Each week, and our listener 17 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: question is asking us what is the ideal carbohydrate distribution 18 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: for fat loss? But leanne getting very close to stuff 19 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: over a week until I'll be up in Brisbane for 20 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: our first of our live series of events in Brisbane, 21 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: Sydney and Melbourne. What have we been so busy every 22 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: day on. That's why we're recording late, because we're just 23 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: crazy busy getting organized, don't we. 24 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 2: Yes. August the twentieth is the first Brisbane event. We 25 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: are hosting it at the Greek Club. There is a 26 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 2: Barista Coffee for all our coffee lovers out there. We 27 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: have the most epic goodie bags. Susan and I have 28 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 2: been chasing sponsors for weeks now and we cannot wait 29 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 2: to share what is in those epic gooody bags. So 30 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 2: just come for the goodie bag, guys in the Barista coffee. 31 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 2: That's all you want to do. But there is also 32 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: some epic topic and content that we will also be 33 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: talking about. 34 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: I think, you know, for me, it's really about coming 35 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: together with a great energy. You know, I think in 36 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: the past couple of years, a lot of us have 37 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: been isolated, and you know, you forget there's a real 38 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 1: positive energy with people who are like minded and trying 39 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: to look after themselves and eat well and. 40 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: Get their energy. 41 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: And I think it'll be an amazing buzz in the room, 42 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: you know. I think it's been an opportunity for us 43 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: to come together because of course we live in different states, 44 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: so we always have great time when we actually spend 45 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: time together and of course our third member David, who 46 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: will be there. But it's a chance for us to 47 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: really get hands on with some of the products we 48 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: love and share them with you because we talk about them. 49 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: But you'll see a lot of social media around our 50 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: sponsors and people whose products we're very proud to highlight 51 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: as part of the goody Bags. So I think here, 52 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: it's a really nice event and it will be for 53 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: sale after the event as well if you're not able 54 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: to attend or in states or regional areas, so keep 55 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: in mind that you won't miss out entirely, although you 56 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: won't get the goody bag, which may inspire you to 57 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: do it when we do it again next year. So 58 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: very exciting time. It's going to be a busy week 59 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: thoughly in because yeah we've still got plenty to do, 60 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: I know. 61 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: And also don't forget, guys, this is an investment in 62 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: your health. If you're thinking, oh, you know, particularly the 63 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: mum gilt. You know, we put everybody first. We never 64 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: want to spend any money on ourselves. This is the 65 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 2: time to ask your Christmas presents early this year because 66 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: this is an absolute investment in not only your health, 67 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: but the health of your family long term as well. 68 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 2: So this is something where Susy and I will not 69 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: be talking about this sort of content on the podcast. 70 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: You know, we give away so much value on the podcast. 71 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: This is specific content just for our events. Hormones, gut health, 72 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: fat loss, barriers to fat loss, of psychology around eating. 73 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 2: There are things we're deep diving too, you know into 74 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: in the event and of course our Cumula panel where 75 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 2: you guys can ask if anything that you want. So 76 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: you've got one week left or just under a week 77 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: left until the Brisbane event, so make sure you get 78 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: in and get tickets at the nutritioncounch dot com and 79 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: ask Santa to come early. 80 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: Oh I like it. Okay, Well, moving on to our 81 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: media Slash Newsy event this week, and one of the 82 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: reasons I feel so passionately about people promoting nutrition in 83 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: a mass level, whether it's not a podcast or in 84 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: the media, is that they're clinicians because each and every 85 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: day it's a working model where we learn from our clients. 86 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: We are able to implement strategies and evidence based practice 87 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: and see how it works in real life. And there's 88 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: not a clinic day leand that goes past where I 89 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: don't make a list of notes of topics and things 90 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: that have come up for my clients that I use 91 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: in my own writing, and of course here on the potty. 