1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Leanne Wood and I'm Susie Burrow and welcome 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: to the Nutrition Couch, a weekly podcast from two of 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: Austray's leading dietitians, bringing you everything that is new in 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,159 Speaker 1: the world of nutrition, diets and good food from the 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: Nutrition Couch. Today, can we boost our metabolism? We discuss 6 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: what our metabolism actually is, why it slows down as 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: we get older, and most importantly, is there anything we 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: can do to increase it. Our client case study of 9 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: the week is on cholesterol. What can you do if 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: you eat healthy but your GP still tells you your 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: cholesterol is high. Our product review for the week is 12 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: a popular brand of soy milk, and our listener question 13 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: is all about MSG or the additive six two one? 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: Can we still find it in food? And is it 15 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: really that bad for us? But to start off the week, Susie, 16 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: how's clinic been this week? 17 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 2: Oh, Clinic's been good, And I'm really excited about today's episode, Leane, 18 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: because a lot of the topics we're talking about have 19 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: actually come up for me with products or in clinic. 20 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: This week, I've spent a lot of time through lockdown 21 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: talking to my clients about increasing their steps. But now 22 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: what I'm really shifting to is about getting their metabolism up, 23 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: so looking at ways that they can train in a 24 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,639 Speaker 2: way that actually going to improve their ability to burn 25 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: calories long term, and getting back to that more traditional 26 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: model of exercise where we're really working on the muscles. 27 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 2: And we're going to cover that in a minute. But 28 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: also I've had a couple of issues with cholesterol this week, 29 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 2: and definitely talking about MSG and kids food, So it's 30 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: really pertinent to me. Our topics today are really resonating 31 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: for clients who are now I guess, getting ready for 32 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: summer and really trying to lean up and get back 33 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: into their best self as we get ready to bear 34 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: flesh after being lockdown for many weeks. So hopefully this 35 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 2: will give a lot of people some really practical suggestions 36 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: when it comes to their body and choosing healthier products 37 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 2: and training the right way. 38 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: I love it. And we see so much misinformation online 39 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: in regards to metabolism, you know, even in this day 40 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: and age, I still see things popping up being like 41 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: mix some apple sided vinegar with some lemon juice and 42 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: boost your metabolism. And I just look at it and 43 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, what a crocker, So I'm really excited to 44 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: put some myths to bed about metabolism today one hundred percent. 45 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: And that you're funny because when I do my client 46 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: Q and as on Instagram each week that comes out 47 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: multiple times, I had two or three questions about apple 48 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: side of vinegar straight away. So people are selling a 49 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: lot of apple side of vinegar, but I would never 50 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 2: generally recommend it because, as we know, metabolism it's a 51 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: little bit more complicated than that. But the good news 52 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 2: is there are some things that we can do once 53 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: we understand what we're talking about when it comes to metabolism, 54 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,839 Speaker 2: and sometimes it's just getting back to basics and things 55 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: like a good old coffee is one of the best 56 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: things you can do when it comes to metabolism. But 57 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 2: we'll get started on what is metabolism? 58 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can kick us off, definitely. So what is 59 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: our metabolism? Oh gosh, take me right back to our 60 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: chemistry days, right. Metabolism is essentially a set of life 61 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: sustaining chemical reactions that happen within our body and would 62 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: happen within a different organism. So there are three main 63 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: purposes of our metabolism. We've all got a metabolism doesn't 64 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: matter if it's fast or slow, it's not optimized. We've 65 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: all got one. So essentially what happens in our body, Susie, 66 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: is that we have these metabolic processes and they help 67 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: with these three purposes. It is the conversion of energy 68 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: into food in order for that energy to be available 69 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: to run our cellular processes within our body. It's a 70 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: conversion of food to building blocks for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. 71 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: And it's also the elimination of metabolic waste products. So 72 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: these metabolic reactions can be categorized as catabolic or anabolic. 73 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: So catabolism is a process where food and drink is 74 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: broken down into really simple forms where the body can 75 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: then process and release that energy. Anabolism, on the other hand, 76 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: is the process where energy is used for the bodily functions, 77 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: and that's including things like you know, growing and repairing 78 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: cells and different processes within our body. So I think 79 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: the big question from most people when it comes to 80 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: metabolism is like what is it and how do we 81 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: improve it? I think a lot of us understand that 82 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: it's an important process within our body, and particularly for 83 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: fat loss. We want a high metabolism, right, So when 84 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: it comes down to our metabolism, it really is about 85 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: how many killo duels we're consuming across the day. And 86 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: if we're consuming more kilojeels that our body needs, we 87 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: will store that mostly as fat. If we're consuming less 88 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: kilodeals that our body needs, we will be able to 89 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: drop body fat. So your metabolic rate refers to the 90 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: rate at which your body uses energy to function, and 91 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: that's really important. So a high and metabolic rate will 92 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: use that energy that you're eating really effectively. So that's 93 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: what we're really aiming for here, as a high metabolic rate. 94 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: And when it comes to our metabolism, people say, well, 95 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, obviously, how do I increase my metabolism? So 96 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: there are a few things that influence this, and probably 97 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: the biggest three are body size, gender, and age. So 98 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: people with a larger body, including more massal mass, are 99 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: likely to burn more calories. A larger body will always 100 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: burn more calories that are smaller body and males tend 101 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: to burn more calories than females because males have more 102 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: muscle mass on board traditionally, and muscle is a metabolically 103 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: active tissue, so generally that's why males, if you know, 104 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: husband and wives do the same quote unm quote diet 105 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: program men will always generally lose more because they've got 106 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: more muscle mass on board. They're a little bit superior 107 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: from a metabolic perspective. So that sort of covers body 108 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: size and gender in one and then age as well. 109 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: So as we age again, we begin to lose our 110 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: muscle mass, which sort of means that our metabolism slows down. 111 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: So I think that there's a couple of points that 112 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: obviously we can't change our gender, we can't change our 113 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: age as muscle as we would like to see see, 114 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: but we do keep harping on about an important point, 115 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: and that is muscle. So the more muscle you have, 116 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: the better your metabolism is going to be, because muscle 117 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: is a metabolically active tissue. 