1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Are you ever offered food by a friend or family 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: member or colleague and felt as if you can't say no, 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: only then seeing yourself eat something you know that you 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: shouldn't or don't even really want, but you don't want 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: to offend the feeder. Don't worry, you are not alone. 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: And on today's episode of The Nutrition Couch, We're going 7 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: to give you all the tools and strategies you need 8 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: to keep your dietary goals on track no matter what 9 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: tempting treats you are offered. Hi, I'm Susie Burrow and 10 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: I'm Lene Wadd and together we bring you The Nutrition Couch, 11 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: the weekly podcast that keeps you up to date on 12 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: everything you need to know in the world of nutrition 13 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: as well as diet saboteurs. Leanne and I are going 14 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: to share our favorite go to winter superfoods, We review 15 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: a popular Asian quick and easy meal option, and our 16 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: listener question is all about weight loss medications and more specifically, 17 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: what should you do if it doesn't seem to be working? 18 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: So lean Today's case study, I feel is going to 19 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,959 Speaker 1: really resonate with a lot of listeners because I think 20 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: this pops up quite often and it was more a 21 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: remot that we perhaps haven't covered it for a little while, 22 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: because I had a client of mind describe her life 23 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: in which there's a lot of situations in which people 24 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: are offering her food. So she might go and meet 25 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: someone for a coffee and then there's cake, or someone 26 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 1: might bake her come and visit her and drop something 27 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: off at her house and bring her something a baked good, 28 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: for example. Or she goes to drinks and Nibbley's at 29 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: someone's house and they're offering foods that she doesn't necessarily 30 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: want to eat. And we really spent a lot of 31 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: time in the consult going through what that actually meant 32 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: and why she found it so very difficult to say no. 33 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of things psychologically going 34 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: on in the case of being offered food. And we 35 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: will preface this as we always do by saying that 36 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: Leanna and I are not food purists. We certainly are 37 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: not saying you should never have cake, or be rude 38 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: to someone, or be turning down a food that everyone's 39 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: being offered. So a classic example is I certainly would 40 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: not expect a client of mine to go to high 41 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: tee as a special occasion and not enjoy a scot 42 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: That is not what we're saying. What I'm talking about 43 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: is those random food occasions that pop up through the day, 44 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: through the week, all the time, and you just can't 45 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: eat it all. You know, you may not even feel 46 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: like eating it. Classy example is you're at a coffee 47 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: shop and someone orders a muffin and says, oh, do 48 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: you want to share? Or in the case of maybe 49 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: coming to your house for a visit and they bring 50 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: some cookies, or they bring some cake, or they bring something. 51 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: You know, there's so many different examples, and I'm sure 52 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: we can all think of them. There's feeders everywhere. And 53 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: you know, I'm guilty of this at times. I like 54 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: to bake, and I often like to take things, and 55 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: then I think, actually, am I being a bit slack 56 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: taking banana bread or something to the teachers at school 57 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: when they probably don't want to eat it because they're 58 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: trying to watch their weight. So it's a tricky one. 59 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: It's a conundrum, and only you will be able to 60 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: decide how much is too much. But for me, it's 61 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: too much when it's derailing you from your goals. And 62 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: in the case of my client, when we really nutted 63 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: it down. There were foods you didn't even really like 64 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: that much. It was more that she didn't want to 65 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: offend the person. And this is a big one I 66 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: find for women, and I find it's a big one 67 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: for women of a certain age because I find in 68 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: their life they've spent many years caring for other people. 69 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: They've spent years caring for children, they've spent years caring 70 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: for older parents, They've spent years caring for partners. 71 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: And the people around them. 72 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: They're used to pleasing people, and so the thought of 73 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: saying no to someone and having that boundary, even though 74 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: it compromises their goal, is very, very confronting. So you 75 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: can see that it's quite complex psychology of what's going 76 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: on in the case of refusing food and not wanting 77 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: to offend other people. So the first thing I would 78 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: say is in these situations, if this is resonating and 79 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: you're at an environment where there's a lot of food 80 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: around at work, or you are very social and there's 81 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: just a lot of food going on, and you end 82 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: up each week always having things that you know you 83 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: shouldn't or don't really want to be having, the first 84 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: thing is you've got to really start to separate out 85 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: special things to run on the mid occasion. So in 86 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: this example that I gave a high tea and a 87 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: scon at a high t is a special thing. You're 88 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: not going to high tea every week. You're probably celebrating something. 89 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: It's a special occasion. High tea goes along with scones. 90 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: No one's expecting you to say no to the scon 91 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: I'm talking more about the person who brings you some 92 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: cake after school, or someone who brings in cake to 93 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: work for someone's birthday, or you're at an event and 94 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: someone you know passes you something that you don't want. 95 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: You know, really it's not in your control. You're not 96 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: making that decision. You're feeling like it's someone else's. So 97 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: the first thing is to separate that out. If it's 98 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: runn of the mill weekly occasions and you really don't 99 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: need or want it, versus something that is specially and 100 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: you really feel like it. The next thing I would 101 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: say is whenever you have an opportunity to take ownership 102 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: of it and create a boundary, it's not a bad thing. 