1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Chances are you know that protein is a supernutrient when 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: it comes to metabolism and weight control, and you make 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: an effort to get enough. But what may come as 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: a surprise is that not all foods are considered equal 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: when it comes to protein. On this week's episode of 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: The Nutrition Couch, we chat all things protein in food 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: and the numbers may surprise you. I am Cuzburrel and 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: Emily and Ward, and together we bring you The Nutrition Couch, 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: the weekly podcast that keeps you up to date on 10 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 1: everything you need to know in the world of nutrition 11 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: as well as protein and food. We take a closer 12 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: look at the difference between eating to satisfy versus eating 13 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: for your nutritional goals. We found a new salad dressing 14 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: to discuss just in time for summer, and our listener 15 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: question is all about alternatives to soft drink so lean. 16 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: Something that frequently crosses my path when chatting to clients 17 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: about certain food choices is I'm always looking to tick 18 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: the brox on protein because when we're learning more about 19 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: protein as a supernutrient, in turn of offering a number 20 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: of key micro nutrients, so protein rich foods like meat, chicken, fish, eggs, 21 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: even protein based sauces like tofu, we're extremely nutrient rich, 22 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,559 Speaker 1: offering a central nutrients like calcium and iron and zinc 23 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: and in much higher quantities. But even more importantly, we 24 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: know that, in particular for women moving through their late thirties, 25 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: forties and fifties, that a higher protein diet means that 26 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: naturally carbohydrate will be slightly reduced. It also helps to 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: optimize metabolism. It takes more calories to burn protein rich meals, 28 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: and it helps to preserve muscle mass as we get older. 29 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: And so I think in the next sort of five 30 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: ten years, as we get more across sort of perimenopause 31 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: and the importance of metabolism or preserving metabolism as we 32 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: get older, the importance of maintaining a diet that's relatively 33 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: or you know, between twenty five and thirty percent protein, 34 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: which for the average female might translate into eighty one hundred, 35 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty grams per day. So when we're 36 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: doing our work with our clients, we're certainly aiming for 37 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: certain protein targets as part of that meal. So for example, 38 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: the average female, we'd be looking at twenty to thirty 39 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: grams of overall protein or maybe ten even up to 40 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 1: twenty four a meal, and that overall will take those 41 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: intakes to about twenty five thirty percent of overall intake. 42 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: Ticking the boxes on those targets. Now, we certainly don't 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: encourage people to be counting those amounts. You know, we're 44 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: doing that as dietitians working with clients. But what I 45 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: thought might be sort of an interesting conversation is I 46 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: regularly have clients send me through certain foods and I'll 47 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: say that's not overly high in protein, or that's a 48 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,119 Speaker 1: fat and they're kind of really shocked. And I thought 49 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: it might be a sort of a good chat then 50 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: to talk about some of those foods. And I'll kick 51 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: it off by saying a few of the ones that 52 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: come to mind all the time. Whilst we know that 53 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: chicken breast is really high in protein, it's one of 54 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: the richest natural sauces. Regular serves got twenty to thirty grams. 55 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: Things like chicken thigh and chicken drumsticks are much much 56 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: lower because they have a lot more fat in that tissue. 57 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: So whilst if you're having chicken breast, you've only got 58 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: about three percent fat. When you're looking at chicken thigh 59 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: and drumsticks. You're getting a much lower proportion of protein 60 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: because you're getting a lot less of that meat, so 61 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,399 Speaker 1: you're getting more fat and less meat. Now, it's still 62 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: a relatively good source, but just keep in mind that 63 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: chicken breast is high in protein thingings that chicken thigh 64 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: drumsticks tend to be much lower. The classic one I 65 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: hear all the time is ham. Now, ham is a 66 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: process meat. It is recommended by the World Health Organization 67 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: that we limit our intake of process meats because of 68 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: the link between the additives used to preserve process meat 69 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: and the increased risk of digestive related cancers. It's really 70 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: hard ham because ham is used frequently on gambwages. It's 71 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: considered a healthy choice, and yet we've got this contradictory 72 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: evidence to say, well, actually it is not good for 73 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: us in general. But for example, if you have one 74 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: hundred grams of tuna or chicken breast or a higher proportion, 75 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: you're going to be getting upwards of twenty plus grams. Now, 76 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: a whole hundred grams of ham is going to give 77 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: you eighteen But very rarely will we eat one hundred 78 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: