1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome back to Bounce Forward with me. 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 2: Tip four, I'd like to acknowledge the traditional custody into 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 2: the land in which I'm. 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: Recording this podcasts, So we're undring people of the cooler nation. 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,240 Speaker 1: I pay my respects to elders past and present. 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 2: Now today we're hitting up part two of my chat 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: with Lindy Cohen, the Nude Nutritionist, and there is so 8 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: much to chat about, so let's get stuck straight into it. 9 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: I've heard of you talk about different types of hunger, 10 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: emotional hunger, mouth hunger. 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: Can you explain these a little bit better for us? 12 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 3: Well, physical hunger is the one we're all familiar with, right, 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 3: It's when we go, okay, there's a little pang in 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 3: my stomach. But if you are a dieter, you might 15 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 3: not even know what hunger feels like because typically we 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 3: eat in case of hunger because hunger has felt so 17 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 3: scary to us, we've let ourselves get so hungry in 18 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 3: the past. We can eat preemptively. We go I don't 19 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 3: want to get hungry, so I eat in case of hunger. 20 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 3: And so I think it's about forming a healthier relationship 21 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 3: with hunger as well. Ideally, you are going to be 22 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 3: hungry before every single time you eat. You know, You're 23 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 3: not just hop into the bathroom and going you know, 24 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna wing in and see if something comes out. 25 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 3: You are waiting until you feel the urge do we 26 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 3: to go to the toilet, And generally we're waiting until 27 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 3: we get tired before we go to sleep. So I 28 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 3: want the same to be for hunger. You should be 29 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 3: feeling really hungry before every time you eat, so we 30 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 3: can start to develop that healthier relationship with hunger and 31 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 3: comfortable fullness. It can help you eat to comfortable fullness 32 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 3: and not overeat. If you're not letting yourself get comfortably hungry, 33 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 3: then you might be someone who goes I just can't 34 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 3: stop eating once the food's there. It's just so delicious, 35 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 3: and you overeat again and you get stuck in that 36 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 3: all or nothing mindset. So the healthy relationship with physical 37 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 3: hunger is important now. Emotional hunger is a different thing. 38 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 3: You might say to me, But Lindy, I am eating chocolate, 39 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 3: I am eating all the things. I'm binging on them 40 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 3: all the time. They are constantly in my life. And 41 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 3: if you emotionally say yourself, oh I shouldn't have done that. 42 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: I really screwed up. That was way too many calories. 43 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: That was naughty. That was bad. I'm really gonna have 44 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 3: to be good tomorrow. This is emotional restriction, and it 45 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 3: causes emotional hunger, and that emotional hunger is what drives 46 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 3: us to have these intense, constant cravings. Cravings are normal, right, 47 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: we all have craves. If it feels constant, if you 48 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 3: don't see any varians in it, and it feels very powerful, 49 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 3: then I think there is a large degree of emotional 50 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 3: restriction probably going on for you. And while you have 51 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 3: emotional restriction, it's near impossible, No, it is impossible to 52 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 3: turn off this starvation switch. So your body remains thinking 53 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 3: that you're in this famine state, which means you have 54 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: that increased hunger, slow metabolism, and all the stuff we 55 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 3: talked about. So helping to eliminate the diet voice inside 56 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: your brain says why I shouldn't be doing this, and 57 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 3: having to retorts to come back at it, so that 58 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 3: it can start to rewire. Your brain will will rewire, 59 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 3: You'll start to think differently about food so it doesn't 60 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 3: feel so exhausting. I think it's a way to go. 61 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 3: I will just say as well, I think diets are 62 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 3: very easy to start. They get very hard to maintain. 63 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 3: What I talk about is the opposite. The hardest it 64 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: is getting started. You're learning how to think differently about food, 65 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 3: learning about your hunger. Oh my goodness, it can feel 66 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: like a lot. But the longer you do this easier, 67 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 3: the more intuitive, the more relaxed you become, and that 68 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 3: is what makes it sustainable over the long term. 69 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing advice and emotional restriction. I'd never thought 70 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: of it in terms like that, and even I've had 71 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 2: it moments in my life where you know, I come 72 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: from a sport that is weight divisions and we would 73 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 2: have to diet for weight divisions and getting out of 74 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: that mindset and still sometimes thinking oh, I shouldn't have 75 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: that food. There are good and bad foods, and it 76 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: is something that is exhausting. 77 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: And fatiguing, and it's just, oh, not a happy life, 78 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: is it. 79 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: So it's a. 80 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: Binge eating, And yeah, I want people to know that 81 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 3: binge eating is a very normal, natural response to when 82 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 3: your body fears that food is not plentiful. It is 83 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 3: so normal and so incredibly common, and some people like 84 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: me have binge eating disorder. In fact, I was I 85 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 3: had extreme binge eating disorder, and some of us just 86 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: b ed occasionally when we notice that restriction gets a 87 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: little bit more intense and irrespective if you're having any binges, 88 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 3: what I'm teaching you is going to be able to 89 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: reduce the binges so that they don't happen anymore. 