Summary
- Build meals around minimally processed proteins, veggies, fruits, and beans; let convenience items support—not star—in your diet.
- Watch “calorie-dense + easy to overeat” combos (chips, sweets, fast food). If you have them, portion once, then put the package away.
- If symptoms or inflammation are puzzling you, try a short UPF-light experiment (2–4 weeks) and see how you feel.
- Practical, science-backed tips to cut back—without giving up your favorite foods
