Avoid Refined Highly Palatable Foods

Avoid cheap, highly refined, hyper-palatable foods, including foods high in added sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and unnaturally high-fat processed foods. The discussion highlights that these foods can promote overeating and may disrupt reward circuitry; one example given was food that is about 60% fat, 'like butter.' High-fructose corn syrup was noted as being present in many foods, even bread.