103 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: So for example, in a case of my client, this 104 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: person who was visiting her had said, I've made you 105 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: some cake, and I suggested, And these are all suggestions 106 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: that my clients say to her, Please don't bring it. 107 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: It's very kind, but I'm trying to lose weight or 108 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: I'm trying to eat healthy. It's okay to tell people 109 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: what you need. It's not personally offensive to them. But 110 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: until you create that boundary. Now, the other one I 111 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: sometimes usuallyand is I might say I can't eat that 112 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: at the moment, I've got stomach problems. Now that may 113 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: be a little white lie, but it instantly creates the 114 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: boundary so that it's not personal. So if someone passes 115 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: your piece of cake at work and you don't want 116 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: to have it, or you don't need it, you don't 117 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: feel like it, you can either say thanks so much, 118 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: but I can't eat that because I can't eat that 119 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: could be anything. You might not be off to eat 120 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: it because you just had your teeth fixed. You might 121 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: not be off to eat it because you've got something 122 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: wrong with your stomach. You might not be able to 123 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: eat because you're about to have a polonoscopy. But straight away 124 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: it separates out saying no, as opposed to know I'm 125 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: sorry and feeling guilty about it, and says, there's another reason, 126 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: because it could be anything you know, and no one 127 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: needs to know that it's okay to maintain your boundaries 128 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: to achieve your goals. So that's the other one. I 129 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: would say the third, and I think we've mentioned this before. 130 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: You can take it and not really eat it. And 131 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: certainly when you watch groups of people with food, they 132 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: might always take it, but they very rarely eat it. 133 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: And it's quite a useful psychological strategy. 134 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: But at a. 135 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: Deeper level, and probably what I wanted to talk about 136 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: more today is sometimes it's really worth questioning why you 137 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: are prepared to sacrifice your own goals for other people. 138 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: And many women are guilty of this. They'll skip the 139 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: gym because they don't want to ask the husband if 140 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: he can watch the kids, or they'll eat stuff. They 141 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: don't want you to please someone else, even though that 142 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: person doesn't care that they've worked really hard or week 143 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: on weight loss. So if you're guilty of sabotaging in 144 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: that way, coming from a place of trying to please others, 145 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: it's really worth considering why you're so ready to sacrifice 146 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: your own goals, and you actually have a long history 147 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: of this, because if you've had a long history of it, 148 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: if you've had kids, caring for partners. You're probably in 149 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: your fifties and you're probably resentful of a lot of 150 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: people because you've been constantly sacrificing your own self. And 151 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: that's something at a deeper level to really look at, 152 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: because that will be the reason you're irritated and annoyed, 153 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: not because the person is baked and brought it to 154 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: you because it's coming from a good place, but because 155 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: you are constantly will not do what you need that's 156 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: right for you. You're a people pleaser and trying to 157 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: please others, and that's really worth looking at because when 158 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: you identify that as a habit, like I always say, Leanne, 159 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: awareness is the first key of behavior change. And if 160 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: this is something in your life that's causing drama in 161 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: terms of not reaching your weight loss goals, and it's 162 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: because you're constantly pleasing people by eating the food they 163 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: order or eating the extras they serve you, that will 164 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: be the key difference to breaking that habit and really 165 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: taking control because it's not personal to them to say no, 166 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: it's not offensive to them, but you're ultimately only doing 167 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: your self harm by not and it will be likely 168 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: a behavioral pattern that's built over many years. 169 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: And I've got two little, I guess case studies or 170 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: stories to share because I agree with everything that you said, 171 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: and one was personal for me when I was going 172 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: through my own post party and weight loss journey. Like 173 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: you said, I had to be very conscious of the 174 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: things that I truly loved and I wanted to enjoy 175 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: and the other things that would just run up the 176 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: mill that were always seemed to be around if they 177 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 2: went to a birthday party or something like that. And 178 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: I have a friend and slash family member who whose 179 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: love language is cooking and baking and sharing. Like you 180 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: know how they talk about the love languages, or this 181 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: person's love language is to feed you. They're a feeder 182 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: in the best possible way because that's the way that 183 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: they show their love. They cook, they bake, that sort 184 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: of thing. And I remember once we'd had a beautiful 185 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: meal and it was like a couple of courses, like 186 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: it was a substantial amount of food, and then the 187 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: dessert came out and I said, oh, no, thank you, 188 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 2: I'm so full. And that was okay. That went by, 189 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: and then everyone took the piece of I think it 190 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 2: was like a slice or a cake. And then it 191 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: came back around to me and she said here you go, 192 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 2: and I said, oh, no, thank you, I'm full. You 193 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: have it, and she said, oh, no, I can't have it. 194 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 2: I'm full, and I said okay. And then about five 195 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: minutes later, it comes back gives me the plate and says, oh, 196 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 2: there's only one piece left. You have it, and I said, oh, no, 197 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: thank you, I don't want it. You have it, and 198 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: she looked at me and she said, oh, I don't 199 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 2: want it. And we kind of wrote this like Mexican 200 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 2: stand up what We're both staring at each other, and 201 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: I just said I don't want it, just like you 202 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: don't want it, and she just looked at me, and 203 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 2: it just dawned on her and she It's like for 204 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 2: the first time in her life, she actually was just like, Oh, 205 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: she doesn't really want it, because I think she's so 206 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: used to feeding people and that being her love language. 