1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Do you take any supplements? What do you take?

When chatting to clients, 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: we often hear that they are taking a number of 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: different supplements and sometimes it can be a case of 6 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: taking too many things. So in today's episode of The 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: Nutrition Couch, we deep dive the world of supplements and 8 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: chat the ones that you may need and the ones 9 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: you probably don't. 10 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: Hi. 11 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: I'm Susie Burrow and Emily and wod and together we 12 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,639 Speaker 1: bring you The Nutrition Couch, the weekly podcast that keeps 13 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: you up to date on everything you need to know 14 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: in the world of nutrition, as well as all things 15 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: ups Today well not today, but in general. It's almost 16 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: party season, which means that there is plenty of extra 17 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: food and drink around. So we're going to talk through 18 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: some of the steps that you can take when you 19 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: have overdone things a little bit. Leanne has found a 20 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: new high protein pasta in the supermarket, and our listener 21 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: question is all about fasting and whether we all should 22 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: be doing it. So lean to kick us off today. 23 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: We are fresh back from our inaugural Nutrition Couch retreat 24 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: that we had last weekend at Pepper's Resort in Kingscliffe. 25 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: It was a sellout event and you had wanted to 26 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: run a retreat ever since we literally started the podcast. 27 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: Now you've been saying you want to go to Hawaii 28 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: for a retreat, which I think I'm very open to. 29 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: So if anyone's keen for that, do email us at 30 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: admin at the Nutritioncouch dot com. But we were sort 31 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: of blown away because we, like everyone, all busy working women, 32 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: we hadn't had a lot of time to really think 33 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: about it. Like we sort of thought, let's give it 34 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: a good go and see how it runs. And I'm 35 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: right to say that it could not have gone better. 36 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, it was just it was so fun and 37 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: it was so I was explaining to one of my 38 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 2: clients just this morning and she was like, how wasn't 39 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 2: I said, it was just twenty of the most random 40 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: group of women, but it just works. Everyone who was 41 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: just so lovely. But we had people flying in from 42 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: all of Australia, you know, we had top doctors and 43 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: lawyers all the way down to you know, women who 44 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: lived on the farm. Like we just had such a 45 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: random group of people that you wouldn't normally put in 46 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: a room together, but it just works so beautiful in 47 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: because everybody was just there for themselves. They were just like, 48 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: I need to take a moment, I need to look 49 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: after myself better. I'm busy. I never do things like this, 50 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: And it was just so lovely and everybody was sharing 51 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: ideas and stories and you know, just bouncing off each 52 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: other in a really wonderful way. And everybody was just 53 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: so open and so welcoming and honestly, couldn't have gone better. 54 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: I think that the thing that united everyone was that 55 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: they were such amazing fans and supporters of the podcast. 56 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: I think you and I always shocked, like we know 57 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: a lot of people listen because we've almost I think 58 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: we must over be pretty close if not five million 59 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: downloads now, which is only in three years, so it's 60 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: pretty reasonable number. So we know a lot of people listen, 61 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: and we're very grateful. But when people actually come up 62 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: to you and tell you that it's changed their life, 63 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: it's like really emotional. And someone said to me that 64 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: the retreat and I agree with you, Like it was 65 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: such a beautiful group of people that all just got on, 66 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: Like we were at dinner and they were all talking 67 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: and we were like shoved down the end. No one 68 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: even wanted to talk to us, like they were also 69 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: happy together, which was great. We had Tanil, who was 70 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: a local yoga and Pilate's instructor who took the ladies 71 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: through a very well attended session each day, we did 72 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: beach walks. The food was unbelievably good in terms of 73 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: our requirements of being sort of heavy on the vegetables 74 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: and lean protein, and it was just a really nice experience. 75 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: But we also a big part of the retreat was 76 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 1: having a one on one consult and so we got 77 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: to know everyone really well, and it was really quite 78 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: emotional talking and hearing some of the stories and the 79 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: way the podcasts had positively impacted people or you know, 80 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: how that improved their health or how they were taking 81 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: time out for their health. And one of the ladies 82 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: said to me, was I tired at the end, And 83 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: I said, actually, I feel really quite invigorated because when 84 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: you do such meaningful work and are reminded of that, 85 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: because let's be honestly, and we're just in survival most 86 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: of the time, Like I'm like literally sending you a 87 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: script two minutes before we record, like we're just flying 88 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: by the seat of our pants every day man, so 89 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: to sort of sit back and hear, you know, such 90 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: positive feedback and the effect that's had on people's lives. 91 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: Who is really, really nice. So we're all really motivated. 92 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: So if you're thinking maybe you'd like to take two 93 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: or three days out of the schedule to really immerse 94 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: in your health and well being, we are planning another 95 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: one and maybe two in March.

But it really I don't want to say 101 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: I was surprised, but I really am almost shocked how 102 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: well it's gone. And there's just a need for evidence 103 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: based information to be delivered in a way that's user 104 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: friendly to busy women. So bring it on. 105 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I will just say that we've had a 106 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 2: lot of emails, a lot of big expressions of interest. 107 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 2: Because of that, we've had well over one hundred women 108 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: express interests. I haven't got the time to email everybody back, 109 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 2: So if you've emailed me your name is on the waitlist. 