1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Do you exercise regularly and routinely hit your daily ten 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: thousand step target, yet despite your best efforts, the scales 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,960 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 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: shows that our exercise effectiveness is not always about ticking 6 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: the box on the numbers each day, rather than moving 7 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: in the right way. Hi, I'm Susie Burrow and a 8 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: Leanne Wood, and each week we bring you The Nutrition Couch, 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: the bi weekly podcast keeping you up to date on 10 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: everything you need to know in the world of nutrition, 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: as well as our exercise targets. Today we test road 12 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: test a budget friendly variety of dumplings that Leanne and 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: I are both big fans of, and our weekly recipe 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: is a perfect hot breakfast option to keep you satisfied 15 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: and full now that winter has well and truly arrived. So, Leanne, 16 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: we love to share our hands on case studies because 17 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: I think that they're so telling about what is happening 18 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: in clinic with clients that we're seeing, and of course 19 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: as part of a weight loss program, and both you 20 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: and I specialize in weight loss and we primarily see 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: women for weight loss. You know over the course of 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: say the twelve weeks the twenty four weeks, that we 23 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: may see people different variables come up all the time. 24 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: And so one that we hadn't discussed for a while, 25 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: and you said, I've got a perfect case study was 26 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 1: about incidental exercise. And that certainly resonated with me because 27 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: I certainly have many female clients who're 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 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: day and yet maybe struggling still to see that elusive 30 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: change on the scales. So you were telling me about 31 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: a very interesting client of yours who it demonstrated some 32 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: insight into the importance of incidental movement. Is that Is 33 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: that right? 34 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 2: But firstly, can I say, when you say rotests and dumplings, 35 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: did you bring you some? 36 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: I find that it all I have to go to 37 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: four audis to get the dumplings. Everyone's onto them already, 38 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: I think. But I wanted to talk about dumplings, and 39 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: we'll come back to it because there's a really big 40 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: difference in the nutritional profile of dumplings, and there's a 41 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: couple of things I want people to be really aware 42 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: of when checking them out. So I had to because 43 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: you can't find any audi nutritionals online, which is incredibly frustrating. 44 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: So I had to keep going back to Oltis until 45 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: I found this bag. I've got today to read the 46 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: numbers off. But yeah, they sell out like hotcakes. So 47 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people love my dumpling review. 48 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: So that's coming up. People, you'll have to bring me some. 49 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: I don't think we should do a proper road test 50 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: without a proper taste test. 51 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 2: Next time. 52 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: Fyr she's pregnant people thirty how many weeks a you? 53 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: Forty feels like. 54 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: Forty thirty three or something too pregnant too. 55 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: She's a kid. She's thinking dumplings. 56 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 2: In this stretchy pants stage, not leaving or incidental exercise. 57 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 2: So I have a client, Susie, and she smashed it. 58 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: So I offer a twelve week program. I think she's 59 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: in about week ten with me, and she has lost 60 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: about six kilos so far and she's got another two 61 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: to go to our goal. And I was like, all right, 62 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 2: let's ramp it up for the last couple of two weeks. 63 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 2: So we've hit a plateau. In the last two weeks. 64 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: She's done really, really well. She got a lot of 65 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: weight off quite quickly, and then we sort of plateaued 66 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: for a week or two, and I said, we've got 67 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: three options here. We have a pullback on nutrition, we 68 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: increase exercise, or we bring you out of the deficit altogether. 69 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: We aim to maintain. And we reversed at you and 70 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: she was like, no, no, I've still got two killers 71 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: to my goal. I want to keep going now. Moving 72 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: back on nutrition wasn't really an option. Like, we were 73 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: pretty lean with her nutrition. She was allowed a couple 74 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: of wines a week, She made ninety percent of her 75 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: meals from scratch. She was really passing it if she 76 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: had work lunches. She was choosing lean options. She wasn't 77 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: going towards a bread basket like she was pretty lean. 78 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: We didn't have a lot of wiggle room nutrition wise 79 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: due to her intensive I guess work schedule. We didn't 80 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: really have a lot of room exercise wise either. She 81 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: was sort of doing the mac she could do. So 82 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: I was sort of like, oh, how am I going 83 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: to pull back further in this deficit? Because when a 84 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: client hits a true plateau, like you and I both know, Susie, 85 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: we have a couple of options. We pull back on nutrition, 86 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: we increase exercise, or we just go right, this deficit's 87 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: no longer working. We get you out and we build 88 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: some more calories back in. But I had one wall 89 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: thing up my sleeve, which I thought, you know what, 90 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: we haven't really tried to increase incidental activity. And if 91 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: you look at a lot of the research around loss, 92 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: it's called this neat this non exercise activity thermogenesis. So 93 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: it's really this type of activity or I guess, non 94 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: formal exercise that we wouldn't class as actual exercise. 