grams of ham. Nor would we be encouraging people to. 79 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: It's a lot more likely a service thirty to fifty grams, 80 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: and you're getting only about nine grams of protein. So 81 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: even though your sandwich might appear to be high in 82 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: protein with ham and salad, it's sort of half what 83 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: you would get if you use what i'd call real meat, 84 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: really meat like salmon, chicken, breast and that alternative. And 85 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: then the last one I'll bring and give you a 86 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: chance to talk is homics. Now, homas is frequently referred 87 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: to as high in protein. It certainly has a chickpea base, 88 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: but even the higher protein serves of homice, and there's 89 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: a couple out there at most have got five grams 90 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: in general, like sort of cream cheese, you'll get a 91 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: couple of grams of protein from homice. So really nutritionally, 92 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: when I'm talking about it with clients, I refer to 93 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: it as an added fat. It's a good fat, particularly 94 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: if you're getting one that's got a high proportion of chickpeas, 95 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: but it's not adding protein as such to the diet. 96 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: It's more fat that you're getting from that food. 97 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, very true, And I think that where the issue 98 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 2: lies is particularly when people are aiming for fat loss. 99 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 2: So say, if your goal is just to maintain your weight, 100 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 2: or you're following more of a vegan or a plant 101 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 2: based diet, you don't need to have an overly higher 102 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: protein diet. For most people, about point eight grams per 103 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: kilo grammar body weight is probably enough. So for a 104 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,679 Speaker 2: small female you know around that fifty to sixty grams 105 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: of protein today is probably enough. But where protein becomes 106 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: really important is in a deficit and when the goal 107 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: is weight loss, because particularly it helps with satartis, so 108 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: it helps to keep you full of for longer. Protein 109 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: also supports us metabolically, and because our muscles are a 110 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: metabolically active tissue, the more muscle we have, the better 111 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 2: it's going to be around metabolism, the better fat loss 112 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: is going to go long term. And enough protein in 113 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: our meal not only does it support satarti, it also 114 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: helps to really de stabilize our hormones and our cravings 115 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: as well. I always find that when my clients don't 116 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 2: have enough protein in their meals, they tend to over 117 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: eat later, over snack later, have more crazy cravings later 118 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 2: in the day. So you've given some good three one SUSI, 119 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: I'll give my top three that I hear a lot 120 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: from clients, and I often say, well, that's fine, I 121 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 2: don't mind, but don't forget that. Peanut butter is my 122 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: first one. Peanut Butter is more of a fat sauce. 123 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: So it's great that you added some peanut butter maybe 124 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 2: into a smoothie or that sort of thing. But although 125 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: peanut butter does have a small amount of protein, it's 126 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: predominantly a fat sauce. So a lot of foods people 127 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 2: think are protein based foods, they're correct, they do have 128 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 2: protein in them, but protein isn't the predominant macro nutrient 129 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 2: in them. And my next one is quinoa. A lot 130 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: of my vegan or vegetarian clients they had a big 131 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: salad bowl with quinoo and ascid. That's amazing, Like, it's 132 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 2: so good for your health. But because your goal is 133 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,679 Speaker 2: fat loss, quinoa isn't enough protein. So I say, it's great, 134 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 2: it's a carb sauce. Yes, there is some protein in there, 135 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: but it's not giving us that twenty to thirty grams 136 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: of protein ideally we would want from a meal for 137 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 2: most you know, quote unquote average sized female. To assist 138 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: with fat loss. And the last one might surprise a 139 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 2: lot of people, and it's eggs, because eggs, if you're 140 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 2: having a ton of them, are a great protein sauce. 141 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 2: But one egg typically has about six to seven grams 142 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: of protein, depending on the size of the egg. And 143 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: often I'll have clients say, oh, I wasn't that hungry 144 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: for breakfast, so I might have just had an egg 145 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: on toast. So yeah, that's cool, as I one off 146 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: if you're not feeling that hungry, but if you're regularly 147 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: just having an egg on toast. And my mum, Sophie 148 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: Blessera's is a great example of this. She's only a 149 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: very small human and she has lost a little bit 150 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 2: of muscle mass as she's gotten a little bit older, 151 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: and I say to her, and egg on toast is 152 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: not enough protein. So now she'll put a little bit 153 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: of cottage cheese with it. She'll have an egg. She 154 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 2: might have it on the weekend. Maybe she might have 155 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: a slice of bacon. Not that we're encouraging that, but 156 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: I think once a week on the weekend. Sophia is 157 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 2: about the healthiest human that you will find on the planet. 