1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Do you exercise regularly and routinely hit your daily ten 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: thousand step target, yet despite your best efforts, the scales 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: simply will not budge. On today's midweek motivational episode of 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: The Nutrition Couch podcast, Leanne shares a case study which 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: shows that our exercise effectiveness is not always about ticking 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: the box on the numbers each day, rather than moving 7 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: in the right way. Hi, I'm Susie Burrow and Olean Wood, 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: and each week we bring you The Nutrition Couch, the 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: bi weekly podcast keeping you up to date on everything 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: you need to know in the world of nutrition, as 11 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: well as our exercise targets. Today we test road tests 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: a budget friendly variety of dumplings that Leanne and I 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: are both big fans of, and our weekly recipe is 14 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: a perfect hot breakfast option to keep you satisfied and 15 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: full now that winter has well and truly arrived. So Leanne, 16 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: we love to share our hands on case studies because 17 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: I think that they're so telling about what is happening 18 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: in clinic with clients that we're seeing, and of course 19 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: as part of a weight loss program, and both you 20 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: and I specialize in weight loss and we primarily see 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: women for weight loss. You know over the course of 22 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: say the twelve weeks the twenty four weeks, that we 23 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: may see people. Different variables come up all the time. 24 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: And so one that we hadn't discussed for a while, 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: and you said, I've got a perfect case study was 26 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: about incidental exercise. And that certainly resonated with me because 27 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: I certainly have many female clients whore going to the 28 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: gym but also getting way above ten thousand steps per 29 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: day and yet maybe struggling still to see that elusive 30 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: change on the scales. So you were telling me about 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: a very interesting client of yours who it demonstrated some 32 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: insight into the importance of incidental movement. Is that? Is 33 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: that right? 34 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: But firstly, can I say, when you say rotests and dumplings, 35 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: did you bring yourself? 36 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: I find that I have to go to four audis 37 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: to get the dumplings. Everyone's onto them already, I think. 38 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: But I wanted to talk about dumplings and we'll come 39 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: back to it because there's a really big difference in 40 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: the nutritional profile of dumplings, and there's a couple of 41 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: things I want people to be really aware of when 42 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: checking them out. So I had to because you can't 43 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: find any audi nutritionals online, which is incredibly frustrating. 44 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: It's so annoying. 45 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,679 Speaker 1: I had to keep going back to Outis until I 46 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: found this bag. I've got today to read the numbers off. 47 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, they sell out like hotcakes. So I think 48 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people love my dumpling review. So that's 49 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: coming up. People, you'll have. 50 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: To bring me some. I don't think we should do 51 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 2: a proper road test without a proper taste test next time. 52 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: FYI, she's pregnant people, thirty how many weeks? 53 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: Again? Forty feels like forty thirty three or something too 54 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: pregnant too. She's a kid, she's thinking dumplings in this 55 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: stretchy pants stage, not leaving or right incidental exercise. So 56 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: I have a client, Susie, and she smashed it. So 57 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: I offer a twelve week program. I think she's in 58 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: about week ten with me, and she has lost about 59 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 2: six kilos so far, and she's got another two to 60 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: go to our goal. And I was like, all right, 61 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 2: let's ramp it up for the last couple of two weeks. 62 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 2: So we've hit a plata in the last two weeks. 63 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: She's done really, really well. She got a lot of 64 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: weight off quite quickly, and then we sort of plateaued 65 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: for a week or two, and I said, we've got 66 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: three options here. We have the pullback on nutrition, we 67 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: increase exercise, or we bring you out of the deficit altogether. 68 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: We aim to maintain. And we reversed at you and 69 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: she was like, no, no, I've still got two killers 70 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: to my goal. I want to keep going now. Moving 71 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: back on nutrition wasn't really an option, Like, we were 72 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 2: pretty lean with her nutrition. She was allowed a couple 73 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: of wines a week, She made ninety percent of her 74 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: meals from scratch. She was really passing it if she 75 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: had work lunches. She was choosing lean options. She wasn't 76 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: going towards a bread basket like she was pretty lean. 77 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: We didn't have a lot of wiggle room nutrition wise 78 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: due to her intensive I guess work schedule. We didn't 79 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: really have a lot of room exercise wise either. She 80 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: was sort of doing the mac she could do. So 81 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: I was sort of like, oh, how am I going 82 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: to pull back further in this deficit? Because when a 83 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: client hits a true plateau, like you and I both know, Susie, 84 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: we have a couple of options. We pull back on nutrition, 85 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: we increase exercise, or we just go right, this deficit 86 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: is no longer working. We get you out and we 87 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: build some more calories back in. But I had a 88 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: one molet thing up my sleeve, which I thought, you 89 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: know what, we haven't really tried to increase incidental activity. 