95 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: So it's just. 96 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: General day to day movement where your body's burning these calories, 97 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: but it's not what we would consider exercise. So I 98 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 2: said to her, I know she does big work calls, 99 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: big conference call. She's often you know, on the phone 100 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: for long periods of time. I said to her, could 101 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 2: you get a headset at work? And she was like, yes, 102 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: but why? And I said, we'll get a headset or 103 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: put some you know, Apple epods in or something like that, 104 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: and I want you to pace at your desk. Her, 105 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: I want you to walk up and down the corridor. 106 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: So when you're in these big, long international conference calls 107 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: or when you're sitting around and you're waiting for clients 108 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: to come off hold or whatever it might be. I 109 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: want you pacing, and I want you sitting at your 110 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: butt at the desk for like ten twelve hours a day. 111 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: She worked really long hours, and she got her exercise 112 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: class in, but it was kind of like, you know, 113 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 2: forty minutes in the gym, and then it was like 114 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: sitting down for about ten hours a day. So the 115 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: first thing we did was get to get a headset 116 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: and actually get some steps out while she was sitting 117 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: around waiting for these calls to connect or people were 118 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: you know, typing away their computer doing something on their end, 119 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: and she wasn't doing too much. The second thing. She 120 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: often would go to a lot of conferences and trainings, 121 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: whether she was presenting, but a lot of the time 122 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: that she was just listening in or like facilitating. And 123 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: I said to her, at those conferences, there's normally morning tea, lunch, 124 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: and afternoon tea, And I said, the last thing you 125 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 2: want to do at a conference, particularly when the goldlest 126 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: fat loss, is overeat when you're barely moving. So she 127 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: took those opportunities at the conference to go for a 128 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: little minie wook at morning tea and afternoon tea. The 129 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 2: dual benefit was that reduced the temptation to eat the 130 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 2: brownies and the you know, the pastries and all that 131 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: sort of thing that was around at that time. She 132 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: got some fresh air, she got a little bit of 133 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: vitamin D when she stepped outside, and she got a 134 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: little bit of steps up as well. We also got 135 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,119 Speaker 2: her when she went to do the weekly grocery shopping. 136 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: She generally went to the shops once or twice a week. 137 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 2: We got out a park on the opposite side to 138 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 2: where like the entrance was to the grocery store to 139 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: the supermarket, so she'd just get a couple of extra 140 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 2: steps going in through the you know, going across the 141 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: car park. And then I also got her to take 142 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: the steps or use you know, the trolley ramp versus 143 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: using the travelators or using the lifts at the shops 144 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 2: as well. And then the final thing we did to 145 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: build up her incidental exercise was just ten minutes of 146 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 2: walking before breaky. She started really early. Sometimes she did 147 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 2: her gym class, sometimes she had a day off. She 148 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: had did that a couple of times a week, and 149 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 2: I said to her, do you have the opportunity to 150 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: go for walk in the morning. She's like, absolutely not. 151 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 2: And I said, what if we focus on for the 152 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 2: next week or two, just a really quick, simple breakfast 153 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: that you either prepped the night before or took you 154 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 2: five minutes in the morning, versus the normal porridge that 155 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: she'd make up, and that would kind of be a 156 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: ten to fifteen minute routine. Whatever it was. I said, 157 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 2: why don't we make some overnight otes. We do some 158 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 2: bakedotes so it's ready to go. And I said, that'll 159 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: free up five or ten minutes in the morning. And 160 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: I got her to just go to the end of 161 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: the street and come back. It was like an extra 162 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 2: ten minutes before breakfast every morning. It doesn't sound like 163 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: a lot, but all of these little things add up 164 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: to big results, and boom, the next week, we jumped 165 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: on the scale. Whod other killer down in a week, 166 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: So it wasn't that it was just what we'd done 167 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: that week. Like I always said to clients, the fat 168 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 2: loss is happening in the background. When you see those 169 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: plateaus on the scale, you don't quit. That's when you go, Okay, 170 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: if I'm not quite at my goal, I need to 171 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: change things up. And for her we couldn't really pull 172 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: back on nutrition. I couldn't get her to do any 173 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: more gym classes, there any more formal activity. We only 174 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: had the hours in the day that we had. We 175 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: couldn't add more hours into her day, even though you 176 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: know how nice would that be. So we just had 177 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: to work with what we had. So we just got 178 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: her moving that little bit more and it paid off tenfold. 