118 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: I think that you've summed it up really well in 119 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: far more detail than I am even privy to. I 120 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 2: was going to say that metabolism is just sort of 121 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: the calories we need to survive on a daily basis. 122 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: But I guess that the key thing is that what 123 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: I'm constantly talking about with my clients is that it 124 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: reduces as we get older generally for a couple of reasons. 125 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 2: The first is the significant reduction in physical activity so 126 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: many of us have as part of our lives, and 127 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: that then in turn contributes to a reduction in muscle 128 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: mass we get older. And I guess the other thing 129 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 2: for me is working with a lot of small females, 130 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: we just don't come, as you described, from a place 131 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 2: wheund metabolism's doing overly well anyway as women, and then 132 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: we're particularly inactive, and often we don't do any kind 133 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 2: of weight training, and that is very common. As you said, 134 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: our husband and wife will start a diet together and 135 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 2: the husband will lose five kilos in a week and 136 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: the poor wife will lose half a kilo. It is furious, 137 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 2: and it does come down to that really baseline muscle mass. 138 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: But I think something we also don't discuss, and I 139 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: spoke about it recently for a Daily Telegraph interview on 140 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 2: calories in versus calories out. I think what we fail 141 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 2: to also understand is that there is also a cellular 142 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: metabolism that can be impacted by hormones. And so even 143 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: though someone in theory it's calories in versus calories out, 144 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: if your cell is not working as efficiently as effectively 145 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: and has been impacted by hormonal dysfunction, whether at thyroid 146 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 2: or peturitory or instual resistance. Again, the cellular metabolism will 147 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 2: be inferior to someone who has full meta efficiency. So 148 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 2: for me, it comes down to a sort of level 149 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 2: of acceptance around metabolism is something many of us will 150 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: fight unless we're naturally very very lean, which can be 151 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: the case if you have that body type naturally, and 152 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: that's often the people you see who are very very 153 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 2: lean their entire lives versus many of us who struggle 154 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: a little bit more. And for me, the ideal situation 155 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: is to keep on top of metabolism as we get older, 156 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: So as you move into your thirties and forties in particular, 157 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: and then women start to go through the menopausal changes, 158 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: which puts more pressure on those hormonal systems that are 159 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: really putting us prone to gaining weight. Is the more 160 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: you can keep on top of your weight with the 161 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 2: right mix of training, it's really really important. And I 162 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: do think in this instance, if you're someone who really 163 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: struggles and finds it so easy to gain weight as 164 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,679 Speaker 2: you're getting older, and you might be doing your walking. 165 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: That would be when I would perhaps suggest you start 166 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 2: to get a body scan done to really see what's 167 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: going on with your in reference to what are normal levels. 168 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 2: Do you have quite low levels. Maybe you never did 169 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: a lot of activity when you were young, maybe you 170 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: didn't participate in a lot of sports, so you've never 171 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: had a significant amount of muscle mass and you've never 172 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: maintained it. And as such, metabolisms reducing over time, and 173 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 2: then really look at some very specific weight training, because 174 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: the issue can be one you just go into a 175 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: gym and don't necessarily know what you're doing, or if 176 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: you have inst resistance you can sometimes gain a lot 177 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 2: of tissue quickly that can actually retain too much fat 178 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: mass as well. So to me, it's a quite specific 179 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 2: type of training, particularly when you get into your forties 180 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 2: and fifties, to ensure you are getting the metabolic benefit 181 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: of that muscle mass, but basically teaching your body to 182 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 2: burn better over time. And I think that's something that 183 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 2: we don't spend enough time talking about, particularly for women 184 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 2: in those years, but that is really, as you described, 185 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: the only way that we will significantly increase metabolic rate. 186 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 2: And we talk about studies of green tea or caffeine 187 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,359 Speaker 2: or stimulants. But when you look at the metabolic increases, 188 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 2: they're tiny. There are a few calories when really, you know, 189 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: if you're looking at hundreds of calories and being able 190 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 2: to eat a lot more or at least prevent weight 191 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: gain as you get older, really maintaining and putting on 192 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: some of that lean muscle tissue is the only real 193 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: way that you will do that. 194 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: And so I think that that's a really important point, 195 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: that muscle mass is so important from a metabolic perspective. 196 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: And the other thing I think is really important, as 197 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned, Susie, we're not going to really get you 198 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: bang for buck when we talk about foods like, yeah, 199 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: you can eat the chilies and the hot spicy foods. 200 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: Yes you can drink the green teas. Yes you can 201 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: put as much lemon in your water as you want. 202 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: But from a percentage perspective, maybe you might get one 203 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: percent benefit when it comes to metabolic rate. Like, let's 204 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: be honest, the two biggest bang for your bucks are 205 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: going to be increasing your own lean muscle mass, which 206 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: has to come with good nutrition and proper training. And 207 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: the other thing, Susie is not staying in a calorie 208 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: deficit for too long. So a lot of people will 209 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: almost use their metabolism as an excuse. And absolutely your 210 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: genetics plays a huge role here. You can actually improve 211 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: your metabolism just because you were delta, you know, a 212 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: crappy hand in terms of not having that those genetics 213 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: that are favored metabolism. 214 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can. 215 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: Still improve that. Like, don't use that as an excuse. 