As well as barbecues. We have a brand 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: new designed by dietitians product to share with you. We 12 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: have another protein rich supermarket option to review, and our 13 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: list of question is all about fussy kids. So then, 14 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: after a very long what seemed like a very long 15 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: winter with pretty crappy weather, what I've noticed with my 16 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: clients since the October long weekends and the footy finals 17 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: is that barbecue are back in full swing. 18 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: Now. 19 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: Who you wouldn't be a nusey if you didn't love 20 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: a barbecue, really would you like? It's synonymous with summer 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: and just life in Australia in general, and you know 22 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: there's something incredibly simple, particularly if you're used to having 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: to cook in the kitchen, to just hand over the 24 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: protein to someone else and take care of a few salads. 25 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: And everyone likes generally something in a barbecue. But I 26 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: thought to myself, we haven't I don't think spoken about them. 27 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: And I've had a couple of examples come through with 28 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: my client's food diaries in the last few weeks, where 29 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: the barbecue, even though on the surface it might look healthy, 30 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: it is far from it because inevitably there's fattier cuts 31 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: of meat, multiple proteins, chops, sausages, burgers, lots of carb 32 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: heavy salads so potato salads, potatoes, bread rolls, and then inevitably, 33 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: you know, there's dessert and drinks as well. So I 34 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: thought it was probably quite an opportune time to talk 35 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: about how we would manage a barbecue so that you 36 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: can still enjoy all of the lovely parts of it, 37 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, and enjoy the meats and the proteins and 38 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: all the things that you would normally have, but learn 39 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: how to cater as well for yourself so you can 40 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: keep your diet on track. Because really, you know, I 41 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: understand if people are having an occasional fast food meal 42 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: or a restaurant meal where we don't have a lot 43 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: of control, it can be tricky to keep things under wraps, 44 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: you know, calorie wise, But in the case of a barbecue, 45 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: it's actually pretty easy to make some very simple swaps 46 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: and changes and keep your diet completely on track, isn't it. 47 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: So the first thing I would say is, do not 48 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: assume that just because someone's doing protein it's healthy. Because 49 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: the way barbecues work, fattier meats tend to taste better 50 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: and cook easier. You know, whenever I hand my husband 51 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: the Dodge the leans, not Dodgy, the lean sausages, he 52 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: gets a bit annoyed because he's like, oh, these are 53 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: hard to cook, because it's easy to cook the fatty ones. 54 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: Really so in the case of chops, chicken thigh, most 55 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: burger patties, and most sausages, they're at least twenty, if 56 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: not thirty percent fat. Like if you take a good 57 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: look at the sausages in the supermarket, basically the cheaper 58 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: they are, the higher fat content will be. And most 59 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: of those meats are all pretty fatty, so easy swap 60 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: straight away. You are better to go for the ten 61 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: percent fat sausages. There's the chicken ones in woolies and coals, 62 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: as well as the peppercorn and lean beef. There's the 63 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: extra lean beef patties and the macro have a lean 64 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: chicken breast. It's less than ten percent fat. And then 65 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: in the case of chicken, you're much better to do 66 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: those chicken type kebabs or marinated kebabs, which cook quite 67 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: well because they are actually made with very lean chicken 68 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: breast or tenderloin and they're much much lower in fat. 69 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: So I will say to people, and this comes down 70 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: to the idea that you have to prepare and protect things, 71 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: because I'll say to clients, will just take your own 72 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: lean sausages, and they're kind of horrified. I'm like, well 73 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: that I would do that, you know, because if you 74 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: go to any barbecue, they're always the fatty meat. So 75 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: you know, most of us, if we're having regular social 76 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: events in the summertime, we do have to be a 77 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: bit more discerning. And I wouldn't be offended if someone 78 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: brought some lean protein. If anything, I'd be grateful because 79 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: the cost of food is high, so you know, I think, 80 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: don't be scared to do that. I think always when 81 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: you can make sure or take with you a very 82 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: leafy salad because like I said, coal slaws, commercial coalslaws, 83 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: high in fat, pasta salad, potato salad, it's so easy 84 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: to have. You know, your favorite Asian style salad. I 85 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: love a roasted veggie, one with pumpkin eggplant, and you 86 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: can even cook those veggies on the barbecue. And then 87 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: just a big leafy green with a nice cheese through it, 88 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: and everyone eats it when it's there. It's just making 89 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: sure that you take it so that you've got it 90 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: is easy. And then I would say just watch the 91 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: little extras. So things like the onions are great, the 92 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: veggies are great, but you probably don't need the garlic 93 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: bread at a barbecue. You probably don't need the soft 94 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: white bread roll. Really, you know, it tastes good, but 95 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: we can't have it all. And if you're having wine 96 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: and you're having Nibley's before the barbecue, if the goal 97 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: is to keep your diet on track, i'd be ditching 98 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: those little extras that very easy slip in just because 99 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: we have that mindset of oh well we're having a 100 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: barbecue and it's pretty healthy. 