90 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: And if you look at a lot of the research 91 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: around that loss, it's called this neat this non exercise 92 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: activity thermogenesis. So it's really this type of activity or 93 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: I guess, non formal exercise that we wouldn't class as 94 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: actual exercise. So it's just general day to day movement 95 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: where your body's burning these calories, but it's not what 96 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 2: we would consider exercise. So I said to her, I 97 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: know she does big work calls, big conference call. She's 98 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,799 Speaker 2: often you know, on the phone for long periods of time. 99 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 2: I said to her, could you get a headset at work? 100 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: And she was like, yes, but why? And I said, 101 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 2: we'll get a headset or put some you know, Apple 102 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: epods in or something like that, and I want you 103 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: to pace at your desk. Her, I want you to 104 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: walk up and down the corridor. So when you're in 105 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 2: these big long international conference calls or when you're sitting 106 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: around and you're waiting for clients to come off hold 107 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: or whatever it might be. I want you pacing, and 108 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 2: I want you sitting at your butt at the desk 109 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: for like ten twelve hours a day. She worked really 110 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: long hours, and she got her exercise class in, but 111 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: it was kind of like, you know, forty minutes in 112 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: the gym, and then it was like sitting down for 113 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: about ten hours a day. So the first thing we 114 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 2: did was get to get a headset and actually get 115 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: some steps out while she was sitting around waiting these 116 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 2: calls to connect or people were you know, typing away 117 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 2: their computer doing something on their end, and she wasn't 118 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: doing too much. The second thing she often would go 119 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: to a lot of conferences and trainings, whether she was presenting, 120 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: but a lot of the time that she was just 121 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: listening in or like facilitating. And I said to her, 122 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 2: at those conferences, there's normally morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea. 123 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: And I said, the last thing you want to do 124 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 2: at a conference, particularly when the goldlest fat loss, is 125 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: overeat when you're barely moving. So she took those opportunities 126 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: at the conference to go for a little minie wook 127 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 2: at morning tea and afternoon tea. The dual benefit was 128 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: that reduced the temptation to eat the brownies and the 129 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: you know, the pastries and all that sort of thing 130 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 2: that was around at that time. She got some fresh air, 131 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 2: she got a little bit of vitamin D when she 132 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 2: stepped outside, and she got a little bit of steps 133 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: up as well. We also got her when she went 134 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: to do the weekly grocery shopping. She only went to 135 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 2: the shops once or twice a week. We got at 136 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: a park on the opposite side to where like the 137 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: entrance was to the grocery store to the supermarket, so 138 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: she'd just get a couple of extra steps going in 139 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: through the you know, going across the car park. And 140 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: then I also got to take the steps or use 141 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: you know, the trolley ramp versus using the travelators or 142 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 2: using the lifts at the shops as well. And then 143 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: the final thing we did to build up her incidental 144 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: exercise was just ten minutes of walking before breaky. She 145 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 2: started really early. Sometimes she did her gym class, sometimes 146 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 2: she had a day off. She had did that a 147 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 2: couple of times a week, and I said to her, 148 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 2: do you have the opportunity to go for a walk 149 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: in the morning. She's like, absolutely not. And I said, 150 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 2: what if we focus on for the next week or two, 151 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: just a really quick, simple breakfast that you either prepped 152 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: the night before or took her five minutes in the morning, 153 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 2: versus the normal porridge that she'd make up, and that 154 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 2: would kind of be a ten to fifteen minute routine. 155 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: Whatever it was. 156 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: I said, why don't we make some overnight ootes, We 157 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: do some bakedotes so it's ready to go. And I said, 158 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: that'll free up five or ten minutes in the morning. 159 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: And I got her to just go to the end 160 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: of the street and come back. It was like an 161 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 2: extra ten minutes before breakfast every morning. It doesn't sound 162 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 2: like a lot, but all of these little things add 163 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 2: up to big results, and boom, the next week we 164 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: jumped on the scale whole another killer down in a week. 165 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 2: So it wasn't that it was just what we'd done 166 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: that week. Like I always said a client, so fat 167 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 2: loss is happening in the background. When you see those 168 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: plateaus on the scale, you don't quit. That's when you go, Okay, 169 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: if I'm not quite at my goal, I need to 170 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: change things up. And for her, we couldn't really pull 171 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: back on nutrition. I couldn't get her to do any 172 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: more gym classes or any more formal activity. We only 173 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 2: had the hours in the day that we had. We 174 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: couldn't add more hours into her day, even though you 175 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: know how nice would that be. So we just had 176 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 2: to work with what we had. So we just got 177 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: her moving that little bit more and it paid off tenfold. 