90 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, and that feeling, that starving stuffing cycle, and 91 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: that feeling that that food will never be there, like chocolate. 92 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 2: And then I saw a fantastic tip on your Instagram 93 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: where you said, buy three packets of chocolate and just 94 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: have it there. It's not going to run out, like 95 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: you can have a little bit and you know you 96 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: don't have to eat the whole block. 97 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 3: Well, this is such a great packet principle because what 98 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 3: we do as a dieter we go, oh, I'm just 99 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 3: going to finish the pack so it's not a temptation 100 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 3: and I'll start fresh tomorrow. This is so the common 101 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 3: thinking trap of the all or nothing diet. So the 102 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 3: three packet principle gets in the way of that, because 103 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 3: even if I finish this packet, I have two more packets, 104 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 3: and even if I finish the next packet, there's another packet, 105 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 3: and you have to commit to this process and you 106 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 3: keep having to rebuy, but with time you will stop 107 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: being as obsessed with food. I talk about this in 108 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 3: my book. There is a study called the Macaroni and 109 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 3: Cheese Study. What they did is they gave participants macaroni 110 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 3: and cheese delicious. Yeah, I love mac and cheese, and 111 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 3: they said, eat as much as you want. And what 112 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: do you know, as the days went on, the participants 113 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: ate less and less. The beginning they gorged themselves and 114 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: then at the end they're like, oh, you know what, 115 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 3: I know, mac and cheese is always available to me. 116 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 3: I can eat it whenever I want. This is what 117 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 3: I want you to do with every single food you 118 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 3: feel a little bit crazy about, like the example of 119 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: eating peanut butter in a restaurant, by giving yourself permission 120 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 3: to it. You think, I'm just gonna if I give 121 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: myself permission to eat whatever I want, I'm not going 122 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 3: to be able to stop. I'm going to gain so 123 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 3: much weight. And this is the fear, the thing that 124 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 3: stops us from doing this, But in fact, the exact 125 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 3: opposite happens. We start to go oh, mac and cheese, 126 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: that's just another food. Anytime I want mac and cheese, 127 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 3: I can have it. And this is a phrase I 128 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: really want you to use. Anytime I want this food, 129 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 3: I can have it, and you have to truly mean it. 130 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: If there is emotional restriction going on, it's going to 131 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: sabotage this thinking. But that full permission allows your body 132 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 3: to go, oh, okay, I know it's in the fridge. 133 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 3: I'm now the person who can have Natella Bisco chocolate. 134 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 3: I can have all foods in my house, whereas before 135 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: I used to, they used to all get destroyed and gone. 136 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: And being jeating is one of those things. If you 137 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 3: don't get support, if you don't take action, it gets worse. 138 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: With time, it gets worse. And so that's how I 139 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: got to the point that I was been jeating multiple 140 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 3: times a day, So you can't diet yourself out of it. 141 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 2: Lastly, I want to pick your brain a little bit 142 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 2: about weight loss, because you know, there's this big push 143 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: I've seen on social media lately in trainers and influencers saying, look, 144 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 2: you have to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight, 145 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: which is true. So what are your feelings about tracking 146 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: foods and tracking apps? Are they harmful? How do you 147 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: suggest people approach if they do want to lose a 148 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: little bit of weight, like knowing their food intake? How 149 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 2: do you do that? 150 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: So, I mean, I've lost a bunch of weight twice. 151 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: One was once I recovered from binge eating disorder. You know, 152 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: I was now much heavier, and I over a very 153 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: long period of time, I lost twenty kilograms. So I 154 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 3: got back to weight. I was go, Okay, this is comfortable. 