Mine is that I've been traveling a bit for 37 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 3: work lately, and I was up in Sydney last week actually, 38 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 3: and the two nights I was up there, I was like, 39 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 3: I could lay in my hotel room and you know, 40 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 3: have a quiet time, which is always really especially having 41 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: three young children. But I also could meet a one 42 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: on one, you know, have a one on one dinner 43 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 3: or someone with someone that I haven't seen in ages 44 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 3: or would like to and that would be really nice. 45 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: So did that both nights. First night was with my 46 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 3: brother in law, which they're based in Sydney works they're 47 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 3: living Northern Beaches, but he works in the city, so 48 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 3: it was just him and I and that was just 49 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 3: so lovely. And then the next night we were up 50 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 3: there for our simply wholesome pantry team and awards day, 51 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: and usually it's the five of us all together, three guys, 52 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 3: two girls, and it was just Cat and I the 53 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 3: other female in our team that stayed on for the 54 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 3: night and we went out to dinner and just both nights, 55 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 3: I kind of reflected on the last week and sort 56 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 3: of thought that was just really special. You don't often 57 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 3: get with both those people. With Cat, it's always in 58 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 3: a work environment, we're always hustling, We're always like, Okay, 59 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 3: what can we do next? Product develpment and all of 60 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 3: this sort of jazz. And then with sim and my 61 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 3: brother in law, it's always big family things where people 62 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: are around. So it was just lovely to spend some 63 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: quality time, have good human connection and in the night 64 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 3: being like that was just really special. 65 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and like taking advantage of that opportunity to have 66 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: one on one time with someone that you might not 67 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: otherwise necessarily. 68 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. So my life lesson from that was not 69 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 3: all the time, because I feel like it can exhaust 70 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: you if you're doing it all the time. But just 71 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 3: when you're thinking, oh I should reach out to that person, 72 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna do it. 73 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 2: I love that you what's yourself? 74 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,399 Speaker 1: My life lesson of the week is that sometimes it's 75 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: best to listen to the smartest person in the room. 76 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: What did I say? 77 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: You don't always need to know the answer to every 78 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: single question, and sometimes it is better to leave it 79 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: up to the experts and lean on somebody else who 80 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: does have the expertise in something to guide you in 81 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: the right direction. And that's okay to like release the 82 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: reins on things a little bit and you don't have 83 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: to know everything. That's a great reminder, especially for women, 84 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: when other natural born fixes. I think it's just in 85 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: our genes and in our biology that we often feel 86 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: we need to fix problems for friends if they're sad, 87 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: or for our children, or for ourselves in workplaces where 88 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: the first people to step in and be like, let 89 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: me help, And when the problem is our own, we 90 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: very often don't end up asking for help and take 91 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: on those challenges and problems on our own. And so 92 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: I think that's a really good reminder for those listening 93 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: that for anyone listening, if you are trying to fix 94 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: something right now, maybe try look for someone else to 95 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: help you. Because problems share problems halved. 96 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, well, my life. 97 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 4: Lesson of the week is actually a life lesson for you, 98 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 4: sou because after this episode we're going to go thrifting 99 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 4: and vintage shopping. And study suggests spending money on a 100 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 4: best friend may boost health and longevity. So one published 101 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 4: in Health Psychology found that older adults with high blood 102 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 4: pressure saw significant reductions when they spend money on others, 103 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 4: so affects similar to those of medication or exercise. So 104 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 4: I'm trying to help you live longer and enjoy your time. 105 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 4: So today I wanted to have that front of mine. 106 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 4: Feel free, chicks to send this to a friend. You 107 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 4: are you know, going shopping or going out really help 108 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 4: your friends live longer and help them spend money on you. 109 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,799 Speaker 2: You're a good Samaritan. Thank you, Thank you do try. 110 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. Okay, well, let's get into the episode because we've 111 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 4: got a lot to get into. So, as we said 112 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 4: at the start of the episode, there is a lot 113 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 4: of nutrition information online in media, and unfortunately it's hard 114 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 4: to tell the difference between accurate or completeble. One thing 115 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 4: that we'd love to learn more about that we're seeing 116 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 4: so much, and I would say, is like the buzzword 117 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 4: of nutrition is protein, and this thirty gram rule, yeah, 118 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 4: can you talk. 119 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: Us through it? 120 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 3: Definitely, So it is very much a buzzword at the moment. 