1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: How healthy do you think you are? Are you pretty 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: healthy or is it pretty poor? On today's episode of 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 1: The Nutrition Couch, we look at some new data which 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: shows that most of us think our diet is a 5 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: whole lot healthier than it actually is, and Susie and 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: I discuss the key aspects of your diet that really 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: decides if it's actually healthy. Hi, I'm Leanne Waud and 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: I'm Sidney Burrow and as two of them strays leading dieticians, 9 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: we bring you The Nutrition Couch, a bi weekly chat 10 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: that covers everything in the world of nutritions.

We had to 65 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: have a website, so we're at the I think the 66 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: website is just the nutritioncouch dot com.

You can just purchase a 73 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: recording of that, so that is absolutely an option and 74 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: just send us a DM on Instagram if you're interested 75 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: in that option, so that we know all right, Susie. 76 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: So this week I found a really interesting research paper. 77 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: So it was published in the American Society for Nutrition, 78 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: and it basically was stating that eighty percent of people 79 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: think that their diet is healthier than it actually is, 80 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: which I thought was, you know, quite interesting. But I 81 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: think as dietitians we know that one of the first 82 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: things I've taught at UNI is people will always overestimate 83 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: what they're doing in terms of exercise and underestimate what 84 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: they're doing in terms of nutrition. So we're all eating 85 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: more than we actually think we are, and we're all 86 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: moving less than we actually think we are. And for 87 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: the majority of us, we actually think that our diet 88 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: is a hell of a lot healthier than it actually is. 89 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: And Susie, I think you and me both experiences with 90 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: our clients where routinely they say to us, you know, 91 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: I thought I was eating healthy before I met your 92 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: thought I ate enough vegetables, or you know, I thought 93 00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: I was doing the right thing. And then I met you, 94 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: I worked with you, and oh wow, like you've changed 95 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: my life. So I really do think as dieticians, like 96 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: we make such a big impact in people's lives, don't we? 97 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: We do. 98 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: And I think it's funny because just before we hopped 99 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: on tonight, I was showing here some of my clients 100 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: images of foods that come through because on the whole, 101 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 2: I think most people I would speak to as clients 102 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 2: or in general would describe their diet as pretty healthy, 103 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: you know, and then when we take a look at it, 104 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: I wouldn't necessarily describe it the same way. So I 105 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: think that as soon as we throw in a bit 106 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: of vegetables and not buying fast food every day. We 107 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: think it's healthy, but you know, the balance of health 108 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: isn't just about avoiding the bad stuff. It really is 109 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 2: making sure we have got the bulk of good stuff 110 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: that we need. And so when I saw these results, 111 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: it didn't surprise me because I think most people would 112 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 2: think their diet's pretty healthy, but when you and I 113 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 2: would have a look at it with a fine tooth comb, 114 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 2: we would really change things around. So I'll give you 115 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 2: just an example of a client who just came through 116 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: to me tonight. She'd taken a photo, which is really 117 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: telling because some people can describe what they're eating, but 118 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: it's not until you really see it. And she had 119 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: sent me it was a photo of like a burrito 120 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 2: bowl that she had bought for lunch in a food court. Now, indeed, 121 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: a burrito bowl is one of the healthier options in 122 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: a food court, but let's be also honest that most 123 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 2: of the choices in a food court are pretty dodge 124 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: so when you're say healthier, it's not necessarily pure health. 125 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 2: And in this burrito bowl, there was rice, there was 126 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: like quite a lot of corn, there was avocado, and 127 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: there was like fried tortilla chips on the top. So 128 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: I was asking just a few questions about it because 129 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: she had thought or was trying to make a really 130 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 2: healthy choice. But when I broke it down, I said, look, 131 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: it's obviously better than a fast food meal deal. But 132 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's got multiple sources 133 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: of carbohydrate coming from a lot of brown rice, a 134 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: lot of beans, and a lot of corn through it, 135 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: plus fried chips, so it's not just some corn chips, 136 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: it's deep fried corn chips. And then really there's not 137 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 2: any protein there. So if I was rating get out 138 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: of ten for health, I'd probably only give it about 139 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: a six, you know, because really I would want there 140 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 2: to be some lean protein. I would want less fat. 141 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: I wouldn't want fried chips and avocado and cheat. You know, 142 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 2: these are the kind of balances that you and I 143 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: are working on every single day. So it's about making 144 