207 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 2: And when I push my card on her and said no, 208 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 2: you have it, and then she looked at me like 209 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: I don't want it. Why would you keep offering it 210 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: to her? And then I just looked at her the 211 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: same way, like you don't want it. I don't want it, like, 212 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 2: what are we going to do here? And she just 213 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 2: kind of like silently took the plate back in the kitchen, 214 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 2: and I was like this understanding that she'd never really 215 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: appreciate it, because I think she offers someone something, they 216 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 2: say no, she goes back into your opposite and they 217 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 2: take it because they feel you know, they feel bad 218 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,599 Speaker 2: or guilty, or they want to please them. So I 219 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 2: think it's really important that if you're going to say no. 220 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 2: My first tip, and I always said to my clients, 221 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 2: stand your ground because if you say no and then 222 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: five minutes laid, you come back around and you go, okay, yes. 223 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: Every time they offer you something you say no, they're 224 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 2: going to continually re offer it to you until you 225 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: say yes. So if you have that instance, be really 226 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: firm if you really don't want it. Like I was 227 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 2: genuinely full. I was satisfied. The thing that she'd made 228 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 2: wasn't something that I would deem a total soul food 229 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 2: for me, I'm not really a slice type of girls. 230 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: It looked nice, but I was genuinely full that I already 231 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 2: had a lovely glass of wine with my meal. That 232 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: for me like I totally just you know, was that 233 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: capacity with that meal I'd really thoroughly enjoyed myself. I 234 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 2: just didn't naturally need any more food. I could have 235 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: happily taken it home, yes, but it wasn't something I 236 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: thoroughly enjoyed anyway. If it'd been a piece of caramel slice, 237 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: absolutely because that's something I love. But I think it 238 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 2: was just a like a you know, standard kind of 239 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: lemon sliced, delicious, but not something that I typically loved. Now, 240 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 2: the other story that I have is a client who 241 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 2: stands really firmly in my mind because it was very 242 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 2: similar to what I've just described, where the love language 243 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 2: was her mother in law who would always bake her 244 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: particular things. And she, this klient of mine, had Seiliac disease. 245 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,119 Speaker 2: So not only would the mum in law bake for everybody, 246 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 2: she would bake something in particular for my client and 247 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 2: I've made this especially for you. They were the comment 248 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: she was getting, and my client felt so guilty. She 249 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 2: was like, how do I say no where she's gone 250 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: out of her way to make something for me? Like, 251 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 2: I can't say no. And so it started with the 252 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: really frank discussion about her really having tried hard for many, 253 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: many years to lose weight, really investing a significant amount 254 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: of you know, money and time into her health. They 255 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 2: had that conversation, lo and behold the next family dinner. 256 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 2: They tended to do family dinners about once a week, 257 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: so it wasn't something that was just like, you know, 258 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: once every couple of months and you know, you could 259 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 2: just kind of let it go. It was every single 260 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 2: week that had this conversation. The week before the next 261 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 2: week rolled around and the mom in law had baked 262 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: something else for her, and she said, you know, remember 263 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: the conversation were, oh, but it's only this, I baked 264 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 2: it especially for you. Just have this little bit now 265 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: and then I won't do it next week. And my client, 266 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 2: like we'd had the pep talk, and she stood firm 267 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 2: and she said, no, you know, no, I'm really full. 268 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: I don't like it. I really appreciate you doing that. 269 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: And in the end she ended up just saying, look, 270 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 2: I'll have some I'm not hungry at right now, I'll 271 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 2: take it home. So she ended up taking I think 272 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: an enormous gluten free like a whole cake home with 273 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: her at time, and then you know, the next week 274 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: it happened again. So basically they just went back and forth. 275 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 2: They continued to have this conversation. Every week she'd do 276 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 2: something until my clients that I understand that this is 277 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 2: the way that you want to show me love, and 278 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: I deeply appreciate that. But how about, if it's okay 279 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: with you, can you buy me some flowers instead? And 280 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 2: the next week she actually sent a little text her 281 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 2: mom in law saying, I'm so looking forward to the 282 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: family dinner. The kids are really excited. Just wanted to 283 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: remind you of the conversation we had. I don't need 284 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 2: you to go out of your way and bake for me, 285 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: but if you would like to do something, there's zero expectation, 286 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: but I would love some flowers. And that seems weird 287 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: for a lot of people, but in her culture it 288 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: was a sign of love and respect to I guess 289 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 2: provide something for that guest. And so for the first 290 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 2: time in many years, she went to that dinner, Susie, 291 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: and there was a beautiful bunch of flowers waiting for 292 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 2: her and no entire gluten free cakes, and she was like, 293 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: oh my goodness. So it was about that honest and 294 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 2: open communication. But that wasn't enough in this stage, she 295 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 2: actually had to go and offer an alternative. And most 296 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 2: women would feel completely uncomfortable asking their mum in law 297 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: for flowers, but in this instance, she wanted to provide 298 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: something that was her love language. She was spending hours 299 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 2: in the kitchen baking for her, which wasn't needed, It 300 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: wasn't it wasn't unappreciated, but it was just putting a 301 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: real hindrance on her own journey. And that if you're 302 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 2: going to take home an entire gluten free cake, chances 303 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: are you're only human and you're going to eat some 304 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: of that and probably not just one slice, probably a 305 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 2: little bit more. So it makes losing weight very, very difficult, 306 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 2: and she was getting really upset with herself and also 307 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 2: her mother in law because she was sort of creating 308 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 2: this situation. So it had a really positive ending where 309 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: both women were very happy in the end. One was 310 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 2: able to provide something that the other one genuinely wanted 311 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 2: and they were both really happy in the end and 312 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: there was no wasted to gluten free treats in the 313 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 2: very end of that. So I think that is really 314 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 2: important to have those clear lines of communication and like 315 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 2: Susie said, you don't have to say, hey, I don't 316 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: want someone i'm losing weight. My thing for my clients 317 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 2: is generally like you, Susie, Oh sorry, I'm working with 318 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 2: the dietaries on some of my gut issues, so I'm 319 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 2: not having too much of that stuff because it sets 320 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 2: me off or which is genuine, because most of my 321 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: clients do come to me with a bit of you know, 322 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: ero to a bowl or a bit of an unset stomach, 323 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 2: or the other one is no, thank you, I'm full. 324 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 2: And it's very hard for people to go, oh, just 325 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: a little bit when you say I'm full, When you 326 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: say I'm trying to lose weight, they will find another 327 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: way to get you to have a little bit like 328 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 2: oh just a little bit, It's okay, no worries. But 329 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: when you just I'm genuinely i'm full, like I did 330 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: with my friend, I was like, no, thank you, I'm full, 331 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: and then we have this Mexican standoff where we're looking 332 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: at each other like no, you have it, No you 333 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: have it, No thanks, I don't want it. I'm full. Well, 334 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 2: no thanks, I don't want it. I'm full. It just 335 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 2: becomes a lot more I think appreciate it all. You 336 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: can't really say too much around somebody saying no, thank you, 337 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: I'm full. You can't just go well, eat it anyway, 338 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 2: make yourself feel sick. It doesn't really make sense. So 339 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 2: I feel like it's a nice little comeback, like I 340 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: really appreciate that, thank you so much, but I'm full, 341 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 2: and a push comes to shove. If they're really giving 342 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: you a bit of grief around it, take a slice 343 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 2: home and then do what you want with that at 344 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: home later, factor it into your week, give it to 345 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: one of your loved ones, that sort of thing. But 346 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: I think it's really important to stave firm and your decision. 347 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: If you're the type of person that goes, oh, oh, 348 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: thank you. In five minutes later you turn around and 349 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: accept a slice, they're going to know that. Like to them, 350 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: it just seems like you you're going to say yes 351 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: eventually and you want it. You're just trying to be 352 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: quote unquote good, So they're going to weigh you down eventually. 353 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 2: So I feel like that's the most important thing I 354 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 2: say to my clients is make a decision. There's no 355 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 2: right or wrong, either eat it or don't. I don't 356 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: really mind it's your goals, it's your choice. But when 357 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 2: you make that decision, you need to stay firm on that. 358 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: You can't be, you know, flip flopping all over the 359 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: side of the fence, because they're going to weigh down 360 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 2: you will power. 361 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: Eventually, they detect they detect weakness, and I think it's 362 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: relevant for all of us when you are catering for women. 363 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: I've got another two personal examples actually of just friendship groups. 364 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: I went recently to a dinner with a group of 365 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: girls and it was like Italian restaurant and we'd ordered 366 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: like barata that came with bread and stuff is the entree. 367 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: And then when it came to ordering the mains, one 368 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: of the girls said, no, we can't have pizza. We've 369 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: had too many cabs. So half the table hungry because 370 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: they really did want the pizza, but no one would 371 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: go against the strong one who said no cubs, which 372 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: was not me. I was like, and then another you've 373 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: got a dinner coming up, and one of the girls said, 374 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: I'll make a sticky day pudding and I said, you 375 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: know what, we don't need it, None of us need it. 376 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: We probably actually don't want it, but if it's there, 377 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: we'll all eat it, like, let's just not do it 378 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: like often we over cater in groups of women, and 379 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: I think it's okay to just pull back a little 380 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: bit and say not that you can't have dessert, but 381 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: do something lighter, because when the food is there, you 382 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: all eat it. If the pizza had been there that night, 383 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: we all would have eaten it, and we probably didn't 384 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: need it. So I think, just be mindful that when 385 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: you are with groups of women or are catering, give 386 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: people that space and option to make the lighter choices 387 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: if they want it, but also have a lighter dessert option, 388 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: or don't necessarily assume, because a lot of us are 389 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: guilty of applying people with a lot of food as well. 390 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: So it's okay to cut back a little bit if 391 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: we are eating, keeping in mind things like desserts have 392 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: as many calories as the whole meal. 393 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 3: So that's just what I said to my friend. 394 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: You know, she likes to cook, but you know we 395 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: don't actually need it, so let's just cut back. And 396 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: with the cost of food so high at the moment, 397 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: it's not bad to cut back a little bit in general, 398 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: which lends us to our next topic. I want to 399 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: talk about because of course we are in the depths 400 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: of winter. I know up in Brisbane it's been colder 401 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: even than Sydney. It's very chilly. You know, my clients 402 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: who have hired or what exercise mics are really happy 403 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: because they're not feeling like going out walking. 404 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 3: So that was a smart investment. 405 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: But I wanted to talk about a few of the 406 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: winter foods that I really do lean on at this 407 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: time of year to sort of make that healthy comfort 408 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: food because it's lent to recipes I've been working on 409 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: and I thought probably good to share it with our listeners, 410 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: so I'll share a few of mine. I really like 411 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: felo pastry. Now I know that it's a bit messy 412 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: to use, but if you love pies, which so many 413 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: of us do, you know pastry is really high in calories. 414 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: It's very hard to find reduce fat puff pastry. It 415 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: also you sort of buy six sheets if you might 416 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: only use one, then you end up throwing it out. 417 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: Whereas I find felo, it's not as sort of delicious 418 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: because it's not as high fat and saturated fat and 419 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: transfats probably, but it still. 420 00:17:59,080 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 3: Comes out pretty well. 421 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: I've got a great spinach pie I do with filo 422 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: on top, you can definitely make like a pasty. Actually, 423 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: do we use felo for out Leanna And I've got 424 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: a book coming out? Did we use filo for those 425 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: sausage rolls in that book? Kind of have to check. Yeah, 426 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: So you can sort of do your own pasties pies. 427 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: Just use it on the top. It's relatively inexpensive. It 428 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: keeps really well wrapped up, so I use Felo all 429 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: the time. The other product I use a whole lot 430 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: of in winter is the Greek yogurt. Now I don't 431 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: use a high protein one. I'll just get the Farmer's 432 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: Union all the coals or woolies regular Greek yogurt, which 433 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 1: is about ten percent fat. But because it does have 434 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: a fat load, it really is good as for creaming 435 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: sauces and things up. 436 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 3: So whether I'm. 437 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: Doing zucchini and walnut bread, whether I'm using it in 438 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: a curry, I find that's a really nice alternative to 439 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: sour cream to give things a creaminess and a richness, 440 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 1: Like even if you're doing a soup and you mix 441 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: it through, it just gives it that nice taste and flavor. 