121 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 3: It's very much the health you know, item that everyone's 122 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 3: loving and jumping on at the moment. Protein's been around forever. 123 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 3: Just to give a little bit of context, protein is 124 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: one of our main energy sources that our body uses, 125 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: alongside carbohydrate and fat. All three are wonderful energy sources. 126 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 3: They're not bad, they're not demons. Carbohydrate aren't you know, 127 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 3: terrible things. Fat's not a terrible thing. It's our body 128 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 3: uses the energy from those macro nutrients in different ways. 129 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 3: The reason that protein's kind of having its moment at 130 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 3: the moment is because it is a more slow releasing energy. 131 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 3: So when we eat foods that contain protein, depending on 132 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 3: it's get we get really good results in terms of 133 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: our blood blood sugar levels after we eat the right protein. 134 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 3: And so therefore it plays into a whole lot of 135 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: different things our energy levels, our moods, our hormones. But 136 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: it's also responsible for lots of other things, like it's 137 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 3: directly linked with our immune systems. So eating good amounts 138 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 3: of protein in the right amounts alongside a lot of 139 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 3: other things, has a direct effect on our immune function. 140 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 3: So in terms of how much we should be eating 141 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 3: in a day, because there's so much information about that 142 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 3: out there as well, a really rough guide in this 143 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: plays into the thirty grams across your meals, but you 144 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: should be sort of saying about one gram of protein 145 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: per kilogram of your body weight. So that's kind of 146 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 3: a nice guide for people to go. So if I 147 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 3: weigh seventy kilos, I'm going for seventy grams of protein 148 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 3: throughout my day. Okay that is, And you'll probably hear 149 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 3: me say this a few times today, which is a 150 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 3: really annoying answer. There's no one right answer because with nutrition, 151 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 3: everyone is so different and depending on your health goal 152 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 3: and how much, how old you are, what gender you are, 153 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 3: how active you are, that will all play a part 154 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: in how much you should be having. But a rough 155 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: guide is one gram of protein per kilogram, So going 156 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: into the thirty grams that is, I mean, that's kind 157 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 3: of a new thing that's come out. Yeah, Usually they 158 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 3: say within a meal, aiming a good amount of protein 159 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 3: in a meal is twenty to thirty grams. So as 160 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,239 Speaker 3: long as you're sort of going for that. You don't 161 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 3: have to be fixated on the thirty gram. It's not 162 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 3: going to mean that, you know, you get ticks of 163 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 3: approval for whatever. It's sort of like, if you're going 164 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 3: for your rough amount over the day seventy grams, breaking 165 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: that up across your meals is also more important to 166 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 3: do rather than aiming for exactly thirty grams in a meal. 167 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 4: I agree, and I'm really glad you also did say 168 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 4: that it's not specific, this is very general, and everyone 169 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 4: absolutely should be getting this customized to themselves and their 170 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 4: body and also what they're comfortable with, because, like what 171 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 4: you're saying, numbers and diet and nutrition can be a 172 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 4: very scary seeing and thinking that you're a failure. 