155 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 3: And then recently I had my kids, and with each 156 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 3: of my kids, I gained about twelve kilograms, and over 157 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: the year that followed afterwards, I've now just been going 158 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 3: chipping away. And you know, I think the non diet 159 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 3: world can be so anti weight loss or any talk 160 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 3: about weight loss, that we totally ignore the elephant in 161 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 3: the room, which is that if we don't talk about 162 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: healthy ways to achieve long term sustainable weight loss, people 163 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 3: just run back to diets and extreme approaches. That I'm 164 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: against stream approaches on either ends of the spectrum. Now, 165 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: what I think is we kind of need to trick 166 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 3: ourselves into losing weight. I think so people create this 167 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 3: goal weight and I'm very much against the idea of 168 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 3: tracking our calories and tracking our weight. I think it 169 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: is near and possible to do those activities without becoming 170 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 3: preoccupied with them and wanting to do it daily and 171 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 3: then you know, then lying in bed at night doing 172 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 3: the arithmetic of what we ate that day or yeah, 173 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 3: fitness power kind of stuff. So I don't think that 174 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 3: that is the way to do it. I think instead 175 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: of the goal weight, we need to determine a goal 176 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 3: lifestyle and what is the lifestyle that you want to lead? 177 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 3: Credit Pinterest board of that lifestyle. What are you doing, 178 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 3: what you what places are you going, what are you eating? 179 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 3: Kind of imagine it and don't get sucked into the 180 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 3: wellness girly Instagram trap of you know, the perfect days 181 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 3: in the plate. That's not what I'm talking about. But 182 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 3: we're going to start to take little actions to get 183 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 3: you closer to that lifestyle that your goal lifestyle that 184 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 3: you want. And the beauty of this is it means 185 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 3: that it should all be sustainable, it should be doable. 186 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 3: I want you to make little habit tweaks, bit by 187 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 3: bit instead of focusing on what you're not allowed to have. 188 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 3: I'm all about crowding crowding is the act of adding, 189 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 3: not restricting. So eat more vegetables, eat more fruit. I 190 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: think you know, the fear mongering we've had around carbohydrates 191 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 3: around fruit means that I'm not loudly carbohydrates for lunch 192 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: and then we faceplane into the pantry and we eat 193 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: all the chocolate. But what if you ate a sandwich 194 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 3: for lunch and that was really satisfying and you actually finished, 195 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 3: you felt full, and you felt emotionally satisfied. I think, 196 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 3: like I talked about those sacrificial calories, you're probably going 197 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 3: to eat less and not go crazy around food at nighttime. 198 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 3: When you integrated some chocolate into your afternoon snack, and 199 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 3: then we build it out with a handful of fruit, 200 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 3: a handful of nuts. You pop it on a plate, 201 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 3: because binge eating doesn't happen on a plate. It always 202 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 3: happens like a squirrel in the pantry. So pop it 203 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 3: on a plate, and then you're going to find that 204 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 3: all right, Maybe I skipped a binch, okay, And if you, 205 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 3: as I said, you add in two hundred calories, you 206 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 3: save two thousand. Many people who stop binge eating, who 207 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 3: break free of the all or nothing mindset, naturally do 208 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 3: go on to lose weight, but you're not going to 209 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 3: lose weight by continuing to do that restrictive dieting. And 210 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 3: I'd say to anyone who goes, well the calorie counting 211 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 3: thing does work, I'd say, well, if it worked, wouldn't 212 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 3: you be your goal weight by now? If it truly worked, 213 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 3: you'd be maintaining that weight. And only a very small 214 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 3: number of people can actually maintain that weight. I would 215 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: argue for many people it is through obsessive and sheer, 216 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 3: just like grit. And what I'm interested in is to 217 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 3: help you be healthy but not sacrifice ninety five percent 218 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 3: of your life to weigh five percent less. So it's 219 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 3: also this idea of finding a weight that is comfy 220 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: for you, and you might not be your leaner self, 221 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 3: but your life is good. Your thoughts don't keep coming 222 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 3: back to food. You're not obsessed with how many reps 223 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 3: you get at the gym. Health is something that makes 224 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 3: your life better, not something that gets in the way 225 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 3: of you living your lid life. That's what I'm interested in, 226 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 3: and I think over time I help people find their 227 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 3: happy weight, which is probably not the way you wait 228 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 3: in high school, and it's probably not your way to 229 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 3: your wedding day, but it is a weight that you 230 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: feel comfiat and where your weight is non issue, it 231 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 3: doesn't it's not something you have to think about. That 232 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 3: is my goal and what I help people do, that's 233 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 3: a fantastic goal. So lastly, I just want to ask 234 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 3: you about alcohol. I don't drink myself, so it is hard. 235 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 3: It's hard for me to relate to this. But what 236 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 3: is the connection between alcohol. 237 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: And weight loss? And I mean, you know, are people 238 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: drinking too much? 239 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: And is that something that they should assess. 240 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: I mean, absolutely people are drinking way too much. I 241 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 3: used to have chronic anxiety and then I stopped drinking, 242 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 3: and then I had no anxiety. And I just wish 243 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 3: someone had told me that will transform your life, This 244 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 3: seemingly small change will have this massive impact on you. 245 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: So you don't drink at all, Lidy, not anymore. 