I've pre-ordered mine and wish I could read it now! I committed to being present through the good and bad, and stopped drinking alcohol 3 months ago, and then it felt right to stop using caffeine too - and now I've managed to lose those from my life I feel like finding a less-processed way of life isn't too overwhelming now. We have decided never to buy bread from shops again - and I'm loving my new breadmaker 🥰 After being diagnosed with vulval LS a couple of months ago (a scary, chronic, incurable intimate condition) it has strengthened my resolve to remove toxins from my body, and my girls. My question at the moment is: how do I manage this without it costing so much?? I already have to factor in our various preferences and food allergies. I wish I could buy all organic wholefoods, but I'm worried how we'll afford it. I think Shaun thinks he's just going to eat steak, eggs and spinach every day 😅
We have got potatoes, stumpy carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, and courgettes growing from seed in our tiny garden - but we don't have the space to grow enough veg to sustain us. Another challenge when it comes to not eating processed foods is Rosie's allergies. I have ended up feeding her more processed things that I would have of she were free to eat anything :( I can't use so many basic ingredients, and often the alternatives are like 'pretend' food with no nutrition.
Oh, yes, I'm not quite clear on which things count as ultra and which things are just processed and which is okay and which isn't! Which is why I need your book to come out ☺️☺️
I'm also interested to know how quickly our bodies can recover after we stop having lots of ultra-processed foods. I'm looking forward to feeling transformed and full of vitality ☺️ I've been trying to only eat whole foods for the last couple of weeks and in my head I keep thinking 'no limits on nourishment'. At the end of every day when I know I've only given my body things that she will like and will help her, I feel so happy - I think my body is telling me she feels happy. And it feels very different to my conditioned relationship with food where I was either good or bad and foods were either good or bad. I feel so excited about the thought that no real foods are unhelpful because our bodies know how to process them and it's only when we feed them fake foods that our bodies can't recognise that things go wrong.
I'm excited to learn more and make changes (my family really needs the healing help!) and I wondered if you thought there was value to reading Ultra Processed People as well your book, or if I should just save myself for yours as it will be more relevant for me as I'm a lady ☺️

That's a great question and I'll definitely answer it at the launch xxx

I wonder if you mean processed or ultra processed?
Give me an example?
Ps solidarity as I also have a kid with allergies!