216 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: But the thing that's going to hinder you is chronic 217 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: yo yo, darting over time or staying in a calorie 218 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: deficit for longer than is needed or for longer than 219 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: your body kind of appreciates, you know. Siart up with 220 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: a lot of clients. So my coaching service Susie and 221 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, I've been darting for three years, I 222 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: can't lose the weight. I'm like, what the heck? Like 223 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: three years, Like what have you been doing now? So 224 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: it's almost like, don't stay in those chronic calorie deficits 225 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: because all you're going to do is, as you mentioned, like, 226 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: we're not metabolically as efficient the longer we stay in 227 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: a deficit four so things start to slow down and 228 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: the body doesn't process and utilize energy as well, so short, 229 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: sharp periods of calorie deficits are absolutely better than sort 230 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: of darting for like, you know, like six months on 231 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: end or you know, yoyo darting and signing up to 232 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: a new program then not sticking to it, then signing 233 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: up to another one and not sticking to it. Absolutely 234 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: working with a professional to get that weight off, not 235 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: necessarily quickly, but just not with huge calorie deficits. Like 236 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: I always say that the smaller deficit the better, So 237 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: that's that small sustained weight loss over time, because the 238 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: longer you are in a deficit, particularly a large deficit, 239 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: the more you're going to slow things down metabolically. But 240 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: there is quite a big school of thought that you 241 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: can damage your metabolism, and that's not necessarily true. We 242 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: don't permanently ever damage our metabolism. We can always improve 243 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: it from there. But I think a lot of people 244 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: aren't as metabolically efficient as what they would like due 245 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: to periods of prolonged and chronic dieting and large calorie 246 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: deficits as well, Susie, and as we said, not eating 247 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: enough protein regularly spread throughout the day, and I guess 248 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: not doing the proper type of training. You know, as 249 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: we get older, we tend to drop the gym sessions 250 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: and drop the high intenses stuff and go more towards 251 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: let's just go for a gentle walk or let's do 252 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of yoga, And it's simply just not 253 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: enough from a metabolic perspective. And then we drop out 254 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: a lot of those healthy foods and we rely on 255 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: those quick, more carbohydrate based snacks. We're not eating enough protein, 256 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: we're not training well enough. You know, we just sort 257 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: of do more of those like detoxes than kale, which 258 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: just hinders our metabolism overall. So the two big points 259 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: that don't chronically diet, don't drop your calories too low, 260 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: and you have to do some form of resistance training. 261 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 2: And it does lend itself to a discussion of protein, 262 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: because protein does require slightly more calories to process, which 263 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: does result in a slight increase in metabolic rate, which 264 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 2: is why sometimes when we are trying to ignite hunger 265 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: and get the body burning in the morning, will encourage 266 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: a high protein meal to start the day. But when 267 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 2: you were talking, it just reminded me that when I 268 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 2: have clients who are presenting and perhaps would describe themselves 269 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 2: as having a slow metabolism, I would say, are you 270 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: feeling hungry? Because when they're not feeling hungry regularly, particularly 271 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 2: in the first half of the day, that is telling 272 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: me that something is not working as effectively as efficiently 273 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 2: as it should be. Perhaps as you describe, they have 274 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: been on two low calories for too long a period 275 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 2: and their bodies in that store mode because it's saying, 276 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 2: you know what, you're not feeding me enough, So I'm 277 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: going to slow everything down. So when I'm working trying 278 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 2: to get metabolism up, I will try and give clients 279 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: a meal in the morning that's high in protein and 280 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 2: then try and get them hungry, because that's a sign 281 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 2: to me that their body is starting to burn their 282 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 2: food well as it should be. So that's one strategy, 283 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: and of course the other is looking at heart rates 284 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: and training as well, because as you describe, sitting in 285 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 2: that stable heart rate zone, whether it's yoga or gentle walking, 286 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: is not challenging the body in any way. And so 287 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: that's another strategy I may use with my clients in 288 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 2: getting them to do some interval type training. And I'm 289 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 2: not a trainer, but just some rough guidelines on, try 290 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: and get your heart rate up a little bit, maybe 291 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 2: do some intervals, because often that can be enough to 292 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: again ignite that hunger and get their body to burn. 293 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: And then of course our job is to get them 294 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: to feed and to eat to fuel that body to 295 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 2: continue to burn. And then long term look at things 296 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: like body composition to improve metabolic rate long term, but 297 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 2: there's a couple of little strategies. Definitely a higher protein 298 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: intake can help burn a few more calories through the day, 299 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: and trying to ignite hunger because that, as I said, 300 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 2: is a sign your body starting to burn your food. 301 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 2: So it's a good thing. And when my client's weight 302 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: loss will plato, I'll say, look, I need you to 303 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: be hungry, and if you're not hungry, that's societ. I'm 304 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: actually not feeding you enough. 305 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: And then as you mentioned that, the way that our 306 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: body uses more energy to process protein is there's a 307 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: special term for that. It's called the thermic effective food. 308 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 1: So a lot of people might have heard that. So 309 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: the way that the body breaks down and burns protein, 310 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: fats and carbohydrates, we use more energy to break down protein. 311 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: Is why we're such a fan of high protein diets. 312 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: But please. This is why it's so important to work 313 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: with a professional because I see so many women And 314 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: we talked about this before, Susie overeating protein. So yes, 315 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: we want more protein, but more and more and more 316 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: is not necessarily always better. So there's just there's so 317 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: many so like you hear one thing and then you 318 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: hear another, then you hear another, and you hear another, 319 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: and nutrition sides is confusing and it absolutely needs to 320 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: be personalized. And so we couldn't recommend enough working with 321 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: a dietician one on one and also getting a proper 322 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: trainer to work with your goals. You know, if you've 323 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: come from a walking yoga based background, you're not just 324 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: going to hit the gym and do some heavy dead lips. 325 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: You're probably going to do yourself an injury. So absolutely 326 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: working with a professional. Yes, there's hundreds of or thousands 327 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: and millions of free resources online, but you cannot replace 328 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: the free advice you get online with quality and personalized 329 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,119 Speaker 1: advice that you're going to get from a qualified professional. 