442 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: And again I find it a really cost effective ingredient 443 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: and you can use it in several different ways. And 444 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: then the other one I use a lot of is 445 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: the frozen greens, so things like the kale, the spinach. 446 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: I find they work really well to add them to 447 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: soups smoothies at this time of year, and very inexpensive 448 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: compared to fresh ones. And then probably my final one 449 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: is I don't use a lot of legumes. I know 450 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: you use a lot more than I do, but certainly 451 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: cannellini beans are my absolute favorite in soups and I've 452 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: got a couple on my Instagram. I find they just 453 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: make a beautiful soup and you can blend them down. 454 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: They almost come like a really delicious pace and you 455 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: can get them for like a dollar a can. So 456 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: Cannellini beans is probably my other go to at this 457 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: time of year. 458 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: So we used lut frozen puff pastry sheets. 459 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, because it tastes better. 460 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: But you can do, let's be honest, you can do 461 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: you feel like I do? 462 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 3: You know if I'm doing. 463 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: I do use the reduced fat path, but I think 464 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: don't forget the filo because it can come up really 465 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: well and sometimes actually, you know how you do the fillow. 466 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: You lay it out and you can just spray it 467 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: with a bit of spray olive oil. 468 00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's a bit dry. 469 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can don't smel like that, Like, just 470 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: be positive. We're trying to be positive. 471 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 3: She was like, O R. 472 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: I cut it into the pieces and then put it 473 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: into the muff and tins. So you put a few 474 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: in the muff and tins and then you can make 475 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,479 Speaker 1: like a little fritata or a little chiche. You can 476 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: put the spinach pie mix in that. And that's quite 477 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: a good way of using fel over because it's otherwise 478 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: it can be fiddley. So that's a good tricky way 479 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: to avoid kind of the issue with making it fit 480 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: and things like that. 481 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 2: Well, that was one of my you stole one of 482 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 2: my own. Went to favorite superfoods with forratatas. I think 483 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 2: they're just so easy. I like to beat cottage cheese 484 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 2: and eggs together and then just dump in whatever vegetables 485 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 2: you like. And I have some clients who like to 486 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 2: use a little bit of leftover sort of protein, whether 487 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 2: you might have cooked a little bit of salmon or 488 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 2: a little bit of chicken or something and throw that 489 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 2: in as well. Just to boost the overall protein as well, 490 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 2: and then any veggies that you like can always a 491 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 2: little bit of cheese on top. Lots of seasonings don't 492 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 2: go astray. I feel like people don't really love for retatas, 493 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 2: but they don't season it very well, so the obvious 494 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 2: salt and peppa I love. Using dill dial is my 495 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: just obsession at the moment. Susie's not in seasons, so 496 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: I just get the you know, the dry, the powdered 497 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 2: dial from the herb and spice section of the soupermarket. 498 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 2: I'm just obsession. I've also started using a little bit 499 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 2: of onion powder and garlic powder. I feel like onion 500 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 2: garlic powder plus still, but a salt and pepper goes 501 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 2: such a long way when we're talking about it. For Tata. 502 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 2: One of my other favorites is a good old chicken soup. 503 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 2: We've talked about really you know, using the bones of 504 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 2: chicken to really make that really nourishing broth and then 505 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 2: adding a really good base of onion and garlic and 506 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 2: then tons of veggies that from an immunity perspective, because 507 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: you're getting a lot of the pre natural prebotics out 508 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: of the onion and garlic is really really powerful. I 509 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: also love baked oats, particularly in winter. I like to 510 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 2: boost the protein but either adding protein powder into the 511 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 2: baked oats and then it's like meal prepped and ready 512 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 2: to go. I also love using things like oats in there. 513 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: I've got a really great one on my Instagram page 514 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 2: Sousi a crunchy berry baked oats. If you scroll back 515 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 2: about a week or two under my reels, that's really 516 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 2: that was a really popular one. I also love my 517 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 2: slow cookut in winter. So I might be doing like 518 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 2: a bit of a beef curry where I like to 519 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 2: use beef chicks or the is it the shoulder that 520 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: really stews down really nicely. It just like flakes apart 521 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 2: with a fork. It's beautiful. I always like to put 522 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 2: things like pumpkin and chickpeas into my curries, a little 523 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 2: bit of tumeric black pepper to activate. The pepper activates 524 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: the tumeric as well. In that sort of like a 525 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 2: really nice anti inflammatory meal as well. I love using 526 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 2: my slow cooker in winter. Pumpkin soup is another really 527 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 2: good one. I have a lot of my ladies SUSI 528 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 2: who like either pumpkin soup or tomato soup, and I 529 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 2: say that's fine, but we've got to get some protein 530 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 2: in because neither of them really have enough protein in there. 