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: sure you know of what your perception of health is 145 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 2: actually what we would define as healthy. But on top 146 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: of that leanne it's about assuming or knowing that most 147 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: Australians don't tick the box on basic things, so fewer 148 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: than one in ten Australians get enough vegetables each day. 149 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: Very few Australians get any legumes in their diet. Very 150 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: few Australians get the recommended intake of whole grains each day, 151 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: and yet our fat intake is through the roof, as 152 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: is our sugar intake. We know that added sugars are 153 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 2: recommended to be less than twenty five grams or about 154 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 2: six tea spoons per day, and you know the numbers 155 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: on that are people have you know, double three times 156 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: that because they have a lot of indulgent. So even 157 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: though they might perceive themselves eating quite well each day, 158 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 2: then they back it up with plenty of alcohol in 159 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 2: the night, plenty of sweet treats, the banana bread, the muffins, 160 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 2: reward based eating which we've spoken about many times. And 161 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 2: so even if your baseline diet is healthy, as soon 162 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 2: as you take into account all the extras that are 163 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: slipping in, you have to lose points for that. And 164 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: that's why we have a perception versus the reality is 165 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: that not to be healthy, it's not only about avoiding 166 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: the bad, it's also ticking the box on the good. 167 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's really really fascinating area of 168 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: research to really take a look at what's going on, 169 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: because of course what becomes common is the norm, so 170 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: people perceive that, whereas it's so different to ideally, you know, 171 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: how we should be eating. You know, I think the 172 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: thing that also astounds me on a daily basis is 173 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: how much people do eat, especially considering they're sitting down 174 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: a lot of the time. And I sort of look 175 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: and I think, God, I would eat half of that volume, 176 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 2: you know, considering So it's also programming effect that we 177 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: also get used to eating way too much for our 178 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: body and we're eating, say to be eighty kilos or 179 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: one hundred kilos eating up as opposed to if you 180 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: supposed to be sixty or seventy kilos eating for that 181 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: body weight. And that's generally a lot less food overall. 182 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: But actually said, it's ticking the boxes on all the 183 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: good things as well. Like I can't tell you, sou 184 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: see how many of my clients, before they start working, 185 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: we obviously don't even eat the recommended amounts of oily 186 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: fish each week. You know, we know how important things 187 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: like salmon and oily fish are for just our general house. 188 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 2: I can't tell you how many clients don't eat the 189 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: recommended amounts of legumes each week or nuts each week. 190 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 2: We're just we're not doing the helpful thing. Sure, we're 191 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 2: adding a bit of salad to our wrap, or might 192 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 2: be having a salad for lunch when we're having a 193 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: surf fry for dinner, but it's the same thing. 194 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: Again and again and again. So we're just not getting 195 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: that diversity in and things like legumes and vegetarian based 196 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: meals and oily fish. It's the things that we're really like, 197 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: those ones that we have the good quality research behind 198 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: them to know how important those things are, and we're 199 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: just not doing them. And I think for most of 200 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: us because it's easy, I think, and because you know, 201 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: we find a meal that it's healthy and it's yummy, 202 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: we eat the same thing. We eat the same overnight 203 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: os for breakfast every day, we have the same salad 204 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: or wrap for lunch every day. We have the same 205 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: stur fry or grilled pro routine with two or three 206 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: veggies for dinner every night. There's just no diversity in there. 207 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: And to get in all our required vitamins and minerals 208 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: and antioxidants and phytochemicals, all of that good stuff in 209 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: our diet that we know is important for good health 210 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: that requires diversity. We simply can't eat the same thing 211 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: every day or even multiple times every week because we're 212 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: just not going to get in that diversity. So I 213 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: think for most of us that's, you know, we're not 214 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: doing too bad of an effort, but we're certainly nowhere 215 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: near a gold standard in terms of health or nutritious 216 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: quality diet. And I think for a lot of us, 217 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: if you think your diet's pretty good and you don't 218 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: really know where else you could go wrong, I think 219 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: what else you could do to kind of clean it up. 220 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: I think actually touching base with a dietitian and seeing 221 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: a dietitian for an overall food analysis for yourself and 222 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: your family is actually a really great idea because when 223 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: you look at this study, Suzi, I mean, eighty percent 224 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: of people thought their diet was better than it actually was. 225 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: That's a big number. And