1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome back to Bounce Forward with Me, Tip Pole. 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: I'd like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 1: on which I'm recording this podcast. There were hundred people 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: of the Cooler Nation. I pay my respects to elders 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: past and present. Sally dm me with a great question. 6 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: She writes, I saw an oat recipe on TikTok claiming 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: to be as good as o zepic oat zempic. I 8 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: think it's called can it work? Is it worth trying? 9 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm considering doing the oat zeenpic weight loss challenge, but 10 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: it will depend on your thoughts, tiff Oh, Sally, trends 11 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: are toxic and I'm sorry to say this is just 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: another weight loss trend, from drinking a glass of chear 13 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: seed water to trying baby food diet or even eating 14 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: dog food to increase protein intake. I have seen it all. 15 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: I've even seen people having protein powder straight up with 16 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: no water. There are some questionable viral nutrition and weight 17 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: loss trends on social media platforms and it's super scary. 18 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: My fitness Peal, the nutrition and food tracking app you 19 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: may know of it, released some findings. They did a 20 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: survey that they conducted on two thousand millennials in gen 21 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: zs and they uncovered some really concerning statistics. My fitness 22 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: pel survey found that eighty six percent of millennials I'm 23 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: a millennial and gen Z's used TikTok, while sixty one 24 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: percent report they influenced by or frequently adopt the nutrition 25 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: trends on the platform. In fact, those who are influenced 26 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: by nutrition and health trends on TikTok, sixty four percent 27 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: report they had adopted at least one of these trends 28 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: a few times a week. It's terrifying. So let's talk 29 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: about what is o to zenpic. Ozenpic obviously is a 30 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: weight loss drug that is an injectible that is used 31 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: for diabetes, but now is very popular for people trying 32 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: to lose weight. The recipe for oats zen peck, which 33 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: is a play on the ozen pick, is half a 34 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: cup of oats, one cup of water, and juice from 35 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,399 Speaker 1: half of a lime blended together. Now why lime juice? 36 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: I have no idea, and it said it has the 37 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: same effect as a zen pick. I've actually Sally, I 38 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: got your question and I have to try it because 39 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: I do have oats quite often in the morning. And 40 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: I did just add some water and a bit of 41 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: lime juice and clicked my fingers and waited, and I'm 42 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: sorry to say nothing happened. So can drinking oats en 43 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: pick promote weight loss? Sure, but so can drinking, you know, 44 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: any beverage as long as you're in a calorie deficit. 45 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: So five hundred calories of fanta, yep, it's gonna work 46 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: if that's all you have and you're in a deficit. 47 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: The theory behind oatzen weight loss power is that it 48 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: relates to oats themselves. Oats are high in beata glucken, 49 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: a type of soluble fiber that increases fullness and decreases hunger. 50 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: So oats are quite magical. They are a fantastic choice 51 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: for a breakfast, right, they'll keep you full of for longer. 52 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: Oats en pick dieters are also pairing their limey oats 53 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: with time restricting eating. Right, so now it's a chicken 54 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: in an egg situation, because did we save calories by 55 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: skipping meals? Did the oats replace a breakfast muffin? My 56 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: guess is that they likely are a combination of one. 57 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: Time restricted eating, which decreases some people's calorie intake, and 58 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: two staying full of longer because you had the oats, 59 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: So the concoction is replacing a previous higher calorie breakfast. 60 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: There's no magic in the oats themselves. Are there any 61 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: benefits of oats enpick Well, it's clear there are health 62 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: benefits to oats, and studies have shown the role of 63 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: oats play in reducing the risk of heart disease, type 64 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: two diabetes, and obesity. They contain antioxidant compounds, cholesterol lowering 65 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: phytosterols and phytochemicals, which are just incredible and they really 66 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: do help to improve your gut health. I'd like it 67 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: noted that half a cup of traditionally prepared oatmeal is 68 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: likely to cause the same effects, So don't worry about 69 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: the lime juice. But I just want everyone to eat healthy, 70 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: well balanced, delicious meals. So if oat water and lime 71 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: appeals to you, cool, I can think of worse things. 72 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: Just remember, though, these single food diet trends, they just 73 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: won't help you lose weight quickly, and they won't help 74 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: you keep the weight off. So here are some things 75 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: to remember. Eating patterns need to be individual, so you're 76 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: looking at these trends that are everyone. No, you need 77 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: to eat what's right for you. There is no oh, 78 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: one size fits all diet. Okay, So when you see 79 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: these trends that says eat oats and pic alarm bells 80 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: should ring, Okay, that's not for me. Your weight is 81 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: not your health. Please, don't obsess about your weight. If 82 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: you're eating well, colors of the rainbow, all your macronutrients, 83 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: your fats, your carbs, you're protein. If you're lifting some 84 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: weights and exercising and getting outdoors and having a balanced 85 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: lifestyle that reduces cortisol and stress in your life, and 86 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: you're addressing all of those things and you're healthy, who 87 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: cares about your weight? Okay, your weight is not your health. 