<v Speaker 1>friend of the pod now you've been on a number

0:00:59.320 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>of times.

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much, Felicity.

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 3>I do love talking to you and I think I

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 3>look forward to it most because you and I are

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 3>very aligned in our health approach. We well. What I

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 3>hope and I definitely hope the listeners agree, is that

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 3>we're practical about how we view health, but we also

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 3>want to make it achievable for everybody, because health is

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 3>something that we should all be able to take into

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 3>our own hands in each and every day.

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're speak in my language. I do agree. And

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.919
<v Speaker 1>one thing you know, we both agree on. I think

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, as listeners of this podcast will know, sometimes

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>A get a bit hesitant talking about weight loss and

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a bit icky and I don't know how to

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.479
<v Speaker 1>and often I'm like, Okay, people still want to lose weight,

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>but how do we do it the healthy way? But

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.679
<v Speaker 1>talk to us about what this latest research has found.

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, look, I'm with you.

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 3>Weight loss can become a bit of an ick if

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 3>that's the only conversation we're having and it's about losing

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 3>weight being skinny, restriction, deprivation.

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 2>But new data from.

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 3>My fitness Felt, which is the number one food and

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 3>nutrition tracking app in the world, has showed that eighty

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 3>percent of Australian users that log in opt to say

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 3>that losing weight is their primary goal. Now, the reason

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 3>we're talking about this research is that the new data

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 3>also reveals that September is the month where Ossie's are

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 3>gearing up to start their health and fitness journeys. Right now,

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 3>you and I both use my fitness well, because we

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 3>know that knowledge is power. But if you've got someone

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 3>going on who goes, oh my goodness, it's September October.

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 3>I need to get fit, I need to get beach ready.

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 3>I need to lose weight. I step in as a

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.119
<v Speaker 3>health expert, and I imagine you would too, and go,

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 3>all right, You're allowed to lose weight if you have

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 3>excess weight that you're carrying, But how are you going

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:47.239
<v Speaker 3>to do that properly, sustainably and also in the right

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 3>way that keeps it off long term?

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well said, I mean to that, So give us

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the answer.

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Adam out a nutshell, crowding out your plate, okay, And

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 3>it's all about celebrating the three macros that in balance.

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 3>The hero macro for me to lose weight but to

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 3>stay feeling full of for longer and to repair and

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 3>grow and feel fantastic is protein. But whilst I'm going

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 3>to talk to you about protein today massively, the key

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 3>is finding a really good balance between good quality protein,

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 3>nutrient dense healthy fats, and smart calves. Because protein, fat

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 3>and calves, they're are three key macro nutrients and we

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 3>need all of them to survive, function and thrive in

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 3>all the things that we do each day, whether it's

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 3>picking up our kids to lift them up in the sky,

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 3>or it's going to the gym and lifting weights or

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 3>simply stretching.

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>In yoga or pilates. We need these macro nutrients.

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 3>They fuel us. But if your goal, your primary goal

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 3>is to lose weight, protein, crowding out your plate with

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 3>heaps of protein and then fats and calves is a

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 3>really fantastic way to do that.

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Proteins is certainly having its moment, isn't it. I feel

0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>like it's see the headlines, I'm hearing people talk about it.

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>So give us some ideas and perhaps some swaps. So

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>let's focus on the plate of how we can fill

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>our plate with more protein.

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, a lot of people don't even know how much

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 3>protein they should be having.

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>Some of the recommendations.

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.039
<v Speaker 3>Out there worldwide are as little as zero point seven

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 3>zero point eight grams of protein per kilo of body weight.

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>But I'm the kind of.

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Guy and in my functional nutrition, I think a healthy

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.280
<v Speaker 3>amount of protein depending on who you are, whether it's

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.559
<v Speaker 3>your age, your gender, and your activity level, is one

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 3>to two grams of protein per kilo of body weight. Now,

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 3>for me, a forty year old guy, I train hard

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 3>most days of the week. I'm trying to gain and

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 3>hold onto lean muscle mass. So I have two grams

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 3>of protein per kilo of body weight per day. Now,

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 3>remember when you're having a one hundred and fifty gram

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 3>chicken breast, that's not one hundred and fifty grams of protein.