101 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, And like you said, the doubling down on the protein, 102 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: Like we all know that protein is healthy, yes, but 103 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: there's an upper limit and a lower limit, like not 104 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: enough protein isn't great for us. And then too much 105 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 2: protein also drives up the overall calorie load. So there's 106 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: a sweet spot for protein. And if you're gonna have 107 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: a sausage and a chop and a chicken kebab, do 108 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 2: you need that much? And it's all very dependent on 109 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: the person and their lifestyle their goals, but just a 110 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 2: smart question to ask. And like Susie said, you absolutely 111 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: need to either bring or get someone else to bring 112 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: a really good quality salad because when you think about it, 113 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: and I always say this to my clients, so like, oh, no, 114 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: I don't need to bring the salad. The salad to 115 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: be there. And I said, stop and have a think 116 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: for a second. What type of salad listen out for me? 117 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: And they're like parsa salad, rice salad, potato salad. I'm 118 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: like what if these all got in common? Right? And 119 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: they're like, oh, they're all carby salads. I'm like, yes, 120 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 2: is there anything wrong with that? No? But again, if 121 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: you're gonna have the bread roll, you're gonna have the 122 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 2: garlic bread, You're gonna have the parsa salad, the potato salad, 123 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: the rice salad. There's not a whole lot of free 124 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: veg in those types of salads. It might be a 125 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 2: little bit of you know, spinach through one of them, 126 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: but that's as much as you're gonna get. So even 127 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: a Greek salad goes a long way. Something with a 128 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: few non starchy vegetables in there goes a long way. 129 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: Or even roast and veggie caababs are a really good 130 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 2: one as well, So you can thread like chicken onto 131 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: the kebabs as well, do chicken and veggie kebabs, or 132 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 2: you can just do like a vegetable kebab that cooks 133 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: really really well on a barbecue as well. And then 134 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: to your point where a lot of times when we 135 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: do a barbie it is a bit of an occasion, 136 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: like it's in a celebration or it's a catch up, 137 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: So there does tend to be nibblies before there does 138 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: tend to be like a good old Aussie favorite like 139 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: a pavlova or something for a dessert. So you do 140 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: have to be a little bit careful with you know 141 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: how much you do want to indulge. My number one 142 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 2: tip when we say it a hundred times over on 143 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: the podcast, is not got a social thing starving. So 144 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: even if summer barbecue tends to be a social occasion, 145 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: don't go in starving because you will eat way more 146 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 2: on the cheeseboard than you plan to. You will need 147 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: multiple serves of protein, the big bread roll, multiple serves 148 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: of the carbi based salads, and then you probably will 149 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: have some of the dessert as well if you're genuinely hungry. 150 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: So it goes a long way to have a bit 151 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: of a protein shake or a protein yogurt, or even 152 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: just like a mini meal like a bit of toast 153 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: with avocado or something before you go, so you're not 154 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 2: going into that social situation starving. And that's not just 155 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: some of barbecues. That's dinner's out, it's parties, it's work events. 156 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 2: It's all the same throughout the summer social season. But 157 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: I think they're there. Three big ones is watch the 158 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: balance on your plate, don't go starving, and just keep 159 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: those portions in check and make sure you're bringing a 160 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: healthy dish up. There's going to be dessert offered to 161 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: bring a fruit platter, because again, if the healthy food 162 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: is there, most people will eat it. If there's going 163 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: to be a tikidary board or a cheeseboard, make sure 164 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 2: that you offer to bring all the veggie sticks in 165 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: a healthier type of dip for that cheeseboard, and that 166 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: way there's some better quality choices for you to choose 167 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: as well. 168 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: True, and I think there are on the boards. It's 169 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: easy to load up the veggies and the healthier dips. 170 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: There's quite a few of those around now that are 171 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: much lower in fat. There's also things like, you know, 172 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: use shaves of cheese rather than big chunks of it, 173 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: so you're still having the flavor, but you're not having 174 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: the big chunk of camember or bree. And I think 175 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: in the case of desserts, look for things that are 176 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: individually portion because whenever there's a cake or a pudding, 177 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: people will often serve a big slice and then there's 178 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: ice cream, Whereas if you do a bit of a 179 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: platter with many individual pavlovers or chopped it fruit, then 180 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: you can have a little taste without completely having a 181 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: whole nother meal because of that heavier type dessert. So 182 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: I think it's just, you know, go on as you 183 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: mean to proceed. If you have a barbecue once a 184 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: month and it's your big social occasion with family, go 185 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: for it. But if you're socializing regularly and having them 186 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: multiple times a week, it is really worth thinking about 187 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: how you can just have the healthy options on hand 188 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 1: that you need. And it really is not a big swap. 189 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: You're not going to feel deprived, just still having just 190 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: as many delicious meals, but you are easily swapping out 191 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: and cutting a lot of calories out by making those 192 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: swaps in there. 193 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm just add prawns. Like in summer and Australia, 194 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 2: prawns are an awesome lower calorie, higher protein thing to 195 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 2: throw on the barbecue. Are they more expensive than most 196 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: of the protein meets, Yes, but if you are happy 197 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 2: to invest in some form of seafood, it's a really 198 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 2: really great option and a much leaner option for the 199 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 2: barbecue as well. 200 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: True. All right, Leama, we've got a new baby, don't we. 201 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: We've been birth in trying to birth a baby for 202 00:08:58,960 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: quite some time. 203 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: It's been a long time coming. 