173 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 2: And I've had this with all this. 174 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 4: Content of being like thirty grands eadyg and like, and 175 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: it can be very overwhelming and you feel because eating 176 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 4: and food, especially women, can be a very slippery slope 177 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 4: and as soon as you start being like if I 178 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 4: didn't do this, I failed with eating today, it's just 179 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 4: not good to go for that goal. So I'm very 180 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 4: very glad that you did say that as bit restrictive 181 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 4: as well, and I think you know in terms of 182 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 4: habits as women, I feel like, at least anecdotally, we 183 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 4: don't eat as much protein and it's just not something 184 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 4: that you know we do, and it is something that 185 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 4: I think a lot of people are realizing. Yeah, it 186 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 4: can be a great way to get energy and fuel 187 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 4: your body. So what ask some tricks and habits to 188 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 4: get more protein into our meals every day? 189 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 3: Sure, So I I'm not going to say that you know, 190 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 3: package protein bars and protein powders are shared, because they're not. 191 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: But I always say try and go for real food 192 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 3: as much as possible, and so all you need to 193 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 3: do as well. Again, because it's kind of hard to 194 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 3: be very specific, but Google or use chat GPT to 195 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 3: give you a list of protein rich foods that you 196 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 3: can include at breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it will 197 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 3: give you a hole. So at breakfast, you know, things 198 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: like cottage cheese, greek yogurt, seeds, nuts, cheese seeds, things 199 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 3: like that into smoothie. Is that kind of thing that's 200 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 3: a good way to get, you know, some added protein 201 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: in your breakfast. If you're getting to lunchtime, canned tuna, 202 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 3: canned salmon, any kind of canned beans, legumes, you know, 203 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: white beans, chickpeas, lentils, grains, any type of grains, lean meats, 204 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 3: all of that. They're all protein rich foods. And then 205 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 3: that's almost similar for dinner. You're probably looking more if 206 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 3: you're a meat eater, but you're lean meat. So your chicken, 207 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: you fish, your salmon, all very high in protein, really 208 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 3: great alongside again going for those sort of whole grains, 209 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 3: sort of lentils, pulses, beans, that kind of thing, or 210 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 3: you know, you can look at because I know how 211 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 3: much people love their pasta, how do I and we 212 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 3: might get into that. I'd imagine, yeah, but it's scared. 213 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 3: But I would say now they have sort of different 214 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 3: And I'm not saying every time you eat pasta you 215 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 3: have to have a lentil pasta, but there are different 216 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: options out there now that do have increased levels of 217 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 3: protein that you can go for. 218 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 4: I was going to ask your opinion on that, because 219 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 4: we're seeing more things like protein pasta and protein bread. Yes, 220 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 4: And I'm like, what are your thoughts on that? 221 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 3: The breads the pasta I quite like and I've studied, 222 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 3: like I've looked into their nutriper I always say as well, 223 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 3: which is often overwhelming, but try and turn it over 224 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 3: and look at the ingredients and sort of see what's 225 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 3: in there. A lot of the time bread is sort 226 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 3: of already so overprocessed when it gets on a supermarket 227 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 3: shelf than if it is adding protein at that stage. Yeah, 228 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 3: while you might be getting the increased protein, you're also 229 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 3: just getting the whole process that has happened to the 230 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 3: bread as opposed to just buying a beautiful sour dough 231 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 3: down at your local cafe kind of thing. So that's 232 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 3: what's really hard. It's sort of like, oh, cool, well 233 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 3: I need to eat meal protein, so I'll go for 234 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: the bread that's been fortified with protein, but it's been 235 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 3: through a million different processes to get there, yea. Or 236 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 3: do you just buy the beautiful whole grain sowdo down 237 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 3: at the local cafe that's going to fuel your body 238 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 3: in other great ways. So it is about what's important 239 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 3: to you and your health goals and what you're aiming. 240 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 2: And that's what I like about what you said before. 241 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 4: And just then as well is fat, cubs and protein 242 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 4: and none of those are demons, None of those are 243 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 4: evil that you can go and have the very romantic 244 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 4: morning stroll in the crisp egg, get your coffee, and 245 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 4: get that gorgeous, warm, sourdough bread, and that is still 246 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 4: going to fuel your body. 247 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 2: And it's not a bad habit that you're doing that and. 248 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 3: Packed with fiber. That's what you've got. A way up, 249 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: it's sort of we're moving to you know now people 250 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 3: are looking at bread and thinking that it's a terrible 251 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 3: thing and there's guilty involved with eating a beautiful piece 252 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 3: of bread that's been made by human hands and gone 253 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: through the traditional process of bread made that our grandmothers 254 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 3: used to do, which is the way of eating we 255 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 3: should be trying to get back to. So it is, yeah, 256 