James Laughlin breaks down why ultra-processed foods in supermarket aisles make you fat, and why protein at breakfast matters more than you think. Muscle strength is the second biggest predictor of lifespan. He eats 20 to 30 eggs weekly and says overfeeding, sitting around, and poor sleep together wreck your metabolism.
Lots of boiled eggs in our, in our house I probably eat 20 to 30 eggs a week. The definition of an ultra processed food. This came out of a university in Brazil and called it and it's called the NOVA classification of foods. The vast majority of it is in the middle aisles of the supermarkets. Interesting breakfast cereals as well. A lot of people think that they're eating stuff that is healthy. So I'm not sure if you have it in New Zealand. Over here we have the star system on, on, on products, right? And it's the biggest lot of bullsh.
Significant amount of protein in at breakfast. Everybody kids need it because they're growing. Adults need it. Especially if you're post 30 because you're losing muscle mass. The second biggest predictor of how long you're going to live is your muscle strength. Most of weight comes from overfeeding, right? But when you mix overfeeding with being sedentary and lack of sleep, then you get, you just get metabolic disaster. It's a whole cluster, right? It's, it's a clusterfuck. What's the single most damaging habit that most of us don't realize is damaging our health? Probably eating.