they actually interviewed nine seven 226 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: hundred people, so about eighty five percent of eight thousand 227 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: people out of nine thousand, seven hundred thought that their 228 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: diet was actually better than it was. And the funniest 229 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: thing was the people who accurately assess their diet was 230 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: the ones who basically reported that their diet was crap. 231 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: What So ninety nine percent of people who thought their 232 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: diet was pretty grappy, it was actually pretty grappy. But 233 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: eighty five percent of people who thought the diet was 234 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,599 Speaker 1: pretty good, it was nowhere near ticking the boxes and 235 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: what good quality health actually meant. So I think this 236 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: was quite an interesting study suites in sort of a 237 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: good push that we could really give our fellow colleagues 238 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: and dieticians out there for people to really touch base 239 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: and know what actually encompasses good health because there's so 240 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: much misinformation online and so many confusing messages out there. 241 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: If you don't know what you're doing, if you're not 242 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: following qualified experts, you're just not going to really get 243 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: that quality, you know, nutritious food into your diet each week. 244 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think to sort of leave our listeners 245 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: with a bit of a checklist. I think we always 246 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 2: do well over tests and checklists, so you know, let's 247 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: just put together a handful of our kind of chips 248 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 2: for how to identify if your diets healthy straight away. 249 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: I would want seven to ten serves of fresh fruit 250 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 2: and mostly vegetables per day, so at least a couple 251 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 2: of bits of fruit and sort of two three cups 252 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: of salad or veg twice a day. That would be 253 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: absolutely on my list. 254 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,119 Speaker 1: Whole greens, legumes, what else. 255 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 2: Yann, I would want like you describe oily fish two 256 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: three times a week, minimum. 257 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: Two three serves of dairy a day. We would want. 258 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 2: Minimum saturated fat, so lean dairy, lean meat, and sort 259 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: of limiting. I would actually put limiting high fat fried 260 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: food to it most once a week. 261 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. 262 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: So take away uber eats, chocolate cakes, banana bread. 263 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: Limiting alcohol as well. 264 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 2: Pub food, you know, once a week, like most people 265 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: would have that three or four times easy, absolutely, Yeah, alcohol, 266 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: you know, keeping the alcohol in the recommended limit. We 267 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: want a couple of serves of dairy for calcium, yeah, 268 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: we'd want whole grains. We'd want all the carbohydrates to 269 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 2: be whole grain based, you know. And we'd want to 270 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: be reaching thirty grams of dietary fiber each day, which 271 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: would be two fruits, veggies, and whole grain bread or 272 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 2: cereal as a starting point. 273 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: We want a couple of vegetarian or plant based meals, 274 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: particularly with a whole of whole focus on legumes as well. 275 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: Legumes are so incredibly important for health and really budget 276 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: friendly people just don't use them anywhere near as much 277 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: as what they should. 278 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 2: And they're you know, closely associated with healthy lifestyle patterns 279 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 2: in the Mediterranean and the low blood pressure dash dietary approach. Oh, 280 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: I know, less than twenty five grams of added sugars 281 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 2: per day would be a must, and less than two 282 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: thousand milligrams of sodium. 283 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: And the good quality serves of healthy fats. You know, 284 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: are you having a good table spoit of extraversion olive oil, 285 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty grams of you know, unsalted nuts 286 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: every day? Are you having a good serve of avocado? 287 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: The good quality healthy fats that we know are actually 288 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: good for us, unlike a lot of people are having 289 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: coconut oil or they're having full fat dairy. Yes, that's fat, 290 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: but it's not giving us the positive health benefits that 291 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: we know the research shows us in things like salmon 292 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: and avocado and extraversion olive oil and nuts and seeds. 293 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: And if you're not someone who likes salmon or fish, 294 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: are you replacing that amiga? You know, those amigas with 295 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: something like a plant based alternative like some cheer seeds 296 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: or flax seeds, because that you know, it's the basis 297 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: of a good quality diet. Those healthy fats are so important. 298 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 2: So as a starting point, there's a few things to 299 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 2: work on and check in your own diet. And I guarantee, 300 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 2: you know, if we even reflect, like I'm just thinking 301 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 2: today what I've had, you know, not every day would 302 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: I reach those targets either, just because we're busy and 303 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: things take over. So it's a good little thing, and 304 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 2: we might pop that up as a bit of a 305 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 2: checklist actually on our Nutrition Couch podcast Instagram for you 306 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 2: to go back to and have a read through. Because 307 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: I think that the more easy little tips we can 308 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 2: get to make dietary changes, the better. And if you 309 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 2: know you've got those targets that are clear, it can 310 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: be a lot easier to make positive progress with your diet. 311 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: All right, Well, this week moving on to our case study. 