[Study] Ultra-Processed Diets Cause Excess Calorie Intake and Weight Gain: An Inpatient Randomized Controlled Trial of Ad Libitum Food Intake

A recent study was done comparing the calorie intake of individuals when given unrestricted amounts of highly processed and unprocessed foods. The food that the participants consumed was 100% provided by the study organizers and participants lived in the lab during all of the 28 days of the study. This means the study was NOT based on self reporting, a common flaw with diet studies. The study found that on average, people ate 500 calories less when eating the unprocessed foods despite the fact that participants rated the tastiness of the foods the same.

This can be an effective weight loss strategy for anyone during times when a person is not counting calories or is unable to during certain meals or timeframes. This may seem like common sense for most people but it is nice to see a study supporting it.
