It's exactly my experience. And there were two, part of it was Fernanda going, it's not food, it's industrially produced edible substance. And part of it was, it was Nicola Vina, who you may have spoken to. She's a food addiction scientist. And she said, it's not that the food would be beige. It's that a lot of this food, if it wasn't dyed, would be gray. And I thought that was amazing.

I'm like, oh, it would be, wouldn't it? Once you start looking at the pastes and powders. So that was very powerful. But no, I went cold. I went completely, I just stopped wanting it. Oh, turkey, what happened? So there are all these things that people don't report on.

So then if you're a man in your 40s, you're kind of up all night peeing as well. And then you're exhausted and you get constipated. I mean, you get your salt and your lifestyle and you're angry and tired and stressed. And so you get up in the middle of the night and then you're eating more because you're tired and your cortisol level goes up. Within 48 hours of stopping, I felt massively better.

Losing the weight took me two years. And in the end, I just fasted it down. I mean, it was grim. But if people, I mean, many of your listeners will be struggling with weight, I'm sure. I just want to say, I want to reach out and hug all of you losing. I had to lose six kilos and I have every possible advantage doing it. And it was really, really, really hard.

You're putting this so powerfully. And one of the things, people who object to the UPF evidence, I'm left going, just what do you think it is? We are living not just in a crisis, this is an emergency in the sense of something that needs immediate action. We can't wait to deal with this. You know, we always like, oh, this will end up costing.

It's already, it's unaffordable in terms of its effects on the planet, plastic pollution, carbon, all the rest of it.