312 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: This does come up a lot. Actually, I find when 313 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 2: people have either a history of dieting or have started 314 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 2: a really new dietary regime and that may be feeling 315 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: a bit clogged up and constipated. Now, indeed, you would 316 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 2: perhaps think that if your diet was healthier. In theory, 317 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 2: your digestive system would actually be working better. But there's 318 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: a few reasonsly and that even though you're eating healthier, 319 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 2: you may find the effects of constipation. Now you'll have 320 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 2: a lot to add to this because it's a little 321 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 2: bit this is your area of interest, a bit more 322 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: than mine. But I'll just kick off by what I 323 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: observe with my clients. So if I've got clients who 324 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 2: are eating a lot of food on a day to 325 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: day basis and suddenly say they're eating two thousand, two, 326 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 2: five hundred calories per day, So what does that look like? 327 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: So a two thousand calorie day is you know a woman, 328 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: You know, it could be five or six hundred calories 329 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: more than a small female actually needs. So you know, 330 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 2: that could be as simple as having a coffee in 331 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 2: the morning and some sort of muffin or cake, even 332 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: turkish toast or sour dough toast with veggiemite, and then 333 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: having a snack in the morning, so grabbing another coffee, 334 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: for example, with milk, and then for lunch, buying your 335 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: lunch away from the home. You might have gone to 336 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 2: the food court and had a burrito bowl or something 337 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 2: like a big sandwich from a food court would be 338 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: six eight hundred calories, and then in the afternoon you've 339 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: backed it up with some more snacks, so you might 340 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 2: have some rice crackers, you might have some hummus, you 341 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 2: might munch through the afternoon, and then you have a 342 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: dinner that's appearingly healthy as we've just discussed, but it 343 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: might have a big piece of meat, some mashed potato, 344 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: some sweet potato chips, bitter peas, and then you've given 345 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: yourself a trade at night. Now that is easily over 346 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: a two thousand calorie day, and when we take a 347 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: deep dive, it's quite off track in terms of the 348 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 2: amount of carbohydrate and protein we would want, and certainly 349 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 2: more calories than the average person requires. Four fat loss 350 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 2: or even weight maintenance. That's absolutely what many people would 351 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: find is a weight gain program. Now, that is also 352 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: a large amount of food going through the digestive system. 353 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 2: So if I then have a client who comes and 354 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: they go to a much lower calorie regime with a 355 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 2: lot less volume, it can absolutely result in them becoming 356 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 2: a little bit constipated. And if they're cutting out some 357 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: fruit to reduce their carbohydrate load as well, and perhaps 358 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: relying more on salad than cooked vegetables. All of a 359 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 2: sudden and we've started to really play with the types 360 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 2: of dietary fiber that are going through their gush, and hence, 361 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 2: if they've got more sensitive tummy, they may find that 362 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 2: it makes them constipated and it does pop up relative 363 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 2: very frequently. So one of the areas I work on 364 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 2: with my clients first of all, is making sure they've 365 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: got good quality dietary fiber. So that's a matter of 366 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 2: having both cooked vegetables as well as salad because you 367 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: get quite different kinds of fiber from that, and then 368 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 2: also the soluble fiber, because if you're not a cereal 369 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: eater and then you cut out most of your fruits, 370 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 2: your soluble fiber intake and that's the type of fiber 371 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 2: that really helps to move food through the digestive system 372 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 2: can be significantly reduced. And it's the same if you've 373 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 2: cut bread out and you're not getting a wheat fiber 374 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: going through your gush. So there are few things that 375 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 2: I look at. I love all brown I always have. 376 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 2: I find it's fantastic for digestive health for my ladies 377 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 2: perhaps who are on a very low calorie maybe thousand 378 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 2: calorie plan, working with their ozen peak or doing mil 379 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 2: replacements for a period of time to kick starf weight loss. Absolutely, 380 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 2: I rely quite heavily on our brand as a sort 381 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 2: of really good quality fiber source to get their tummy going. 382 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 2: But like everything they end, everyone's different, and it's a 383 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 2: matter sometimes of finding what your personal gut like. And 384 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: some people find things like prunes or dates is an 385 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 2: addition or an apple is what they need. So it's 386 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 2: a matter of sort of working out what your gut's 387 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 2: looking for and ticking that box to get it going. 