110 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: Once we finalize the dates and the locations and everything 111 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: for next year, we will email everybody on the waitlist 112 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 2: out the details. So if we haven't received a reply, 113 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: I do apologize at advance, but we'll do that in 114 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 2: a big group email to let everybody know what all 115 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 2: the details are and then if it's suit you, if 116 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 2: the weekend works for you, if the location works. We 117 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: are ninety five percent sure the one in March will 118 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 2: be at the same place at Peppers Kingscliff. So we 119 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: had women flying in from all over Australia. We actually 120 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: had two inquiries from New Zealand as well, but due 121 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: to the tight and timing of it, they just couldn't 122 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: make it work with their work schedule. So you were 123 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: welcome if you're listening from overseas, if you've always wanted 124 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: to come to Australia, Kingscliff is the most beautiful part 125 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 2: you know of the world. It's really stunning down there, 126 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: and March will be a really, really nice time a 127 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 2: year there as well. And what I found really surprising 128 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: was Susie. Two of our lovely ladies were sisters and 129 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: two were almost like best friends and the other sixteen 130 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: ladies were basically just flying solo. Look, I didn't expect 131 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: so many people to come by themselves, and I just 132 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 2: love that. I love that they were like, I'm doing 133 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: this for me, this is important to me. I'm going 134 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 2: to take charge of my health. I'm just going to 135 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: come and mingle with a group of like minded women 136 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 2: all weekend. And it was amazing. I honestly thought we'd 137 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 2: see just groups of friends and everybody coming with a body. 138 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: So do not be worried if you don't have a 139 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: friend to come with if you're flying solo, because the 140 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: majority of women I assume at the next one as well, 141 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: also be flying solo and you will meet so many 142 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: people you'll leave with newfound friendships.

I use some 175 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: protein powder that we produce, but in general I am 176 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: pretty much food first and don't take Actually that's a lie. 177 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: I do take a supplement. I take flaxseed oil because 178 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: I've got very dry eyes as I get a bit older, 179 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: and I do find that it helps my I lubrication 180 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: for whatever a better word. 181 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: But thought you said librecation on the podcast. 182 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: But in general, I don't know. I'm just not really 183 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: a pill pop up. I've got an MDHFR mutation too. 184 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: I do take a method to follow it when I remember, 185 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: but I really don't. 186 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. 187 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: It's just not me to really take things for a while. 188 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: I might go through span. I might take a few 189 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: fish oil. When I was pregnant, I did take fish oil, 190 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: not much else. Like, I'm probably not great in terms 191 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: of sometimes you do need things, But recently I've had 192 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: a couple of clients that when I went through their 193 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: supplement least I needed an extra page in my notebook. 194 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: And when I looked at one of the supplements online, 195 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: I've never seen help me with more ingredients in it. 196 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: I had to scroll for like three scrolls to get 197 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: to the bottom, and it just led you and I 198 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: to have a bit of a chat about what I 199 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: call over supplementation, because supplementation is a massive industry. It 200 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: makes a lot of money for a lot of people, 201 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: and certainly there's massive profit margins on basic vitamins and minerals, 202 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: things like vitamin B, vitamin C. You know you can 203 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: throw it in a bottle, charge twenty times the price 204 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: and no damage because it's not stored in the body. Now, ultimately, 205 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: as dieticians, we want to make sure that if people 206 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: are taking supplements that it's for a reason and they're 207 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: not wasting their money, because I can't tell you in 208 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: my career and how many times I've heard people real 209 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: off supplements they've been recommended, and it might be hundreds 210 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: of dollars worth of different supplements which are really things 211 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: they often don't even need. So I think it gives 212 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: us a false positive that you're taking all these things 213 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: that's going to make you younger, fitter, leaner, smarter, which, 214 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: let's be honest, the evidence just is not there now 215 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: the best supplements or the ones we recommend it when 216 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: people have a deficiency. So if I'm looking at blood 217 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: tests and I see someone's vitamin D deficient or has 218 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: low iron levels, certainly at times I will recommend supplement. Now, 219 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: I always want to go for basically a clean supplement, 220 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: something that's giving exactly what that person needs, rather than 221 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: a whole range of mixed things because they do stacks. 222 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: So for example, if you're taking a protein powder that 223 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 1: has a whole range of micronutrients in it plus a 224 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: multi vitamin plus another vitamin that's got all those same things, 225 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: quite possibly getting too much, and in the case of 226 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: vitamins and minerals, more is not better. There's what the 227 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: body needs and then there's extra which will either be 228 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: processed out via the kidneys in the liver or peed 229 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: out in the case of water soluble vitamins. So I 230 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: thought it was just worthy of a discussion if you're 231 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: someone who has twenty different pill containers, because I'll go 232 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: through with my clients and I'll say to them, look, 233 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: these are the ones that are I would say safe 234 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: or okay, or adding something to your diet, but these 235 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: are the ones doing absolutely nothing or I'm safe to 236 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: say you don't need them. And I don't want clients 237 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: to waste money, particularly when they're really really expensive, because 238 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: I just think that they're just not doing anything, even 239 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: though psychologically you may think so. So I think we 240 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: just wanted to have a general discussion about oversupplementing and 241 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: when sometimes you're just getting ripped off a little bit. 242 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: Now there's a couple of different options that I may 243 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: use at times. So if I've got a client who's 244 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: got high cholesterol and it's not overly high, they're not 245 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: on standard medication, they're eating well, I might try there's 246 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: now plant sterile capsules. Certainly there's a reason for that. 247 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: If someone has got liver in flame liver, I might 248 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: recommend milk thistle. That's a sort of herbal remedy for 249 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: in flame liver. So they're sort of hit ones here 250 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: and there. I might suggest to someone they try. Certainly, 251 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: if you've got dry eyes, flax and oil is really cood. 252 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: But I think for anyone who's got twenty bottles in 253 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: the cabinet, and you've been recommended to take a whole 254 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: range of very expensive supplements. I think it's really worth 255 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: having a look and seeing if you're actually getting any 256 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: benefit from that, or if you're just flushing a whole 257 