158 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: So if she has a slice of bacon once a week, 159 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: it's absolutely okay. As part of her balance diet, she 160 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: might also add a bit of chickpeas or humus or 161 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 2: something with that. So all together and combined and a 162 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: really dense type of toast such as a burg and soylin, 163 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: then you're getting the protein from egg, a bit of homae, 164 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: a bit of cottage cheese, and a bit of toast together, 165 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: and all of that combined might get you up to 166 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: that twenty grams that you want. But eggs, traditionally most 167 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: people would need three to four to actually achieve their 168 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: protein goals. And if a lot of my clients would 169 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: like two eggs on toast with some veggies, that's great, 170 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: but I'd be looking at the quality of the toast 171 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: that they're putting that within, making sure that those two 172 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: slices of toast has ideally at least you know, five 173 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 2: or six grams within the toast combined with the twelve 174 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: grams from eggs, and then maybe they might put a 175 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 2: sprinkle of cheese on top, or a little bit of 176 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: cottage cheese or something with that, and then total combined, 177 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 2: we're getting that twenty grams. Or some of my clients 178 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: like to have a milky coffee with their breakfast, so 179 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 2: they might have an egg on toast, you know, a 180 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: good quality sort of toast with a couple of grams 181 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: of protein in it, plus a medium sort of milky coffee, 182 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 2: which will give us about another seven to eight grams. 183 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 2: So all together, it's sort of the combination of things 184 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: that we're eating. So just don't be fooled that a 185 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 2: lot of these foods are you know, the predominant macro 186 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: in them might be carbohydrate or fat. Yes, they might 187 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: have some protein in them, but you really need to 188 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: kind of do a bit of combining with your foods 189 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: to ensure that you're getting up over that twenty grams 190 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 2: per meal. 191 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: And that makes a really good point about the type 192 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: of bread that you do have with breakfast, because if 193 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: you have a dense whole grain bread, something like a 194 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: bakerst like cape seed or a burg on soylin or 195 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: a tip top nine grain, you will get even up 196 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: to about eight grams of protein from the whole grain, 197 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: which is amazing because that's really topping up. It's not 198 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: the same as animal based protein, but it's still offering 199 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: that extra benefit nutritionally for the macro balance. Of the meal, whereas, 200 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: for example, and a lot of people have sour dough, 201 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: particularly if they're having breakfast out. Now, I think sour 202 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: dough's got a bit of a health halo, and we 203 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: can talk about that on another episode. But white sour 204 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 1: dough doesn't have any of that level of protein that 205 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: a good whole grain dense bread. So if you're at 206 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: a cafe, you're much better to go for rye or 207 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: multi grain than sour dough, unless they've got a soy 208 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: and lin seed or a grain based sour dough, So 209 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: keep that in mind as well. So I think we 210 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: could talk for hours on all the different ones, but 211 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: certainly they're the most common ones, and I think it's 212 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: just worth doing a check when you think you're having protein, 213 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: is it that really good quality, particularly if you're really 214 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: focused on fat loss, because that then comes a little 215 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: bit more important to really reach those macro targets. But then, 216 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: something I wanted to talk about this is your segon 217 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: leand so you'll jump in as well. But something that 218 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: had crossed my path again this week that I thought 219 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: was worth a discussion was the difference between eating for 220 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: satisfaction versus eating According to say macrobalance or a meal plan. 221 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: And it's an interesting conversation because, certainly, when we are 222 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: helping women with their dietary goals, or anyone who's ever 223 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: followed a meal plan, a diet has certain goals they're 224 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: trying to follow it. Even you might be following something 225 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: like a gluten free meal plan or a low fud 226 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: maps meal plan, or you might even have irritable bow 227 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: and as such being quite fussy with your meal choices. 228 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: But what I noticedly am with my clients is that 229 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: there is a level that comes what I describe as 230 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: diet fatigue, where people just get sick of having the 231 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: same thing or eating according to their macros. So they're 232 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: getting enough protein, and they're getting a serve of the 233 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: right type of carb, and they're getting all their veggies, 234 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: but they still don't feel satisfied. And I wanted to 235 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: talk about the importance of eating according to what will 236 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: actually satisfy you. And it's not just a physiological sensation 237 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: of satisfaction, it's what will actually give you that idea 238 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: of that's what I feel like eating. And I think 239 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: the most common example is when you've got cravings around 240 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: your period cycle that you're really hungry for something, and 241 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: then you keep trying to eat all the healthy food, 242 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: but you end up eventually eating the junk called the 243 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: chocolate anyway. And that's how I can describe the difference. 