388 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 2: So you go into the bathroom regularly. 389 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And I think that that's something a lot of 390 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: people don't think about. They think, oh, I'm trying to 391 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: lose weight. I'm eating a lot better, you know why, 392 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: am I so blocked up? But the less you eat, 393 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: the less fiber is going in overall as well, So 394 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: often just that bulk of food reduces. So people do 395 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: really struggle with constipation. So when we think about constipation, Suzi, 396 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: we want three things. We want fiber, we want fluid, 397 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: We want physical activity. We need to move because the 398 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: digestive system likes movement. The more we move the more 399 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: regularly things sort of you know, pulsate through and move through. 400 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: And same with fiber. We can't up the fiber in 401 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: our diet without also upping a fluid because we're going 402 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: to make things ten times worth, so more fiber needs 403 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: more fluid. And also think that, as you said, if 404 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: we're doing things like into inflasting and we're dropping out breakfast, 405 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: there's so much good quality fiber from things like oatmeal 406 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: and all brand and fruit and cheer seeds and things 407 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: like overnight ohs. They're even like a big smoothie with 408 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: some fruit and veggies you know, blended in That also 409 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: gives us a good whack of fiber in the morning. 410 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: So if we're doing something like into inflasting for fat loss, yes, 411 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: sure it might work for some people, but we're probably 412 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: dropping out easily eight, ten, twelve grams of fiber in 413 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: the morning, and if we're not picking that up somewhere 414 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: else in the day, we're very likely going to feel sluggish. 415 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: So from a food based perspective, there's a lot of 416 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: things we can do in terms of constipation. We definitely 417 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: want to move more, We definitely want to have a 418 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: regular fluid intake throughout the day. Water is important, absolutely, 419 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: but all types of fluid County coffee, it might be 420 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of a homemade you know, beechroot juice 421 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: or something like that. That all counts in terms of 422 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: getting things moving through properly with an adequate amount of fiber. 423 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: And I'm going to add two more points here, Susie, 424 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: just the fact that you can't hold on, like if 425 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: you need to go to the bathroom, it's really important 426 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: that you go to the bathroom. This is super important 427 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: for children as well, particularly really young kids. If they're 428 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: holding on, it's just going to make constipation far far worse. 429 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: And also the positioning of how you go to the 430 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: bathroom matters as well. So I'm not a pelvic house physio. 431 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: I'm not pretending that I am, but I have done 432 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: a lot of work with them in the past when 433 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: I used to work at the hospital in the gut 434 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: health clinics, and I do know that the positioning of 435 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: how you go to the bathroom absolutely matters. And using 436 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: something we used to call them like a poo stool, 437 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: so you can actually elevate your foot and put your 438 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: knees a bit higher than where your pelvis is that 439 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: position can absolutely help with people who have difficulties actually 440 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: going to the bathroom. So actually using a little stool, 441 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: popping your feet up, leaning forward, putting your elbows on 442 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: your knees, that positioning can make go into the bathroom 443 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: a lot better as well. And also just giving you 444 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: a belly a bit of a massage if you feel 445 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: like this is making horrible faces at me, if you 446 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: feel like you're. 447 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 2: Quite quite asation, I wasn't a gastrodietesian. This is a 448 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 2: lot for me. 449 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: If you feel a bit blocked up, give you a 450 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: belly a good massage as well, That absolutely helps. And 451 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: use a copy first thing in the morning, and just 452 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: sit for ten to fifteen minutes. Sometimes the body gets 453 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: a bit of stage right. So if you feel like 454 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: you're someone who's always rushing around, you're rushing to the office, 455 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: You're probably not gonna want to go to the bathroom. 456 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: Want you at the office. Give yourself time, get up 457 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: ten fifteen minutes early, have a lovely coffee piece and 458 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: quiet sit for fifteen minutes on the toilet, use a 459 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: bit of a poostool, elevate your feet, and I promise 460 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: you you'll you know, you'll get gold stars all around. 461 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 2: Oh, this is just reminding men. It's late in the evening, 462 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: so I maybe have lost a little bit of my 463 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 2: decorum to say this, but just as an offside, like 464 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, Like, if I need to 465 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 2: go to the bathroom in general, I go in the bathroom, 466 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 2: I do my business something out right. What is it 467 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 2: with the husbands who spend like half an hour? Like 468 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 2: literally they're just taking a moment out of life, aren't they. 469 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 2: I can't physically take them that long. Is there something 470 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 2: physiological I'm missing that requires them to sit for so long? 471 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: I just think it's the time for them to they 472 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 2: just sit there. I don't think they need that long 473 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 2: to day. 474 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: I think they hide in that. Yeah, they hide in 475 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: they're playing on their phone. 