179 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 2: And it also doesn't increase your hunger too much. Like 180 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: if I had got her to do an extra three 181 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: gym classes for the week, it would ramp up her hunger. 182 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 2: But just finding these little ways to move her body 183 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: a little bit more in normal parts of her day 184 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: paid off a lot. So if you're going through a 185 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: bit of a plateau or you're finding fat lost heart 186 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: at the moment, focus on that incidental activity. Honestly, it 187 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: really does pay off. 188 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: I could not agree more. I have had this conversation 189 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: with I think three of my clients who are offer 190 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: space workers to who are what I would describe as 191 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: not natural movers. So they're really struggled to get exercise 192 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: in and in particular around utilizing one because so and 193 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a female thing. I 194 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: don't know if this is an office culture thing, but 195 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: so many people just don't take any lunch break at all. 196 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: They work through it, they sit down. So I'll say, 197 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, you get an hour even if you take 198 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: twenty to thirty minutes, walk to the shop, get something 199 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: to eat, have something to eat at your desk, and 200 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: then use it. This is your time. Or it's similar 201 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: to you encouraging clients who are not natural movers to 202 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: at least get on the phone and walk around, or 203 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: if they've got space, hire a treadmill and just hop 204 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: on it, because it has to try and be fitting 205 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: into the day, Whereas I find busy people the idea 206 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: of getting to the gym is great, but it's probably 207 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: taking at least an hour, if not two, out of 208 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: your day. By the time you get there, get changed, 209 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: whereas it's just looking for ways to put it through 210 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: the day. Because we know from research that it doesn't 211 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: matter if you exercise for an hour at high intensity 212 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: if you then sit for the remaining you know, twelve 213 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: fourteen hours, you won't be improving your bluecose metabolism, you 214 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: won't be increasing metabolic rate, you won't be getting the 215 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: glucose benefits come from moving your muscles regularly, so that 216 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: incidental is just as important as high intensity, if not 217 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: more so. So I have, you know, loads of people 218 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: who are overtraining and moving too much and exercising and 219 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: not eating enough, and then I've got another group who 220 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: are doing ticking the box and the bare minimum, but 221 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: then sitting for the remainder of the day. So for 222 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: people who don't love exercise and really find it a struggle, 223 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: I think that's a great strategy of just looking for 224 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: ways to pepper through it. So every hour or two, 225 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: making sure you get up for at least five or 226 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: ten minutes if you've got stairs at home or in 227 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: the office, just doing a few flights, parking the car 228 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: further away, you know, walking up escalator stairs, and certainly 229 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: using your lunch break, even if it's just for ten minutes, 230 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: and rather than thinking about it it is arduous, getting changed, 231 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: doing a walk, getting sweaty, just moving around and picking 232 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: up some bread or milk or having a reason to 233 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: get up makes a massive difference. But it has to 234 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: be a priority, and as I would encourage people to do, 235 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: you have to schedule it. It won't just drop it in, 236 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: particularly if you don't like doing it, so sure, and 237 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: I'll encourage clients and say, look, even if you can 238 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: do it three days of the week, that's going to 239 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: really add up. So that's a really powerful way of 240 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: doing it. And I can think off the top of 241 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: my head, Leanne, of three of my clients who would 242 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: benefit from that and taking that and using it to 243 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: improve their incidental straight away. So I think, very handy, 244 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: practical tip for increasing movement. But onto the most coveted 245 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: segment of the session, dumplings. 246 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 2: The real reason we're here. 247 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: Let's best now. I am a reasonably recent dumpling convert. 248 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: I don't know why. It just took me a while 249 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: to get on board, but my husband would always want 250 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: to go and have dumplings, and I would always be like, oh, 251 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: to carby, you know, not into it. But probably in 252 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: the last three to four years I've really come on board. 