Are Additives REALLY to Blame for the Risks of Ultra Processed Foods? (You Might be SHOCKED)
In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re back with Part Two of our ultra-processed foods deep dive, exploring why certain ultra-processed foods may make us eat more, even when their nutritional profiles look similar. We unpack the science behind food texture, eating speed, energy density, and satiety, including clinical trials showing how simple changes to food structure can dramatically impact calorie intake. Plus, we explore the food matrix, why whole almonds and almond butter deliver different amounts of usable energy, and whether additives and preservatives are really to blame for overeating—or if something else is going on.

Are Ultra-Processed Foods Actually Bad for You? The Science Is Messier Than You Think
In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re kicking off Part One of our ultra-processed foods deep dive to separate the science from wellness culture fearmongering. We unpack the research linking ultra-processed foods to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic health conditions, what the evidence actually says about food additives and gut health, and whether processing itself is really the problem. Plus, we explore the NOVA classification system, why not all ultra-processed foods are created equal, and what clinical trials reveal about their impact on calorie intake and weight gain. And stay tuned for Part Two, where we’ll investigate why certain ultra-processed foods may make us eat more, from texture and eating speed to digestion and calorie absorption. Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode: What Actually Counts as an Ultra-Processed Food?

Is Food Noise Just Hunger We’ve Been Conditioned Not to Trust? A RDs Honest - Yet Controversial Take
Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode: In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re taking a deep dive into “food noise” and whether we’re starting to pathologize normal hunger, cravings, and thoughts about food. We unpack the many factors that can drive food preoccupation, from appetite and reward pathways to genetics, restriction, rigid food rules, and eating disorders, plus why GLP-1 medications may quiet food noise for very different reasons. Most importantly, I’m sharing seven questions to help you understand where your own food noise may be coming from and whether quieting it is actually improving your relationship with food—or simply making it easier to eat less. #foodnoise #GLP1 #Ozempic #dietculture #intuitiveeating #eatingdisorder #nutrition 👩🏼💻 RESEARCH LINKS: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41387-025-00382-x.pdf https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01941-w https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15930436/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39649010/ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/eat.70090 — DISCLAIMER:The content in this episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is never a substitute for medical advice.

Can GLP-1s Treat Eating Disorders? One Woman’s Controversial Story Is Challenging Everything
In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I’m joined by author and eating disorder research advocate Paige Gordon, who lived with bulimia for 22 years before starting a low-dose GLP-1 medication that she says eliminated her drive to binge and purge. We explore whether biology, appetite signalling, and reward circuitry could play a larger role in some people’s eating disorders, and whether GLP-1 medications could eventually have a therapeutic role beyond weight loss. This is a nuanced conversation about food noise, bingeing, purging, recovery, and what Paige’s experience could mean for future eating disorder research. Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode: What Does the Urge to Binge and Purge Actually Feel Like? When Recovery Doesn’t Make the Food Noise Go Away What Changed After Starting a GLP-1? Can Different Causes Create the Same “Food Noise”? Did the GLP-1 Treat the Eating Disorder—or Suppress the Symptoms? What Does Recovery on a GLP-1 Actually Look Like? Could GLP-1s Ever Be Studied as a Treatment for Bulimia? Could Paige’s Story Be Misused by the Weight-Loss Industry? Are We Overcorrecting Toward a Biological Explanation? What Does the Research on GLP-1s and Eating Disorders Actually Show? 👩🏼💻 RESEARCH LINKS: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40337-026-01634-6 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39891848/ Check in with today’s amazing guest: Paige Gordon https://paigegordonauthor.com/ https://www.instagram.com/paigegordonauthor/ https://www.tiktok.com/@paigegordonauthor #GLP1 #bulimia #eatingdisorder #foodnoise #bingeeating #eatingdisorderrecovery — DISCLAIMER:The content in this episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is never a substitute for medical advice.

The SURPRISING Truth About Butter, Saturated Fat & Health (The Research SHOCKED Me!) | Fat Wars Part 2
In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re back with Fat Wars — Part Two, turning our attention to butter, beef tallow, coconut oil, and the saturated fat comeback. We unpack the science behind saturated fat, cholesterol, and heart disease, including LDL, ApoB, and the controversial studies used to defend saturated fat. Plus, we explore why not all saturated fat sources are created equal and why what you replace butter with may be the most important part of the debate. Did butter deserve a correction, or has wellness culture taken its comeback too far? Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode: How Butter Made Its Big Comeback Cholesterol 101: LDL, HDL & ApoB Explained Are “Big Fluffy” LDL Particles Actually Safe?
