits of striving to consume a low-UPF diet on substrate oxidation in humans.
