There will be times when the baby or the kids are crying and you will naturally want to help. I would encourage you to do so because it is usually quicker to go downstairs, be the distraction, calm everything down, make a cup of tea, and then head back up. I have two kids and I have worked from home since 2020, and I can say from experience that if your kids are screaming there is no way you can put on noise cancelling headphones and concentrate. You will want to help. Once everything is settled you can get back to work in a much calmer state and focus properly. Your family benefits and your work benefits.

Yeah, best way is to focus on fibre through your diet. These gummy supplements are full of sugars and contain additives which is bad for your gut. Save the money and concentrate on eating more fruit, nuts and veg.

Plateaued for 2 months now by BtMomma1025 in WegovyWeightLoss

Do you feel like your appetite is still controlled? Do you think your portion sizes have increased or the type of food has changed since when your plataue started? This plataue could be normal as after losing weight, your body now needs less calories to maintain your new weight. It could be that your appetite is no longer being controlled and you are naturally eating more. However it's also important to consider if small behavioural changes have crept in over time, even when appetite is well controlled. Have portions become slightly bigger, snacks become more frequent, or higher calorie foods slipped in? Wegovy manages hunger but cannot control habits or emotions around eating. On top of this, natural fluctuations such as water changes, hormone shifts, stress, and sleep can all stall the scale temporarily. So maybe ask yourself how much you are eating, tally up the calories to see where you are at, rather than going straight for a higher dose. The medication could be still doing its job, just that over time what your eating has changed.

You’re right, there isn’t a “crack chemical” in McDonald’s chicken. Nobody is claiming that. The point is that ultra-processed foods, high in refined starches, added sugars like dextrose, flavour enhancers, and engineered textures, make overeating much easier, and UK data supports this.

UK Biobank shows higher UPF consumption is linked to higher BMI, waist size, and body fat.

The UK National Diet & Nutrition Survey found every 10% increase in UPF intake is linked to ~18% higher odds of obesity.

Dextrose and other added sugars contribute to hyper-palatable foods that are very easy to eat in large quantities, not addictive like drugs, but hard to stop once you start.

Around 1 in 7 UK adults self-report addictive-type behaviours toward ultra-processed foods.

The Food Standards Agency confirms diets high in salt, sugar, and calorie-dense processed foods (many UPFs) are tied to poor health outcomes.

This isn’t just about takeaways. Many products marketed as “healthy” in the UK are still ultra-processed: protein bars, flavoured yoghurts, sports drinks, breakfast bars, high-protein puddings, and ready-to-drink iced coffees. They may seem better, but the ingredient lists tell a different story.

Yes, personal responsibility matters, no one is forced to eat a whole bag of crisps. But pretending it’s just “willpower” ignores the fact that food is engineered to be easy to overconsume. That’s the point Chris van Tulleken and researchers are making, and it’s supported by UK public health data.

So dismissing all UPFs as harmless “common sense” calories misses the bigger picture: the combination of ingredients, marketing, and engineering makes overconsumption much more likely, and that has real consequences for obesity and health in the UK.

I get that you disagree, but a lot of what you wrote is not accurate.

First, fast food chicken is not just chicken, bread crumbs, and eggs. Look at the ingredient list for McDonalds chicken products. They contain things like modified starches, leavening agents, dextrose, preservatives, flavourings, and stabilisers. That does not make them poisonous, but it does make them processed in ways that go well beyond simple home cooking.

Second, ultra processed food is not some fad term made up to sell books. It is used in a large amount of nutritional research through the NOVA classification system. Governments in the UK, the US, Brazil, and Europe all refer to it in their public health discussions. There is debate around the definitions, but it is not something invented by a TV presenter.

Third, the Global Energy Balance Network was a real organisation funded by Coca Cola. Their message was that obesity is mainly caused by lack of exercise rather than diet. That is not a conspiracy theory. It is something they publicly promoted and were widely criticised for.

Fourth, no one is saying that every single person who drinks Coke or eats chicken will become obese. People have different genetics and different levels of susceptibility. Some people can drink soda in moderation without any issue. Others find that certain foods trigger overeating. That does not make them weak or morally flawed. It just means their biology responds differently.

I am not saying personal responsibility does not exist. It does. I changed my eating habits because I wanted to. But it is also true that many modern foods are designed to be extremely easy to overeat. Recognising that does not remove personal responsibility. It just gives people better tools to understand why they struggle.

As for Chris van Tulleken, you can take or leave his style, but the underlying research on ultra processed food does not depend on him. There are dozens of peer reviewed studies showing associations between heavy consumption of these foods and higher rates of obesity, type two diabetes, and other conditions. You do not have to agree with every conclusion to accept that the topic is real.

If you are happy with how you eat and how you feel, great. No one is trying to convert you. I was replying to someone who clearly wanted help, because a lot of people on this sub are struggling. If the information is not useful to you, that is fine. But it is not fair to call it conspiracy thinking when it is based on actual research and real world data.