531 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 2: So I like to add a bit of Greek yogurt 532 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 2: through either the pumpkin or tomato soup to add the 533 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 2: creaminess to it. But I also like to either add 534 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 2: something in there to boost the protein, because even a 535 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 2: good dollop of break yogurt is not enough protein in 536 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 2: that meal. So I like to get them if they're 537 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 2: making pumpkin soup, a tin of butter beans or candellini 538 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 2: beans like you mentioned, blends really well into pumpkin soup. 539 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: My other little hack is something like nutritional yeast flakes 540 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 2: or loup and flakes into something like a veggie based soup. 541 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 2: Again really boosts the protein and fiber in that soup. 542 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 2: All the alternative is to make you know your pumpkin 543 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 2: on tomato soup how you would normally make it, and 544 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 2: serve it with some of the low carb, high protein toast, 545 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 2: just to give that, you know, the soup and overall 546 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 2: protein boosts as well. And then probably my final little 547 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: winter superfood not so much just a food, but it's 548 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 2: just herbal tea this time of year. I have a 549 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 2: lot of clients like I took to a lady a 550 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago and she was having eight cups 551 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: of tea and I was like, oh, and of course 552 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 2: there were milky with sugar in there. Well, I was like, 553 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 2: we've got to cut it down. And it was just 554 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 2: a bad habit that's crept in summer. Sorry, during winter. 555 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 2: During summer she barely drinks any tea. But during winter 556 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: she lives in Sydney just to stay warm. She just 557 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 2: you know, doubles tribbles down on her tea intake, which 558 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 2: when you're adding milk and sugar into it, really, you know, 559 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 2: ramps up the calories. So I love herbal tea. I 560 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 2: say to my clients, don't go two nuts with the 561 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 2: milky teas and the milky coffees, because obviously, you know, 562 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 2: one or two a day is fine, but if you're 563 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 2: having four or five, six, seven, eight cups a day, 564 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 2: you're getting way more caffeine, which may impect your sleep, 565 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 2: but you're also obviously adding to the calorie load of that. 566 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 2: So I'm a big fan of the herbal teas. I 567 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 2: love tea too at this time of year. They've just 568 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 2: had a massive sale recently, which I love because you 569 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 2: know it's not it's quite bougey tea. It's quite expensive, 570 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 2: but it is very you know, it is does feel 571 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: very nice and sort of comforting, particularly in winter summer. 572 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 2: Bit found of getting yourself some nice herbal teas. My 573 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 2: only tip would be if you are looking at one 574 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 2: of those nice herbal tea shops like Tea Too, just 575 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 2: check the ingredient list because some of them actually do 576 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 2: have quite a bit of sugar in there because they 577 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 2: naturally add sugar or they add something like honey into 578 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 2: the tea mix as well. So when we're thinking of 579 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 2: herbal teas, really the best ones are the ones that 580 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 2: are literally just the tea leaves, so you're not getting 581 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 2: any added sugars or calories there as well. 582 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: I think going back to the eggs, I always like 583 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: to serve things like frattatas or omelets. Is a meal 584 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: with chutney, like you know you can get those gorgeous chutney's. 585 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: I think that just gives it beautiful flavor. My favorite 586 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: tea at this time of year, because I do ramp 587 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: up the tea, is the English Breakfast Shop green tea 588 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: with pomegranate. It is delicious, no sugar added. It is 589 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: so nice. But yeah, no, I think that it's this 590 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: time of year that we really want to keep inspired 591 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: with our diet and avoid takeaway as much as we can, 592 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: even though it's tempting. So if we can keep a 593 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: bit of excitement around the food, that's always good. Oh, 594 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: I know I've got a new Actually, I wanted to say, 595 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: Leanne has got this great new snack range. You've done 596 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: ten days of whole some snacks on your Instagram, which 597 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: is just great. And because of the way the algorithm's working, 598 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: you're not necessarily seeing people's posts. So if you haven't 599 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: seen leans ten days of wholesome Snacks, like, they are 600 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: really good recipes you've popped up there and they're all free, 601 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: so that's really good. But I've got a new tomato 602 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: soup recipe that's in my Winter Warmers book, which isn't free, 603 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 1: but is. I got the protein up for the tomato 604 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: soup with a milk, putting the milk through it as well, 605 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 1: and it came up pretty good because obviously a lot 606 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: of the commercial tomato soups have a lot of added 607 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: sugars and I wanted a creamy one, and this recipe 608 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: I've worked out with the milk came up really well. 609 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: So that's in winter warmers. So we've got plenty of 610 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: resources around for people if you're looking for a bit 611 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: of inspiration. But our product of the Weekly and the 612 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: bow bun. Now, I have not previously had a lot 613 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: of bow. 614 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 3: Buns in my life. 615 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: And let's be honest, though they're delicious, you'd be a 616 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: bower bun fan, wouldn't you. 617 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 3: What's Sophie's take on a bow bun? 618 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, Mum's at og. Yeah yeah, Sophie makes some from scratch. 619 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 2: Will be horrified if I bought them. I was recommending 620 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 2: bought ones. 621 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: But she wouldn't put some of this stuff into it, 622 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: I bet. Because a friend of mine loves the boo bun, 623 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: so I thought, oh, the other night I had the 624 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: pulled pork and I thought, oh, I would quite like 625 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: a bau bunk. And they're selling them in supermarkets now, 626 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: so I look open, get my little nutritionals out and 627 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: then I almost have a heart attack. 628 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 3: But the l and what is in abau bun? 629 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: So I thought we'd just have a chat about it, 630 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: not to say that their foods to never eat because 631 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: obviously they're cultural foods that can fit really nicely into 632 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: different meals. And we'll talk about Sophie's because I bet 633 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: hers don't have some of this stuff in it. But 634 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: I was a bit shocking, and because I just had 635 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: a look at the good old brands that in the supermarket, 636 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: King of King's Guau Boo buns and the ingredient list first, 637 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: so it's fifty one percent wheat flour and wheat starch 638 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: and cornstarch and sugar. They're the first four ingredients, which 639 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: is basically the most refined type of carbohydrates plus sugar. 640 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: And then I had another heart attack because I saw 641 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: vegetable shortening. Now, admittedly it's used in small amounts, but 642 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: basically when you see shortening on any ingredient list, it 643 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: suggests heavily saturated slash transfats, which is kind of why 644 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: bau buns taste a bit like a doughnut, raising agents 645 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: yeast and water. And then when I looked at the 646 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: amount of fuel in a Boo buon, it was twenty 647 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: one or twenty point nine grams of carbohydrate, which is 648 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: almost two slices of bread. In one little balbon, four 649 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: grams of sugar and one hundred calories, and I just 650 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: couldn't buy them. As a dietitian. In the Anne, I 651 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: just had as much as I was craving a boo 652 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: bun because. 