330 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 2: And we did discuss the need to have further discussion 331 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 2: of protein in a further episode. How much is too much? 332 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: So I watch this space and we will come back 333 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: to that topic because I know it's a big interest 334 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 2: to our listeners, all right, Well, moving on from that, 335 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 2: which is an unrelated really looking at a client case 336 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: study that comes up quite regularly both on Q and 337 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: a's from our questions on our Instagram page, the Nutrition 338 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 2: Couch podcast, and also from our own clients. Recently, I 339 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 2: had a client just referred from her GP for a 340 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: DIT consult because of high cholesterol, and she was actually 341 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: really quite distressedly and because she was quite lean, quite fit, 342 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 2: quite healthy, and the cholesterol was coming in at about 343 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: six million miles per leter, which is slightly elevated, and 344 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 2: she was really upset because she's like, I'm really trying 345 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: hard to eat well, I'm fit, I'm lean, Like, how 346 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 2: can I possibly have high cholesterol? Now, given that heart 347 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 2: disease remains one of Australia's greatest killers, as significant number 348 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 2: of Australians have high cholesterol levels, we thought it was 349 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: worthy of a general discussion and what can and what 350 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 2: you can't do from a dietary perspective. So to kick 351 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 2: things off, the first thing I will say is that 352 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: there is definitely a scenario where you may have genetic 353 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 2: familial hypercholesteroleemia, and no matter what you do from a 354 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: diet perspective, it still remains high. Now, the estimate of 355 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 2: that is ten percent of Australians, but to be honest, 356 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: I see it in a lot more people. I think 357 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 2: that is probably a little bit higher than that. And 358 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: this is the people who eat pretty well, they're quite lean, 359 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 2: and yet their cholesterol remains elevated, and it can be 360 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 2: actually quite elevated to the point that it needs active 361 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: management with a cardiologist and they will use medication to 362 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 2: bring that down. So the cholesterol is a substance made 363 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 2: by the liver, and some of our livers there's a 364 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 2: genetic mutation in which the liver will churn out far 365 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: more cholesterol than it should be doing, and of course 366 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: that can put you at higher risk of heart disease. Now, 367 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 2: that is one specific group of people, and indeed that 368 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 2: was one of the clients that presented to me. And 369 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 2: there are a few stratus that I could use with her, 370 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: but it was really important for me to remind her 371 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 2: that she wasn't doing anything wrong with her diet. This 372 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: was largely genetic. And yes, we can do a few 373 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 2: little things with diet which we'll talk about in a 374 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 2: sec but basically, nothing she was doing wrong. It wasn't 375 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 2: her fault. But in the case for many of the 376 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 2: clients who will present to me Leanne, this is very 377 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 2: common with my women, particularly postmenopausal women, and the cholesterol 378 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: will just be slightly elevated. So the recommended level, I 379 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 2: think is four point five, so they might be coming 380 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 2: in at five point three six. The LDLs, which is 381 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 2: the bad sticky cholesterol and the blood might be highly 382 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,719 Speaker 2: slightly elevated, and hence that's the one that the doctors 383 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 2: are concerned about. But then often their HDL, which is 384 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 2: that better cholesterol that helps to clear out the arteries, 385 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 2: will also be relatively high because a lot of my 386 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: clients will already be exercising. So what I wanted to 387 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 2: talk about was the fact that it's not cholesterol in 388 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 2: food that we consume that increases blood cholesterol. So whenever 389 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: we eat animal based food, whether it's dairy, whether it's meat, 390 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: we will be consuming some cholesterol. Eggs, of course, prawns 391 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 2: are the common ones we hear about. But just because 392 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: we consume cholesterol in food, it doesn't automatically increase our 393 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 2: blood cholesterol. That's not the way it works. It's based 394 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: on a balance of the good and bad fat that 395 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: we consume overall, as well as whether we've got some 396 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 2: pro inflammatory hormones going on if our diets high in carbohydrate. 397 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: So it absolutely comes down to the overall dietary pattern 398 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,239 Speaker 2: and specifically the dietary pattern when it comes to our 399 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: good fat intake. So just as a rough guide, when 400 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: I'm working with someone on high cholesterol, when they're eating 401 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 2: pretty well, the key variables that I will be looking 402 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: at is that they're minimizing their intake of process fats. 403 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 2: And indeed, in Australia we still consume trans fats and 404 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 2: they're coming because that's not required to be labeled. We 405 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 2: still consume trans fats in process pastry based products, things 406 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 2: like doughnuts and commercial cakes. So instantly we will talk 407 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 2: about that they need to be very mindful of the 408 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 2: oils being consumed in fried food and fast foods. So 409 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,959 Speaker 2: whenever we order uber eats or whenever we order our 410 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 2: takeaway food, you're consuming a lot of process fat. Even 411 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 2: though they may be vegetable based, they're still very pro 412 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: inflammatory and very negative for when it comes to our 413 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 2: blood cholesterol levels. So really minimizing our intake of all 414 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 2: process fats and in particular things like palm oil hydrogenated 415 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 2: vegetable oils that we do still consume reasonable amounts of 416 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 2: in Australia. And then I'm looking to get the fat 417 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 2: balance right. And my basic prescription is I want to 418 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 2: serve of walnuts a day because they're very high in 419 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 2: amiga three plant based fats or pumpkins ease. As we 420 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 2: spoke about a couple of episodes ago in one of 421 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 2: our product reviews in our munch snacks, I'm looking for 422 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 2: extra virgin olive oil to be the high antioxidant oil 423 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 2: of choice. I'm looking to minimize saturated fat from our meat, 424 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: so making sure that there is lean as lean as possible. 425 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: And the last thing, of course is bumping up the 426 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 2: intake of amiga three fats, ideally from oily fish, salmon, sardines, 427 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 2: tuna things, to get more of those positive fats, which 428 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 2: is going to help to reduce inflammation in the body. 429 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 2: And that's one of the best things that I can 430 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 2: do for overall cholesterol balance. But what I also say 431 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 2: is that my understanding, particularly of postmenopausal women, is just 432 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 2: because you have slightly elevated cholesterol levels does not necessarily 433 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: warrant medication. What you also need to check, and again 434 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 2: we're not doctors, but this is on advice from cardiology experts, 435 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 2: is that we're also looking for the calcification score in 436 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: the arteries because it's quite possible that you have slightly 437 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: elevated blood cholesterol levels. But if your arteries aren't hard, 438 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 2: you're at minimal risk for heart disease. So definitely check 439 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: that with your GP or cardiologists before rushing to take 440 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 2: medication when your cholesterol is slightly elevated, because if you've 441 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 2: got low calcification scores, which means that your arteries are 442 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 2: still soft and quite don't have that rigidity that is 443 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 2: again associated with increased risk of heart attack, that you 444 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 2: are better with lifestyle and anti inflammatory diet to lose 445 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 2: a bit of weight and keep active rather than rush 446 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: onto medication, because in the right balance of fat, it 447 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 2: to be slightly elevated does not always warrant medication. 