I switched to an ULTRA-processed food diet for 30 days

🌲 Build a bulletproof learning system ➔ www.cajunkoi.com/landings/stu...
During finals week, I used to buckle down and study nonstop, which meant I turned to the most convenient meal options possible--fast food. But whenever I eat fast food, I feel gross. So it got me thinking, does fast food have any impact on my studying and productivity? I decided to experiment for myself to see what a 30-day fast food challenge would do to me.
🙏 Thanks for watching!

    Eating like that when you are in your 20s is COMPLETELY different than eating lots of junk in your 50s. In your 50s, all the excesses of youth catch up, decades of toxins built up. In your 50s, you must eat healthy or you’ll end up crippled by cancer, heart disease, or diabetes. In your 20s, a person can eat junk all day, smoke & do drugs. But in your 50s, such behavior must stop or you will end up crippled by sickness.

    As you age, the body isn’t superhero strong, so older folks just can’t eat donuts all day. Lots of KZread video with young men experimenting with insanely toxic diets. Don’t take your health and youth for granted. 20s bodies and minds need proteins & fats to grow. A super healthy anti heart disease, anti cancer and anti diabetes diet should start in a person’s 30s.

    5:17 It being liquid plays a huge part, I am diabetic and cannot drink sugary sodas as it digests too quickly for insulin to react in time. If I wish to drink something with sugar it must be with a full meal as it delays the digestion of the soda. Also, foods high in fat also make the body more resistant to insulin, so the fats in fast food can cause a problem the same way hence why 2 meals that contain the same carbs, burger vs rice can be processed so differently, as the liver has to also process the fats, this especially affects foods like pizza as it is high in carb and fat. This is actually known as the 'pizza effect' and makes it a very bad food for productivity (and diabetics :)) as it puts you straight into that food coma.

    I've been on a fast food diet for 6 months. I've lost 75lbs. Each week I pick a restaurant and every day is 1500 calories from that restaurant for the week. I take a daily vitamin, and one day a week I will make some chicken and a salad. That is my "cheat meal". My favorite restaurants are taco bell, domino's, and chik-filet. Pizza weeks are my favorite, as one $8 pizza is enough for two days worth of calories just about. It's actually not that expensive because I haven't bought any groceries in half a year.

    When you do the keto diet you stick to the keto diet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Likewise, Whole 30 diet - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Unfortunately this is a bit click-baity. It is not an ultra processed food diet for 30 days, it’s one ultra-processed meal plus healthy meals. I wanted to watch all of it but the results would not be the same as a true ultra-processed foods diet.

    Your biggest problem was quantity of food, though. For me, a 1/8 slice of a large pizza with veggie toppings works fine as a small meal. So I just wrap up the rest of the slices individually for the freezer. They warm up great on a little baking stone in the convection oven and last for ages in their frozen cocoon. First I had to convince myself that my brother, who once traumatized me by taking a rare piece of pizzeria pizza from my plate, was hundreds of miles away and not able to come in and steal my pizza. But slow eating helps also, which had been impossible in childhood either for time constraints or greedy brother who ate three times faster than everybody else and inhaled any potential seconds. My bet is that you ate your home cooked meals more slowly and in lesser quantities. The volume differences can be deceptive since fast food tends to be very dense regarding various macros and calories so the meals might look of similar volume when they aren’t really comparable. So you really need to use a food tracker to check differences in macros and calories for the different types of home cooked and fast food meals.

    For the 9:50 about eating slower, I agree pretty much. However, I believe for my experience (not science) that eating slower helps you to digest food and actually feel full faster, therefore eating less. Like throwing everything in super fast and it has not digest and absorb so it is still not getting the "full" message but slowly will at the right time

    Something I want to point out is that fats on their own don't tend to affect blood sugar very much, however pairing fats with decent amounts of sugar will take the spike caused by the sugar and prolong it. This is why the pizza was your worst meal. The glucose from the dough and sauce spiked your blood sugar while the grease made it last much longer. This is why many insulin pumps for Diabetics have settings where insulin can be given at a much slower rate over a longer period of time. The functions were specifically made for foods like pizza.

I think there is a way to eat fast food and be healthier than the choices that were shown in this video. Always go for the vegetarian option in my opinion 🖤 But I did enjoy this video! Great work!

I think cooking healthy meals is the optimum cooked meal, but lets be real, some homecooked meals aren't healthy, probably most arent. I feel like there should be an experiment of average homecooked meal versus take out. At least that gives people who eat takeout all the time the stepping stone towards better homecooked meals.
