Ultra-processed foods are everywhere in the headlines right now. But are they actually killing you, or is this another case of nutrition science being turned into clickbait?

In this episode Paul cuts through the noise on one of the most talked-about topics in nutrition right now. From the origins of the NOVA classification system to the actual research behind the UPF headlines, this is the honest, balanced take you won't get from a documentary or a social media scare post.

Paul breaks down what "ultra-processed" actually means under the NOVA system, and why the definition is a lot broader and blunter than most people realise. Spoiler: your baked beans, your Weetabix, and half the "healthy" food in your cupboard probably qualifies.

He also digs into the science, including the major BMJ umbrella review, the NIH clinical trial that made headlines, and the crucial difference between association and causation that nobody seems to want to talk about.

And then there's the argument that might ruffle a few feathers. If you're drinking regularly, not hitting your protein, barely eating any veg and not sleeping properly, worrying about emulsifiers is a fart in a thunderstorm. Paul makes the case that for most people, the UPF conversation is a distraction from the basics that would actually change their body and their health.

Honest, evidence-based, and zero waffle. As always.

Everyone's on Ozempic.
Your mate, your colleague, half of Instagram.
And if you're doing the actual work - tracking food, training, being patient - you're probably wondering if you're stupid for not taking the shortcut.
Let me be clear: Ozempic is NOT the answer. It's an expensive, side-effect-ridden temporary fix that doesn't teach you anything, makes you lose muscle, and stops working the second you stop paying £300/month for it. In this episode, I break down exactly why Ozempic fails long-term, who the 5% of people are who should actually use it, and what you should do instead if you're serious about losing weight and keeping it off. No shortcuts.

Trying to feed your family healthy food without spending hours in the kitchen or a fortune at Tesco? You're not alone.

I'm Paul Evans, registered nutritionist (MSc, RNutr), and in this episode of No Forking Nonsense I'm giving you practical, realistic advice on how to feed your family properly without it being another full-time job.

In this episode:

• Why family nutrition is so hard (and why it's not your fault)
• The one meal rule: how to stop cooking multiple dinners every night
• Batch cooking that actually works for busy parents (3 meals, not 14)
• How to get kids to eat vegetables (the actual science, not Instagram tricks)
• Budget-friendly family meals that don't cost a fortune
• Why you should stop hiding veg and what to do instead
• Simple meal ideas your family will actually eat for under £1.50 per portion
• What to do when your partner eats differently to you
• Quick wins you can implement this week

I reference multiple studies including research from Penn State University on vegetable acceptance, University College London on food exposure frequency (kids need to see a food 10-15 times before trying it), and evidence on why cooking one family meal reduces picky eating.

This isn't perfect-parent Instagram nonsense. This is real advice for real families who are time-poor, budget-conscious, and just trying to get dinner on the table without everyone losing it.

If you're a parent who feels guilty about fish fingers on a Wednesday, this episode is for you.