178 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: And it also doesn't increase your hunger too much. Like 179 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: if I had got her to do an extra three 180 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 2: gym classes for the week, it would ramp up her hunger. 181 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: But just finding these little ways to move her body 182 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: a little bit more in normal parts of her day 183 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: paid off a lot. So if you're going through a 184 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 2: bit of a plateau you're finding fat loss hard at 185 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: the moment, focus on that incidental activity. Honestly, it really 186 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: does pay off. 187 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: I could not agree more. I have had this conversation 188 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: with I think three of my clients who are offer 189 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: space workers to who are what I would describe as 190 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: not natural movers, So they're really struggled to get exercise 191 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: in and in particular around utilizing line breaks because so 192 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: and I don't know if this is a female thing. 193 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is an office culture thing, 194 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: but so many people just don't take any lunch break 195 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: at all. They work through it, they sit down. So 196 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: I'll say, you know, you get an hour even if 197 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: you take twenty to thirty minutes, walk to the shop, 198 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: get something to eat, have something to eat at your desk, 199 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: and then use it. This is your time. Or it's 200 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: similar to you encouraging clients who are not natural movers 201 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: to at least get on the phone and walk around, 202 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: or if they've got space, hire a treadmill and just 203 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: hop on it, because it has to try and be 204 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: fitting into the day, Whereas I find busy people the 205 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: idea of getting to the gym is great, but it's 206 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: probably taking at least an hour, if not two, out 207 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: of your day. By the time you get there, get changed, 208 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: whereas it's just looking for ways to put it through 209 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: the day. Because we know from research that it doesn't 210 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: matter if you exercise for an hour at high intensity 211 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: if you then sit for the remaining you know, twelve 212 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: fourteen hours, you won't be improving your bluecose metabolism, you 213 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: won't be increasing metabolic rate, you won't be getting the 214 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: glucose benefits come from moving your muscles regularly, so that 215 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: incidental is just as important as high intensity, if not 216 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: more so. So. I have, you know, loads of people 217 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: who are overtraining and moving too much and exercising and 218 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: not eating enough, and then I've got another group who 219 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: are doing ticking the box and the bare minimum, but 220 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: then sitting for the remainder of the day. So for 221 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: people who don't love exercise and really find it a struggle, 222 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a great strategy of just looking for 223 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: ways to pepper through it. So every hour or two, 224 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: making sure you get up for at least five or 225 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: ten minutes if you've got stairs at home or in 226 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: the office, just doing a few flights, parking the car 227 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: further away, you know, walking up escalator stairs, and certainly 228 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: using your lunch break, even if it's just for ten minutes, 229 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: and rather than thinking about it it is arduous, getting changed, 230 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: doing a walk, getting sweaty, just moving around and picking 231 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: up some bread or milk or having a reason to 232 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: get up makes a massive difference. But it has to 233 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: be a priority, and as I would encourage people to do, 234 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: you have to schedule it. It won't just drop it 235 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: in particularly if you don't like doing it, so sure, 236 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: and I'll encourage clients and say, look, even if you 237 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: can do it three days of the week, that's going 238 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: to really add up. So that's a really powerful way 239 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: of doing it. And I can think off the top 240 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: of my head, Leanne, of three of my clients who 241 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: would benefit from that and taking that and using it 242 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: to improve their incidental straightaway. So I think, very handy, 243 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: practical tip for increasing movement. But onto the most coveted 244 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,479 Speaker 1: segment of the session, dumplings. 245 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 2: The real reason we're here. 246 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: Let's be honest. Now, I am a reasonably recent dumpling convert. 