Should Runners Avoid All Ultra Processed Foods? This week on Cook Eat Run, we tackle the ever-controversial topic of ultra processed foods with renowned dietitian Nichola Ludlam-Raine, better known as NYX Nutrition. Join Charlie as she delves into Nicola's new book, "How Not to Eat Ultra Processed Foods," and uncovers practical advice for runners who often rely on these foods for fuel. Understanding Ultra Processed Foods Nicola breaks down what ultra processed foods (UPFs) are, tracing their origins and explaining why they have garnered such a negative reputation. Learn about the spectrum of UPFs, from junk foods like sweets and fast food to healthier options like hummus and wholemeal bread, and why not all UPFs are created equal. Making Informed Choices Discover how to make better food choices without eliminating convenience. Nicola shares tips on identifying healthier alternatives and balancing your diet to include nutrient-rich whole foods alongside occasional UPFs. She also offers practical advice for busy parents and athletes on how to navigate the complexities of food labels and ingredient lists. Sports Nutrition and UPFs Are sports nutrition products considered UPFs? Nicola addresses this pressing question and reassures athletes that using gels, bars, and drinks designed for performance is perfectly acceptable. Learn how to balance your diet to include these products without compromising your overall health, and get tips on pre-run and post-run fuelling strategies.
