description: Take a trip down memory lane with these nostalgic storecupboard heroes, from luncheon meats to powdered desserts and steamed puddings in a tin
encoded: Your kitchen storecupboard today probably looks quite different from the 1980s, when tinned meat, packet noodles and powdered desserts were indispensable, and the microwave transitioned from a luxury item to a household essential. According to new research from Waitrose, the taste of the 80s is growing in popularity– nearly half of UK adults (48%) say 1980s dishes are making a comeback as they seek a return to practical, nostalgic ingredients. Lizzie Haywood, Senior Trend Innovation Manager at Waitrose, says: “The 80s were a bold, expressive era for food, and we’re seeing that sense of fun come back in a big way." Waitrose has also seen a rising trend for quick, no-fuss nostalgic convenience foods, reflected in sales data: Princes Corned Beef (340g) is up 32% YoY. Together with the second series of Rivals coming out on Disney+ this week, it's clear to see the 1980s are back in vogue. For a good old nostalgia hit, we asked people who lived through this inventive decade for their favourite kitchen staples – read on to discover which ones fell out of fashion and which ones we still eat today. 1. Spam <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/30/2026/05/GettyImages-505891858-d00ba93.jpg" width="6433" height="4391" alt="Miami,Florida, USA - May 31, 2015: Open Can of SPAM and seven unopened cans of SPAM isolated on a white background.

Reliable and easy to store, this convenience food was prized as budget-friendly comfort food, and chances are your grandparents hoarded it as if it were still the war.

description: Most people regain most of their lost weight after stopping GLP-1s. Here are the expert ways to stay in control
encoded: Nearly 7 per cent of the UK population are using (or have used) GLP-1 weight-loss medications, with millions more considering them. But, while these drugs have transformed the weight-loss landscape, there are a few quieter, less talked-about challenges. First off, despite the effectiveness of the medications, half of people choose to stop taking them – whether that’s due to side effects (around 15 per cent of users find these too disruptive to continue taking the drugs), cost or because they’ve reached their weight-loss goal. A US study also suggests that only 6 per cent of people taking them plan to be on them long term, despite the fact that many clinicians view obesity as a chronic condition and GLP-1s as long-term treatments. Secondly, what happens when you stop matters, and research suggests this transition isn’t always straightforward. In one landmark trial, participants regained around two-thirds of their lost weight within a year of stopping taking semaglutide. More recent research that pooled 48 studies confirmed the pattern: 60 per cent of weight lost is typically regained by the end of the first year, and up to 75 per cent by year two. Regained weight tends to plateau, meaning around 25 per cent of the original loss is often maintained in the long term. As a registered dietitian specialising in women’s health and performance nutrition and with a PhD in public health, I’ve spent the past two decades helping people navigate weight, health and behaviour change. Increasingly, my work centres on supporting women through this exact transition – figuring out what life looks like next. It's why I wrote my new book, Life After Weight Loss Medications, which is designed to be a practical handbook for sustaining a healthy weight once the medication stops (plus recipes and weekly meal plans). The 4 ways to stay on track after weight-loss drugs Within clinic, the questions I hear are often the same: “My appetite is back – have I lost control?” “The food noise is back …

description: Richly flavoured, crema-topped coffee in under 30 seconds without the faff of loose grinds. Interested? Read on for our selection of the best coffee pod machines
encoded: The ultimate shortcut to achieving quick, convenient coffees, all the best coffee pod machines have a similar basic function: the user loads in a coffee pod, presses a button, and the machine then pumps hot water from an in-built reservoir, through the pod, and into a cup as coffee. The great merit to these is that the 'messy bits' of coffee making are taken off your hands – namely the grinding, dosing and tamping of grounds. This makes the whole process from start to finish quicker and removes the need for these gadgets to have sophisticated tech, like the burr grinders of bean-to-cup coffee machines or espresso machine accessories like portafilters, which need cleaning after every use.