247 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: I don't know why. It just took me a while 248 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: to get on board, but my husband would always want 249 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: to go and have dumplings, and I would always be like, 250 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: oh to Carby, you know, not into it. But probably 251 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: in the last three to four years I've really come 252 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: on board. But what really stands out to me, Leanne, 253 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: is the ranging quality. So in supermarket dumplings in particular, 254 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: I've noticed some of the well known chef's labeled brands 255 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: not only do they have added MSG, which you know 256 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: is one of my pet hates in food flavor and 257 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: Hanser six two one or similar is another flavor and 258 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: Hanser six I don't like it. I think it makes 259 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: you have restless sleep itchy skin, and I think it's 260 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: not good for us to be programmed to have flavor 261 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: enhancers in food, and I reckon at least half the 262 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 1: mainstream dumpling brands and supermarkets still have flavor enhancers, So 263 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: that's a hard no from me straight away. Second, you 264 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: have to look at the quality of the dumpling, and 265 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: you can infer quality from the additives or the length 266 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: of the ingredient list, but very specifically from the proportion 267 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: of meat in them if you're choosing out, say pork 268 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: or prawn dumpling. So what I wanted to talk about 269 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: today was the Audi brand, because we do get quite 270 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: a lot of questions about Audi products, and indeed, I 271 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: am a big fan of Audi. I regularly go and 272 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: have a few staple items I pick when it comes 273 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: to food products that are the same no matter what 274 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: brand they are, so sliced cheese, long life milk. I 275 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: will always if I can get the Audi variety because 276 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: it's much more cost effective and I don't like to 277 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: pay more for food than you should have to. But 278 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: the Audi dumplings Leanne are known to be pretty good, 279 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: and as I said, it took me several attempts to 280 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: actually get in the store and pick them up, so 281 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to profile them. Now there's a few different types, 282 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: but I'm talking about the main brand they stock, which 283 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: is the Urban Eats brand, And I've got the Japanese 284 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: style pork Guyosa, and I've just lit up my phone 285 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: because my eyes are so bad I can barely read 286 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: the labels at the best of time, so I'll just 287 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: run through the ingredient list. So this is a pack 288 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: actually I should say that is very large, seven hundred grams, 289 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: so that is the equivalent I would say of it 290 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: a feeding a family. That is a decent proportion of dumplings. 291 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: So ten dollars very reasonable. So the first ingredient here 292 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: is wheat flour, which is what they'll refer to as 293 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: the dumpling pastry. But this one I love because it's 294 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: twenty seven percent pork, so almost thirty percent of that 295 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: dumpling is meat, which is really good. The high levels, 296 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: you know, some of them. You'll see her as long 297 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: as ten in supermarket. They're still they're not what I 298 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: would call low. They're not low fat. They've got six 299 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: point nine grams of fat per hundred, so the pork 300 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: isn't the leanest it could be. It could be better quality, 301 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: but it's still pretty good. It's less than ten. And 302 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: what I also like is the added sugars are pretty low, 303 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: So per hundred grams, the added sugars are only two 304 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: point five, which is pretty low for a product like 305 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: a dumpling, which will often have a number of flavors 306 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: and additives. The list is pretty clean. You know, wheat, flour, pork, cabbage, spring, onion, 307 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: some soy sauce which will naturally have some admistry in it, thickner, 308 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: bit of sugar, salt, and because it's only two point 309 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: five percent sugar, these additives are very small amounts. So 310 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: there's a bit of vegetable oil in there to mix 311 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: it and blend it. But overall it's a really clean list. 312 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: And the sodium per hundred is only three hundred and 313 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: sixty six milligrams, which is also incredibly low for an 314 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 1: Asian food base. And per hundred grams, which is four 315 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: coosas is almost ten grams of protein, which is high. 316 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: You know, if you had eight coosas and some edimrmaie 317 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: beans and some bockchoi, that is a good, healthy, balanced meal, 318 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: And in this case it's also one that is very 319 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: budget for for family. So the carbohydrate is twenty two 320 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: point seven, which is almost two slices of bread for four. 321 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: So it's not a low carb meal, but it's a 322 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: relatively low calorie meal overall, particularly if you have four 323 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: or six as opposed to eight, because it's getting up 324 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: to about two hundred calories per four. Keep in mind 325 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: the gooses are quite large, they're quite a heavy kind 326 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: of serve as well. So I just wanted to give 327 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: it a big thumbs up because in terms of quality 328 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: of product in a product that's not necessarily diet sort 329 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: of low calorie or low car but good quality for 330 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: the price, a big thumbs up for those urban eats, 331 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: Japanese style port gooses and the prawn ones and the 332 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: veggie ones are all really good, and most importantly, they 333 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: don't have added MSG, which is quite rare when you 334 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: start to look. There's only a couple of supermarket brands 335 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: out there, and certainly none of the celebrity chefs, which 336 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: is really disappointing have a dumpling that either has a 337 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: high proportion of meat or don't contain added MSG. So yeah, 338 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: worth a look and if you can track them down, 339 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: certainly my pick one of my top picks when it 340 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: comes to supermarket dumplings. 