246 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 3: Now. I had my kids, and I realize anxiety poof 247 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 3: it disappeared when I was pregnant, and I was wondering 248 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 3: is it hormonal or is it just the only time 249 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 3: in my life where I've gone an extended period of 250 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 3: time and not drunk alcohol. So I had to do 251 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 3: the experiments. So I've been doing like a booze break 252 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 3: now for like a year and a half foremost no 253 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 3: longer too, and I love it now. When it comes 254 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 3: to weight, you know, we talk about alcohol being empty calories, 255 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 3: but I also think that don't quit alcohol to lose weight. 256 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 3: I don't think that is the right reason to do it. 257 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 3: Reduce alcohol because you like how it makes you feel, 258 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 3: because you like waking up with energy, because you're going 259 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: to trade a handful of tipsy moments for feel good 260 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 3: high that honestly doesn't wear off. Now that I don't drink, 261 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 3: I go why would I trade how good I feel 262 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 3: for a drink for a little more feeling. It's just 263 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: that little blip is not worth how good I feel. 264 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 3: And then just become curious about going. Okay, well, these 265 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 3: people feel pretty smug about their alcohol free life. Maybe 266 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 3: there's something in it. And if you've never got a 267 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: stint in your adult life where you haven't drunk alcohol, 268 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 3: just give it a well, just give it a well, 269 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: become curious if you did a little booze break how 270 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: good you could feel, because I think you could feel 271 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 3: bloody fantastic. 272 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: Oh that's such good advice. Well, Lindy, I just want 273 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: to ask you one more question. 274 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: I know I've been saying one more question, one more question, 275 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: but I love talking to you, and this question is 276 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 2: around a zepic and everything that's going on with a zempic. 277 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on it. 278 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 3: I think ozenbic is incredibly interesting at the moment. I 279 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 3: think ozenbic can change lives. One of my issues is 280 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 3: I don't think we know the long term impacts of ozeenpic, 281 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 3: so it kind of feels to me like this grand 282 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 3: social experiment that's happening at the moment. I know we 283 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 3: have doctors who really struggle with weight stigma, who are 284 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 3: going to totally miss the fact that the majority of 285 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 3: people who they are putting on ozenbi have underlying eating disorders. 286 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 3: You put them on ozebic and then at some point 287 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 3: they're going to have to come off ozembic and all 288 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 3: those eating disorder symptoms are still going to be there untreated, 289 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 3: And what do we think is going to happen. What 290 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: we see from the research is that the weight rebound 291 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 3: is just equivalent to any other methods we've seen before. 292 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 3: So it's the lack of long term planning. That really 293 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 3: blows my mind. So if you ask someone who is 294 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: on ozempic, I would highly encourage you to get support 295 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 3: for what may be an underlying binge eating disorder, which 296 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 3: is the most common eating disorder by a landslide, and 297 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 3: it is so underdiagnosed and misunderstood by doctors, so they're 298 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 3: not be eared up and you're not getting that adequate 299 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 3: emotional support that you need. I will also say that 300 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 3: one of the challenges is when someone's on ozempic, food 301 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 3: noise disappears, so that feeling disordered around food also disappears. Therefore, 302 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 3: the motivation to recover can also disappear as well. So 303 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 3: that is a bit of an interesting thing to consider. 304 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 3: But if you are going to come off ozebic, I 305 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 3: think there needs to be this long term strategy of Okay, 306 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 3: what are we going to do to create a healthier 307 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: relationship with food where we're no longer getting that rebound 308 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 3: we're seeing before. 309 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: Oh I'm so glad I asked that question. That was 310 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: great answer. One more thing I want to add as well. 311 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit scary we're seeing from 312 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 3: the research because ozembic slows gastric emptying what we're seeing 313 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: is huge malabsorption issues where like let's say calcium for example, 314 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 3: Let's say you're a woman who's our age, your thirties, 315 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 3: your forties, you're breastfeeding, well maybe not breastfeeding ozbic, but 316 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 3: calcium is an incredibly important nutrients and it's probably not 317 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 3: getting properly absorbed while you're on ozmbic. And then you 318 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 3: get to become a sixty year old woman who did 319 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 3: not get adequate calcium needs, and the bone density impacts 320 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 3: can be quite severe. And I don't think we're talking 321 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 3: about bone density because we can't see it, we can't 322 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 3: feel it until it's too Yes, we're not taking this 323 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: into consideration. So I'm very concerned about the mass, macro 324 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 3: and micronutury in deefficiencies that can emerge from taking ozebic, 325 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 3: especially when it's not done correctly. 326 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 2: Thank you, Lindy, Thank you so much for coming on 327 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 2: Bounce Forward and. 328 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: For all of your tips and all of your advice. 329 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: It's just fantastic and transformative.