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: lot of expensive vitamins and minerals down the toilet each day. 258 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Sue, I agree, because the reality is that we 259 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 2: want the magic pill or potion, right. We want something 260 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 2: that's going to give us more energy, that's going to 261 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: boost own metabolism, it's going to burn body fat or 262 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: for a lot of my clients when they start seeing me, 263 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: I say, well, what's this one, what's this one, what's 264 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 2: this one? And a lot of the time they just 265 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 2: say that just in case, just in case, I take 266 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 2: a multivitam in just in case, I take a greens powder, 267 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: just to get a bit more greens in. I take 268 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 2: an iron supplement because I was low a few years ago, 269 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: so I'm scared to go low again. And I take 270 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 2: a pre workout supplement because you know, my favorite influencer 271 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: online takes one. And often there's not much solid research 272 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 2: in size behind a lot of the things that my 273 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: clients are taking, So I will hand on my heart 274 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 2: say that I probably stop seventy to eighty percent of 275 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 2: the supplements why clients are taking when they see me, 276 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 2: because the reality is their diets aren't right, and that's 277 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 2: why they've come to see me in the first place. 278 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 2: They're struggling to drop body fat. The gut health is 279 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: all over the place, the hormones aren't stabilized. And I say, well, 280 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: if you're taking all these things to make yourself feel 281 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 2: better and it's still not feeling better, what's the point. 282 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: So let's stop all of them. Let's get the diet 283 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 2: right in the right portions for your body and the 284 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: right mac who you need to inspread, get everything lifestyle 285 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 2: related fixed, get your sleeping better, get you training more efficiently, 286 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 2: and then let's see if we can actually utilize some 287 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: supplements to give us a further edge or a boost, 288 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 2: because we really should be thinking about supplements as like 289 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 2: the icing on the cake or as the sprinkles on 290 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 2: the cake, even because the analogy I like to use 291 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 2: is that if the cake tastes like crap, right, if 292 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: you've mixed up the sugar in the salt, nobody's going 293 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 2: to eat it. It doesn't matter what sprinkles you put 294 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 2: on top of it, And that's like supplements. If the 295 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: diet the foundations aren't right, it doesn't matter what supplements 296 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 2: you're putting it because you're not really going to get 297 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 2: the edge that it's supposed to give you. So there 298 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: are a handful that I take. And again I didn't 299 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 2: do it through pregnancy. I didn't do it through breastfeed. 300 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 2: It's only really to give myself that little bit of 301 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: an edge this year where I've always used protein powder 302 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 2: on and off, not daily, but where my breakfast might 303 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: need a little boost of a protein powder, particularly if 304 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,719 Speaker 2: I'm having something like a smoothie. I've recently, in the 305 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 2: last couple of months, started on creating and Susan and 306 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 2: I am very excited to bring you something new to 307 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 2: the market in a couple of weeks time. But I've 308 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: seen some wonderful results from Creatine myself. I've got a 309 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: lot of my clients from a sports and performance based 310 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 2: perspective taking a bit of creatine as well. But again, 311 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: the diets right, they're quite lean, they've dropped the body 312 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: fat and now we're really looking for that performance based benefit, 313 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 2: so creatine is good. And then through my pregnancy, I 314 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: took iron and fole it as well, which I'm not 315 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 2: taking anymore. So like you, I take very very minermal, 316 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 2: but if it's going to give me a slight edge, 317 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 2: I'm definitely going to dabble in it and put it that way. 318 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: But again it's for somebody who is got the foundations 319 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: right of the diet. First. We definitely shouldn't be taking 320 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 2: things just in case. But if a blood test is 321 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 2: found that we clinically deficient in something, are iron, I 322 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: think it's really really important to supplement, or if we 323 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 2: know we just don't eat enough. So I've got a 324 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 2: lot of clients Susia that are going through those menopause 325 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: or postmenopause or years where the calcium requirements are massive. 326 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: They're like thirteen hundred milligrams a day, and with some 327 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: really smart picks in the supermarket, you can absolutely get 328 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: that in through diet, absolutely, but a lot of my clients, 329 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: some of them don't eat dairy at all, so it 330 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: is really difficult to get thirteen hundred milligrams of calcium in. 331 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: So some of them do take a calcium supplement. Those 332 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 2: things are like coarse pills, so they're not you know, 333 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 2: they're not fun to take, but if they need it, 334 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: they need it. And I've got a handful of other 335 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: clients who might take, you know, vitamin D tablets, particularly 336 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 2: if they live overseas, they live in a really cold 337 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: place where they don't see a lot of sun I 338 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 2: eat like London, and they have an office based job, 339 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 2: they don't really get out much. They do take vitamin 340 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: D supplements because they are quite low in vitamin D 341 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: through you know, large months of the year. So it's 342 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: things that we would recommend with the evidence based behind them, 343 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 2: or a blood test shows that they're clinically deficient, or 344 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: from a I guess like a sports nutrition an ergodomic 345 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: aid perspective. We know that there is research and science 346 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 2: to give us that little bit of a boost. But 347 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: the large majority of things that clients will take you 348 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 2: and I will both basically just stop, particularly if they've 349 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 2: been suggested from like an integrative health practitioner, like a 350 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 2: natural health practitioner, because in all honesty, a lot of 351 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: those practitioners get kickbacks from all the supplements they prescribed. 