92 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: And so this was a client example that came up 93 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: for me that I just loved and I really wanted 94 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: to share it straight away. I think I texted you 95 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: and said, I've got a great topic coming up. And 96 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: so this client of mine and I try and do 97 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: a general description so that i't really know who they are. 98 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: I think this client will know this kind of mine 99 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: as a young, relatively young girl, and she's got an 100 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: executive job, very very busy, and she wanted to lose 101 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: some kilos before a significant birthday. So I want to 102 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: say she wanted to lose ten kilos in a relatively 103 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: short period of time because it's coming up to a 104 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: big holiday at a big celebration, and she wants to 105 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: feel her best. But of course the issue for her 106 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: is there's a lot of socializing coming up, and so 107 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: really it's she wanted to go quite strict, but then 108 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: there had to be some options for eating out and 109 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: being away from the home and events and parties that 110 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: are a big part of her life, both as a 111 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: professional working woman and also as someone about to have 112 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: a big birthday. So one of the things that I 113 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: had her work on was in this lead up to 114 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: the big event, she sort of lost three to five 115 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: kilos and then she's just wanting to maintain those losses 116 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: as we get closer to the birthday. She had sent 117 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: I said to her, Look what I want you to 118 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: do is I want you to write out all of 119 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: the social occasions you've got coming up. I then want 120 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: you to basically in your mind make a plan. And 121 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: the reason I said that to her was that subconsciously 122 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: myself as a dietician and hopefully long term with my 123 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: own clients i'm teaching them, there would be very few 124 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: days that I roughly wouldn't know what I was going 125 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: to eat. You know, even if I was going for dinner, 126 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: I would probably have an idea where I was going 127 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: and roughly think to myself, right, I'm going to an 128 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: Asian restaurant, I'm going to have some dumplings, and I 129 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: might have a couple of alcoholic drinks. Or for example, 130 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: last night, Chris and I went to an Italian restaurant. 131 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: They do an amazing crab past, so I knew all 132 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: day that I would probably have a relatively heavy dinner, 133 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: so I, you know, in the day, didn't perhaps eat 134 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: as much or exercised, just knowing that I was having 135 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: a pretty big dinner or salad in the day, for example. 136 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: So what I wanted this client to do was to 137 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: really start to map out what was coming up for 138 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: her and basically make a plan in advance, so she 139 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't go into these social occasions and just let all 140 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: the dietary foundations we'd been working on for out the window, 141 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: and so she would yes indulge if there were heavier food, 142 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: but for example, if she was going to a drinks 143 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: event at six o'clock at night where there was probably 144 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: just fatty canapays and poor quality food, that she would 145 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: have a super a salad and a substantial snack, you know, 146 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: a couple of hours before, so that she wouldn't arrive 147 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: starving and be off to make smart choices. Now, that 148 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: is basically planning in advance, but there's also quite a 149 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: lot of theory behind it. And one of the key 150 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: theories that guides that is one called intention formation, which 151 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: is some very old psychological research. Now you know, we're 152 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: looking at twenty years old. That basically says goal achievement 153 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: is more likely to be achieved when you have intention, 154 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: but not just the intention of eating well, but translated 155 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: into plans, so how you are actively going to implement that. 156 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: So what we often see leanne is people who say, right, 157 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: I'm going out for dinner, going to a function or event, 158 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: and I'm going to try to make healthy choices. But 159 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: what this theory is saying is that is not enough. 160 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: Intention isn't enough when we're exposed to large amounts of stimulus, information, 161 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: and environment that is conducive to overeating. You actually have 162 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: to have a plan. And so what I was doing 163 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: with my client is based on that theory, where I 164 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: wanted her to really write it down, so even if 165 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: it didn't go exactly to plan, there was a strong 166 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: foundation there. And so I can report that she's doing 167 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,679 Speaker 1: really well even though she's been eating out multiple times 168 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: a week, her diet is on track, she's continued to 169 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: lose weight, which is unheard of when you've got someone 170 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: eating multiple meals multiple meals out most of the time. 171 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: But she's been very focused on that planning phase. So 172 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to discuss it because I know we both 173 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: feel strongly about planning in general, and for health professionals 174 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: it becomes a subconscious thing. We just do it. But 175 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: it is something that I was really trying to teach 176 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: her and she's really picked up very well on it 177 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: because she's very diligent at writing out what's happening each week, 178 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: and when, for example, she's going to a cannopey function 179 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: or she's going to a birthday, she might say, look, 180 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: I am going to have some cake there, but I'm 181 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: going to do a run the next day and then 182 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to have a later breakfast. So when it's 183 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: written down and documented, goal outcome is significantly more likely. 