244 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: And sometimes when you really feel like something, it's okay 245 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: to have it, even if it isn't exactly what is 246 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: on your meal pantn er exactly what is according to 247 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: your dietary goals, because part of the feeding experience and 248 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: being human is actually enjoying your food. And one thing 249 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: I'll always say to Climb is I never want you 250 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: to eat anything you don't like. Like I might have 251 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: someone say, oh, I don't love tuna, but I'll have it, Well, 252 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: I don't want them to eat it if they don't 253 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: like it. I want you to have every meal that 254 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: you look forward to, that you enjoy eating. And if 255 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: you get to lunch at work each day and are 256 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: so sick of a salad or a so sick of 257 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: a rap, it's time to change. And the question I 258 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: would have is what do you feel like? And then 259 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: how can we make it healthier? So, for example, if 260 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 1: you really feel like a burger, well can you make 261 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: it with a lean beef patty? And a high protein 262 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: bun and have extra salad on the side, and then 263 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: you're going to be so much more satisfied than if 264 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: you eat the tuna salad plus the crackers plus an 265 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: extra rap because you were looking for that satisfaction. So 266 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: whilst macro guides and meal plans should always be used 267 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: as a guide, there's always room to move with eating 268 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: for what you feel like, and that's really important. I 269 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: also notice it after dinner when we might be sitting 270 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: down to relax and at the end of a long day, 271 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: and rather than think, oh, I'm allowed to have a 272 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: n ice cream, or I'm allowed to have some dark chocolate, 273 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: Or'm allowed to have a glass of wine, I would 274 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: reverse it and say start to really ask yourself what 275 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: you feel like eating as opposed to just eating because 276 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: you're allowed to have it. And certainly at times in 277 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: all of our lives, there'll be a timely and where 278 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: you really feel like a pasta or you really feel 279 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: like a greasy burger, and it's okay to have that. 280 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: It's all within that balance. It doesn't have to be 281 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: perfect to achieve results, and if anything, the human body 282 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: is less well behaved when it's perfect. All the time 283 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: because it gets so used to burning that way, it 284 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: doesn't do any hard work. So sometimes mixing it up 285 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: is actually the best thing you can do for metabolism. 286 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: And that's the best example I would start with is 287 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: when you're craving something sweet, really take the time to 288 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: consider what exactly will satisfy you. Is it a limp ball, 289 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: is it a biscuit? Are you wanting a bubbly diet 290 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: soft drink? You know, Actually, what is it you're looking for, 291 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: and crave it in the most healthy way you can, 292 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: as opposed to playing all these mind games. And in 293 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: the end, the difference is a couple of hundred calories. 294 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: It's really not going to make that much difference in 295 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: the big scheme of things. 296 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's a great point. And I've 297 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: got a couple of points to add here, hopefully I 298 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: can remember them all off the top of my head. 299 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 2: But the first one I wanted to make was often 300 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: when clients say, oh, I'm really craving this, particularly around 301 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 2: that populational period time. You know, Susie and I female 302 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 2: as well, we get it, like it's really difficult to 303 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: take control of those cravings, particularly around your period. So 304 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: we completely understand. But often what I'll say to my 305 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 2: clients is I want you to just take a second. 