I’m not entirely attributing my weight loss to not eating ultraprocessed food, but that was was part of it. I’m sharing what I experienced when I did that and not trying to argue a point or do a scientific experiment, so I’m not sure how confirmation bias entirely comes into play here.
you cut calories by cutting carbs
I did not specifically set out to reduce my carbohydrate intake. I still eat rice with meals as I normally do, but I also did what the article describes and subtituted the ultraprocessed foods in my diet with less processed food. My goals were to reduce that, sugar, and alcohol.
You lost weight and feel better by cutting out processed foods a great many of which are very calorie dense and heavy on carbs was what I meant. Which is not to say carbs are bad, I know people who went vegan and lost a ton of weight and felt great despite eating more carbs, People who went Keto and ate tons of fats and lost weight and felt great and people like myself who leaned into macros (and I eat a lot of certain processed foods) all the people had in common was that they took an interest into their diet and what and how much of it they were putting into their bodies.
I didnt mean to make it sound like I’m shitting on what worked for you because thats the important thing, you found a method that worked for you and stuck to it.

Yeah my post was quite poorly written.