653 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 3: Like normally what you'd eat, you said, like three or four. 654 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: Balons easily, that's like eighty sixty to eighty grams of 655 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: carb Like that's almost as much as some people need 656 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: the whole day, and I just couldn't do it. 657 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 3: I couldn't do it. 658 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 2: You read out the nutrition to me, and I said, 659 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 2: what sch one was that? And then I realized that 660 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 2: was per one, not per serving, and I thought, oh god, 661 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 2: people would eat four to six of them. So that's 662 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: where the issue is. 663 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: Well, they're delicious because they're like cake, because they are 664 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: like cake, like the literally white flour sugar, and. 665 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 2: There's no protein either, so it's it's not very satisfied, 666 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 2: sut lyeah perserving Each boo bun's only got two point 667 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: four grams of protein, so very low compared to twenty 668 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 2: one grams of carbs. So yeah, if you had four, 669 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 2: you're talking about eighty grams of carbohydrate and sadly still 670 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 2: less than ten grams of proteins. You're going to keep 671 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 2: eating them and eating them and eating them until you 672 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 2: feel satisfied because there's no veggie there, there's no fiber 673 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 2: bulk there, and there's minimal protein there for that satidy factor. 674 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 2: So you're going to keep over eating that carb until 675 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 2: you actually get that protein up high enough, which we 676 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: know from the research is closer to twenty grams. So 677 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 2: most people would probably need six to ten of these 678 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 2: to feel somewhat even satisfied. And then you know, you're 679 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 2: looking at a thousand calorie meal. Who knows how many 680 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 2: carbohydrate well over one hundred grams. 681 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's like six hundred calories, six hundred calories 682 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: just a boo bun. 683 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 3: It's not even with any filling. 684 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, So they're delicious, But to me, they're an entree 685 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 2: like I would have one as like an entree to 686 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 2: a meal, like a beautiful you know, chicken stir fry 687 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 2: with some Asian Chinese greens in there. That's how I 688 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 2: would use a boobun, not as a meal itself. So 689 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if people feel the same way, but yeah, nutritionally, 690 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,479 Speaker 2: they're absolutely more of a treat food aren't they. 691 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had to and I really was craving it, 692 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: but I just could not do it. 693 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 3: I had to put it back. But I'd be interested. 694 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: She can we ask your mom for next time how 695 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: she would make hers, because I'd be very surprised if 696 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: your mum like would use half those ingredients. 697 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 3: So we need to get a look. 698 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 2: Well, the basis is wheat flour and corn starch essentially, 699 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 2: like you're not going to use like wholemeal flour and 700 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 2: something like a balbum because it would totally change the texture. 701 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 2: So I think the probably the level of carb would 702 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 2: be similar, but I think she rolls them thinner, so 703 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: because the bowbon is quite you know, it's quite dense, 704 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 2: isn't It's quite thick bread. And then with the stuff 705 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 2: that you put in the middle, sometimes she'll use you know, 706 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 2: prawn and ginger and garlic and water chestnuts, and you know, 707 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 2: she does beautiful flavorings in the middle, and a lot 708 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 2: of time it's a bit of pork with a bit 709 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: of you know, that sweeter sauce, so like a hoistson 710 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: or oh what's that other one that like catch up 711 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 2: may naise that sort of sauce. I think which is fine, 712 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 2: but I think you just need to be conscious that 713 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: I personally would call this something more like an entree 714 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 2: versus having four or five, six of them as part 715 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 2: of a meal. I think it's hard to balance these 716 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 2: out as part of a meal. But if you can, 717 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 2: I've seen just the bun itself sold and then you 718 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 2: add your own filling to that, I personally think that 719 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 2: would be a better option. So you can get a 720 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 2: bit more protein and some veggie into the filling, you know, 721 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 2: chop up some mushroom, chop up some water chestnuts, some 722 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 2: spring onions, use a bit of leaner protein, and then 723 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 2: in terms of the source, just using a very little 724 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 2: bit and pack that into the bun versus just putting 725 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: a tiny bit in there for two grams of protein 726 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 2: per bun is nowhere near enough in terms of you know, satiation. 727 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: Oh, they're like pure sugar to the blood glucose like 728 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: your sugar levers. 729 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,239 Speaker 3: Just go sky high with that. 730 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: For anyone with glucose regulation issues, I'd be a hard nose. 731 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, enjoy your bows in moderation. But yeah, I 732 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: was a bit shocked at actually what. 733 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 3: Was in them. And then maybe leanne you can have 734 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 3: a segment. Since I've hogged the whole podcast, would you 735 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 3: like to have a chat? Thanks for coming today. 736 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 2: Listener question? What is that listener question today? Well, you 737 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 2: wrote the scripts. I don't even know what we're doing. 738 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 2: I have been taking sex Sender, and to be honest, 739 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 2: I'm not noticing any difference. Is this normal? Well, if 740 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 2: you are drug companies, certainly not, because they would say 741 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 2: that sex Cenda is a wonder drug and you definitely 742 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 2: should be losing weight. So but like everything you know, 743 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 2: these drugs are not a one hit wonder. They're not 744 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 2: something that you just take and hope for the best. 745 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 2: They absolutely are and I'm sure if you read the 746 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 2: fine print on the packet, like most things, it says 747 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 2: in combination with a healthy diet and lifestyle, which means 748 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 2: that you need to be exercising, you need to be 749 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 2: making some positive lifestyle changes as well, so you should 750 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 2: be noticing some difference. I mean, it obviously depends on 751 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 2: the timeframe. If you've been taking it two days, you 752 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 2: probably are not going to notice any difference. But if 753 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 2: you've been on it for a good I would say 754 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 2: two to four weeks, I would want to see some notice. 