88 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: Diets need to be sustainable long term. It's a very 89 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: important thing I want you to remember, and any kind 90 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: of toxic trend on TikTok is not going to be 91 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: sustainable long term. I want you to eat a wide 92 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: variety of nutrient dense foods that you enjoy, not just 93 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: living on oats with a bit of lime juice. And 94 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: to remember that a calorie deficit is important. Calories play 95 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: the largest role in weight management, So you do need 96 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: to be in a deficit. So eating foods that fill 97 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: you up for longer, like oats, like protein. That's that's 98 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: a good thing, right, it's really smart. But you need 99 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: that variety, You need that absolute variety of nutrient dense foods, 100 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: and you need to enjoy the journey otherwise it's only 101 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,679 Speaker 1: going to last for a second and whatever weight you lost, 102 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: you will put on double. And it needs to be sustainable. 103 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: And you need to have a good relationship with your food. 104 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: So any kind of deprivation or limitations around food, it's 105 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: going to harm one of the most important relationships you'll 106 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: ever have in your life, which is with food. So Sally, 107 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: please don't do the oats and pig challenge. Instead, have 108 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: your oats for breakfast, yes, but then move on to 109 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: other beautiful foods that you enjoy and just let go 110 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: of all the toxic trends. On TikTok, I've addressed a 111 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: lot of fitness, health eating trends on this podcast, and 112 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people write in with questions asking is 113 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: it this way or this way? The black or white thinking? 114 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: And I get it. It is super easy to fall 115 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: for these trends. I myself have fallen for some trends 116 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: over time because I did taekwondo for many, many years, 117 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: and it was a weight division sport, so you lose 118 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: weight to compete. And I was surrounded by dieting a lot. 119 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: It was cabbage soup diet, saunering in a wetsuit. How 120 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: can you lose weight quickly for competition? I was surrounded 121 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: by that stuff growing up. You know, you always think, oh, 122 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: maybe I should try that. Something you may not know 123 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: about me, and I haven't really told many people, but 124 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: I entered a bodybuilding competition once and I won it. 125 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: And when I was dieting and training for that bodybuilding competition, 126 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: and I might tear a photo of my winning you 127 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: know pose, which is just oh my god, I can't 128 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: believe I did that. And I got very, very lean. 129 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: But I was again surrounded by all these diets and trends, 130 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: and you know, you get hooked on thinking that there's 131 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: a magic pill or something that can happen overnight. And 132 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: that's what we're seeing now with you know, ozempic being 133 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: used for weight loss. Everyone wants a quick fix, but 134 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: my argument is always coming back to recomposition of the body. 135 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: Like ozepic, you will jab yourself and suppress your appetite 136 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: pretty much amputate your appetite, and you will lose dramatic 137 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: amounts of fat and muscle and weight. But then you 138 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: are losing that longevity or you're losing the beautiful muscle 139 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: mass you are aren't going I think I very much 140 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: doubt that you're going to be doing lots of strength 141 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: training if you're on azenpic, because your energy levels fall 142 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: so much, you get so tired because you're not eating. 143 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: And so the overall aim in my life and what 144 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: I'm trying to teach other people is that it's about 145 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: recompositioning your body, so getting rid of the fat stores, 146 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: increasing the lean muscle mass that makes you feel powerful 147 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: and strong and turns you into a fat fighting machine 148 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: because muscle is metabolic. And you know, that's what's missed. 149 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: I think in all these diet trends in that I'll 150 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: try oat to zempic just drinking oat water and lime juice, 151 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: and I will go on the cabbage soup diet, and 152 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: I will, you know, do all these trends. But it's 153 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: forgetting the power of training and the power of building 154 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: that lean muscle, and that's what I worry for people 155 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: doing ozenpic. I really do worry about it just eating 156 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: away their muscle mass and then that affects your bone density. 157 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: And you know, I've interviewed Lindy Cohen on this podcast 158 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: who talked about how it slows down the emptying of 159 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: the gut and then it slows down the absorption of nutrients. 160 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: So I am always worried about the all or nothing 161 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: mindset on this podcast, and I'm always trying to set 162 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: people up to not have that all or nothing mindset, 163 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: that it's not all about diet, it's not all about exercise, 164 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: it's not all about one trend. It's actually an approach 165 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: where you're doing one percent of a lot of different 166 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: little things that build a really healthy, holistic approach that 167 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: helps you to bounce forward.