476 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 2: No, it is for sure, Like I just don't understand it, 477 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 2: like even my little boys, Like it is not a 478 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 2: quick job, you know what I mean? Like what is 479 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 2: going on with that? Like that is just a whole 480 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 2: other topic for I don't understand at all. 481 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: Anyway, Listeners, we hope that those tips were helpful those 482 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: in terms of going to the bathroom a little bit more. Yes, 483 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: it's about the food that we put in our mouth, yes, 484 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: fiber accounts, but things like the fluid, the fiscale activity, 485 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: the actual you know, the positioning of how you go 486 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: to the bathroom, that all matters as well. It's a 487 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: little bit more food for thought for our bellies and 488 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: our bows today. Susie. 489 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 2: Well, I also think it's really relevantly and because the 490 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 2: weather has been so shocking in general, is that a 491 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 2: lot of us are moving a whole lot less and 492 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 2: that has a profound effect on blood flow around the 493 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: body and our digestive system. So if you've had a 494 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 2: day at work where you've literally not moved and I 495 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 2: think you told me this previously, to tight kind of outfits, 496 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 2: like tight work outfits like stockings for women, where you're 497 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 2: all so congested and not moving, well, that's not going 498 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 2: to be conducive to go into the bathroom regularly either. 499 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 2: So if you are particularly sensitive and find that you 500 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 2: do get clogged out, making sure that you're moving regularly 501 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 2: throughout the days are really important part of that. And 502 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 2: just sipping water too, because it is winter and a 503 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: lot of us are drinking a whole lot less fluid. 504 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 2: So all of those factors are really really important, particularly 505 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 2: if you are someone with a more sensitive Tommy. 506 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, really good points, really good points. And then Susie 507 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: for our final segment, it's the show, we had a 508 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: listener question, who I think there's something that a lot 509 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: of our listeners struggles. We get asked this question a lot, 510 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: and I can't remember if we've actually covered on the 511 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,959 Speaker 1: show before, but it's really talking about after dinner eating 512 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: and how can we make sure that we're not over 513 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: eating after dinner. So listener was basically asking, is after 514 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: dinner eating okay? And how do we make sure that 515 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: we're not overeating? So this is probably more your specialty areas, Susie, 516 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna flick to you because I'm not a 517 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: big fan of letting my clients actually eat after dinner, 518 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: because for most parts we've had a meal, we're full. 519 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: I just feel like it promotes more of that habit 520 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: type eating where the more they eat, the more they want, 521 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: the more bad habits develop, and then they're just constantly 522 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: grazing and snacking all day long. So I'm more of 523 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: a fan of letting my clients have their soul foods, 524 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: like in the afternoon or you know, on Sunday afternoon, 525 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: go get an ice cream with the family versus sitting 526 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: on the couch and snack all night long. So I'm 527 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,479 Speaker 1: not the biggest fan of after dinner eating, but I 528 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,479 Speaker 1: know that you like to program in, you know, specific 529 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: types of treats for your clients that way, don't you. 530 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 2: I do within reason. I think first of all, you 531 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 2: certainly want that extended period of time over night without food, 532 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 2: at least ten we've spoken several times, ideally twelve hours 533 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 2: without food overnight, So that means if you're not eating 534 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 2: your dinner until eight or nine at night, really it 535 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 2: doesn't leave any room for anything after that final meal. 536 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 2: So that's the first thing. The second thing is I 537 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 2: think that it comes down to a little bit about 538 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 2: knowing yourself and your habits and also what brings you 539 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 2: enjoyment or something you've made a conscious decision to do, 540 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 2: and if that is something that you like to sit 541 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 2: down at the end of a night with a bit 542 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 2: of a sweet item or a glass of wine or 543 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 2: even some cheese. I think that the key thing is 544 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 2: that you then need to make sure the dinner is 545 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 2: a lot lot lighter, So a small dinner for a 546 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 2: small female, considering you've probably had three or four even 547 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 2: other meals through the day. A small meal needs to 548 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 2: be roughly three four hundred calories. So in food terms, 549 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 2: it's not much lean, is it. It's you know, one 550 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 2: hundred and one hundred and fifty gram slean protein. You know, 551 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 2: maybe a bit of carbohydrates and potato, sweet potato, and 552 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 2: then your veggies and that's it. That's a three four 553 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 2: hundred calorie meal. If you're then adding a glass of wine, 554 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 2: it's going to be an extra hundred or two hundred calories. 