Back to Real Food: Ultra-Processed-Free Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe cutting ultra-processed food out of everyday eating. Writers describe turning the packet over — after a book, a documentary, a diagnosis, a child's behaviour, a gut that had stopped cooperating — and the first shock of how much of an ordinary kitchen the definition covers. There is learning to cook again: the batch cooking, the bread, the skills people did or did not have, and the meals that were genuinely worse before they got better. Then the shop, the budget and the clock, described without pretending this is free or fast. Writers report what actually changed — appetite regulation reported most consistently, alongside weight, energy, skin, digestion and the cravings that faded — and what stayed the same. Later chapters cover feeding children and households, food industry and clinical perspectives, and the people who could not make it stick.

Who it's for

For anyone trying to eat less processed food, families cooking on a budget and a schedule, and readers who want an honest cost-and-time accounting.