352 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 2: They actually own commission on it, which is really bad 353 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 2: as well in its own and a lot of clients 354 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: don't realize that and that the rest of it is 355 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 2: that they don't really have an evidence based behind them. 356 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: So I've seen so many clients that are taking like six, seven, 357 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 2: eight different supplements. There are hundreds, if not one thousand 358 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 2: dollars a month, and they're still coming to me because 359 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: they still feel like crap at the end of the day. 360 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 2: So a lot of the things that you're taking actually 361 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: research a does it have evidence and science behind it 362 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 2: be is it actually helping? Because if you still don't 363 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 2: feel great, probably best to stop it and try something 364 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 2: different and see we always have a do no harm 365 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 2: effect first, So does it actually potentially contribute? Is there 366 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: a label reading on the bottle that says, you know, 367 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: not appropriate for whatever reason, or don't take for a 368 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 2: prolonged peer period of time. Even things a lot of 369 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 2: people think, oh, it's just a herbal supplement, it's safe. Honestly, 370 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: some of the herbal supplements can be the most dangerous 371 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 2: on the market because they interact with different mechanisms in 372 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 2: the body and interact with other types of medication as well. 373 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: So you really need to just be careful, particularly with 374 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: things like herbal supplements, because they can have large interactions 375 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 2: in the body. 376 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the key thing is just to really 377 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: check what you're taking and make sure that there's a 378 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: key reason for having it. But the other thing I 379 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: see all the time leanne is women who have got 380 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: low vitamin D or vitamin D deficient and they're taking 381 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: vitamin D but they're not taking it with meals. It's 382 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: a fat soluable vitamin to be absorbed well, it needs 383 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: fat around it, and hence their vitamin D never goes up. 384 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: So if you're taking supplements and they're not working, it's 385 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: also worth checking why you're taking it in the right way, 386 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: in the right dose, because there's literally no point in 387 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: taking it. So I've seen that a few times again recently, 388 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: so yes, it's certainly by beware, and I'm often you 389 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: can save plenty of cash and just eat a bit 390 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: more fresh fruit and veggies and you'll get a lot 391 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: of the stuff that you're supplementing up all right. 392 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 2: Well, onto our x twich is party season kind of 393 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 2: fitting seeing that we are November, and you know, for 394 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 2: some of us, Christmas goes over two months, doesn't it. 395 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 2: It's not just a day, it's it's it's three months. 396 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: I think it goes from Melbourne Cup to Australia. 397 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're regardless of how long it goes. It's definitely 398 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: started for a lot of us, and it's just it's 399 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 2: all the friends stuff on the weekend, it's all the 400 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: work stuff. It's you know, like there's just so many things. 401 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 2: There's our calendar leading up into November and December. There's 402 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 2: nearly something on every single weekend. So we have to 403 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 2: be really smart with party season and a lot of 404 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 2: the times I say for my clients, like, it's not 405 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 2: really great to be aiming for fat loss in December, 406 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: but let's just try for maintenance, because the last thing 407 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 2: we want is to gain two or three kilos in 408 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 2: December and start off in the back foot in January. 409 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 2: So we really need to be smart with the choices. 410 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 2: And probably my absolute number one tip over all is 411 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 2: to plan ahead, because if you're not planning ahead, you're 412 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: going to get caught out. You're going to eat something 413 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 2: that you know isn't the best choice nutritionally. You're going 414 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 2: to end up starving somewhere and the floodgates will open 415 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 2: and you'll end up over snacking or overeating and you'll 416 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 2: just feel pretty crappy at the end of the day. 417 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 2: So the number one tip is absolutely to plan ahead. 418 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: And the number two tip is if you are going 419 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 2: to like a house or a backyard party or the park, 420 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 2: take something with you that you want to eat and 421 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 2: that's in line with your goals. Don't assume that at 422 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 2: the backyard barbecue, for you know, aren't flow that there's 423 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 2: going to be a great option there, because often what 424 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 2: happens is I'll say their clients, all right, is there 425 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 2: going to be you know, similine protein And they're like, yeah, yeah, 426 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 2: it's a barbecue, it'll be fine. Then they get there 427 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 2: and a sausages and at slam chops and everything's you know, 428 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 2: quite high fat and not really appropriate for you know, 429 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 2: a person to look at leaning down their diet a 430 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 2: little bit. And I say, are they going to be 431 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 2: some salads there? They're like, yeah, yeah, the person said 432 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 2: they're salads. Then they get there and it's a potato salad, 433 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 2: salad and a potato salad. Not really this sar that 434 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 2: we had in line. So really, take something with you 435 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 2: so it's like a non negotiable that you know there's 436 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 2: going to be something great there to fuel your body. 437 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: You don't have to take your entire meal prep meal 438 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 2: with you. You can be flexible. You can eat there, 439 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: but take a garden salad with you, take some beauty 440 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 2: for roast veggies with you. Take some nice, grainy, dense 441 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: bread so you're not stuck eating the you know, the 442 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 2: garlic bread if that's not what you want to do. 443 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 2: So really, just take charge this party season and don't 444 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 2: be a victim to the party season, which is what 445 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 2: we hear time and time again, isn't it, Suziela, Oh 446 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 2: everyone else is eating it, I'm too tired, Or they 447 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 2: said it was going to be available but it wasn't 448 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 2: a lot of the time, you can, you know, play 449 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 2: the victim to this time of year. But I really 450 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 2: think it's important to plan ahead and really take charge 451 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 2: of these situations. If you're going out for lunch with 452 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 2: some girlfriends, actually find a place in book, a place 453 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: that meets your requirements, that meets your goals. Don't go on, 454 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 2: don't mind, I don't mind. Everyone says, I don't mind 455 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 2: where we go, and then you end up eating fish 456 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: and chips for lunch and you're annoyed it yourself because 457 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 2: you know there wasn't even any salad left at the 458 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 2: fish and chip shop or you had was fish and chips. 459 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 2: So actually take charge of the situation and book somewhere 460 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 2: for you know, your gathering all your catch up, so 461 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 2: that you know that there's going to be some great 462 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 2: choices available as well. Don't just leave it up to 463 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 2: everybody else because chances are they won't be what you 464 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: need there and you'll be annoyed with yourself later on. 465 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, so true. I think I can't tell you how 466 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: many times that happens, where people will go and say 467 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: it will be okay, and then inevitably they end up 468 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: eating twelve sausages, bread white bread rolls, you know, like 469 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: you know in general, it's not going to be great generally. 