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 3: I think through diet culture and advertising and media and 257 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 3: the way that women should look and all that shit 258 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: that we've lost a bit of you know what's just 259 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 3: common sense and real and you know, so, yes, it's 260 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 3: it's a bit of a I wish we had more 261 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 3: than you know, half an hour to an hour today 262 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: because there's so much you could go through with our 263 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 3: screwed up our minds have become with the diet world 264 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 3: and eating and how we should just really strip it 265 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 3: back as simplify it rather than over complicating it. 266 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you did mention fiber as well, which, speaking 267 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: of trends, fiber is also having her time in the 268 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: sun at the moment. Why is fiber so important? 269 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: Love fiber. So, fiber is a carbohydrate, so we get 270 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 3: fiber from carbohydrates. So again, carbohydrates shouldn't be demonized. They're 271 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 3: not a villain the thing within carbs. So this is 272 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 3: you know, and this goes through health trends of our past. 273 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 3: But the reason car carbs have their you know, negative 274 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 3: connotation to them is that within carbs, you've got simple 275 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 3: carbs and then you've got complex carbs. Underneath complex carves 276 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 3: is where your fiber comes in. And there's different sorts 277 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 3: of fiber and they react really well in our bodies, 278 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: so they still give you that slow releasing energy. You know, 279 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 3: your blood glucose after eating a meal won't be spiked 280 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: when you're eating the right you know a good amount 281 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 3: of fiber things alongside your other good things too, But 282 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 3: it's it definitely holds a place in your whole gut 283 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 3: and digestive tract and getting that really on track with 284 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 3: a whole lot of different things you can eat that 285 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 3: contain fiber. But then the other side of carbs is 286 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 3: your simple sugars, and this is where so you'll find 287 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 3: simple sugars in natural things like fruits, so you know, 288 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 3: like a plum and all of that. That very simple 289 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 3: yet exactly just saying dreaming of plums. But then there's 290 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 3: it's all so the sugar that's added to all our 291 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 3: process foods, so you fruked dose, your glucoset's just thrown 292 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 3: into package and process foods. And so we do need 293 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 3: simple sugars and they do hold a place, But that's 294 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 3: where the whole carbohydrates being demonized because usually when we 295 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: eat those types of carbs, those simple sugars will get 296 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 3: a really quick rise in our blood sugar levels after 297 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: we've eaten them, and you know, they don't really fill 298 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 3: you up for very long. You're usually hungry. Not too 299 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: long after. You might be choosing you know, shitty choices 300 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 3: because you're like, I'm just starving, I'm not feeling full. 301 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 3: So that's where that kind of whole era of like 302 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 3: oh my god, let's bam, the carbs they're terrible came in. 303 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, right, so blood sugar, how do blood sugar spikes 304 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 4: affect our day to day energy and how can we 305 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 4: balance it without obsessing. 306 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so blood sugar is very interesting and I 307 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 3: feel like that's sort of starting to have its well pla, yeah, 308 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: because really blood sugar has a big If you've heard 309 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 3: of diabetes, that's it's all relative to your blood sugar. 310 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: So what you eat and then what happens after in 311 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 3: your body response in terms of your blood glucose. I 312 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 3: actually had gestational diabetes with all three of my pregnancies, 313 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 3: and it couldn't be usually if that, So it's a 314 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 3: weird you get diabetes for literally your nine months and 315 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 3: then it just disappears when you have But yeah, blood 316 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: gluecos is it's all to do with what we eat 317 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 3: and then the reaction of our body afterwards to do 318 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 3: with our blood glucose and our insulin. So that's where 319 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 3: fiber and protein play a wonderful role because they are 320 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 3: less likely to spike. So I'll give you the perfect example, 321 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 3: which I feel like your group of people will understand. McDonald's. Right, 322 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 3: all love a cheeky bit of McDonald's. I'm not going 323 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 3: to stand here and say I'm a nutritionist and I 324 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 3: don't love it at times. I also can't stand when 325 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 3: nutritionists say, oh, don't eat that, don't touch it, Like 326 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 3: it's like reality is, if people are going to eat it, 327 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 3: you may as well just say have it in moderation 328 