306 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: Don't eat the food right now, but take a second 307 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: and tell me is your body actually hungry for food? 308 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 2: Do you actually need to eat a meal first? And 309 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: often I'll get, you know, fifty fifty responses. It'll be like, no, 310 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: I just had dinner, Like great, all right, So then 311 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 2: we go down the mindful eating path. What do you 312 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: truly feel like? How can what you're eating truly bring 313 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 2: you satisfaction afterwards? And it's the ants is the opposite, 314 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 2: And they say, actually, I haven't had lunch yet, but oh, 315 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 2: I'm just craving chocolate. I've been craving it all day. 316 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 2: I'll say, no problem, we're going to park that for 317 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: a second. We're going to let you have the chocolate, 318 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: but let's actually put the fuel into your body first, 319 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: because no amount of chocolate is actually going to saytisfy 320 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 2: or give your body truly what it needs if you 321 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: haven't put the good fuel in first. And I always 322 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 2: like to I sort of say, fill up the body 323 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: with good fuel first, and then add the soul foods 324 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 2: as the sprinkles on top afterwards. So that's probably the 325 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: first concept that I really like my clients to just 326 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: think about, like is it true hunger and if it is, 327 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: you need to actually eat a well balanced meal first, 328 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 2: and then the craving part can come in afterwards. But 329 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: if you're eating a block of chocolate and your body 330 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: is actually truly hungry for food, you'll smash that entire block, 331 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: probably feel sick afterwards, and still not feel satisfied. And 332 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: that's the second topic I wanted to talk about was satisfaction. 333 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: And I often say to my clients there's two components 334 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: of satisfaction. One is was the meal of feeling enough? 335 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: Like did you actually eat enough food to feel satisfied? 336 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: And b did it give you the crunch and the 337 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: texture and the saltiness or the sweetness or whatever it 338 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 2: was that you're craving. Was that component of the meal 339 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: taken care of so that you're satisfied. So say, for example, 340 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 2: you eat a big juna salad with sinkinwa. It might 341 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: be filling enough, but if that's the fourth or fifth 342 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: time that week that you've had that meal, it's probably 343 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: not going to be satisfying. But say you took the 344 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: kinoa out of it and added a big handful of 345 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 2: corn chips and a bit of I don't know, selzen 346 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: and sour cream to that to give it a bit 347 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 2: of crunch and a bit of creaminess. It then might 348 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: still be filling, but it also might add that level 349 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: of satisfaction on top as well. So I always say 350 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 2: meals need to have two components. They need to be filling, 351 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: but they also need to be satisfying. And you mentioned that, Susi, 352 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: when you talked about that diet fatigue or meal planned fatigue. 353 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: Often women do get that and meant too. I imagine, 354 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 2: you know, I'm not a male, I can't talk for them, 355 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 2: but I imagine that a lot of people experience fatigue when 356 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 2: we're eating the same things constantly. And I think when 357 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 2: it comes to achieving a calorie deficit and achieving some 358 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 2: fat loss, we do that because it's easy. We go, well, 359 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: this meal fits my macrosor my calories, or I know 360 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: it's healthy, so I'm just going to eat this regularly, 361 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 2: and then we get a little bit of fatigue, and 362 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 2: so the meal becomes filling, but it's not satisfying. And 363 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 2: so it's really that satisfaction component that you want, and 364 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 2: I've got two good examples where I had a client 365 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 2: and she was like, I'm just craving two minute noodles. 366 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 2: She was like, don't judge me, but I just want them. 367 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 2: And I was like, look, no problem. I want you 368 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 2: to start with the two minute noodles and I want 369 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 2: you to think about everything that you know about how 370 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 2: to build a balance meal and what can we do here. 371 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: So she ended up adding she had a whole hypo 372 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,959 Speaker 2: frozen veggies in the freezer. I think it was like 373 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 2: green beans and carrots and broccoli, and she threw them 374 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 2: in and then she's like, how do I get my protein? 375 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 2: And I'm going to add a tin of tuna into this, 376 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 2: and she ended up making just like this I don't 377 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 2: know tuna sturf I thing. And I think she added 378 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: a bit of sauce that she had in the fridge 379 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 2: as well, and it's like, it's great because it gave 380 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: her what she wanted. The meal was balanced, so it 381 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 2: was filling, but it was also satisfying as well because 382 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 2: she ate the two minute noodles that she wanted. Now, 383 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 2: my other example was another client who I think the 384 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 2: family was going out too grilled for dinner and they 385 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: were having burgers, and she's like, but every time I go, 386 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 2: I feel like I slip up, I go off track. 387 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 2: And we talked through a number of different scenarios, and 388 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: I said, look, you can go and order what you 389 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 2: normally do, the burger, the fries think she normally gets 390 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: it with a like a glass of wine or something. 391 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 2: And I said, you can go and do that, but 392 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 2: we've talked through this often and you often say to me, 393 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: I feel overfull, I don't feel great afterwards. I hate 394 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 2: that the scale goes up and it's hard to achieve 395 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 2: my fat loss goals for the week. So I said, well, 396 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: if you don't want to do that, that's your choice. 