470 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: In saying that, I did just see that Coals are 471 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: now stocking chicken peppercorn lean sausages, which is new because 472 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: they got deleted from all these several years ago, and 473 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: the Leaners sausages on the market now they are processed 474 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: meat in the sense they contain nitrates, but in terms 475 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: of fat content they're one of the best. So if 476 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: you are looking for a Leaners sausage, that's one of 477 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: the best ones. But I guess to add to your 478 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: point about planning ahead, I always There's two points I 479 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: want to make. The first is that this is not 480 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: a time to use outings in business as an excuse 481 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: not to exercise. I can't tell you how many times 482 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: people will happy to go to two or three social 483 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: events on a weekend, but they can't find twenty minutes 484 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: to go for a walk. This is not the time 485 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: to do less, it's the time to do more. The 486 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: days are longer in states that have daylight saving or 487 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: even in the case of Queensland, it's like light at 488 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: five am. You know, everyone can fit in twenty to 489 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: thirty minute walk, So it's not a time to use 490 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: as an excuse to not move. And when I see 491 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: clients who are I was too busy, It was too 492 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: busy at work. It's just an excuse because you can 493 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: pull out twenty minutes like You've got to start questioning 494 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: yourself if you can't find twenty minutes to move your body, 495 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: no matter how busy you are, it's a question of priorities. 496 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: But the other one I wanted to say is that 497 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: where all is, humans very happy to go and over indulge, 498 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: So we're very happy to have the extra wines or 499 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: the dessert or the indulgent meal. What we're far less 500 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: happy to do is compensate with fewer calories. So a 501 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: really powerful strategy that works well over the entire course 502 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: of your life is that when you've had a period 503 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: of over indulgence. So just say you've had one of 504 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: those weekends where it kind of it's gone off rails, 505 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: You've had several social events, you haven't fit your training in, 506 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: you've overeaten for one of a better word, it's okay 507 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: to have a light day on Monday and just stick 508 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: to a salad, maybe just have a coffee, maybe fast 509 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: until lunchtime, have a couple of meals that are just 510 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: vegi rich. So I find there's a sort of happiness 511 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: to overdo it, but far less happiness to underdo it, 512 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: and we just go straight back to eating regular meals 513 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: hungry or not. So I think if there's one other 514 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: key strategy that you can use powerfully this festive season, 515 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: it's buffer over indulgence. If you've had a more debaucherous 516 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: afternoon out, skip dinner, I will have a salad. Or 517 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: if you've had a whole weekend of heavier eating, have 518 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: a couple of light days of eating. I'm not saying 519 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 1: skip meals. I'm saying go for the white seafood, the 520 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: shell fish, the salad, the vegetables. You know, if you're 521 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: not overly hungry, it's okay to skip breakfast occasionally when 522 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: you have overeaten. So the art of compensation will go 523 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: a long way in allowing you to indulge to a 524 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: certain degree, but then get back on track and back 525 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: in touch with your hunger a day or two later, 526 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: rather than just riding back into a normal eating plan 527 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: even though you've eaten several hundred extra calories over the weekend. 528 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 2: And I think it's really important to be smart with 529 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 2: the social things that you do have if the timing 530 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: is something that you do have within your control, rather 531 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 2: than you know, I've often had clients yourself got for 532 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 2: breakfast and dinner. Today, I've got to go out for 533 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: lunch and dinner. Could one of those things? Coffee, ketchup 534 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 2: and a walk with a friend? Could one of them? 535 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 2: Instead of going out to dinner? Could you host people 536 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 2: at your house and just you know, get everybody to 537 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 2: bring a plate, or could you order you know, some 538 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 2: healthy sort of takeout in instead because you get data. 539 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,239 Speaker 2: And I'm looking at Nando's the other day, Susie. They 540 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 2: actually have some pretty good options on the menu, and 541 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 2: it was quite reasonably priced, Like you got I think 542 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 2: like half a chicken, a couple of sides, and a 543 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 2: drink or something, and the sides could be like broccoli 544 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 2: and corn like. It was actually quite good for I 545 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 2: think like thirty three dollars or something like. It was 546 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 2: quite affordable. So you can actually look at just bringing 547 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 2: some food in if you don't want to cook for everybody, 548 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: and getting it kind of catered in a healthy way 549 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 2: as well. We don't always have to go out to 550 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 2: the restaurants and the cafes because a they're incredibly expensive 551 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 2: and b often the choices aren't great nutritionally. You know, 552 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 2: a lot of things are quite heavy, they're deep fried, 553 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 2: the proteins aren't as lean like you often will see 554 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 2: pork belly and lamb chops and all that sort of 555 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 2: thing on the menu and it's just not that lean. 556 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 2: So don't underestimate the power of actually going to somebody's 557 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 2: house and everybody bringing a plate or getting a little 558 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 2: bit of healthy catering in. And some of my favorite 559 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 2: things are like Vietnamese, like someone like roll the Rice 560 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 2: paper rolls, a Vietnamese salad bowls I do love. Like 561 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 2: I said, Nando's Grill do some good options as well, 562 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 2: and even something like Mexican like GUYG. If you're into it, 563 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 2: you can get some of those like naked burrito bowls 564 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 2: with a bit of rice and beans and chicken and 565 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 2: bumper that up with a bit of like lettuce and tomato. 566 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 2: So there are quite a few good options out there. 567 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 2: And if you've got multiple things each day, that's where 568 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 2: it does become really hard to stay on track. And 569 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 2: that's where people do get into it, kind of get 570 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 2: sucked into that overindulgence where it's a big, heavy breakfast. 