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 3: rather than you know, getting hooked on it and having 329 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 3: it all the time. But that's a perfec example of 330 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 3: so you'll you'll eat a full meal. And this doesn't 331 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 3: happen with everyone. Again, everyone is different, but I've seen 332 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 3: it time and time again that you'll eat it and 333 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 3: you know, you feel good for a second and there's 334 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 3: energy and whatever, and then about forty five minutes later, 335 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 3: an hour later, you just get this energy slump yeah, 336 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 3: where you totally just feel lethargic, if you're tired, you 337 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 3: feel foggy, you're hungry again, Like it's like, what. 338 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 2: The hell an hour meal? 339 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm starving again. And that's kind of your 340 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 3: perfect example of where your blood glucose is spiked really quickly, 341 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,719 Speaker 3: insulin is released and then to bring it down and 342 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 3: then it's sort of moving through your body really quickly 343 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 3: because you're not it's not there's no protein or fiber 344 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 3: or anything to slow it down and to make you 345 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 3: feel full and to make you feel satisfied. So then 346 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 3: again you're going to eat, you know, an hour or 347 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 3: two later. 348 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 4: Do you ever get a lot of people asking you 349 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 4: about like gut health and bloating. 350 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, so gut health is another big one at the minute. 351 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 3: The gut, it's quite amazing. It's a whole, like they say, 352 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 3: it's sort of like your brain, your second brain. Now 353 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 3: that's all this amazing research has come out over the 354 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 3: last decade or even beyond. But how you know, your 355 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 3: gut pretty much controls everything, including a connection to your mind. 356 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 3: So it's interesting. Bloating can happen for lots of different reasons. 357 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 3: So I see gut in itself as your whole. It's 358 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 3: your whole sort of digestive system, which affects so much. 359 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 3: You know, if you've got a good, pretty much a 360 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 3: good healthy gut, then you're going to generally be okay 361 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 3: everywhere else. But bloating can be a symptom of lots 362 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 3: of things, so it's not direct, it's not I don't 363 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 3: see them as kind of related or matched, because you know, 364 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 3: you can have bloating from depending where you are in 365 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 3: a menstrual cycle, which sort of doesn't necessarily have anything 366 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 3: to do with your gut. Kind of thing. So, and 367 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 3: bloating can be caused by Usually it's just a build 368 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 3: up of gas in your gut. But you know, maybe 369 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 3: you're not eating the right foods. Maybe you've built an 370 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 3: intolerance to and you don't know it, so you're eating 371 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 3: gluten or fruc dose and it's obviously affecting you. It 372 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 3: can be formed from eating too many, too much highly 373 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 3: processed foods, so a lot of shit basically all the time, 374 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 3: and not you know, bringing in that protein and fiber 375 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 3: and veggies and all of that sort of jazz. So 376 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 3: there's lots of different reasons for which makes it tricky. 377 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to go back to blood sugar because 378 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 4: I find this really interesting and I kind of want 379 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 4: to understand how we can develop a good process with this. 380 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 4: With our meals, and there's a lot we get told 381 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 4: a lot that breakfast is the most important meal of 382 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 4: the day. 383 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 2: Right, Yes, how why talk me through it? 384 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 3: So there's research to suggest that you know, you get up, 385 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 3: you have breky, it's going to sort of kickstart your body, 386 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 3: your metabolism, your mind, that kind of thing. But it 387 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 3: really again annoying answer. But I'll explain why it's so 388 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 3: different for everyone. So some people find, you know, and 389 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 3: even with intimatet fasting and things like that, people find 390 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 3: that they can miss breakfast or skip breakfast and it 391 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 3: doesn't that's the way that they roll best. And they're like, yep, 392 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 3: I'm happy. I jump out of bed, I go for 393 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 3: my run, I have my coffee, whatever else I'm functioning. 