204 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: It's been a long time coming. So we have finally 205 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: got our hands on the latest addition to the design 206 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: by Dietitians range, which is our hydrate range. So we 207 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: have two flavors. We have a blood orange and mango 208 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: and a lemon lime and we have been thinking about 209 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: doing this for a while. Lean in particular was very 210 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: keen since she's got a sauna and is regularly dehydrated. 211 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: And you know, I think the first thing we should say, 212 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: is Dietitians, is that for many years we would have 213 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: been towing the line and said that people don't need 214 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: to add electrolytes to their day to day intake because 215 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: you drink water and we generally have good hydration. Well, no, 216 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: that's a lie. We don't have good hdration. We are 217 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: drinking water or think we are, and we don't need 218 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: to add necessarily mineral salts to the diet. But what 219 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: we're seeing, and it's sort of an interesting area within 220 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: active populations, is whether you've got a mum who is 221 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: pregnant and has morning sickness or breastfeeding, not having a 222 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: lot of times look after ourself, or participating regularly very 223 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: high intensity training sessions so you might go get up 224 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: at the cracker door and be doing you know, big 225 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: hit sessions where you're burning four five, six hundred calories, 226 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: or you may be living somewhere very very hot coming 227 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: into summer. And what we're finding is that people are 228 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: seeking out gentle electrolyte mixes that are lower in sugar 229 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: than sports drinks to help aid their hydration. And I 230 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: can see why people are using them. Whereas as I said, 231 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: if you'd asked me twenty years ago, I would have 232 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: been like, there's no need for people to add electrolytes. 233 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: Now I find that a lot of people like them 234 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: because if they are dehydrated, they've woken up after a 235 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: big night out, or they've had a very salty meal 236 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: and they're up to train, they find that they recover 237 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: better when they add some simple electrolytes to their water. 238 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: It helps them to re establish their fluid balance, makes 239 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: them feel better very very quickly. I was at a 240 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: big thirty or not thirtieth, I wish at a big 241 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: fortieth aven in Overseas recently, and I couldn't believe that 242 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: friends of mine they're electrolytes with them. I was like, Wow, 243 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: this is a yeah. And I was like, oh, we 244 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: need to give them mouse because they can't be using 245 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: other brands. So I traditionally used hydrolyte, but now here 246 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: we go, we've got our own hydrates. So this has 247 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: primarily been your baby lean as you tell me this, 248 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: this is my idea, absolutely right, and I'm on board. 249 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: And we're really happy with our flavors now thanks to 250 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: all the people that we tried and voted on flavors 251 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: and who tasted them for us. But we're really happy 252 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: with the formulation. And they're quite a gentle mix of electrolytes, 253 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: aren't they. So it's not as intense as something like 254 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: Gatorade or power Aide. 255 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 2: It's a little bit an electrolyte, so it's technically legally 256 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 2: a hydration rate. And we did that on purpose a 257 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 2: because we wanted My biggest issue when I was saying 258 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: this is Susie my rand is with that most of 259 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: the electrolyte companies have ridiculous amounts of sodium in them. 260 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 2: And if you were running a marathon, if you are 261 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 2: out on the hot roof in summer all day long, 262 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 2: and I'll give you a perfect example. My brother's an 263 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: electrician and he's got apprentices and he doesn't get up 264 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: in the roof much, but it got really hot in 265 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: Brisbane about a week ago, and I took everyone by surprise. 266 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 2: We were wearing jumpers one minute and then it's like 267 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: thirty something degrees outside and he was up in the 268 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 2: roof and he said, he texted me and he goes, 269 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 2: I've just I was lying down on this lady's garage 270 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 2: for an hour and a half vomiting. I think I've 271 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: got heat stroke. And I said, you probably do. You've 272 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: been up in the hot roof crawling around trying to 273 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 2: put it in your electrical wires or whatever they do. 274 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 2: And I said, you need to get home. So he 275 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 2: had made his apprentice driving home. You couldn't even drive. 276 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: He was that on well, and I said, you need 277 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 2: to go and smash some hydrolight. You know, you need 278 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 2: to get in some sodiums and potassium and magnesium. And 279 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 2: that is a really common occurrence. And for about I 280 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 2: would say two years now with my training, maybe more 281 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 2: out of that postpartum period when I stepped up my 282 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 2: training a level. On a Monday and Thursday, I'll typically 283 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: do more of a conditioning session. So whether that's more 284 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 2: like a CrossFit Star class, it's a hard class. My 285 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 2: heart rates one eighty one ninety. There's not a whole 286 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 2: lot of a break. It's about thirty to forty minutes 287 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: of training and I'm gassed afterwards. I feel fine in 288 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: that workout, fine for about an hour afterwards, and I 289 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 2: would just drink water. It's all would drink. I'd come 290 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: home and have a breakfast, and then I'd come home 291 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: and I'd have a coffee. And then about an hour 292 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: or so after I finished that class, I would have 293 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 2: this raging, like frontal lobe headache. I could netglate rid 294 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: of all day. Nothing, no panadol, no like neck massage, 295 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: nothing can get rid of this headache. And then one 296 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: day it clicked and I was like, I need some electrolytes, 297 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 2: Like I'm not getting I'm sweating it all out and 298 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: water is not enough. So again I think, does the 299 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 2: average person need an electrolyte? No, do we own a 300 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 2: supplement company. Yes, We're not going to tell you that 301 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 2: you need something that you don't need. But there is 302 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 2: a special group of people, like Susie said, who now 303 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: are using things like hydration ranges. And our biggest issue 304 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 2: with electrolyte ranges is the massive amounts of sodium that 305 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: they have in them. Some of these brands have six hundred, 306 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: one thy twelve hundred milligrams of sodium in the range. 