Field Report: The UPF Free Experiment Has Gone Badly Wrong

Actually Trying

Show Notes

This week’s update is… brief.

After confidently declaring I would attempt a week of ultra-processed-food-free living, I made it:

👉 One day.

And now I am recording this hunched over a sick bowl in what can only be described as the pink fluffy gown of shame.

Is it norovirus? Is it food poisoning? Is it my body rebelling against actual vegetables?

We do not yet know.

What we do know: • Cooking is dangerous • My stomach muscles are shot • The commitment to this podcast remains intact

Full debrief on Monday — assuming I survive.

Welcome to Actually Trying. Same podcast, new name, new format. This week: have a lot of women got undiagnosed ADHD, or are we all just weird? I'm seeing a psychiatrist in two days. Old Ma thinks we should go back to the five original lunacies. She held that position for about ten minutes, until she found out there might be some legal speed in it for her.

A field report (and Guru & Granny) featuring Japanese walking, Hot Girl Walks, movement after meals, and using the Steppin app to earn screen time through steps.

This week I’m testing whether walking really is the closest thing we have to a magic pill - and whether I can get my steps up without becoming the sort of person pacing the kitchen at 10pm to hit 10,000.