253 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: But what really stands out to me, Leanne, is the 254 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: ranging quality. So in supermarket dumplings in particular, I've noticed 255 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: some of the well known chefs labeled brands, not only 256 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: do they have added MSG, which you know is one 257 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: of my pet hates in food flavored Hanser six two 258 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: one or similar is another flavored Hanser six three. I 259 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: don't like it. I think it makes you have restless 260 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: sleep itchy skin, and I think it's not good for 261 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: us to be programmed to have flavor enhancers in food, 262 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: and I reckon at least half the mainstream dumpling brands 263 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: and supermarkets still have flavor enhancers, So that's a hard 264 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: no from me straight away. Second, you have to look 265 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: at the quality of the dumpling, and you can infer 266 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: quality from the additives or the length of the ingredient list, 267 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: but very specifically from the proportion of meat in them 268 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: if you're choosing out, say pork or prawn dumpling. So 269 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 1: what I wanted to talk about today was the Audi brand, 270 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: because we do get quite a lot of questions about 271 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: Audi products, and indeed, I am a big fan of Audi. 272 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: I regularly go and have a few staple items I 273 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: pick when it comes to food products that are the 274 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: same no matter what brand they are, so sliced cheese, 275 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: long life milk. I will always if I can get 276 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: the Audi variety because it's much more cost effective and 277 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: I don't like to pay more for food than you 278 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: should have to. But the Audi dumplings Leanne are known 279 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: to be pretty good, and as I said, it took 280 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: me several attempts to actually get in the store and 281 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: pick them up, so I wanted to profile them. Now 282 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: there's a few different types, but I'm talking about the 283 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: main brand they stock, which is the Urban Eats brand, 284 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: and I've got the Japanese style pork Guyosa, and I've 285 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: just lit up my phone because my eyes are so 286 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: bad I can barely read the labels at the best 287 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: of time, so I'll just run through the ingredient list. 288 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: So this is a pack, actually I should say that 289 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: is very large, seven hundred grams, so that is the 290 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: equivalent I would say of it a feeding a family. 291 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: That is a decent proportion of dumplings. So ten dollars 292 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: very reasonable. So the first ingredient here is wheat flour, 293 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: which is what they'll refer to as the dumping pastry. 294 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: But this one I love because it's twenty seven percent pork, 295 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: so almost thirty percent of that dumpling is meat, which 296 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: is really good. The high levels, you know, some of them, 297 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: you'll see her as long as ten in supermarket. They're 298 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: still they're not what I would call low they're not 299 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: low fat. They've got six point nine grams of fat 300 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: per hundred, so the pork isn't the leanest it could be. 301 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: It could be better quality, but it's still pretty good. 302 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: It's less than ten. And what I also like is 303 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: the added sugars are pretty low, So per hundred grams, 304 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: the added sugars are only two point five which is 305 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: pretty low for a product like a dumpling, which will 306 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: often have a number of flavors and additives. The list 307 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: is pretty clean. You know, wheat flour, pork, cabbage, spring, onion, 308 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: some soy sauce which will naturally have some imstry in it, thickner, 309 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: bit of sugar, salt, and because it's only two point 310 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: five percent sugar, these additives are very small amounts. So 311 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: there's a bit of vegetable oil in there to mix 312 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: it and blend it. But overall it's a really clean list. 313 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: And the sodium per hundred is only three hundred and 314 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: sixty six milligrams, which is also incredibly low for an 315 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: Asian food base. And per hundred grams, which is four 316 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: diosas is almost ten grams of protein, which is high. 317 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: You know, if you had eight coosas and some edimrmae 318 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: beans and some bockchoi. That is a good, healthy, balanced meal, 319 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: and in this case it's also one that is very 320 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: budget for for family. So the carbohydrate is twenty two 321 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: point seven, which is almost two slices of bread for four. 322 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: So it's not a low carb meal, but it's a 323 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: relatively low calorie meal overall, particularly if you have four 324 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: or six as opposed to eight, because it's getting up 325 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: to about two hundred calories per four. Keep in mind 326 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: tho gooses are quite large, they're quite a heavy kind 327 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: of serve as well. So I just wanted to give 328 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: it a big thumbs up because in terms of quality 329 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: of product, in a product that's not necessarily diet sort 330 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: of low calorie or low car but good quality for 331 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: the price, a big thumbs up for those urban eats, 332 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: Japanese style pork gooses and the prawn ones and the 333 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: veggie ones are all really good, and most importantly they 334 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: don't have added MSG, which is quite rare when you 335 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: start to look. There's only a couple of supermarket brands 336 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: out there, and certainly none of the celebrity chefs, which 337 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: is really disappointing. Have a dumpling that either has a 338 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: high proportion of meat or don't contain added MSG. So yeah, 339 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: worth a look and if you can track them down, 340 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: certainly my pick one of my top picks when it 341 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: comes to supermarket dumplings. 