448 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: Definitely, and I really want to just reiterate that point 449 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: you made it the beginning about that genetic link. So 450 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people and I've got a 451 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: family friend and she's a dietician, and her dad has 452 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: just that genetic link and he super fits superlean like 453 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: diets on point. Like, she's tried every strategy and she 454 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: came to me and she was just she was just like, Oh, 455 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: is there anything else we can do? And unfortunately, there 456 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: are some circumstances where you're doing all of the right 457 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: things and you still absolutely need to take the medication 458 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: to bring down your cholesterol. So it's one of those 459 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: things where you haven't done anything wrong. It's just one 460 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: of those unfortunate, more genetic based conditions. But if you 461 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: are someone as you mentioned Susie with high cholesterol, a 462 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: lot of people say, well, I don't need that bad 463 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: Like what's going on? And as you highlighted, the biggest 464 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: things that most people are doing wrong or the biggest 465 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: areas or ways that we can reduce a high blood 466 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: cholesterol is by looking at that intake of the good fats. 467 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: So do we have enough healthy fats in our diet? 468 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 1: Have we reduced the amount of unhealthy fats? You know, 469 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: the butters, the coconut oils, the palm oils, the deep 470 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: fried things, the pastries, the biscuits, the pies, all of 471 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: that sort of thing. And then for most people as Australians, 472 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: we know they have such a low intake of fiber, 473 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: so fiber is one of those what would call superfoods. 474 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: So fiber helps to bind cholesterol and strip it out 475 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: of the blood. So it's so incredibly important you doing 476 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: simple things like maximizing the amount of dietary fiber in 477 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: your diet can absolutely help to reduce your cholesterol. And 478 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: rolled oats for me, one of my superfoods when it 479 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: comes to cholesterol. I absolutely recommend people with high cholesterol 480 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: be consuming rolled oats on a daily or a couple 481 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: of times a week basis as well. So there's sort 482 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: of some of the things that I really look at, 483 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: but particularly fiber Suzi, because I think when we're bumping 484 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: up the amount of fiber, we're automatically making I guess 485 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: better choices to our diet because we're adding in more fruits, 486 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: more veggies, more nuts, more seeds, more legumes, more whole 487 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: grain containing grains, which is so incredibly important for a 488 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: overall health, be our gut health and see also our 489 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: cholesterol levels as well, So really focus on what you 490 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: can add in from a cholesterol perspective versus all of 491 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: the things that you have to cut out, and I 492 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: think that's a really helpful tip from a I guess 493 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: like a mindset perspective. 494 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 2: And definitely a little bit away loss can make a 495 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 2: really profound effect on inflammation in the body, and hence 496 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: that can really be beneficial if your cholesterol is slightly elevated. 497 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 2: But I think Leam, we should also talk about plant 498 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 2: sterol margarines here now. Plant sterol margarines were introduced in 499 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: Australia about fifteen twenty years ago, and they contain a 500 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: molecule very similar in shape to cholesterol itself in the body, 501 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 2: and so they're proven to go basically hop in the 502 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: spot of cholesterol in the body and help to reduce levels. 503 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 2: But I'm not a fan of cholesterol lowering margarines for 504 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 2: several reasons. Number one is that it's introducing a process 505 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 2: food back into the diet. So I'm not going to 506 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 2: introduce margarine to my client's diet for the sake of 507 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 2: a slight increasing decrease, I should say, in cholesterol. I 508 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 2: can get that with diet without introducing margarine. They're quite 509 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 2: expensive and I don't regularly use margarine anyway. But Lee 510 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 2: and what I do use now a bit more, particularly 511 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 2: with my pretty healthy individuals looking for those little added 512 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 2: extras to help reduce levels. Is the plant sterol milk. 513 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 2: So there is one heart active milk. It's available at 514 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 2: Aldi and in mainstream supermarket and that also contains the 515 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 2: two to three grams of plant sterols. Now I'm not 516 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 2: sure the serve. I'm not sure if you need two 517 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 2: or three glasses of the milk per day. I will 518 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 2: have to check that, but definitely I do encourage people 519 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 2: with cholesterol and when they're eating well already and just 520 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,479 Speaker 2: looking for that extra boost. That is a product similar 521 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 2: to the oats that is worth including in the diet. 522 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 2: Is a swap for your regular milk to help lower 523 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 2: those levels generally. But no, I'm not a fan of 524 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 2: the plant sterol margarines and never have been. 525 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you from a price perspective, I 526 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: think they're about six or seven bucks a tub. And 527 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: for a reference where meaning one of the brands, uozy 528 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: Logical is one of them and the other one Flora Plroactive. 529 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. 530 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, so they're sort of probably the two bigger ones 531 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: on the market. And it's not to say that they 532 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: can't be helpful, but I think a lot of people 533 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: need to understand that to get that clinical effect, as 534 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: you mentioned, you need two to three grams of plant sterols. 535 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: That's like I think it comes to roughly a tablespoon 536 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: of margarine. 537 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 2: A day too. 538 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: Going to eat that, I think too, it's a large amount. 539 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: And I remember my mum used to buy that for 540 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: my dad because he had slightly high co lesterol and 541 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: he would just put like the thinnest spread on his 542 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: toast in the morning. And are saying to Mum, like, 543 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: you're wasting all of that money because unless you have 544 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: the recommended dosage, you're not going to get the clinical effect. 