I ate simply, meaning that getting veggies (and meat) and grains from the store and making an ordinary meal. In general nothing with instructions or ingredients on it. Just "what you see is what you get" kind of stuff.
That included bread, which is technically processed grains, but if you take the brown healthy kind, I consider that unprocessed food.
No jam, peanutbutter ect. Simple stuff. No industrial additives. In Europe, these are coded with numbers preceded with "E", like E217. They are consevators, tasty enhancers, artificial flavors and smell, that are "approved" by European health standards, like the FDA in the US. It basically means they are not a serious health risk, whatever long term effect they may have.
So I don't know who to believe. If my energy is the same, that means subjectively these additives are not harmful to me, and I can trust the food authorities. But if Steve is right they are a bad judge, and I am not feeling better because something is still keeping my energy down. But what?