397 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 2: What are the other options here, because we have multiple 398 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 2: other options. And she said to me, well, I just 399 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 2: won't go. And I said, well, yes, that's an option, 400 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 2: but then you miss out on that experience with your family. 401 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 2: And I think deep down it's important to model that 402 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 2: behavior with our children, that we can go and we 403 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: can enjoy these things and we can balance them out. 404 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 2: So let's go and enjoy it. But what can we 405 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: do and she said, well, maybe I'll order the burger, 406 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 2: but then I just won't have the fries, and I 407 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 2: said to her, you're very much like me. You love 408 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: your fries, so I would rather let you go and 409 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 2: you have the fries because you thoroughly enjoy them. And 410 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 2: you know, we never really talked about burgers being your 411 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 2: soul food. And she's like, you're right, Like, I would 412 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 2: actually much rather have the fries and the burger. And 413 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 2: so what ended up happening was that she didn't have 414 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 2: a glass of wine because she's like, look, I don't 415 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: really need it. I often just go and everybody, you know, 416 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 2: like Hobby gets did he gets beer, So I feel 417 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 2: like I have to have a wine. She's like, I'm 418 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 2: not going to get a drink. I don't need it. 419 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: I don't actually enjoy it that much. And she's like, 420 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 2: I'm going to try. There was this beautiful i think, 421 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 2: like pomegranate salad or something. So she's like, I'm gonna 422 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 2: have the salad with the chicken and I'm going to 423 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 2: have some fries on the side, because that is a 424 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 2: nice balanced meal. It's feeling and it's satisfying because she 425 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 2: added the component to her that felt the most satisfying. 426 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 2: It wasn't the wine, it wasn't the burger. It was 427 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 2: actually the fries, and so I think it's really about 428 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 2: adding that component that is satisfying, but still try and 429 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 2: bring it together in a balanced meal. If you want 430 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 2: to go and have the burger and the wine and 431 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 2: the chips, if that's truly what you want to do, absolutely, 432 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 2: and if that makes you feel great afterwards, you go 433 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 2: do that. You do you But in my client's case, 434 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 2: she identified that she never feels great after eating all 435 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 2: of that food. She's like, I feel heavier, i feel bloated. 436 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 2: I always feel like I've overeaten and it impacts my sleep. 437 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: And so that way, you know, doing this way that 438 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 2: she found was a really balanced approach worked really really 439 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 2: well for her. So I hope that those examples are 440 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 2: I guess helpful for someon of our clients. 441 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an interesting one, and it's for long term 442 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: diet as it can be tricky because we're so programmed 443 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: to want to follow something and it really takes patience 444 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: and there's an art to learning to listen to your 445 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: body but still feeling in control. So yeah, this is 446 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: something that comes up a lot. So hopefully those tips 447 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: have been helpful. All right, Leanne, you found some good aoli. Now, 448 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: let's be honest, who doesn't love chips and aoli? Is 449 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: there anything better? 450 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 2: Aoli is pretty good? Yeah, yeah, But I will say 451 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 2: it's not a salad dressing. I think you mentioned the 452 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: start was a salad dressing, and I was like, I 453 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 2: definitely wouldn't recommend aoli as a cell dressing. 454 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: It's in the salad dressing section though, yes, yes, but 455 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: see that's what you find. 456 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you're gonna, if you're gonna douse your 457 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 2: salad in aoli, it's going to be it's going to 458 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: be a pretty heavy salad to just be very conscious 459 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 2: of that. Again, if you want to do that, you 460 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: do you. But it's not something I would typically recommend 461 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: because it is more like a like a little bit 462 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 2: of a spread to put on the side to dip 463 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: you chippy and or something. But aoli itself packs a 464 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 2: pretty heavy punch, like it's very calorie dens, it's very 465 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 2: high in fat. But I saw this new one from Hines. 466 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 2: It's called Heine Seriously Good Light Aoli and it's got 467 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 2: a purple label at the front, made with free range eggs, 468 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 2: and I thought that sounds really interesting. And when I 469 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 2: compared it to the normal heinz aoli, it was significantly 470 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 2: lower fat. So this isn't what I would call a 471 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 2: total healthy product. This is something where if you love Aoli, 472 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 2: it's probably a better option if the goalless fat loss. 473 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 2: If you don't love Aoli, it's not something that I 474 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: would actively add into my client's meal plan because I 475 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 2: wouldn't call it a healthy sort of a healthy option, 476 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 2: but it's a better option if if Aoli is something 477 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 2: that you love, so it retails, I found it in 478 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 2: more worse. Oh, it doesn't actually have the price online. 