545 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: So are you going to add one to two tablespoons 546 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: of that plant stor or margarine in every single day? 547 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: Because if you're not, like you're essentially just wasting your money, 548 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: you're not going to get that clinical basis. So don't 549 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: forget that. It's really around the dose and the amount 550 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: that is so important to get that clinical effect. So 551 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: if you're going to spend the money, absolutely make sure 552 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: that you get to the recommended dose to have that 553 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: clinical benefit. And if you're not, do a lot of 554 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: other dietary choices. As you mentioned, the milk might be 555 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: a better option because people who regularly drink milk can 556 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: easily include that. But if you are someone who has 557 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: a couple of tablespoons of butter a day, perhaps sobbing 558 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: that to the plant ster or margarine could be a 559 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: really effective strategy to help to reduce your cholesterol, so I. 560 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 2: Would, so I've just had a look. So for ten 561 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 2: percent reduction in cholesterol, two to three serves of the 562 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 2: heart active milk. So, like you said, for someone who's 563 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 2: having a couple of coffees a day or serves of milk, 564 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 2: perhaps in oats in the morning. But for ten percent reduction, again, 565 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 2: you know, I can probably get that from other dietary changes. 566 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 2: So it may be that little add on for people 567 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 2: who are really trying hard and want to try everything. 568 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 2: As it wouldn't be my first port of call, and 569 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 2: nor with the margarines. I think there are better dietary 570 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 2: strategies to reduce inflammation, get a better fat balance, as 571 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 2: we've alluded, to lose a couple of kilos, and as 572 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 2: I said, I can get good results ten percent from that. 573 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: Myself generally definitely focus on adding a serve of healthy 574 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: fats from nuts and seeds each day, a serve of 575 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: legumes each day, and a serve of either rolled oats 576 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: or some really great high fiber whole grain products each day. 577 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: If you focus on those three strategies alone, you're going 578 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 1: to do a lot from a dietary perspective without having 579 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: to spend a ton of money on a lot of 580 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: these more I guess, like formulated food products, which can 581 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: be really great and really helpful for the right person. 582 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: But I guess a lot of us are, you know, 583 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: on budgets these days. It's tough times with this, you know, 584 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: worldwide pandemic, so we always want to present our listers 585 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: with some practical solutions which don't sort of cost the earth. 586 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: So I think that was a really helpful discussion, we 587 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: hope for a lot of people. 588 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 2: SUSI absolutely, And you're right, you know, looking at it 589 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 2: from cholesterol perspective is a good thing to be doing. That. 590 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 2: The simple strategies of less processed food and more better 591 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 2: fat balance are pretty powerful strategies on their own. And yeah, 592 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 2: you always get a second opinion on medication. You want 593 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 2: to have a calcification score on your arteries before rushing 594 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 2: to get medication because there's a lot of dietary strategies 595 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 2: that you can also use. If you don't have high 596 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 2: calcification score, you may find that that's not warranted, so 597 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 2: definitely get some opinions from GP or a specialist cardiologist 598 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 2: in that space. 599 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: And then moving on to our product review of the 600 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: week listener through our Instagram page. If you don't follow us, 601 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: please jump over and give us a follow where at 602 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: the Nutrition Couch podcast on Instagram and we take all 603 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 1: of your messages regarding product reviews, listener questions, case studies, 604 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: and that's how we come up with our content for 605 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: you guys each week. And so a lovely listener has 606 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: sent in she wanted to know if the bond sooy 607 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: version of soy milk was a great choice and if 608 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: soy milk is safe to consume. So absolutely, I think 609 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: soy milk is a really wonderful healthy addition to the diet, 610 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: particularly for those that struggle to digest normal cow's milk 611 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: or perhaps want to follow more of a plant based lifestyle, 612 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: so it can be a really good option. And it's 613 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: the type of plant based milk that's the most similar 614 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: to cow's milk, so as dietitians, it's probably our top recommendation. 615 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 1: If someone says, well, I don't want to drink cow's milk, 616 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: or I can, or I don't tolerate it. Well, soy 617 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: milk is always, probably for most of us, our top 618 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: preference because it is very high in protein and generally 619 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: fortified with enough calcium as well. So this Bonzoi version, 620 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: I know, it's very popular. A lot of the coffee 621 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: shops use it. So if you go and you order 622 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: a soy capputinea or a coffee shop, generally Bonsoi is 623 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: a brand that a lot of the Australian coffee shops 624 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: do use, and I think it's quite good. SUSI. You know, 625 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: per serve which is two hundred and fifty milligrams or 626 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: a cup is just over one hundred calories or five 627 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty killer duels. We've got ten point three 628 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: grams of protein, six grams of total fat, less than 629 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: a gram of saturated fat, nine and a half grams 630 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: of carbohydrates, five of that coming from natural sugars, and 631 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: we've got three and a half grams of fiber. Just 632 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: quite interesting the fiber in them based on the soybeans 633 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: I guess, and sixty three milligrams of calcium. So this 634 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: one is actually quite low in calcium, isn't it compared 635 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: to some of the other soy milks on the market. 636 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 2: By way of history, a few years ago, there was 637 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 2: a drama with bonsoy and the iodine content. So it 638 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 2: was found that the kelp or the seawed they were 639 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 2: using for iodine, which is important for thyroid function, was 640 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 2: like really sky high, which is very dangerous. So that 641 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 2: was quite a few years back, and they've reformulated now 642 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 2: and using a different source of iodine in that product. 643 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 2: I guess my main concern with bonso because there is 644 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 2: I find a bit of a bon Soi big following. 645 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 2: I don't want to say cult, but there's a frequent 646 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 2: people who are very committed to bon sooi for the 647 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 2: flavor and the taste that it gives. And you're absolutely right. 648 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 2: If you're looking for a nutritional profile that's most similar 649 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: to milk, soy is the way to go. But we 650 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 2: will also say that if you've had a history of 651 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 2: any hormonal cancers, you do need to be careful with soy, 652 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 2: so definitely speak to any of your medical professionals about that. 653 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: Because sometimes it is contraindicated if you've had hormonal cancers. 654 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 2: But my greatest issue with bon soy is the calcium 655 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 2: is really really low. Now, there's a huge number of 656 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 2: soy milks out there, and most stuff fortified with calcium 657 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 2: to give about three hundred milligrams per served, similar to 658 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 2: dairy milk, but this is notoriously low at sixty three milligram. 