555 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: And then if you're going to have a sweet dessert, 556 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 2: it's probably at least one hundred if not more. You know, 557 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: the average serve of chocolate people are having is probably 558 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 2: more like two three hundred calories. So my message would be, 559 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: if you know that you are going to snack after dinner, 560 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 2: and you also know that or want weight loss is 561 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 2: your goal, and you would say that you're working on that, 562 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 2: the dinner has to be smaller. You don't get to 563 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 2: have it all. So it's a conscious decision about how 564 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 2: you eat. And one strategy that I do find can 565 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 2: work with people who do enjoy that ritual of having 566 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 2: something after dinner is sort of allocating different nights through 567 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 2: the week. So, for example, accepted on the week you're 568 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 2: going to indulge a bit and be out for dinner, 569 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 2: take away, whatever. That then means that you need to 570 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 2: have a couple of really light meals in the week 571 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 2: to buffer it, because you're overdoing it sometimes, so things 572 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 2: like a soup, a vegetable based meal like a ratachui. 573 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 2: We're not encouraging starvation. Always saying is it won't hurt 574 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 2: you to have a couple of light meals each week, 575 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 2: a cauliflower rice rosotto for example, a plain vegetable stir fry. 576 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 2: And so then if you do want to have a 577 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 2: portion control snack after dinner with a set volume. So 578 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: I think portion control is really important, you've at least 579 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 2: had this small dinner to buffer it. So I think 580 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 2: the thing with late night eating is that it becomes 581 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 2: a habit and you start with some one thing and 582 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 2: then you eat three or four times that over time. 583 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 2: So I think the key is to be very clear 584 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 2: on what the allocation is, making sure that you're having 585 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 2: something that you enjoy and you're savoring, and you know, 586 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 2: be mindful that if you are someone who eats again 587 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 2: after dinner that you've got to make sure the dinner 588 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 2: is a little bit lighter, and really look at the portions. 589 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 2: And sometimes as a reference point, when I look at 590 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 2: the portions of dinners that are coming through, they're often double, 591 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: and they're double because the portions of salmon and steak 592 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 2: are you too closer to one fifty two hundred grams 593 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 2: per serve as opposed to the small piece that's one hundred. 594 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, you've got those spare 595 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 2: calories to have if you want to have the wine 596 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 2: or the dessert item. But certainly anything that's in a 597 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 2: packete tubs of ice cream, packets of biscuits, multi packs 598 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 2: of chocolates, blocks of chocolate are a recipe for disaster 599 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 2: because the behavioral research will show if the portions are 600 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 2: in the house, you will keep eating. So you have 601 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 2: to become really good at saying, right, I'm just having 602 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 2: that one individual frozen yogurt, or I'm just having that 603 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 2: one portion of dark chocolate, and that is it. But 604 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 2: I also do also need to compensate and make sure 605 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 2: my dinner is small than light. And the place we 606 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 2: go wrong there, Leanne is very few people have those 607 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 2: two to three cups of salad or vegetable with their 608 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 2: dinner to bock it up, and as soon as you 609 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 2: put that in ney, you're fuller, and then you don't 610 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 2: have crave as much in general, and so your calories 611 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 2: are controlled and you are able to control the treat portion. 612 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 2: So there are a few little strategies for it. But 613 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 2: absolutely if you're someone who does overdo it later in 614 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 2: the week, you've got to have a few light meals 615 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: each week to buffer that over consumption. 616 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: Or if you're someone that just overdoes it every night, 617 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: like you said yourself, I'm just gonna have a little 618 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: bit of chocolate. I'll just have a couple of potato chips, 619 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: and before you know, halfs of blocks corn or the 620 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: whole bag of potato chips is demolished. Don't do it, 621 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: just stop eating after dinner, Like there's no there's no 622 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: physical need for most people to eat after dinner because 623 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: they're not hungry. You've just had a full meal, you're 624 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: not actually hungry. So it's more of I think for 625 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: a lot of us, we're eating it as a treat 626 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: or as a reward, or the kids have gone to bed, 627 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: so we want to treat ourselves those things are absolutely okay, 628 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: But we just don't want to use food every single time. 629 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 1: So sure, a couple of times a week we can 630 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: pour a glass of wine, we can have a small 631 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: amount of chocolate, but it can't be our only coping 632 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: strategy every single night. As a I deserve this as 633 