307 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 2: It is way too much. Most standard people get more 308 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: than enough sodium. If you have an office job, if 309 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 2: you don't really exercise, you don't really need electrolytes. There's 310 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 2: this whole thing online where it's like water is not enough, 311 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: water dehydrates you. It's not actually true. But if you 312 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: are active, if you are someone who's had a really 313 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: big night on the booze, if you're breastfeeding, if you're pregnant, 314 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 2: if you have morning sickness, if you, like us, had 315 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: gastro from daycare twice this year, Oh my god, it's awful. 316 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: Don't even can't even go. That was like PTSD from it. 317 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 2: It's awful. If you're recovering from a vomiting or a 318 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 2: diarrhea bug, you need some electrolytes. But so what we've 319 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: done is we've formulated our range to be a hydration range, 320 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 2: so it's about a half strength of an electrolyte without 321 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 2: crazy amounts of sodium in there. SWI serve of both 322 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: of either the blood orange and mango, which is the 323 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: most epic flavor ever. I must say, or a serve 324 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: of the lemon lime, which this one surprised us. I 325 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: wanted grape, but our community made us choose lemon lime. 326 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 2: So if you're someone that doesn't love overly sweet things, 327 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 2: the lemon lime flavor is absolutely few. I like a 328 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 2: sweeter type of electrolyte, and so the blood orange mango 329 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: is my absolute favorite. And when we sent it out 330 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: to all our family and friends, these were certainly the 331 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: top two, weren't they These were the two that everybody loved. 332 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: We had about four flavors to pick from, and it 333 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 2: just kept coming back that everyone wanted the lemon lime 334 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: and the blood orange. So in a serve of that 335 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 2: very minimal calories, ten to twelve calories, I think up 336 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 2: the top my head. Minimal protein, minimal fat, as you 337 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: would expect, there's about three grams of carbohydrate, so on purpose, 338 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 2: we've kept it very low carbohydrate, very low sugar. Sodium wise, 339 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 2: we've got about one hundred and fifty milligrams of sodium 340 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 2: per serve, so a service five grams. There's a little 341 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: scoopa in the packet, one hundred and fifty milligrams of 342 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 2: sodium and one hundred and fifty milligrams of potassium and 343 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 2: fifty milligrams of magnesium. They're the three most common electrolytes 344 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: people would need if they have more of like a 345 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: dehydrating condition, they've done a heavy amount of exercise. They 346 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: as we said, are pregnant, breastfeeding, nauseous, vomiting, recovering from 347 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 2: gashro recovering from a big night out, or you've just 348 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: got to, like your peteacher out in the hot sun 349 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 2: all day and you're sweating a lot. That is where 350 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: you'd want to replace some of these electrolytes within your body. 351 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: So a standard service five grams. I personally think that 352 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 2: most people would take a standard serve. If you are 353 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: more of that pregnant breastfeeding, you've got increased requirements. Breastfeeding 354 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 2: feeding mums, you and I both know you just carry 355 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 2: your drink bottle everywhere. You can never get enough water. 356 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: So sometimes just adding in a few electrolytes is helpful 357 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: and our just safe for both healthy pregnant women and 358 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: healthy breastfeeding women as well. If you've got medical conditions, 359 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 2: et cetera, definitely check with your doctor. I would use 360 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: a serf for that, where I would use a double 361 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: serve is if I have a really client with a 362 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 2: tough exercise conditioning CrossFit style class, I would double the amount, 363 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 2: so then you're getting three hundred milligrams of sodium potassium 364 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: and one hundred milligrams of magnesium. It's still much lower 365 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: than the traditional some of the traditional electrolytes on the market, 366 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 2: but it's going to give you a really good boost 367 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 2: of those electrolytes and minerals that you actually need if 368 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 2: you're recovering from, as I said, vomiting, gastrobug diarrhea, or 369 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 2: anything like that. I do a double serve. If you're 370 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 2: just going in a standard sauna fifteen twenty minutes, you're 371 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: probably okay with one serve, But if you're doing a 372 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: workout and then a sauna session, I would do a 373 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: double serve on top of that. So it's completely fine 374 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: to take two or three serves of this a day 375 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: if you need it. And we've done it that way 376 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 2: because we want it to be an everyday hydration range 377 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: for everyday people. We're not saying every single person needs it, 378 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 2: We're saying, if you do need it, this is a 379 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 2: great alternative to the majority of electrolytes supplements in the 380 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 2: market which have just way too much sodium in them, 381 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 2: and everyday people do not need that much salt. Austraians 382 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: get enough salt. It's really not the salt that we 383 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 2: have an issue with. So that's why we took it 384 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 2: right down. And the other thing I