341 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 2: Go Aldi. 342 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me what you think, because you're a bit 343 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: of a dumpling expert. Given Sophie Leanne's mum is an 344 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: expert on all things cuisines. What do you guys think 345 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: she does? 346 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: She makes amazing dumplings and amazing prawn toos. And I 347 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: must say, back in the day, I did used to 348 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: make my dumplings swim scratch, but these days I just 349 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: do not have time. So I'm going to head to 350 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: Aldi and I am going to try some of them. 351 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: But they sound great to me. I love nothing more 352 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: than serving them with some Asian greens, a little bit 353 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: of sort of oyster sauce, sort of a sesame oil, 354 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 2: and you know, just some sesame seeds on top. Really, 355 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: I think that's a perfect dinner all putting them into 356 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 2: a really nice broth with some you know, green beans, 357 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: buck toy mushrooms, that's sort of thing into a nice 358 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 2: like misso style soy broth, so it is quite high 359 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 2: in salt, but I think for winter you can't beat 360 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: it's delicious. 361 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: I'd probably more likely have this as a higher carb 362 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: lunch with more dumplings and then like you described as 363 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: a soup tons of veggia with less to keep the 364 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: calves under control. If your goal, use fat loss and 365 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: make sure you're choosing a salt reducee soy as well. 366 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: That's another tip all right Ly. To finish off our 367 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: weekly motivational episode, we're going to share a warm breakfast 368 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: option today because I know a lot of my clients 369 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: are struggling with feeling bored with breakfast or stick of eggs, 370 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: and this is a bit of a breakfast bake, I 371 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: would call it, so you could actually double it as 372 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: a dessert. But it's an apple and blueberry musically crumble, 373 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: so you could either make it in a big dish 374 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: baked baking dish, or you could make it in individual 375 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: little pots. And it's got a huge amount of fruit 376 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: in at for large Grani Smith apples, one hundred and 377 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: twenty five grams of blueberries fresh or frozen, because at 378 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: the moment the berry prices is increased with just a 379 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: little bit of sugar. You could use a sugar replacement, 380 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: although it won't mix as well, a bit of lemon 381 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: juice and corn flour, just mixing that together and then 382 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: topping it with some musley. Now you could do it 383 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: an oat based You could do a gluten free musically, 384 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: or you could do something like the Carmen's fruit free 385 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: which is my personal favorite. Copper plain flour. Now, you 386 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: could certainly use whole meal, and you could also certainly 387 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: use gluten free, and I've used generally, I used butter 388 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: half a cup of butter softened. But again, if you 389 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: wanted to muck around with it, you could probably lower 390 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: the fat by using a bit of olive oil and lessening. 391 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: That about all you have to do is preheat the oven, 392 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: combine the fruit and the first ingredients, the corn, four 393 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: and sugar, add it to a pie or muffin dish, 394 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: and then top with the crumble mixture, and then bake 395 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: it for about forty five minutes and you've got a delicious, 396 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: healthier dessert warming breakfast bowl. And if you wanted to 397 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: lighten the breakfast mix, you could use less of the 398 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: crumble and then serve it with a high protein Greek yogurt, 399 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: and it would be a delicious, warm breakfast option that 400 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: would keep you full until I would say lunchtime if 401 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: you load the protein up. So we'll pop that up 402 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: on our Instagram. But yeah, just for a little bit 403 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: of recipe, inspirational variety. That is a very easy recipe, 404 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: pretty clean on the ingredients. You can fiddle it a 405 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: little bit if you want to lower the fat from 406 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: the butter, and delicious so serves as a nice breakfast 407 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: dessert if you're looking for something a bit more indulgent 408 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: on these chili winter mornings. 409 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 2: That's amazing. And I'd even take the crumble and a 410 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 2: little bit of the fruit and use that on a 411 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 2: bit of Greek yogurt as like an afternoon tea snack 412 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 2: or a pre gym snack. I think would be a 413 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 2: great option as well. Obviously a smaller portion if you're 414 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 2: not eating it as a main meal, but I think 415 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 2: that would go really really well on top of it, 416 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: a little bit of yogurt for a snack as well, 417 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 2: because I. 418 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: Find people who love granola and musley can really struggle 419 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: with portions because it's so delicious. So I find if 420 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: you use it as that crunch or flavor through a 421 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: protein yogurt or even a cottage cheeseley and it is 422 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: still all the taste and flavor and fiber, but keeping 423 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: the portion a bit more balanced so you don't keep 424 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: just eating the cereal with extra milk, which is where 425 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: you tip on that bluecose trigger in the brain. And 426 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: we're actually going to talk about that in our next episode, 427 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: so stay tuned if you're interested in blood wickos control. Well, 428 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: that brings us to the end of the Nutrition Couch 429 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: for another midweek Motivational Wednesday episode.
