Ultra-processed foods drive overeating through low fiber content and hyper-palatability.
Because these foods are soft and lack fiber, they are consumed rapidly without physically expanding in the gut. Combined with the addictive combination of salt, fat, and sugar, they overstimulate brain reward pathways and bypass normal appetite controls.
Takeaway: Prioritize fiber-rich whole foods to naturally slow eating pace, support satiety, and regulate caloric intake.