will say, which 385 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: most people will probably bring up, is that, oh my goodness, 386 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: sucross is the first ingredient. Sucros is sugar. We have 387 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 2: added sugar in on purpose because if you do need 388 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 2: to replace your electrolytes, you very likely need to replace 389 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: a little bit of calories or sugar as well. But 390 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: don't panic. Both flavors only have about three grams of 391 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 2: carbohydrate two to three grams of sugar preserves. It's a 392 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,479 Speaker 2: very low sugar formulation, but there is a little bit 393 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: of natural sugar in there. The range is gluten free, 394 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 2: it's vegan. It is low and sugar. Only natural colors, 395 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 2: only natural sweetness, a little bit of steaviier. There's nothing 396 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 2: artificial in there. I covered it all off. That's basically 397 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 2: so yeah, I think it's. 398 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: A good summary because I think there is a lot 399 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: of I guess we in our experience we tend to 400 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: see people who are either doing very little exercise or 401 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: way like huge amounts. I think coming into summer where 402 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: you're in hot pilarate studios and hot yoga studios in particular, 403 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: if you do any kind of bickeram or hot yogurt 404 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: and sweating bucket loads, these are absolutely for you. And 405 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: I have a lot of clients who are doing you know, 406 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: up at six am doing CrossFit, a lot of Queenslanders. 407 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: You know, we do lose a lot of fluid and 408 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: it can make us feel really quite unwell. So yeah, 409 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: I think it's just a nice addition to the range. 410 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: I find there's a lot of mums who are constantly 411 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: chronically dehydrated. There's a lot of people who party who 412 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: are constantly dehydrated, and this is just a nice gentle 413 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: mix that will assimilate very well with your dietary intake 414 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: to help rehydrate you in a very gentle, palatable way. 415 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: So find it a designed by dieticians, it's our latest 416 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,719 Speaker 1: hydrate range and like everything, we can't wait to hear 417 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: your thoughts on it. 418 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, And I would also say that yes, we 419 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 2: develop our ranges for women's like we do with the 420 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 2: whole brand, but It is completely fine to give it 421 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 2: to your partners. Somebody messaged me online and said, my 422 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 2: son's sixteen, he's would you say he's sixty five kilos, 423 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: He plays a lot of sports, he sweats a lot, 424 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 2: like he's a salty sweater. Is this appropriate for him? 425 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 2: And I said absolutely so. As we said, it's a 426 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 2: very safe and gentle range. Your partners can use it, 427 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 2: your hobbies can use it. If your children are old enough, 428 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: they play a lot of sport, they're a bit bigger, 429 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 2: it would be completely fine for them. 430 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: I actually think it's even better for the kids because 431 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: what I see at my kids sport is the kids 432 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 1: are having full strengths parade and gatorade. They're having full 433 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: strength and its sugar. So you know, I've got one 434 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: little boy who really doesn't drink very much, and they 435 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: just run. These little kids run for hours. You know, 436 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: they go from one game to the other, or cricket. 437 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: You know, my kids played two games of cricket on 438 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: the weekend. They're out in the hot sun. I've got 439 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: one who's a good water drinker, but one who is not. 440 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: So I'm very happy for the kids to have these. 441 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: These are quite safe for children. Over the age of 442 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: say five, six seven, And if they are kids who 443 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: don't drink a lot and they do do a lot 444 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: of sport, this is actually quite a good product for 445 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: them as well. 446 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. And I had a couple of samples left over, 447 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 2: and when we were recovering from our gastra bug, we 448 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 2: had a thing of hydra like little tablets and we 449 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 2: ran out and I just put the samples at the 450 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 2: hydral like into the kids drink bottles and was like, 451 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 2: drink this as we were recovering from that gastro bug. 452 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 2: So even for really little kids, if you have a 453 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: huge rehydration requirement, like you are recovering from a vomiting 454 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 2: or a diarrhea bug, I think it would be completely fine, 455 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 2: but always best to check with you know, your health 456 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: professional for these. 457 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: Things as well. 458 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 2: True. 459 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: Okay, Lee, and there's I've got a new product to 460 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: talk about with you. And I thought this has been 461 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: around for a little while now and we haven't covered it. 462 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: So the one I've chosen today is the Latina Fresh 463 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: Protein Pasta. I've got the beef and ravioli version of it. Now, 464 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: going back to my days at university, I would eat 465 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: Latina pasta at least once a week. The spinach and 466 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: recuaded one was my favorite, with a bit of domeio 467 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: pasta sauce back in the day. Now I know that 468 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: a lot of I know Lee's from Lees and Sarah 469 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: loves these products for her boys because they're just quick 470 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 1: and easy. You can stick them into the pan and 471 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: with a bit of tomato pasta sauce and you've got 472 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: sort of a filling meal for teenagers in particular, quite quickly. 