479 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 2: That's interesting. From top of my head, I can't remember 480 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 2: maybe I don't know, three four dollars or something. I'll 481 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: have to double check the price on that. 482 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: I have a look now. 483 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it comes in a two hundred and ninety five 484 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 2: mil squeeze bottle. And then when we're looking at the 485 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 2: nutritionals per serving, and the serving size is twenty five meals, 486 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 2: that's a pretty decent meal. I've seen some of these 487 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 2: things and they say, you know, serving size is ten 488 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 2: meals or something, So that's about a tablespoon, which is 489 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 2: a really decent amount. So average energy per serving is 490 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 2: three hundred and fifteen kilogitals, so under one hundred calories 491 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: per serve, which for AOLI is pretty decent. Zero point 492 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 2: three grams of protein. We wouldn't expect protein in there. 493 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 2: This is a high fat product. Total fat is seven 494 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 2: point two grams, with saturated fat being zero point six grams. 495 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 2: The saturated fat is significantly lower than other types of 496 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 2: AOLI or mayonnaise on the market. Carbohydrate two point four 497 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: grams per serving, with sugars being one point four grams 498 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,239 Speaker 2: per serving, so very very low, and sodium being one 499 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five milligrams per serve, which is like 500 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 2: there's a little bit of salt in there, but nothing 501 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 2: crazy or nothing I would worry about. So when we 502 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 2: look at the ingredient list, the first ingredient is vegetable oil. 503 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 2: It doesn't specify what type of vegetable oil. I would 504 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 2: assume a range of vegetable oils. And this in a 505 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 2: product that we know is a high fat product. This 506 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 2: is something that I would, you know, naturally assume it 507 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: would either you know, be the eggs as a starter 508 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 2: or the vegetable oil. Next SIT's followed by white vinegar 509 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 2: water free range eggs at five percent there's a little 510 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 2: bit of added sugar, but as I said, it's only 511 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 2: one point four grams a serving, which I would think 512 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 2: is quite low. Mai is thickener, It's got mustard in it, 513 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 2: reconstituted lemon juice, salt, garlic at zero point eight percent, 514 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 2: some stabilizes food, acid, and some preservatives and antioxidant, so 515 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,479 Speaker 2: that is the list. It obviously contains eggs, so if 516 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 2: anyone has an egg allergy, not appropriate, and there is 517 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 2: a may contained statement for wheat, gluten and soy, so 518 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 2: unfortunately not appropriate for our ciliac listeners, unfortunately, but I 519 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 2: thought it was a better option compared to the majority 520 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 2: of aoli and mayonnaise on the markets. I will admit 521 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 2: I haven't tried it. I'm not a huge Ali person. 522 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 2: I don't buy it for my fridge. But if I 523 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 2: do go out and the girls have a you know, 524 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 2: simpchipieze to showt a restaurant, I will definitely Aoli in it. 525 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 2: But I haven't actually tried this one, so I can't 526 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: comment on the taste. But in terms of the nutritionals, 527 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 2: it is certainly much leaner than a lot of the 528 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 2: other Aoli brands on the market. 529 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: True and I've just had a look at the price. 530 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: It's usually five dollars fifty in supermarkets, so it's actually 531 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: this week when we're recording half price core foods in 532 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: the supermarket. If you can grab them when they're half priced, 533 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good outcome. So I'm with you, like 534 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: I think, if you love it. But I think a 535 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: lot of my clients will think that a server addressing 536 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: is about a tablespoon, and I think try and do 537 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: a tea spoon or to a particularly if it's a 538 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: higher fat option like aoli or mayo, just to again 539 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: just shave down some of those calories if you do 540 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: love that kind of flavor on things, because I was 541 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: thinking like ranch salads. I always have that kind of 542 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: aoli when you have a chicken ranch salad. So yeah, 543 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: there's a lighter option, which I think is always good. 544 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: All right ly, and we're to finish us off today. 545 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: We've had a listener question come through about diet soft drink, 546 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: and the question is I love diet soft drink and 547 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm trying to reduce my intake. But in terms of alternatives, 548 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: it is can butcher a better option? And as a 549 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: clear answer to the question, I would say in general, yes, 550 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,479 Speaker 1: you probably know more about kom butcher than I do. 551 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: But in general, what I know is that they're very 552 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: low calorie. There's no additives I would be concerned about. 