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: a reward because I survived the day with my kids, 634 00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: or I had a terrible day at work, I'm gonna 635 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: pull myself a glass of wine, then another glass, and 636 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 1: another glass. So I think it really just comes down 637 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: to the frequency and how you feel afterwards. Like if 638 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: you're eating after dinner and you have a little bit 639 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: of something and you feel fabulous, and you go to 640 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: bed and life's good, fabulous, continue on with it. But 641 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: if you're eating after dinner and every single night you 642 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: disappoint yourself and you overeat and you think, oh my god, 643 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: what have I done. I'm so embarrassed, I'm so ashamed, 644 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: I feel so guilty. This feels that crap. Don't do 645 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: it because we want to eat to feel great about ourselves. 646 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: And I think that's the most important thing is what 647 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: we eat. We should feel good afterwards. If it's making 648 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: us feel bad, if it's making us feel guilty. If 649 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: it's making us feel crappy, that's not a great way 650 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: to feel. So we're obviously not doing behaviors that are 651 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: actually serving us or taking as closer to our goals. 652 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: So to slash yourself, Well, eating after dinner actually make 653 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: me feel great. And sure you might actually be hungry, 654 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: you might have not had enough food throughout the day, 655 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: you might have had a super busy day and you 656 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: skip lunch, so of course you need dinner and then 657 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: a snack after dinner. That's absolutely okay if that then 658 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: makes you feel great, perfect, But if it makes you 659 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: feel bad, that's when I would take a step back 660 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: and just reassess and think why am I actually eating 661 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: after dinner? And why does this actually make me feel 662 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: bad or crappy? And then you know, reassess the situation. 663 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: So that's my two cents, Susie. I don't think there's 664 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: a right or wrong, but I really do think it's 665 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: about how it makes us feel and do we actually 666 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: need to be doing it. Is it a physical hunger 667 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: or is it more of a what I call a 668 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: head hunger where we're just driven to eat because we 669 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: want something delicious or we want something because we've had 670 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: a bad day. 671 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 2: I don't disagree, but I think that the challenge is 672 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 2: that when we're tired and our self control is low 673 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: in the evening, that the biggest predictor of future behavior 674 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 2: is past behavior. So if you've had a lifetime of 675 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 2: over eating after dinner, it's going to be hard just 676 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: to stop. So another little trick that could work quite well, 677 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 2: and I certainly employ this with clients of mine who 678 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 2: are starting perhaps a five hundred cow day occasionally, is 679 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 2: that I try and get them to do it with 680 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 2: someone else, Because when you're trying to break the back 681 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 2: off a habit with someone else, whether it's someone that 682 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 2: you're living with, a good friend, it's easier if you're 683 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 2: kind of a team. So you might get to, say 684 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 2: eight o'clock and you really want some chocolate. If you're 685 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 2: on your own and there's chocolate in the house, you're 686 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 2: more likely to come. Or if you've got your buddy 687 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 2: you're going to and that you have to call and 688 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 2: say talk to them before you do it, you'll get 689 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: distracted and it's more likely to break the craving. So 690 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 2: I think if you know that you've got a really 691 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 2: bad habit, when it comes to overeating at night, sometimes 692 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 2: teaming up with someone that you can power through that 693 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 2: habit change together is likely to be more successful because 694 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 2: just telling people to stop it's not that easy for 695 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 2: most of us, particularly when we're tired, emotional, whatever it 696 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 2: is late at night. So I think, yeah, maybe doing 697 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 2: it with someone else can be a strong way to 698 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 2: try and kick the back off the habit. And ideally 699 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 2: we'll try and do something else instead, but let's be honestly, 700 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 2: and it's winter so we're stuck at home watching TV. 701 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: The association is pretty strong. So you know, whether if 702 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 2: you're someone who has to go cold turkey to achieve 703 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 2: that goal, just try and find someone else to do 704 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 2: it with, or if you can hedge your bets and 705 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 2: learn to control it and not overdo it, that's another 706 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 2: little way that might get you through too. 707 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: Definitely, I like the accountability option that if you've given 708 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: our listeners at home. I think that's really powerful, right, Suzie. Well, 709 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: that brings us to the end of the Nutrition Couch 710 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: for another Sunday, And if you guys haven't done so already, 711 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: we would absolutely love if you could subscribe to the podcast. 712 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: You will be automatically delivered into your podcast in box 713 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: every Sunday and Wednesday, so you can listen to us. 714 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: You don't even have to download it.