473 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: They're very convenient. I don't buy them myself at the 474 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: moment my boys are a little bit young, but I 475 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: can imagine that when they're getting to teenagers, I'm trying 476 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 1: to fill them all the time. These will be quite 477 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: a convenient product. And in general Latina Pasta, the fresh ones, 478 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: they're all pretty good, you know, in the supermarket. I 479 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: don't have any fundamental issues with them. I think they're 480 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: a good base. You can use different portions and mixed 481 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: through with lots of veggies. But this is the specific, 482 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: the protein version, and at the time of recording, it's 483 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: on sale for six fifty for four hundred grams, but 484 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: it usually is nine dollars. Now, I would think you'd 485 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: get at least two serves if not more, so that's 486 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: pretty good. You know, four to fifty per serve. But 487 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: this is specifically marketed for the protein, so the ingredients 488 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: are watia molina, but we wealina. Ricotted cheese is high 489 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: up on the list, so two whole foods going in 490 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,239 Speaker 1: straight away, milk, salt, food acids, thickener, water, egg, and 491 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: then texturized pea protein is added to bulk it up. 492 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: Palmers and cheese five percent, followed by beef five percent, 493 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: so that's pretty low in actual meat content, bread crumbs, 494 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: vegetable oil, salt, onion, caramelized sugar, wheat, fiber play buff 495 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: so relatively clean ingredient list. The thing that sort of 496 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: stands out for me straight away is five percent beef 497 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: is very low. So when you're you have a turn 498 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: in a minute land where you turn in say commercial asagna, 499 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: its ranges between if you can find a twenty percent 500 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: beef product is pretty high. They're rare. Most of them 501 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: are about ten, twelve, sixteen, but this at five is 502 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: very low straight away, So they're saying a serve is 503 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: there's two serves per pack, and that cooks up to 504 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: give six hundred grams, so three hundred gram per serve 505 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: and it gives a massive How many is that? 506 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 2: Two? Seven? 507 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: Okay, thanks Sam, you'll have your turn in a minute. 508 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: Seven hundred calories she's public couldn't read, so I'm stronggling 509 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: she's so excited about hydration today. 510 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 2: Seven. 511 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: I was trying to do the maths. Actually, man, seven 512 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: hundred calories, which is not insignificant. Thirty grams of protein, 513 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: which is high, isn't it? Like usually for pasta? How 514 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: much would you get like ten twelve? Normally do you reckon? 515 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 2: Yep? 516 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: Twenty grams are fat, so it's not a low fat product, 517 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: which I found interesting because it's got that ricotta and 518 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: dairy base in it. It's actually six point seven grams 519 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: per hundred, so low fat's less than three. So it's 520 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: not high, but it's certainly not low, and saturated fat's 521 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: low overall at two point eight per hundred, but you'll 522 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: get quite a lot eight point four per serve, again 523 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: because of the dairy, not so much the beef. Then 524 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: you get a whopping eighty two grams of carbohydrate, So 525 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: even though it's higher in protein, it's certainly not low 526 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: in carbohydrate. Four point eight sugar is just coming a 527 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: little bit from the dairy massive dietary fiber two sixteen 528 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: point eight, which is much higher than you would normally 529 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: get with pasta. I'd say at least three times the 530 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: amounts of the pea protein and pretty solid in the sodium, 531 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: like twenty two hundred. That's more than the entire daily 532 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: recommended intake of salt massive. So I'm sort of with 533 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: this product. The only people that I would use it 534 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: for is teenage boys because they have big energy demands. 535 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: It's very salty if they're doing a lot of activity. 536 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: But I don't actually have a lot of place for it. 537 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: I think that the profile it's not amazing. I don't 538 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: love pea protein added at the expense of beef, which 539 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: is only five percent, and I think I would rather 540 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: people have like pasta and add some meat sauce or 541 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: pasta and tuna the plain ones. Then I would suggest 542 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: clients buy this product. So I would be like, buy 543 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: the regular latina and added tiner tuna, and you're going 544 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: to be much better off than spending the extra on 545 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 1: this and thinking it's a good product, because nutritionally the 546 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: profile has some negatives. You know, it is high in sodium, 547 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,479 Speaker 1: relatively high and saturated fat, and it is using a 548 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: process form of protein to get those numbers up. So 549 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: that's my position. We hadn't discussed it before he popped on. 550 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: What do you think I. 551 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 2: Can't get past eighty three grands of carbohydrated seray six 552 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: slices of bread. Yeah, so I agree, Like not just 553 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 2: teenage boys, Like very active teenage boys would be the 554 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 2: only ones I would be using it for. If you've 555 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 2: got a teenage boy and he's a game when he 556 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 2: doesn't really do much activity, this is not the product. 557 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 2: It's really very active because again, af they're active, they're 558 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: sweating out so they can kind of buffer some of 559 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 2: that sodium. But two thousand milligrams for a teenager is 560 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 2: a massive whopping them out of sodium, close to eight 561 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 2: hundred calories by time you I had sourcein, and then 562 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 2: of course everybody wants to add a bit of cheese 563 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 2: on top. You're looking at eight hundred to one thousand 564 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 2: calories for a meal. So for a growing, active teenage boy, 565 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 2: not a problem. But you know, for a metopausal woman 566 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 2: who's just trying to eat more protein, this is not 567 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 2: the product for you. That's not the product for me. 568 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 2: It's not the product for you, Susie. This is not 569 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 2: really what i'd ever recommend for a client like you. 570 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 2: I'd use the normal rabioli and I'd be adding in 571 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 2: a bit of chunea or chicken or something to that, 572 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 2: bulk it up with a bit of venge and make 573 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: a packet stretch to three meals and not two. But 574 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 2: you know, it's a pretty cost effective way to get 575 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 2: in thirty grams of protein. But that's probably the only 576 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 2: real benefit I see, if I'm being honest, in this 577 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 2: product is like thirty grams of protein for on sale, 578 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 2: you know, maybe three. 