During the periods when participants ate fewer ultraprocessed foods, they naturally consumed fewer calories and lost weight, including total and abdominal body fat. Beyond weight loss, they also showed meaningful improvements in insulin sensitivity, healthier cholesterol levels, fewer signs of inflammation, and favorable changes in hormones that help regulate appetite and metabolism.

To achieve that physique, Damon said he cut one thing out of his diet. "I literally, just because of this other thing I did with my doctor, stopped eating gluten," Damon said.