571 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 2: Then they might have a lunch out, then they've got 572 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 2: a dinner, and of course there's dessert, there's multiple wines, 573 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 2: and before we now we've done, you know, three thousand 574 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: calories in the day, and then we wake up and 575 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 2: we feel heavy and so dodgy and just not so 576 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 2: great the next day. So don't forget if you want 577 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 2: to socialize, you want to catch up with people, it 578 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,719 Speaker 2: doesn't always have to be around eating out. You can 579 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: catch up. You can go for a walk with somebody, 580 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 2: you can take the kids to the park, you can 581 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 2: host a little afternoon tea at your house. It doesn't 582 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 2: always have to be a solid main wheel, because I 583 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 2: feel like when people overindulged, it happens to be that 584 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 2: they've just had too many things that weekend and everything 585 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: was set around food versus it should really be centered 586 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 2: around catching up and socializing with the person, not so 587 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 2: much the food. We can do boss, absolutely, but I 588 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 2: think we just tend to go too hard, particularly when 589 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 2: we've had multiple social things in the one day. 590 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: True true, true, true. All right, Leanne, we're moving on 591 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: to all things indulged in eating. You found a new pasta, 592 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: a high protein pastor in Wlies. Now I couldn't actually 593 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: find it on the Woolies website, but you were very 594 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: smart and snap the nutritional panel. So that brand looks 595 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: like an important brand, but it has been in Willies 596 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: for a while. But this is a brand new high 597 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: protein option. 598 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I don't go to my local Woolies that much. 599 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 2: I must say. It's not good like I prefer my coals. 600 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 2: The local Woolies is a bit, you know, bit dollars. 601 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 2: It's not very nice and my coals about twenty minutes 602 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 2: away though, but it's just been redone and it's so nice, 603 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 2: and I thought, you know, I'll go on too, Woolies. 604 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 2: I'll just see what they've gotten. I found a couple 605 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 2: of new products in Woolies, which I was quite happy with. 606 00:25:53,200 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 2: But this brand is called La Mollusca molisa Jesus my 607 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 2: strong point as a patio. Not really nice brand. I 608 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 2: think it is Italian, isn't it, and use sloopy It's 609 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 2: an and it uses slooping flakes, which I love because 610 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 2: not a lot of products use lupin and it's quite 611 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 2: high in protein and low in carb for a grain, 612 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 2: so we quite like lupin. And they had a whole range. 613 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 2: They had the high protein pasta. There was a high 614 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 2: protein spaghetti, and I know a lot of my clients 615 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 2: will use either for a high protein pasta, they normally 616 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 2: will use San Remo or the better range, but there's 617 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 2: no spaghetti in that range. There's only the high five 618 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 2: to one. There's no protein one if you want spaghetti 619 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 2: type pasta. So this is the first brand that I've 620 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 2: seen that does a higher protein spaghetti type pasta, which 621 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 2: I thought was good. So in Woolies when I saw 622 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 2: it, it was thirty percent off, so it was two dollars 623 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 2: eighty so I didn't think that was too bad. But 624 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 2: it generally retails for four dollars, which for pasta, when 625 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 2: you compare it to like the home VAM variety, is 626 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 2: a bit more expensive four dollars. But I would definitely 627 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 2: be looking at for it when it is on sour 628 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 2: thirty forty percent off because obviously it's got a really 629 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 2: good shelf life. You can keep it in your pantry 630 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: for almost forever and it's pretty good. Now I picked 631 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: up the Fusally four hundred grand pack and the two 632 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 2: ingredients are duram wheat semolina at seventy seven percent and 633 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 2: loop and flour at twenty three percent. That's two ingredients 634 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 2: which is great obviously it can obviously, but it contains 635 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: gluten wheat and loopen as well. Now lupin has been 636 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 2: listed as greet me if I'm wrong, Susie. It's it 637 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 2: is an allergen, isn't it? Because it is, it does 638 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 2: have like a protein complex in there, and there are 639 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 2: I have heard of cases where people do have loop 640 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 2: and allergies and lupin does need to be declared on 641 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 2: food labels because of that bad reaction that some people 642 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 2: do have. So just yeah, be careful with that. And 643 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 2: there's a maybe present statement on there that it contains 644 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 2: may contain soy now nutrition information. It's a four hundred 645 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 2: gram box and they're saying a serving size is eighty grams, 646 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 2: which is pretty big if I'm being honest, like I 647 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 2: wouldn't normally give my clients eighty grams of pasta in 648 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 2: a serve, but you know, each person's different. So they're 649 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 2: saying there's five servings per pack and the average per 650 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 2: eighty gram serving size is just over one thy two 651 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 2: hundred kilodeles. That three hundred is a serve with seventeen 652 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 2: point four grams of protein, so really high in protein. 653 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 2: I think the serving size is probably larger to get 654 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 2: the protein up there. Like this would be a great 655 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 2: one if you're you know, vegetarian or vegan, where you 656 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 2: just might want to add some sauce and a bit 657 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 2: of fats and you know a handful of chickpeas and 658 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 2: basically and some veggie in there, and that could be 659 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 2: a really nice high protein meal. You're getting that up 660 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 2: over that twenty grams of protein which we want. 661 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: What about whyn't you put chickpeas in there? I'm saying 662 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: for vegetarian vegetarian. Yeah, okay, yeah, fair enough, Okay, sorry, 663 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: you know I get funny aboutchi. Yeah, imagine a load 664 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: of fibar and protein cheeses. 665 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 2: Very nicely protein. Also, if you're not vegetarian, used some 666 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 2: milouse's suggested there any other type of glean protein that 667 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 2: you want. But I would argue that somebody who wasn't 668 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 2: really bigger or vegetarian probably didn't need a high protein 669 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 2: past if you're going to put chicken in there, if 670 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: you're going to put tuna in there, I would just 671 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 2: use normal pasta. I wouldn't be paying the price for it. 672 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 2: I really think this sits in that the area where 673 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,239 Speaker 2: you have a lower protein diet because you don't need 674 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 2: animal protein, you don't have dairy perhaps, and you do 675 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 2: need that boost in terms of protein. I don't normally 676 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 2: use high fiber passes for my clients if I'm putting 677 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: metal chicken or tuna in their meal. 678 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: But if you wanted a plane pasta, like if you 679 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: wanted just to do like tomato based just you know, 680 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: some people just want a plain pasta with some cheese 681 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: as opposed to putting the protein in there. You could 682 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: use it the peese in there as well, like a 683 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: screen pillar fetter or something like a simple kind of 684 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: meal with veggies. Like you could do a nice prema 685 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: via using that. But you haven't tasted it yet. You've 686 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: got to taste it and see what it's like. 687 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got it. I should have done that first. 