579 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: Dollars a serve float a calorie so for. 580 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, huge calories, huge carves, huge sodium, SOD. And the 581 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 2: fiber again not that natural type of whole grain type 582 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 2: fiber that we want, more modified fiber being added in 583 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 2: from that textureized pea protein. So it's not actually adding 584 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 2: any goodness to your gut health from like a whole 585 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 2: grain perspective either. So I wouldn't really see the huge 586 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 2: fiber as a positive either. 587 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, I feel like they've got the 588 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: pasta and just like added everything in they could just 589 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: to bog it up, like, have a truckload of salt, 590 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: have a truckload of protein, have a truckload of fiber, 591 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: and let's see what comes out, see what happens. Yeah, 592 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 1: so yeah, I thought it was interesting because we know 593 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: straight away as soon as people see protein on packaging, 594 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: it's a very effective marketing tool to sell. But yeah, 595 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: from my perspective, i'd stick to your original or the tiner, 596 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: and if you need more protein, add a bit of 597 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: tuna or chicken to any mix with some tomato pisada, 598 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: and you're probably better off nutritionally. 599 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. It's definitely that health halo effect. We 600 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 2: see protein on the label and we think, oh, that's 601 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 2: automatically better. But you absolutely need to read your food 602 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 2: labels because this is really not a product i'd ever 603 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 2: really recommend. I think the normal standard baby or if 604 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 2: that's what you want, is probably a far better option 605 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 2: for most families, most people. Yeah, all right. Moving on 606 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 2: to our final segment of the podcast is our listener question. 607 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 2: So question is I have fussy kids, what are some 608 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 2: easy breakfast ideas for them? I like this question. This 609 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 2: is a good one. This is really common, particularly for 610 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: families that are just like everyone's just so busy in 611 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 2: the morning, like trying to get your kids out, Like 612 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 2: mine got a daycare. Most kids, you know school, if 613 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 2: they're older, they got a UNI. Trying to get them 614 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 2: out the door in the morning is like it's just crazy, right, 615 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 2: Like sometimes I might worry even on my car keys, 616 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 2: Like it's a bit of a madhouse in the morning. 617 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 2: So I think the key to focus on is simple 618 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 2: and balance and as much as you can prep ahead. 619 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 2: So I love like, if you've got really fussy kids, 620 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 2: make it a little bit fun, but don't make extra 621 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 2: work for you. So do like a build your own 622 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 2: yogurt pot. So give them like a bit of a 623 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 2: bowl of yogurt. You can have you know, little things 624 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 2: of berries, banana and musley, sprinkle of like some crush 625 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: wheat bigs. If you give the kids a bit of 626 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 2: choice and a bit of independence, they will actually probably 627 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 2: eat a better balance meal that if you just put 628 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 2: something directly in front of them. So have a little 629 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: sort of build your own yogat pot station that can 630 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 2: be a really great option. They're getting a bit of 631 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 2: protein and a bit of calcium through the yogurt, which 632 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 2: is a great base to start with it in the morning. 633 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 2: If you do, My kids like the dippy eggs like 634 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 2: you do the soft wailed eggs, and you dip the 635 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 2: little toast soldiers into them. That or like a mini omelet, 636 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 2: you can give them options like what do you want 637 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 2: on your omelet? Do you want cheese? Do you want 638 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: a little bit of you know, grated vegetables, that kind 639 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 2: of thing, smoothies or what of my clients we were 640 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 2: talking about for her fussy kids, we came up with 641 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 2: the idea of smoothie pops. Now that it's like summer, 642 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 2: so what you would put into a smooth You've got milk, 643 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 2: you've got yogurt. Kids need a bit of extra fat, 644 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 2: so nut butter, hemp seeds, cheer seeds, a bit of oads, 645 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 2: that kind of thing. Whatever you put into your smoothie, 646 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 2: blend it and then put it in those little ice 647 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 2: popsicle you know, molds and freeze them and the kids 648 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 2: can have like a healthy ice cream for breakfast. But 649 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 2: it's like a really nourishing smoothie pop. That can be 650 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 2: a really good option for fussy kids. If you want 651 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 2: to do pancakes or pikelets, you've got to start with 652 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 2: a base of a whole meal, like a whole meal 653 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 2: flower you just have to and you can do things 654 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: like grated apple, grated zucchini. You can mash a bit 655 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: of banana in there, put some cheer seeds in there. 656 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 2: So pancakes and pikelets can actually be a really nourishing 657 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 2: option for fussy kids. Same thing with like a homemade 658 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 2: banana bread, a homemade chocolate zucchini bread. And these are 659 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 2: things you can prep in advance. You can slice, you 660 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 2: can freeze, you can bring out for a busy morning, 661 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 2: Like often my kids will be eating a homemade muffin 662 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 2: on the way to swimming lessons and then we go 663 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 2: straight from swimming at eight o'clock in the morning, straight 664 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 2: to daycare drop off. I drive David into the city 665 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 2: for work, I come back, I start my day. So 666 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 2: it's like a manic like two hours on like a 667 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 2: Wednesday morning for us. So often they might have like 668 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 2: a blended smoothie and a cup or just like a 669 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 2: homemade banana bread. So those are things I find work 670 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 2: really well for bussy kids. And if you can again 671 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 2: just like pimp out what the kids love, like if 672 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 2: they like a muffin, if they like a banana bread, 673 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,239 Speaker 2: if they like a pancake, just pimp it up with 674 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 2: some like healthy options. A bit of grated zucchini, a 675 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 2: bit of mashed banana, or you know, grated apple can 676 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 2: go a long way. 677 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think that they are great options. 