553 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: It's a fermented tea product. Now, whether you're going to 554 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: get gut related benefits from a product like that, I'm 555 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: not sure. Because that it's fermented, we don't know what's 556 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: in the concentrations required, but it's certainly not going to 557 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: do any damage. As long as when you look on 558 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: the label there's no added sugars and the sugars are 559 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: very low, it will still be a really good choice. 560 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: I think the products in the supermarket generally that we're 561 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: seeing in that kind of low calorie beverage space, and 562 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: I think sometimes they're marketed is no tropic so for 563 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: focus or for energy. In general, they're pretty clean. I 564 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: think the only one I'd be concerned about at the 565 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: moment is, as we've mentioned, is that addition of taurine, 566 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: which I think we will see removed from a lot 567 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: of those energy type drinks, and they can have amino 568 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: acids in them. The no tropic performance enhancing drinks. But 569 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: in general, there's not a whole lot in them, and 570 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't overly be concerned. I'm a big family and 571 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: of just a good old sparkling water, you know, a 572 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: soda water, because people there's a perception it's very high 573 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: in salt, but it really is not. And I think 574 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: whether you've got a soda stream or you've got a 575 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: zip tap, or you do buy the bottled varieties. And 576 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: I had actually myself the Mount Franklin Mango lightly sparkling 577 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: one when we were out recently, and I actually quite 578 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: liked it. So if you need that little extra hit 579 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: and you're happy to spend three four dollars on a 580 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: drink that's basically water with a touch of flavor, go 581 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: for it. 582 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thinkombucha is quite expensive for what it is, 583 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: so it's not something that I would recommend us like 584 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 2: a daily thing for my clients. But certainly if I've 585 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 2: got clients that are going to say like a backyard 586 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 2: barbecue or a friend's birthday, and you know they're actively 587 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 2: trying to avoid or reduce down there alcohol, absolutely i'd 588 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 2: suggest taking something like kombucha. And I myself have done 589 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 2: that to you know, friends, parties where I don't want 590 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: to drink. I might take a four pack of Kombucher 591 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 2: and have one or two while I'm there, so I 592 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 2: think it's a greater They come in a little four pack. 593 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 2: You can't just buy one as opposed to a d vodka. 594 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're so cool with your four pack of kom Butcher. 595 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 2: No wellness, screw it. No, But I do like them. 596 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 2: They are fermented tea, so I do believe you get 597 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 2: some antioxidants from it being fermented tea. And like Susie said, 598 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: the majority of rangers on the markets are very low sugar, 599 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 2: very low calories, so I'm very happy for my clients 600 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: to have a Kombucher. They do provide some natural probotics 601 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 2: to the fermentation process. But the different brands and some 602 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 2: of them add active you know, sugar, some of them 603 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 2: have sweetness natural, some of them are artificial. I think 604 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 2: just read the label and make sure you're trying to 605 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 2: get a bit of a better brand. But certainly I 606 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 2: think it's going to be beneficial for your gut health overall. 607 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 2: How beneficial, I don't really think we know, because there's 608 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 2: some stream of thought that some of those bacterias don't 609 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 2: quite reach the stomach alive. We're not really sure, but 610 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's certainly not going 611 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 2: to do you any harm. I do recommend them regularly 612 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 2: for my clients if they are going out to more 613 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 2: of a social event, but it's just not something I 614 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 2: recommend daily purely from a cost perspective. But like you, 615 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 2: I'm a huge sparkling water fan. I love the zip type. 616 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: I love just getting a soda water, you know, with lime, 617 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 2: from out at the pub and I'm not having a drink, 618 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 2: or I might just have one wine and I feel 619 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,479 Speaker 2: like something else after that's not just water. I'll happily 620 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 2: get a soda water with a squeeze of lime or 621 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 2: something in it. So I'm a big kombucha fam I 622 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 2: personally drink it myself. And I also like the ones 623 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 2: that are more like the ginger lemon variety because again, 624 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 2: it's not that overly sweet sweet taste in your mouth 625 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: as well, which I think sometimes can sort of drive 626 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 2: us to want more sweet things a little bit later 627 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: on as well. So bottom line, I'm a big fan. 628 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 2: Just read your labels and make sure you're trying to 629 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 2: get one that's more naturally sweetened, not artificially sweetened, and 630 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 2: also look for something that does have the little you 631 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 2: know the benefits of the probotics in there as well. 632 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: Perfect all right, Well, that brings us standard The Nutrition 633 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: Cotch Podcast for another week.
