In a clinical trial, participants following a minimally processed food diet lost twice as much weight compared to those on an ultra-processed food diet. The study involved 55 adults and the diets were nutritionally matched. Participants had access to sufficient food without intake restrictions. After switching diets, weight loss was significantly greater with minimally processed foods, reflecting better nutritional profiles. The trial was a landmark as the first interventional study comparing these food types in real-world conditions and was the longest of its kind.
Participants who consumed minimally processed foods lost twice as much weight compared to those eating ultra-processed foods, indicating the impact of food processing on weight management.
The trial involved 55 adults who alternated between eight-week diets of minimally processed foods and ultra-processed foods, providing a clear comparison of their effects on weight loss.