184 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: And so as a strategy for people struggling when they're 185 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: eating out, it can be very easy just to start 186 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: to write down what's coming up that may be challenging 187 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: and put a plan together to pre empt that, and 188 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: you're just more likely to keep on track than you 189 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: are if you don't go in with any very specific 190 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: plans around that eating out. So I liked it because 191 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: it was a real case example of someone who did 192 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: it and to show that it worked really well. But 193 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: specifically I find for clients eating out in the week 194 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: very confronting in some cases when they've been sort of 195 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: on track with their diet for a long time, and 196 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: so just making that list, whether it's I'm going to 197 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: have a snack here, I'm going to take something in 198 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: my handbag, I'm going to pack some extra vegues the 199 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,479 Speaker 1: night before, I'm going to have a limit on three cannopas, 200 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to drink soda water in between, and actually 201 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: writing it is the difference often between achieving it or 202 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: just leaving it into an idealistic theory that we'd like 203 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: to follow. 204 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 2: I love that, and the planning is keen. That's something 205 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: I teach my clients all the time as well, particularly 206 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: on the Thursday out front, and I always check in 207 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 2: with them and say, hey, guys, what's the plan for 208 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: the weekend. Have we got a bit of a budget 209 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 2: left for the week? Do we want to chat through 210 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 2: some menus? And often what I do with my clients 211 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: Susie is I make them pick two choices. So we go, right, 212 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 2: we're going to this Italian place, this is where we're 213 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: going for drinks. Let's choose two choices from the menu. 214 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 2: Because often what happens is we go Okay, they fish 215 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 2: in them veggies, or maybe we're going to have half 216 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: a pizza and a salad. Whatever the option is that 217 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 2: looks great. They get there and the restaurant's like, oh sorry, 218 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 2: this isn't available, and they're like, oh crap, what am 219 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: I going to do now? So I always like to 220 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 2: plan and then plan again. So I like an option 221 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: A and a option B, and I do that in 222 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: my own life as well. So as nutrition professionals, eating 223 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: well comes a bit easier to us than so the 224 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 2: standard person. But exercise for me, you know, I work 225 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: with a lot of personal trainers and they find exercises easy, 226 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: but nutrition is what they struggle with. For me, it's exercise. 227 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: I really have to try and kind of motivate myself 228 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: to get there. And this morning I had two plans. 229 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 2: I said, I really want to hit the gym today. 230 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 2: My goal really at the moment is to build up 231 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 2: my strength and gain my muscle mass back that I 232 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 2: lost through pregnancy. So I said to David, all right, 233 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: we're going to hit the gym. The alarms at for 234 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 2: five forty five, We're going to go for six to 235 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: seven am. And the goal was for to see if 236 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 2: his mum was available, took up to me or in 237 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: the morning and I said, and if all that fails, 238 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: or we'll hit the gym just before I do a 239 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 2: podcast with Susie at one point thirty. And so we 240 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: woke up this morning MEAs picked up a little bug. 241 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: At the moment she didn't sleep very well. She needed 242 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 2: a feed at three she was up again at four thirty. 243 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 2: We were exhausted, and then Davids one was unavailable to 244 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 2: look after her, and so we're like, right, plan went 245 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: out the window, went for a little walk instead, went 246 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 2: to get a coffee, came back and I said, right, 247 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 2: I've committed. I've got the time of my dir. I 248 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: blocked it out so nobody else could book in and 249 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: I went to the gym and I got it done. 250 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: So I always liked the plan A and the plan 251 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 2: be option because often the first option doesn't go to plan. 252 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 2: And if you're planning on going to the gym and 253 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 2: you have a bad night's sleep, or you sleep through 254 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: the alarm, or you get up and it's pouring ran 255 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 2: and you're like, I don't want to walk there, you 256 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: kind of want an option B. AND's often what happens 257 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 2: is people go all or nothing. They've got the plan 258 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 2: and it doesn't got to plan, so it's out the window. 