688 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 2: I'll get it to the kids, see what they think. 689 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: And then fat wise is three point four grams per serving, 690 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 2: zero grams have saturated fat calves is forty four grams 691 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 2: are served, which I actually think is quite good for 692 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 2: a half size. Yeah, that's really good after the carb 693 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 2: of normal pasta yeh, which is quite low carb yet 694 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 2: relatively high in protein and fiber as well. So dietary 695 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: five you've got seven point four grams per serving and 696 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 2: sodium obviously incredibly low. It's just naturally occurring as thirty 697 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 2: two milligrams. So I really really like this from a 698 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 2: nutritional perspective. I really like this, And like I said, 699 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 2: it is that higher price point, so I would be 700 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,959 Speaker 2: using it, you know, targeting the client who needed it, 701 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 2: not just as a random recommendation for everybody. But like 702 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 2: you said, if you wanted just more of a vegetarian 703 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 2: based past you just wanted to do a bit of 704 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: sauce and veggies. I would say that most of us 705 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 2: would ideally want to be getting twenty grams or more protein, 706 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 2: so utilizing something like a bit of cheese or a 707 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 2: bit of cottage cheese, a bit of halluominium there could 708 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 2: boost up that protein even further. But if you are 709 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 2: vegan or you don't have dairy, you just need to 710 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 2: be a little bit smart with maybe adding a little 711 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 2: bit of tin, lentils or something in there to boost 712 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 2: you up that little bit. 713 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: I've got a client I think it'll be perfect for 714 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: because she loves pasta and she's vegetarian, and she's pretty 715 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: good at keeping the portions controlled, like having a much 716 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: smaller portion of pasta and loads of veggies. But that 717 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: would really suit her diet. And I'm a bit like you, 718 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't recommend it for my average client if 719 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: they're going to do a chicken pasta bake or a 720 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: salmon pasta like I've been doing that one. Actually, Oh 721 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: my godly, and it's so good. You just do zucchini, tomatoes, 722 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,719 Speaker 1: spinach in a pan with a salmon filet and some 723 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: creep cheese and then I throw in like a handful 724 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: of pasta through it. It is so delicious and simple. 725 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: But I digress. But you know a client who loves 726 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: pasta is more vegetarian. Yeah, I would absolutely use it 727 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: for that client, But you're right, I wouldn't necessarily use 728 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: it for my normal client. I'd probably go the higher 729 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: fiber pastor if they're having less. But I think it's 730 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: just a functional product, and I'll be interested to see 731 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: how it tastes. But I reckon just with twenty percent 732 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: loop and it's probably all right. 733 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty three percent. Yeah, it's actual pretty good. So 734 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 2: I'll give it a whirl and I'll pop it up 735 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 2: on my Instagram and let everybody know what it tastes. 736 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 2: So good, fine, yeah only will wors. I didn't see 737 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,719 Speaker 2: it calls yet. And there's a whole other range of 738 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: just you know, normal standard passes as well. These ones 739 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 2: are in a bright yellow box, you can't really miss them. 740 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 2: They're on the top shelf at Wolves, and that's the 741 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 2: extra high protein, the high protein range. I thought it 742 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 2: was quite interesting. 743 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: All right well to finish our podcast off today. This 744 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: is a question that's come through on our Instagram, which 745 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: is where we get most of our listener questions from. 746 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: So if things are on your mind, do you send 747 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: them through? I do scroll through there frequently, just before 748 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: we hop on and record and grab something off there. 749 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: And this what's a question relating to If you're a 750 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: keen podcast listener or social media user, you may be familiar. 751 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: There's a sort of some US content that comes out 752 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: really heavily promoting fasting diets for women and it's kind 753 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: of got a real you know, following in terms of 754 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: health at the moment, and they sort of do the 755 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: reunds of all the big podcasters around the world. And 756 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: I had the question come to say that when she 757 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: had bought a book on fasting and she looked at 758 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: the references, they actually didn't seem overly strong and is 759 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: fasting really that good? And I thought, we haven't spoken 760 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: about fasting for a while, and I think there's a 761 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: few different ways to look at the intimate and fasting, 762 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: so and we have spoken about it before, but I 763 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: just thought it had been a while. So in general, 764 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: fasting regimes that promote people delay the first meal of 765 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: the day to shorten the eating window. I have fundamental 766 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: issues with for women for two reasons. First of all, 767 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: I find that busy women who are up early, looking 768 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: after kids, working, doing a million things need their fuel, 769 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: So I don't need them to be underreaching through the 770 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: day when they're busy and then overeating all afternoon and 771 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: evening when the body registers that it hasn't had any 772 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: fuel through the morning, and that's why you start to 773 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: not feel hungry. And the second reason I don't like 774 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: it is that I think that it doesn't work in 775 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: with circadian rhythm, and delaying the first meal of the 776 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: day makes no sense if it means people are going 777 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: to be eating a higher proportion of calories than the 778 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: second half of the day. Now, that is very different 779 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: to utilizing the benefits that come from occasional fasting. And 780 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: as this goes back to what I was saying about 781 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: party eating, there is nothing wrong with having a low 782 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: calorie day every so often to buffer when you've overeaten. 