Cut through the jargon and cut out the junk (food).

The effects of Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) are becoming more widely known, with our high intake accounting for numerous health conditions. In the UK, 57% of an adult's daily energy intake derives from UPF, with an even higher proportion—66%—seen in adolescents. But with varying levels of nutritional information available about what UPFs are, what they’re doing to our bodies, and where they’re hiding, the latest buzzword can be a minefield to navigate. And how do we avoid UPFs when a supermarket sandwich is the most convenient lunch?

Making a vast topic much more easily digestible is bestselling author and leading nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert. Alongside a Q&A format to make the science easily decipherable, are 60 recipes that use natural, minimally processed ingredients. The Unprocessed Plate cuts through the jargon and allows you to cut down on the UPF. Identifying the common reasons underpinning our reliance on convenient, cheap, seemingly delicious junk food, Rhiannon is a voice we can trust, offering solutions that anyone can fit into their lives.