259 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 2: So I always get my clients to plan a plan 260 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: A and a plan B. And I'm a big fan 261 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 2: of planning in terms of meal prepping your food or 262 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: you nutrition for the week as well, because often what 263 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 2: happens is if we don't clients don't plan it head 264 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: to what they're going to have, they spend a lot 265 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: more time in the supermarket. So they're going to the 266 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 2: grocery shop on a Sunday and then they're going back 267 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 2: on Tuesday, they're going back on Thursday, they need more 268 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: food on Friday. And the more times we go, the 269 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: more attempted we are to put all of that sort 270 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 2: of overly process or what I sort of termed soul 271 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 2: foods into our trolley, and we're more likely to get 272 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: off track and we're more likely to go through the 273 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 2: drive through or order some Uber eats. If the choice 274 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 2: is I had to go to the grocery store, then 275 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 2: come home then cook dinner, it becomes more of a 276 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 2: chore and it takes a lot more time out of 277 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 2: the day, versus if we can just plan our meals 278 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 2: for the week, write a big grocery list and do 279 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: one shop for the week. That is so much better 280 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: than having to go back multiple times. So even if 281 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 2: you're not a fan of meal prepping, if you'd like 282 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 2: to cook fresh every night, just plan out the meals 283 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: that you're going to have. Remember, as kids, Mum had 284 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: a like a whiteboard in the kitchen and she'd write 285 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 2: all of the meals for the week because A, ashe 286 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: was sick of us going Mum, what's for dinner, She's like, 287 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 2: look at the board, and B she did it from 288 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 2: a budgeting perspective as well, because she hated ways, she 289 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 2: hated throwing things out, and she hated making multiple trips 290 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: to the supermarket every single day. So she'd plan out 291 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 2: all the meals on a Sunday night, just say, look 292 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: at the board. You know exactly what's for dinner. And 293 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 2: if we were hungry in advance, she's like, well you 294 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: can start making dinner. This is when obviously we're a 295 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 2: bit older, sort of teenage years, she's like, we've got 296 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 2: takers tonight, we can start prepping the letters. If you're 297 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 2: hungry and you want us to eat earlier, because I'm 298 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 2: not going to start doing it till then, so it 299 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 2: was a really good sort of way. But I think 300 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: I've been planning with my nutrition for years and it's 301 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: it's a skill that's really served me well. And like 302 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: we both do, it's what we teach our clients because 303 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: I always say planning is the key to success. 304 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: Planning is the key to dietary success. 305 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: So many people don't do it. Yeah, and we just 306 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 2: rely on motivation. 307 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: Can I say your mother was just a dietician before 308 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: her time, wasn't she? She absolutely was, Like she's amazing, 309 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: Like I just feel like she's taught us everything, really, and. 310 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 2: She's so bummeduse she can't get the day of work. 311 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 2: I didn't tell her about the events to too late 312 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 2: that she's put in six weeks pre notice to get 313 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 2: a day off from worker. They're a bit rough, and 314 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 2: so she's so upset that she can't come to the event. 315 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 2: But she is cooking you a massive Malaysian Chinese meal 316 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: when you do come up, So she's very excited about that. 317 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: She's very special your mom, hundred percent. But yeah, and 318 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: I liked my clients to have the default meals in 319 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: the week because just how busy people are, so just 320 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 2: knowing that every Monday it's this, so you don't have 321 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 2: to actually think each time, and it just becomes on 322 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: AUTOQ and not wasting that time and energy. So I 323 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 2: think there's so many opportunities to plan and prep in advance. 324 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: And I think whether you may have it down pat 325 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 2: in terms of your lunches, we're going to talk about 326 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 2: lunches in a second. You may have it down pat 327 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 2: in terms of your dinners, but if eating out is 328 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 2: tripping you up, I strongly encourage you to start making 329 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: some notes. And the great thing about phones as well 330 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: here is that you can just make notes in your 331 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: phone so quickly when you're waiting in a queue somewhere 332 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: or just hanging around, knowing what you've got coming up, 333 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: and in more cases than not it you often do 334 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 2: need to assume the food that's going to be available 335 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: is probably pretty poor and or indulgent. So in that instance, 336 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: you're either going to eat a lot more than you 337 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: used to and that's okay as long as you have 338 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: a buffer, or you need to pre empt it so 339 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: you don't arrive starving, and then you can make more 340 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 2: informed decisions about what you're eating rather than just eating 341 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: everything that crosses your path because you're starving. And