The single biggest thing you can do for your metabolic health, which translates to reducing body fat and improving how you feel, is eliminate Ultra Processed Food.
UPF isn't just "junk food" like chips and candy. UPF is any food packaged with multiple ingredients. Junk and snack foods are a great start but there are many ultraprocessed foods that are lurking everywhere:
condiments, sauces, and dressings🥘
prepared entrees and side dishes🍜
frozen appetizers🌮
prepared desserts🍰
anything made with flour or sugar🍕
protein bars and shakes🍫
granola bars
crunchy snacks in bags and boxes🥨
sweetened beverages
coffee creamers
flavored nutmixes
yogurt drinks and commercial flavored yogurt
breakfast cereal and instant oatmeal products

The list is endless.

A great new years resolution would be to eat only whole foods. Or only minimally processed such as those with 3 or less ingredients on the label.

Make a big sweeping change and eat only fresh meat and veggies for a month.
Or make incremental changes, like throwing out all your bottled dressing and sauces and make your own; made from scratch salad dressing is ultra simple and so so much better for you.

What UPF reduction goal can you set this year?

If your new year's resolution is to "lose weight" (which should actually be to "lose fat"), exercise should not be your strategy.

Lasting body composition changes are most effectively achieved by changing what you eat to change your metabolic health.

Achieving metabolic health means solving for hunger and not failing due to the unwinnable game of trying to outwillpower hunger.

Change what you eat to change your hunger to change your body composition for the long game.

Metabolic health means brain health...

We all want healthy brains! We want our brains to work well until the day we die. This article highlights the potential impact of blood glucose on brain health. By exploring brain size in people with type one diabetes, the researchers found that chronic elevations in blood glucose, as well as chronic variability in blood glucose, was correlated with smaller gray matter volume. This is the area of the brain involved in processing information, including memory, speech, and much more.