783 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: So I actually think as a strategy having once a 784 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: week where you do have a longer fast, which may 785 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: be fourteen sixteen hours without food, or the equivalent of 786 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: a light food day, which I don't want people to 787 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: cap calories, but it may be sort of eight hundred 788 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: one thousand calories occasionally because it's buffering the effects of 789 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: eating a lot more. That is how I use fasting 790 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: with clients to benefit metabolism, to give them a break 791 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: from basically eating, to let their glucose levels return to normal, 792 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: to let them feel hunger. So I use fasting as 793 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: a strategy within a regime. I do not ever rely 794 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: on it as a model to delay the first meal 795 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: of the day. So I think any blanket statement that 796 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: says that everyone should do it is so fundamentally flawed, 797 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: because every single person is different and has different metabolic needs. 798 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: And I can't tell you how many women whose diets 799 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 1: I'm rehabbing and they're trying to lose weight five ten 800 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,320 Speaker 1: twenty kilos, they're exercising, they're so frustrated the weight's not budging, 801 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: and inevitably that only till ten twelve each day. And 802 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: the first thing I have to do is get metabolism 803 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: moving and feed them early and get them hungry, and 804 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: I guarantee you laut it works every time. Clients who 805 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 1: can't lose weight stuck after a week or two of 806 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: eating earlier a couple of hours after waking, or losing 807 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 1: weight because they're stoking the fire of metabolism, and that's 808 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,359 Speaker 1: natural circadian rhythm. Now, there always be anomalies who some 809 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: people who say this has changed their life, that not 810 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: eating till twelve has allowed them to lose weight, But 811 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: they're not the people that I work with or see, 812 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: and I have fundamental issues with women starving themselves through 813 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 1: the first half of the day when the energy demands 814 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: are particularly high. 815 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't love fasting. It though it's very rare 816 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 2: that I would ever use it for a client, and 817 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 2: I wouldn't really suggest it like you. Occasionally might use 818 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 2: it to buffer some weekend calories where I know they're 819 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 2: having a large lunch out and a large dinner. I 820 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 2: might say, hey, let's just have a coffee or a 821 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 2: yoprof for breakfast, or you know, not have too much 822 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 2: and because you're going out for two large meals of 823 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 2: the day. But it's a random one off if a 824 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 2: client's happy to do that, I'd never really suggest that, 825 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 2: and most of the ones I have that come to 826 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 2: me that are fasting, I stop that like you, because 827 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 2: a lot of my ladies are working women and they're 828 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 2: exercising early. And when we look at it, I'm like, 829 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 2: what's the purpose of exercising. You've come to me, we're 830 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 2: going to teach you how to burn body fat through nutrition. 831 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 2: I don't need you to exercise to burn the calories off. 832 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 2: So what's the purpose of exercise? And I explain, we 833 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 2: like it because it's good for your metabolism, your bones, 834 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 2: your muscles, your heart, helps sleep better, helps regular anxiety, 835 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 2: all the good benefits of exercise. We get them out 836 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 2: of that I need to exercise to burn calorie mindset, 837 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 2: so they know that they're exercising because of all these 838 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 2: other good benefits. And I say, well, what's the goal 839 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 2: with exercise? And they say, well, I'd like to get fitter. 840 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 2: You know, I'm a runner. I want to run my fastest, 841 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 2: you know, five to ten KPB. I want to squat 842 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 2: more in the gym. I want to get a bit fitter. 843 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 2: I want to make it a bit leaner. Tona, you 844 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 2: can't do that. You can't have a performance based exercise 845 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,439 Speaker 2: goal and delay your meals all morning or all day long, 846 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 2: because it's not going to work like that the body 847 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 2: has optimal nutrition timing, where when we exercise we need 848 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 2: to get in some proper fuel to repair and regenerate 849 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 2: the muscles and the body after you work out. So 850 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 2: if you're working out at six am and it's a 851 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 2: hard workout, you're doing some strength training, you're doing some 852 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 2: hit training, you're throwing some heavy weight around the gym, 853 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 2: you can't wait till twelve o'clock to eat. You can't 854 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 2: wait till one o'clock to eat. So for most women, 855 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 2: I actually think fasting is not a great thing. Now, 856 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 2: there is a small amount of research, and honestly, most 857 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 2: of it is in animal based studies anyway. The research 858 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,760 Speaker 2: is kind of sketchy, but there are some small studies, 859 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 2: particularly are an older people, that fasting may benefit from 860 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 2: a cognitive perspective, and also some smaller research studies that 861 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 2: it may benefit from a gut health perspective as well. 862 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 2: But honestly, most people I think you find the gut 863 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 2: health benefits are probably just overeating and overdoing it anyway, 864 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't I think for the small benefits 865 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 2: and the small amount of research that we have, there's 866 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 2: larger benefits from actually fueling well. Throughout the day, particularly 867 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,800 Speaker 2: when the goal is health or hormones stabilization or fat loss. 868 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 2: I can't tell you the amount of times I see 869 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 2: women fasting and they've come to me for fat loss 870 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,320 Speaker 2: and hormones and they're having two or three black coffees 871 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 2: throughout the morning. They're exercising, they're not refueling properly, they're 872 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 2: not using any pre workout nutrition. The first meal of 873 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 2: the day is like one o'clock and they're just their 874 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 2: hormones are riding crazy or morning low, and there's no 875 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 2: protein there. There's nothing to fuel or refuel after the workout. 876 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 2: They're just running off black caffeine or mourning long. It's 877 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 2: the opposite of what we want to do to actually 878 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 2: dial in women's hormones. So there are a couple of 879 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 2: key experts in that area that do basically recommend not 880 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 2: fasting for women, particularly if they are training or exercising. 881 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 2: So I haven't really been a huge famine of it. 882 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 2: I know that there are some smaller studies from a 883 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 2: gut health perspective, but I'd just like to give my 884 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 2: client's adequate time overnight with nothing going in, like don't 885 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,439 Speaker 2: snack all night long or eat a really really heavy meal, 886 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 2: and I feel like we're going to get some good 887 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,399 Speaker 2: gut health benefits just from giving the gut some good 888 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 2: time overnight. You know, nine to sort of ten hours 889 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 2: overnight without any food, and most people get some good 890 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 2: gut health benefits that way. True. 891 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: We agree, alien don't always, but today we're agreeing. 892 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 2: All right. 893 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 1: Well, that brings us to the end of the Nutrition 894 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: Couch for another week.