394 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 3: I'm working and I don't eat till twelve o'clock and 395 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 3: I have lunch. If that works for you, that's great, 396 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 3: And there's been positive research with inter minute fasting in 397 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: relation to that. But for me personally, I have to 398 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 3: have breakfast within the first hour, hour and a half 399 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 3: of getting up. I just find it. It starts me 400 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 3: up more mentally than anything. And then but also I 401 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 3: find the days that you know, having three kids and 402 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 3: trying to get them out the door and working full time, I'll, 403 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 3: you know, shove a half piece of bread in my 404 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 3: of toast in my mouth while I'm running out the door, 405 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 3: and then forty five minutes later, I am ravenous and 406 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 3: I just eat shit because I'm like, oh, I didn't 407 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 3: make anything healthy. I'm out and about now I'll buy 408 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 3: that wrap that you know, it's like and so it 409 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 3: does come down to if you argu and it, if 410 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 3: you think you work better on getting up and having 411 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 3: breakfast in the morning, then try and opt for a 412 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 3: kind of well balanced breakfast that does have a bit 413 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 3: of that protein, that fiber, something that's going to fill 414 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 3: you up. Don't be scared of having a piece of 415 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 3: toast or bread or whatever. Eggs are amazing to keep 416 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 3: you full of for longer, but make sure you're trying 417 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 3: to eat enough in the morning that then it's going 418 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 3: to have a positive effect. It was interesting. Actually, my 419 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: husband's done inter minute fasting four or five years now, yeah, 420 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 3: and loves it. He swears by it. But only in 421 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 3: the last two months has he sort of started to switch. 422 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 3: Where he finds now he'll not have brekky and then 423 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 3: he'll wait till midday and he'll eat, but then by 424 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 3: three o'clock he's like, I could eat the whole pantry, 425 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: just give me a snack. Like now, whereas he finds 426 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 3: if he eats brekky and it doesn't have to be 427 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 3: a huge breaky, but just something like porridge or or 428 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 3: musley or eggs or whatever, then he'll have lunch as 429 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 3: normal and he doesn't need to snack it all till 430 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 3: dinner time. So again, it's so different for every person 431 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 3: and it depends on what you're eating. So yeah, I 432 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 3: I love having brecky. Yeah. 433 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: I also think it's interesting that you did mention fasting 434 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: and how for example, for your husband that worked really 435 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: well for years and then now it's changed. 436 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 2: So it's even like with these trends. 437 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: They work for some people, but you know, even you, yourself, 438 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,479 Speaker 1: can evolve and you will have different needs. What are 439 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: your thoughts on wellness trends like fasting or seed cycling 440 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: or green powders. 441 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 3: Oh, god load, I'll be polide about green powders. 442 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 2: Oh don't. You don't have to be. 443 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 3: They're not all total bullshit. But I just am like, 444 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: it is amazing what people will sell and what not 445 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 3: what people will buy actually, because I feel like they 446 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 3: sell it well. But you know that is so overprised 447 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 3: that's usually been really processed in a factory, that might 448 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: sit on a shelf for a long long time and 449 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 3: lose the actual nutritional value that 's within it, depending 450 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 3: on how it's stored, where it's stored, how long it's 451 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 3: stored for, and you know people are paying so much 452 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 3: money for these things when I always say you can 453 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 3: get it from real food, Like, just throw two handfuls 454 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 3: of spinach in your smoothie and there's essentially your greens 455 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 3: powder for the day. This morning, I even just threw 456 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 3: a whole bag of spinach in the fry pad, lemon juice, salt, pepper, 457 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 3: Just eat that green powder. I know, not everyone you 458 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 3: know it's easy to throw a scoop of something, but 459 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 3: it's I just with that sort of stuff. I'm like, again, 460 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 3: it's being over complicated for what it really is. And 461 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 3: real food is always if you can the better option. 462 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 4: What is the biggest nutrition myth that you wish more 463 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 4: women knew. 464 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 3: That you need to restrict or remove unless you have 465 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 3: a medical, you know, diagnosis of you know, celiac or 466 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 3: something like that, that you need to restrict or remove 467 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 3: certain groups or certain foods out of your diet to 468 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 3: be healthy is a big one. I think, you know, 469 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 3: going back to calves and different types of it's keto 470 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 3: data and did it like it's it's sort of none 471 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 3: of doing any of that is going to necessarily make 472 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 3: you healthy. And if you're including you know, your right 473 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: foods in a balanced way. Most of the time, then 474 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 3: you're on the best path to your overall kind of 475 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 3: best version of yourself health nutrition wise. And I always 476 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 3: say a nice little rule. This is some a bit 477 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 3: of a tip. This is different if you're cooking like 478 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 3: a one pot on the stove or like a soup 479 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 3: where everything's thrown together. But if you look at your plate, 480 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,719 Speaker 3: usually we say about half of your plate should be 481 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 3: fruits or veggies, so packed full of any fruits or veggies, 482 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 3: raw or cook doesn't matter. And then a quarter of 483 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 3: your plate should be those complex carbs, so those rather 484 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 3: than the ones. And I know we love our pasta. 