342 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 2: Go Aldi. 343 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me what you think, because you're a bit 344 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: of a dumpling expert. Given Sophie Leanne's mum is an 345 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: expert on all things cuisines. What do you guys think 346 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: she does? She makes amazing dumplings and amazing prawn toos. 347 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: And I must say, back in the day, I did 348 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: used to make my dumplings swim scratch, but these days 349 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: I just do not have time. So I'm going to 350 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: head to Aldi and I'm going to try some of them. 351 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: But they sound great to me. I love nothing more 352 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: than serving them with some Asian greens, a little bit 353 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: of sort of oyster sauce, sort of a sesame oil, 354 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: and you know, just some some sesame seeds on top. Really, 355 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: I think that's a perfect dinner all putting them into 356 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: a really nice broth with some you know, green beans, 357 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: buck toy mushrooms, that sort of thing into a nice 358 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: like miso style soy brost so it is quite high 359 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: in salt, but I think for winter you can't beat 360 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: it's delicious. I'd probably more likely have this as a 361 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: higher carb lunch with more dumplings and then like you 362 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: described as a soup tons of veggia with less to 363 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: keep the calves under control if your goal is fat loss, 364 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: and make sure you're choosing a salt reduice soy as well. 365 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: That's another tip. All right lye To finish off our 366 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: weekly motivational episode, we're going to share a warm breakfast 367 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: option today because I know a lot of my clients 368 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: are struggling with feeling bored with breakfast or stick of eggs, 369 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: and this is a bit of a breakfast bake, I 370 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: would call it, so you could actually double it as 371 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: a dessert. But it's an apple and blueberry musicly crumble, 372 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: so you could either make it in a big dish 373 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: baked baking dish, or you could make it in individual 374 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: little pots. And it's got a huge amount of fruit 375 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: in it for large Grani Smith apples, one hundred and 376 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: twenty big grams of blueberries fresh or frozen, because at 377 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: the moment the berry prices is increased with just a 378 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: little bit of sugar. You could use a sugar replacement, 379 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: although it won't mix as well, a bit of lemon 380 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: juice and corn flour, just mixing that together and then 381 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: topping it with some MUSICI now you could do it 382 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: an oat base. You could do a gluten free musically, 383 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: or you could do something like the Carmen's fruit free 384 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: which is my personal favorite. Cuppa plain flour. Now, you 385 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: could certainly use whole meal, and you could also certainly 386 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: use gluten free, and I've used generally, I used butter 387 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: half a cup of butter softened. But again, if you 388 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: wanted to muck around with it, you could probably lower 389 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: the fat by using a bit of olive oil and lessening. 390 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: That about all you have to do is preheat the oven, 391 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: combine the fruit and the first ingredients of corn, four 392 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: and sugar, add it to a pie or muffin dish, 393 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: and then top with the crumble mixture, and then bake 394 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: it for about forty five minutes and you've got a delicious, 395 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: healthier dessert warming breakfast bowl. And if you wanted to 396 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: lighten the breakfast mix, you could use less of the 397 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: crumble and then serve it with a high protein Greek yogurt, 398 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: and it would be a delicious, warm breakfast option that 399 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: would keep you full until I would say lunchtime if 400 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: you load the protein up. So we'll pop that up 401 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: on our Instagram. But yeah, just for a little bit 402 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: of recipe, inspirational variety. That is a very easy recipe, 403 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: pretty clean on the ingredients. You can fiddle it a 404 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: little bit if you want to lower the fat from 405 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: the butter, and delicious, so serves as a nice breakfast 406 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: dessert if you're looking for something a bit more indulgent 407 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: on these chili winter mornings. 408 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 2: That's amazing. And I'd even take the crumble and a 409 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 2: little bit of the fruit and use that on a 410 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 2: bit of Greek yogurt as like an afternoon tea snack 411 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 2: or a pre gym snack. I think would be a 412 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: great option as well. Obviously a smaller portion if you're 413 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 2: not eating it as a main meal, but I think 414 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 2: that would go really really well on top of it, 415 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 2: a little bit of yogurt for a snack as well. 416 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: Because I find people who love granola and musley can 417 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: really struggle with portions because it's so delicious. So I 418 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: find if you use it as that crunch or flavor 419 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: through a protein yogurt or even a cottage cheesey, and 420 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: it is still all the taste and flavor and fiber, 421 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: but keeping the portion a bit more balanced so you 422 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: don't keep just eating the cereal with extra milk, which 423 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: is where you tip on that glucose trigger in the brain. 424 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: We're actually going to talk about that in our next episode, 425 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: so stay tuned if you're interested in blood glucos control. 426 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 2: Well. 427 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: That brings us to the end of the Nutrition Couch 428 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: for another midweek Motivational Wednesday episode. Tell your friends about 429 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: it so we can continue to grow.