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.840
<v Speaker 3>Getting your thirty to forty grams of protein in that.

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean talking through the mass when it comes to protein.

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean sometimes I can go over our heads and think, okay,

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.599
<v Speaker 1>well what does that actually look like. Let's use you

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>as an example. What does it look like for you?

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Like what are you consuming to make and to build

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>those muscles?

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Now, I've got to remember this is a podcast.

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 1>So our listeners. He just gave me a big flex,

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>a massive flex, not as flex.

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.600
<v Speaker 3>I was actually trying to show off a clenched fist.

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Now I've got a fairly big hand. And what I

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 3>like to do is I like to make sure that

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 3>in each meal I am trying to or the equivalent

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 3>of a fist's worth of protein on my plate. Now

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 3>that might be a beautiful piece of free range chicken,

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 3>it could be some grass fed beef. It might be

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 3>a good quality seafood. It even could be plant based protein,

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 3>which is beans, pulses, and legumes. But protein is the

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 3>aim of the game. Now, once I've got about a

0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 3>fifth sized portion of protein on my plate, I crowd

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 3>out my plate with other epic things, good healthy fats

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 3>like avocados, nuts, and seeds, but also smart carbs.

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Now, if you're someone who's.

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 3>Needing a bit more energy and recovery, you might want

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.920
<v Speaker 3>to choose below ground, more starchy vegetables. But if you're

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 3>someone who's thinking, hey, I might I perform better on

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 3>a lower carb approach, you might celebrate all the beautiful,

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 3>abundant above ground vegetables like couliflower, broccoli, even pumpkin is fantastic.

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Fill your plate out like that.

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.479
<v Speaker 3>Now, when you do that, you will find your plate

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 3>doesn't have room fulfillers for all the stuff from packets

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 3>that's been processed that is not nutrient dense, And in.

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 1>Turn, perhaps it will keep you full of for longer,

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>and then you won't reach for those sweet snacks when

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 1>it comes to three o'clock in the evening, like okay,

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.599
<v Speaker 1>I need something sweet, And in turn, it's almost like

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.840
<v Speaker 1>you effortlessly loot Dare I say lose weight you do.

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 3>One of the things I like to tell people is

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 3>if you eat nutrient dense foods that were as nature intended,

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 3>it won't be that hard. The problem is with packaged, processed,

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 3>and refined foods. They're designed by big food to make

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 3>you want to eat more, buy more, and consume more

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 3>because they're in the business of you churning through that

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 3>and buying and buying and buying. When you eat this

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 3>real food, you do feel fuller for longer, and you're

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 3>less likely to snack, which is incredible.

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 2>So let's have two comparisons.

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Say you wake up and you're running late for work,

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 3>and you run out the door and you grab a

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 3>sweet treat from your local bakery and a coffee. You

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 3>are going to be starving mid morning, and those hunger

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 3>pans are going to potentially have you reaching for things

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 3>that are more processed and refined to.

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Give you that sugar or energy. Hit. Now, if you

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 2>do a little bit of forod thinking, a little bit

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 2>of preparation, maybe some meal prep, and you have a

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 2>high protein breakfast, you're going to feel so much fuller

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>for longer because it takes our body longer to break

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 2>down good quality protein and healthy fats, meaning that we're

0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 2>not going to really crave anything anytime soon.

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Now, while you are reaching for that healthy breakfast, you

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 1>need to talk me through this TikTok trend that I've

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 1>seen pop.

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Up about which one?

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which one? Okay, this one this week it's this one.

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Can adding a tea spin of cinnamon to your daily

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 1>coffee help burn fat and intern lose weight.

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.239
<v Speaker 3>I gotta laugh because I don't know. Going on TikTok

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 3>makes me feel very old for the city. I don't know,

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 3>me too, Yeah, but I go.

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 2>On there and I go what next?

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 3>So the data out there shows that even if you

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.720
<v Speaker 3>consumed about more than one point five grams a day,

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't actually have a significant effect. Now, my advice

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 3>to anyone out there would be, hey, rather than focusing

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 3>on something so small that doesn't even shift the dial,

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.959
<v Speaker 3>really doesn't even move the doll enough, why don't you