659 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: So if this is your daily milk of choice, if 660 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 2: you're a big soy fan, you know your cafe uses it, 661 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 2: or you buy it at home for your coffee machine, 662 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 2: just be mindful you're getting very little calcium from it. 663 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 2: And that's probably my biggest issue with it. So I 664 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 2: think there are better nutritional varieties of soy milk out 665 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 2: there which have a better nutritional profile, that have vitamin 666 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 2: B twelve, a range of other nutrients, and particularly higher 667 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 2: in calcium. So just be aware if this is your 668 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 2: big favorite when it comes to soy milk, you're not 669 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 2: getting a lot of calcium from it. 670 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: I'm shocked by that, Susie. I didn't. As I was 671 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: reading down the list of the nutritionals, I was like, yeah, 672 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: ticks the box, six box six bucks got down to calcium, 673 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, is that a typo? So yeah, 674 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,959 Speaker 1: I'm quite shocked by that, and I'm not sure if 675 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people out there are aware of how 676 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: low the calcium is, and it's definitely not anywhere near 677 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: what we would recommend, particularly if you're someone who doesn't 678 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm assuming you're drinking soy products, you don't really eat 679 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: a lot of other dairy products, you really don't have 680 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: a lot of calcium in that diet. So a lot 681 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: of us do use those plant based milk alternatives for 682 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: a good source of calcium, and as you mentioned, there 683 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: are other brands that are better that are fortified with 684 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: extra nutrients such as B twelve, which, again, if you're 685 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: living more of a plant based or a vegan lifestyle, 686 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: B twelve is definitely a nutrient of importance as well. So, 687 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the nutritional panel overall is not too bad, 688 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: but really the calcium is a big the big elephant 689 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: in the room, there isn't it. 690 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 2: It is, And someone who enjoys bon SOI is very 691 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 2: committed to the product, which is absolutely fine, but just 692 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 2: be mindful that the type of calcium as well in 693 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 2: some of these plant based milks is not overly well absorbed, 694 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 2: so calcium carbonate is not as well absorbed as calcium 695 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 2: side trate, so again you're just not getting a direct 696 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 2: replication of that product. I sort of when it comes 697 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 2: to plant milks, encourage people to have what they like 698 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 2: and if they do enjoy soy, they're getting the protein 699 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 2: as we've spoken about, but absolutely be very mindful of 700 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 2: the calcium. It's an ongoing issue in Australia. I think 701 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 2: we're going to have a whole issue with bone health 702 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 2: as we've shifted towards more plant based milk. So as 703 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 2: I said, it is really worth making sure you're getting 704 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 2: your calcium from another couple of sauces through the day 705 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 2: because this is quite insignificant. And I'll also say that 706 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 2: the nutritionals on pack are very different to what is 707 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 2: on the website, but the calcium remains quite low. So 708 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 2: these are rough guides of what we've seen nutritionally different 709 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 2: to pack to the website, which is I'm not sure 710 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: which is correct, but in both cases the calcium is 711 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 2: exceptionally low. 712 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, So some good food for thought for our listeners. 713 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 2: It is always check the calcium and protein of your 714 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 2: plant based milks. All right, So our listener question of 715 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 2: the Weekly and is something that I feel very strongly about. 716 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 2: And it actually came via my social media because I 717 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 2: was in a supermarket and I saw these great new 718 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 2: gluten free krouton products that were flavored, and I thought, 719 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 2: oh good, because I love a salad and I love 720 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 2: a crunch as well. I've got a lot of gluten 721 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 2: free clients. And then they had all these great flavors, 722 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 2: Mediterranean Sultan vinegar. I was like, fantastic, I can throw 723 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 2: them in my salad. And then I looked on the 724 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 2: back and it had flavor enhancers. And not only flavor enhancers, 725 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 2: they had six to one, which is also MSG. Now, 726 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 2: we consume MS in our food naturally, so we get 727 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 2: a little bit from very rich tasting foods like cheese 728 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 2: and tomatoes. It's not added. It occurs naturally in glutamates, 729 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 2: and that's why those foods taste so amazing. But the 730 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 2: issue is in processed foods, things like snack food very 731 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 2: common any kind of chicken or cheese flavor will generally 732 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 2: have MSG added in potato chips, rice crackers, two minute 733 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 2: noodles and these kind of This is like a bean 734 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 2: based product that they add these rich flavors to. Now, 735 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 2: some products will include natural flavors. Now you'll see it 736 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 2: clearly labeled, but there's still a surprising number of foods 737 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 2: in supermarket, and particularly children's snack food that have this 738 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 2: six to one added MSG. Now, some people always right 739 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 2: when I post it, why is it so bad for us? Because, 740 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 2: as we say, glutamates naturally occur in foods. Anyway, why 741 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 2: is it so bad to have this molecule added? And 742 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 2: what I will say is when you have flavor in anzers, 743 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 2: whether it's six two one or six three five, is 744 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: that it is proven to basically light the brain up 745 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 2: like an intense flavor. So basically it rhymes the brain 746 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 2: to seek out more of it. And that's why when 747 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 2: you eat corn chips that have this rich cheese flavor 748 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 2: or chicken rice crackers, you can literally eat the entire 749 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,720 Speaker 2: packet because this flavor enhancer, which is not as concentrated 750 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 2: so it's not in its natural form, is priming the 751 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 2: brain to look for more and more of this taste. 752 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 2: And there's a theory that it promotes over consumption. And 753 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 2: so whenever, particularly I'm dealing with children's snack food. I'm 754 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 2: really insistent that it doesn't contain added MSG, which wipes 755 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 2: out a lot of flavored rice crackers and potato chips. 756 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 2: And if there is flavoring, it has to be natural, 757 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 2: because I believe that there is research to show at 758 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 2: primes over consumption of these processed snack foods. And for 759 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 2: some people they react quite badly their MSG in the 760 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 2: sense that they'll have itchy skin, they'll wake up with 761 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 2: quite lucid dreams that can affect people behaviorally, and that's 762 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 2: been well known for many years. But specifically for kids, 763 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 2: I'm really anti it, and I myself will not buy 764 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 2: any product, whether it's a corn chip, potato chip, rice snack, 765 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 2: kids snack food, chicken crimpies notorious and added MSG, because 766 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 2: I think it's bad in terms of promoting over consumption 767 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 2: of this food because of that rich flavor in the mouth. 768 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 2: And so I'm always looking for foods that have no 769 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 2: added MSG or natural flavors only, so check those labels 770 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 2: because it's in a surprising number of foods and a 771 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 2: surprising number of kids snack foods. 