678 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: As the kids get older, it's all about grab and go, 679 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: and those old days where we saw a people sitting 680 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: down having bowls of cereal, it just doesn't happen. I 681 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: actually use chocolate milk in a popper because it's just 682 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: grabbing and going. I think just a slice of bread 683 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: with peanut butter or vegimiite, you know, soft bread. My 684 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: kids love that. If it's fresh, they're happy to have that. 685 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: I think that a tube of yogurt, the yogurt chubs 686 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: with no added sugar, you can get a whole range. 687 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 2: Now. 688 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: I think there's the Tama Valley, there is the oh, 689 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: what's that brand, Farmer's Union. I've got a kid's one 690 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: that's got no added sugar as well. I think they're 691 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: not messy. I think they're great. I actually even think 692 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: something like a cheese and crackers is better than nothing 693 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: when you've got kids who are really you know fussy. 694 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: So I think the thing that I'm trying to do 695 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: is that if you look at grab and go snacks, 696 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,479 Speaker 1: they're generally high carbohydrate. So if you think like some 697 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: cereal in a container, or a musli bar or little 698 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,959 Speaker 1: bisk they're all calm. So we want to give them 699 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: some nutritional content and some protein. So whilst those things 700 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: I've described are not the best, like chocolate doesn't have 701 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: added sugar, at least it's got some protein. The same 702 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: if you have a slice of wholemeal, whole grain bread 703 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: with some peanut butter, they're getting some good fats or avocado, 704 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: or a couple of crackers, you know, if kids will 705 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: eat crackers with cheese or with peanut butter, the corn thins, 706 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: they're all options that are particularly quick and easy and 707 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: also grab and go. So I think it's just a 708 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: matter of getting something into them and something that I 709 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: would rather give them, something like that that has some 710 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: nutritional quality than a biscuit or something just all carbohydrates. 711 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: So if you can get something with a beard of protein, 712 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: that would be my preference. 713 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 2: And if you are, do you have that a little 714 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 2: bit of extra time the night before doing like an 715 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 2: overnight odoor or cheer pudding. Then they can kind of 716 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 2: eat that on the car on the way to school 717 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 2: or something that can go a long way as well, 718 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 2: because you can get quite a lot of nourishing ingredients 719 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 2: in if you've got the die. 720 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Or I like the homemade uffins, Like if I 721 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: make muffins, I'll do a base of Greek yogurt, wholemeal flour. 722 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll put a bit of zucchini grated in there 723 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: as well, the eggs, you know, banana, some berries, like 724 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: my kids will eat those. I think they're actually quite good. 725 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of protein, but they're still 726 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: better than sort of anything carby or even like I'm 727 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: usually cookie with an oat base, you know, when my 728 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: kids were younger, I would do those with mashed banana 729 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: and then I'd get them and dip them in a 730 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: bit of chocolate at the bottom. So again not a 731 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,719 Speaker 1: lot of protein, but still whole grain better option than 732 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: a lot of commercial QUICKI options. So yeah, And I 733 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: think with kids it's just sometimes mixing it up or 734 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: different kind of varieties of something they can grab and go. 735 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: That's novel more than anything. 736 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 2: I will quickly say, though you mentioned like not a 737 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 2: lot of protein. Don't. But frey listeners don't forget that. 738 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 2: Little kids don't need a lot of protein. Like five 739 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: to ten grams of protein is more than enough for 740 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 2: a child under ten years of age once they get 741 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 2: into the teenage years, Yes, ten to twenty grams of protein. 742 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 2: But kids do not need thirty forty grams of protein. 743 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 2: Kids do not need high protein yogurts. Kids do not 744 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 2: need four boiled eggs for breakfast. It is far too 745 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 2: much protein for them. The main nutrients they need are 746 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 2: carbs and fat, and they yes, a little bit of 747 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 2: protein is important. So, like Susie said, a cup of 748 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 2: milk is more than enough protein for most children under 749 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 2: about twelve years of age, So just be mindful of that. 750 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 2: They don't need a whole whack of protein. When we 751 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 2: say that we want a bit of protein in there, 752 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 2: a bit of nut butter and a slice of whole 753 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 2: grain bread, it's going to give us about six to 754 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 2: eight grams of protein, and that is actually more than 755 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 2: enough for most small children. 756 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really good point. Yeah, five to ten 757 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: would be what I was looking at. So a glass 758 00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: of milk with a bit of milo is actually a 759 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: pretty good option. 760 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 2: Compared to yeah, if they're just playing rice crackers by itself, 761 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: because that would just be all carb yep. 762 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: Good yep. 763 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 2: All right. 764 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,479 Speaker 1: Well, that brings us to the end of the Nutrition 765 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: Couch for another week.