755 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 2: With difference on the scale, and again this depends on 756 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 2: how large you are. I would imagine if you're taking 757 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 2: a weight loss type of drug, you're in a larger body, 758 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 2: so I would be hoping for at least, you know, 759 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 2: i'd say two to four kilos on the scale per month, 760 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 2: and that's an average. So if you drop you know, 761 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 2: three kilos in the first week, not much in the 762 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 2: second week, a kilo on the third week, and not 763 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 2: much in the fourth week, we want to take that 764 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 2: average across the month, right, We're not looking for the 765 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 2: scale to go down one or two kilo every week. 766 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 2: It really the way that fat loss works is that 767 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 2: some weeks could be very stable in between other weeks 768 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 2: to be a really big job. Other weeks could even 769 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 2: be a slight increase. And that's all very normal, particularly 770 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 2: for our ladies because of the hormonal shifts and you know, 771 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 2: periods and hormones and that sort of thing as well 772 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 2: can kind of play havoc in terms of how much 773 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 2: fluid the body retains. So I would say that if 774 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 2: you've been taking this type of drug for at least 775 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 2: a month, you should definitely be noticing some differences, and 776 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 2: if you're not, it is very likely that you are 777 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 2: not I guess adequately controlling, and the nutrition and lifestyle 778 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 2: factors that you should be as well. It's in combination. 779 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 2: It's all three of those things working together, not just 780 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 2: a miracle weight loss drug in isolation. 781 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: I think the thing for me is that sex cender 782 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: is a very different drug to ozen peak and we'll 783 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: go v and Manjaro. So whilst it does have the 784 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: golp peptide to regulate appetite, it doesn't encourage the pancreas 785 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: to increase the production of insulance. That's the key difference 786 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: between the semaglue tides that we're hearing about and then 787 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: sex sender. Now, sex in my experience, should only be 788 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: prescribed for when we I think we should say this. 789 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: I often use the word gross overeating, And the reason 790 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: why you say that is that it's kind of a 791 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: clinical term in hospitals you use, but it's not a 792 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: very nice word, so I'll try not to use it anymore. 793 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: But it's really used for overeaters, for people who have 794 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: difficult with appetite control as opposed to someone with glucose 795 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: regulation and hormonal weight gain linked to insulin. That's not 796 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: working as efficiently as it should. So when I see 797 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: Saxender prescribe for someone who's not really an overeater in 798 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: some cases that they're not eating enough and they're not 799 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: optimizing metabolism, I just roll my eyes because I realize 800 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: that the prescribing clinician is not understanding the underlying reason 801 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: for the weight. It's just a medication they can prescribe 802 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: reasonably easily and it's readily available. So if you have 803 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: a waste over one hundred centimeters, if you have signs 804 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: of clinical engine resistance, you've got a family history of diabetes, 805 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: you had gestational diabetes, sex Sender's not the drug for you. 806 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: And that's what doesn't work in many of my women 807 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: because they weren't overeating to start with. So a drug 808 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: that's maybe working on appetite that's not dysregulated, it's not 809 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: going to work. So to me, it's very very simple, 810 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: and I've only had success with sex Sender with people 811 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: who do tend to binge eat, particularly at nighttime. Even 812 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: in that case, if they do have instance issues, that 813 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: may still work. But for those who don't overeat, it's 814 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: usually an interesting issue. It's the wrong medication. If you're 815 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: going to take meds, it should be ozen peak will 816 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 1: go VI Manjaro. So that's the reason. So I think, 817 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: just be very clear what these medications are for. And 818 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: this is where the specificity isn't clear in the media. 819 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: You know, I've seen so many podcasts with people talking 820 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: about ozen peak and they haven't even mentioned the effect 821 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: on insulin. Like this is just journalists who don't understand 822 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: the underlying mechanisms of the drug talking about something they 823 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: shouldn't be. So get your medical advice from medical professionals, 824 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: and get your weight loss advice from weight loss specialists. 825 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: And it's not enough to be a general GP or 826 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 1: a general dietitian. You've got to have people who work 827 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: in weight and hormones to clearly understand what's going on 828 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: and why you would prescribe something. So for me, if 829 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: you're on sex sender and it's not working and you 830 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: don't overeat, it's just purely the wrong drug for you 831 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: and you're absolutely wasting your mind. All right, Leanne, Well, 832 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: there you go. That brings us to the end of 833 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: the nutitionan couch. We were really hoping that Tilly wouldn't 834 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,919 Speaker 1: wake up, and she's been very good thanks to Eels. 835 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 3: She laid down again back asleep past she stood up 836 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 3: before we started recording and I said to me and 837 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 3: can't you just leave her there? So we did. I'm 838 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 3: a very good mother. So we've made it through. So 839 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 3: thanks to us. 840 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 1: We're very excited because our retreat that we've just launched, 841 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: I think we've we sold. 842 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 2: Out, not quite. We certainly had a very large weightlist, 843 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 2: but we're just waiting for our ladies to pay our deposits. 844 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 2: So we basically we basically have sold out. But if 845 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 2: anyone's is of interest, if anybody sort of changes their 846 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 2: mind or something pops up last minute and you know, 847 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 2: somebody's no longer able to calm due to say sickness 848 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 2: or something like that, we will try our best to 849 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 2: be replacing those spots. So everybody can, you know, get 850 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 2: their deposit back and then be actually, you know, we 851 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 2: sell out because we do want to, you know, we 852 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 2: want a jam packed weekend, so we will have a waitlist. 853 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: So we've got a location in Kingsliff in northern New 854 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: South Wales in October this year, which is very exciting. 855 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 2: Twenty fifth, sixth and seventh of October last weekkend. 856 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: Beautiful and we will do more, so if you're interested. 857 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 3: This one's been really popular. 858 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: We're very excited to meet a group of twenty of 859 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: our listeners, but if you're interested in more, let us 860 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: know because we quite possibly will repeat it or do 861 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: another one early next year.