772 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm with you. And the other way that 773 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: MSG's marketers is as you mentioned, as the flavor enhance 774 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: a six to two one, So sometimes you won't see 775 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: MSG in a label. You'd just see the number six 776 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: to two one. And it's also called obviously monosodium or 777 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,359 Speaker 1: not obviously, but the full name for it is monosodium 778 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: glue tomate, so you could see that full name written 779 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: on the label as well. So I'm like you, Suzie, like, 780 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: when I actually went through the bulk of the research, 781 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: it is considered quote unquote safe from like an FDA perspective, 782 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 1: Like particularly did a lot of research around America, so 783 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: it's quote unquote safe. There wasn't any real firm evidence 784 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: that it was unhealthy for our diet as such from 785 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: a health perspective. But I'm like you, like, it's just 786 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: that sort of addictionway, Like I remember growing up, my 787 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: mum was always like very anti MSG, and she used 788 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: to say, like, those foods are so Moorish you can't 789 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: stop yourself, And she was absolutely true. The minute you 790 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: pop up in some pringles or some crackers or something 791 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: like that with added MSG, you are hard pressed to 792 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: stop it. What a normal you know, quote unquote portion 793 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: size should be, which might be like, you know, five 794 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 1: or six potato chips, you're very you know, well, I'm 795 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: going to polish off that whole bag because it is 796 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: so Moorish and it is so addictive. So I'm like you, 797 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: I think we over consume far too many highly processed 798 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: foods and so the MSG just adds to that and 799 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: makes it so much easier to do so for our kids. 800 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: Like as it is a it's not naturally occurring, as 801 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: you mentioned, in cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, even seawood, MSG can 802 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: be naturally occurring, and that's absolutely fine. It gives that 803 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 1: beautiful what we call that savor mummy flavor, and it's beautiful. 804 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: It makes those foods rich and tasty. But it's where 805 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: it is added as a food additive that I think 806 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: we need to be really really careful. And you know, 807 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 1: you're seeing it pop up in things like frozen meals. 808 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 1: We're seeing it in salad dressings and mayonnaise. We're seeing 809 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: it in stock cubes and cured meat. It's not just 810 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: our crackers and our chips that you used to be 811 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: back in the day that we're watching out for MSG. 812 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: It's in so many of our products now as well. 813 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: So I personally, being honest and real here do consume 814 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: a little bit of MSG. Like one of my sole 815 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: foods is, you know, a Red Rock Deli flavor of chips, 816 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: which I know probably does have a little bit of 817 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 1: flavored hands is when I'm very conscious of I guess 818 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: the amount of flavored foods that I have and the 819 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,359 Speaker 1: frequency of them as well. 820 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, they've taken it out of Red Rock Deli, so 821 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,280 Speaker 2: I was in Red Rock Deli for a long time. 822 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 2: But the good news is they've taken it out, and 823 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 2: I've noticed Smith's are gradually taking it out of their 824 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 2: cheese flavored chips as well. But I think the ones 825 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 2: that really stand out for me are some of the 826 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 2: kids individual biscuits and some of the snacks I think 827 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 2: that are advertised as healthy, like those bean chips. So 828 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 2: if you as a parent, you're thinking you're doing the 829 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 2: right thing by buying a legum or a bean based chip, 830 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 2: but as soon as you see like sour cream flavored 831 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 2: chicken flavored cheese flavor, often it does have that flavor enhancer. 832 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 2: And as a parent, I'm quite strict. I'm not strict 833 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 2: with everything the kids say, but I don't like them 834 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,839 Speaker 2: consuming flavor andhancer and snack food because again, as we've 835 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 2: said several times now, the over consumption and that need 836 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 2: to eat more and more of the rich flavor food. 837 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 2: So if you scan the back and you see six 838 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 2: two one six y three one off flavor Andhanzer, I 839 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,479 Speaker 2: would steer well clear because the good news is there's 840 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 2: a whole range of snacks that do not have it. 841 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 2: But I think we need to put pressure back on 842 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 2: our food manufacturers that got a lot of attention in 843 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 2: the nineties and a lot of them took it out, 844 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 2: and now they've started to put it back in or 845 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 2: in some of those iconic brands like Chicken Crempies. That's 846 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 2: still there. So I think we need to put that 847 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 2: pressure back on and get rid of it because it's 848 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 2: not good for us. It's really encouraging us to eat 849 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 2: more of that rich process food, and there's better alternatives, 850 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 2: particularly when it comes to snack food. So I had 851 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 2: to put the krutons back on the shelfy and I 852 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 2: was very disappointed back to a boring old salad with 853 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 2: plain croutons. A shame ap. 854 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: Paul Celiacs, don't I don't get too much choice, do 855 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 1: they know? But I agree in terms of children, and 856 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: I think there is a small amount of research in 857 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: terms of sort of behavioral issues as well with too 858 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: much or even just a little bit of flavor hands 859 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: as well, if you're sensitive to it. Yeah, exactly, so 860 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: adults and children as well. Yeah, so MSG can have 861 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: some sort of you know, behavior lynks as well. So 862 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: definitely it's not just the red cord eels and the sugars. 863 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: It's definitely some of the flavor enhancers as well that 864 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: you want to just be very very mindful of. 865 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 2: And we when we post this episode, we will also 866 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 2: put a picture of the back of a product which 867 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 2: has added MSG and circle it so you can know 868 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,959 Speaker 2: what you're looking for. Specifically for the mums and dads 869 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 2: out there who are looking at at snacks for kids, 870 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 2: it's really important. 871 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 1: Food label reading is an important skill, but as you mentioned, 872 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: when you're looking at something that's sort of a cheese 873 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: flavor or a cheese and onion flavor, that's a big 874 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: sort of red flag to get or definitely turn the 875 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 1: label over, because as we said that MSG is that beautiful, 876 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: savory umami type taste which often mimics that sort of 877 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 1: cheese taste, and a lot of crackers and biscuits. So 878 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,760 Speaker 1: that's sort of a big red flag to just quickly 879 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: flip the packet over and look for either the MSG 880 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: or the numbers that we talked about, because that's going 881 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: to give you a good indication of whether or not 882 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: that product contains it. We they're not going to splash 883 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 1: it across the front saying containing MSG. They're not going 884 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: to advertise it out. You're really gonna have to do 885 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 1: your detective looking and look at the nutrition label for. 886 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 2: That one hundred percent. 887 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: So, Susie, that brings us to the end of another 888 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: episode of The Nutrition Couch.