485 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 3: There's still a place for white pasta, but usually more 486 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 3: that brown rice, those whole grains, lentils, pulses, things like potato, 487 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 3: sweet potato, potato. And then you've got your complex carbs 488 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 3: and then your lean proteins in whatever form that is, 489 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 3: whether it's meat or plant based. But you know your eggs, 490 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 3: your fear, your toe for your tempe, any kind of lenk, poultry, 491 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 3: all of that sort of stuff. So that kind of 492 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 3: gives you a little bit of a when you're making 493 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 3: up a bowl for a complete meal. That's a way 494 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 3: that kind of can help you build it. 495 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 4: I have a question because this is something that I 496 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 4: personally get confused with when cooking, and all the information 497 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 4: about it is oil, and like I don't really understand anything, 498 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 4: Like I feel like I'm told to use different oils 499 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 4: for different reasons, and I kind of just want to 500 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 4: buy one fucking oil because it's like eighteen dollars bottles, 501 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 4: and then it's like use this much, Now use this spray, 502 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 4: Now use anah. 503 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 3: Huh yet, So I would say, go olive oil, and 504 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 3: it can be used for most things. So there were 505 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 3: there were myths to say that olive oil doesn't have 506 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 3: a smart high smoke point, so it burns when you 507 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 3: cook with it. That's actually not very true. So I 508 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 3: would say olive oil. If you can afford it, I'd 509 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 3: say extra virgin olive oil. Just the process in bottle, 510 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 3: in what goes into the bottle and how it's made 511 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 3: is slightly better because you're keeping, let's put it this way, 512 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 3: more nutrients in the actual oil. But then you know, 513 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 3: there's also a place for when I'm Asian cooking, I'll 514 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 3: use peanut oil and I'll use sesame oil and things 515 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 3: like that because for taste exactly. It's for taste, and 516 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 3: a tablespoon at the start of your dinner is not 517 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 3: a big problem. But in most of my day to 518 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 3: day cooking in my pan, frying, salad, dressing, things like that, 519 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 3: go for olive oil. 520 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 4: Okay, thank you, because it's been very overwhelming, like you 521 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 4: sunseeed oil and canola oil and and I'm like, which, 522 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 4: it's fucking oil. 523 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 3: And it's confusing. There's just the thing about canola and 524 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 3: sunflower and that's those sorts of oil is they contain 525 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 3: different fats that aren't great for our bodies. So extra 526 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 3: virgin olive oil is your best and also healthy fats 527 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 3: Omega three and six are in that kind of way. 528 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 4: I'm Italian, so we've always had like the jug and 529 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 4: the fact that that motherfucker would last. But when we 530 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 4: run out, it's like the second term you buy oil 531 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 4: in the year, like mom will be like can you 532 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 4: get the oil, and you're. 533 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 2: Like, I can't lift that shit. 534 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: Well. I also feel like every nanna and yah yah 535 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: like you know, says that their long life is due 536 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: to use of. 537 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 4: Olive oil and one glass of red wine. 538 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, the medi training diet, and so that's where it 539 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 3: shouldn't actually be called a diet because technically it's not. 540 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 3: It's a lifestyle, which I've never advocated for diets. I 541 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 3: fucking hate them and I think they send women and 542 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 3: people crazy. But if you want to look up the 543 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 3: meta training diet, that is generally the way that I 544 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 3: like to eat most of my days. Yeah. But as 545 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 3: you say, the social aspect of it, whether it is 546 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 3: with family or close friends or relatives or whoever you 547 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 3: share a meal with, it's actually about human connection and 548 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 3: bringing people together. And that's what as intense and full 549 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 3: on as it sounds, that's what it is. So then 550 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 3: to put the whole negative side on it about you 551 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 3: should be this way and restrict this, and this is 552 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 3: not good for you, and I got these abs by 553 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 3: eating this. This is like, it just destroys it all. 554 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 3: So I wish there was an easy vibe. 555 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 4: Killer. 