‘This brilliant book is the answer for anyone wanting to make a profound shift away from eating ultra-processed foods, but just doesn’t know where to start’ – Dr Hilary Jones

Say goodbye to artificial flavourings, excess sugar and unfamiliar ingredients.
Say hello to delicious, nourishing, real food that will invigorate your body.

Research shows that one in seven of us across the globe is addicted to ultra-processed foods (UPFs). Often labelled as ‘healthy’, UPFs are everywhere we look – in our shopping baskets, our children’s lunch boxes and our kitchen cupboards. Yet research has shown these foods are synonymous with ill health and a litany of chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Breaking free from the hold of these cheap, convenient UPFs is one of the best things we can do for our health, but it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Here, expert nutritionist Rob Hobson sets out the steps to make your diet cleaner and healthier, yet still bursting with flavour. With practical tips, effortless wholefood swaps, and tasty recipes, he shows how to make all your go-to ready meals, freezer favourites, sauces, and snacks without the nasties, so you and your family can embrace an unprocessed life that is simple, satisfying, and achievable.

Let Unprocess Your Life be your compass for navigating the modern food landscape, reclaiming your health from the hidden perils of UPFs, one delicious meal at a time.

‘If every household in the UK had a copy of this book, it could change the health of the nation and save the NHS billions. I wish I could prescribe it!’ Dr Dawn Harper