556 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 3: Yeah it is, So try and have that in your mind. 557 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 3: You know, when you're going to the table. It is 558 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 3: meant to be about enjoyment and love and bringing people together. 559 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 2: Sit down and say, what's am I bringing the vibes? 560 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, Marina vibes. Yeah, I love that. 561 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: But we are two broke chicks, so of course we 562 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: love a money tip. Do you have any advice on 563 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: or tips on how to build a nutritional but affordable 564 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: grocery list? 565 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 3: Sure? So I think the first this is before your 566 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 3: actual grocery list. But as boring as it sounds, I 567 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 3: really sound like a middle aged mom of three kids here, 568 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 3: but meal planning is like real, I know you guys 569 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 3: are probably too young for meal planning. No, no, no, no, 570 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 3: I really like that because I feel like meal planning 571 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 3: is step one. Yeah, looking at like you look at 572 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,959 Speaker 3: your weakerhead, You're like, maybe you know, I mean Melbourne 573 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 3: two nights doesn't matter, or I'm out for two nights 574 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 3: for work, they don't matter. I'm going to plan for 575 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 3: three or four meals. And so you kind of look 576 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 3: at wherever you look for recipes, whether it's on social media, 577 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 3: whether it's in books, whatever, and then you write out 578 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 3: your list. And the biggest thing I find is you 579 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 3: sort of you can kind of choose recipes to cross 580 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 3: over so you're not buying multiple different ingredients, but then 581 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 3: sticking to your list as much as possible. And think 582 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 3: meal planning is good because then you're done. It's like 583 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 3: all in your fridge and cupboard for the week. But 584 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 3: what I used to do in my twenties is I 585 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 3: would go to like pre kids and stuff. I'd go 586 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 3: to the supermarket like five times a week because I 587 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 3: just never planned it, and I'd finish work and i'd 588 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 3: roll into a supermarket, and especially sometimes i'd choose a 589 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 3: gourmet supermarket, which was I used to be a primary 590 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 3: school teacher and it was right near there, and I'd 591 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 3: go in and I'd spend one hundred dollars that I 592 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,239 Speaker 3: did not have. And also, if you go in when 593 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 3: you're hungry, yes, more in my trolley. I'm hungry. I 594 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 3: always make sure i'm not, because otherwise I'll be like, oh, 595 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 3: those chips. 596 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 2: Are good, Like oh, yeah, what did I buy? 597 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 3: Did I buy that? So looking to your list, trying 598 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 3: to go once maybe twice a week, because otherwise you're 599 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 3: not impulse buying and throwing you know, four or five 600 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 3: extra things in your basket that you just don't need 601 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 3: or you think you feel like that night, but you know, 602 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 3: and then just get smart about actual groceries. So meat's 603 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 3: really expensive, so try and have more meat free nights. 604 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 3: If you really do need your meat, go for cheaper 605 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 3: cuts or cheaper options. So mince is a really good one. 606 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 3: It's usually Yeah, I love mince. 607 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 2: It gets a bad round getting into turkey mints. 608 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, tyre. Yeah, it's more an American thing. Yeah, but 609 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 3: it's great. 610 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 4: It's just psychoaglic bowl with like sweet potato, turkey, mince 611 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 4: cheese and then tomato and onion with lime juice on 612 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 4: it and sour cream. 613 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 3: It is my favorite, and men the whole world, mince 614 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 3: in any type of roles is great like that, Yeah, 615 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 3: so go for mince. Mince is awesome. Frozen vege frozen berries, 616 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 3: So don't ever only buy berries if they're less than 617 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 3: four three. 618 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 2: Bucks aupun it, which never happened yes. 619 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 3: Summer, So I'm always frozen berries, any frozen vege. Often 620 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 3: they're better for you nutritionally because they're snap frozen at 621 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 3: the time that they're harvested. So don't think that frozen 622 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 3: veg ues are a shitty option. Or you know, look 623 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 3: what's in season.