as 342 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 2: we said, talking about lunch boxes in a second, or 343 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: even planning, just taking that little snack for laternon before 344 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 2: you head out can be the difference between overeating hundreds 345 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: and hundreds of calories. So, as I said, my client's 346 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: doing really well with just mapping out, and long term 347 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 2: she won't have to write it down because it'll just 348 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 2: be normal for her to grab something before she goes 349 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 2: and not overeat when she's out on poor quality food. 350 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 2: But until it becomes a habit, and as I said, 351 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: it's called intention formation, it's just not about having an intention, 352 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 2: You've actually got to have the plan to go with it. 353 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 2: And that's so true. And I've heard time and time again, 354 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 2: even friends of mine, they go, oh, you know, I 355 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: was planning and doing this, and then I got there 356 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: and the only thing that was available was pizza. You know. 357 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: Like a friend said to me the other day, she 358 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 2: was on her health kick and she gives me a 359 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 2: bit of an update every week, and she said, I 360 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 2: was going over to my husband's friend's house and we 361 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: got there and he said, you know, we'd have dinner 362 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: with them, and they'd ordered pizza. For dinner, and she's like, 363 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 2: what did I do? I just ate the pizza. And 364 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: so you know, if she'd had a bit of a buffer, 365 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 2: like as you suggested, a veggie soup, a big leafy 366 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: green salad before she went, she wouldn't have eaten four 367 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: five slices like she did. Maybe she would have only 368 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 2: needed two or three slices of pizza. So even one 369 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: less makes a difference when it comes to I mean, 370 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: her goal was fat loss and developing a healthy lifestyle. 371 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 2: And then she's said to me and afterwards because I 372 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 2: was so hungry at like four or five slizes, and 373 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: I felt crap afterwards because it was so greasy, and 374 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: I felt so sluggish the whole next day. So I 375 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 2: think that planning is absolutely key. And I think it's 376 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: a really nice reminder as well, because I feel like 377 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: in winter we kind of drop the ball a little 378 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 2: bit when it comes to healthy eating, don't we, And 379 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: then we sort of pick it back up again when 380 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: spring comes. 381 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: Well, it goes back to something we've spoken about before. 382 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: You're either on or you're off, as opposed to accepting 383 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: that there's no perfection and it's just about making the 384 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: best decision you can at the time, but we don't 385 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: have control over the environments. But what you do have 386 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: control over is how you go into some of those environments. 387 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: So planning and making some strategies to take control and 388 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: not be a victim to those will go a long 389 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: way in getting a great balance between eating out. But 390 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: they're not overeating poor quality food just because it's crossed 391 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: your path. 392 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And speaking of planning, the client case study today 393 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: was a topic that somebody sent through to us on Instagram, 394 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 2: and the idea was around adult lunchboxes. And I love 395 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 2: this because so you do a few lunchboxes on your 396 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 2: Instagram as well, So I thought this was great. And 397 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 2: the question actually came from a lady who I assume 398 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 2: worked on like a big farm or something. And so 399 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 2: I don't have access to a fridge, I don't have 400 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 2: access to a stove or cooked up. I can't warm 401 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: things up in a microwave. I basically take a lunchbox, 402 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 2: but it's full of like package type snacks. How can 403 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 2: I make you know adult lunchbox is a lot healthier. 404 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 2: So I'll tell you my sort of formula, SUSI I 405 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 2: must admit I work with a lot of clients who 406 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 2: you know, they're in the office of their homes. They 407 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: do have you know, they can cook their lunch fresh. 408 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: They can warm something up in a microwave. So I 409 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: really do like this idea of an adult lunchbox because 410 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 2: I do find it quite practical. And my first tip 411 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 2: would be just to take an ice brick with you, 412 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 2: or to have like a bit of a cooler bag 413 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 2: so that you can actually, you know, the foods that 414 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: you take don't have to be just non perishable foods. 415 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: You can take some protein, you can take some yoga, 416 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: you can take some cheese. So my formula is pretty simple. 417 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: It's basically how you build a balanced meal. It's one protein, 418 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: one fat, one carb, and some sort of ven. So 419 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: protein options for an adult lunchbox could look like meatballs 420 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: and meatballs. I'm saying because I made me these beautiful 421 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: beef and veggie meatballs as part of her she get 422 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: you know, a bit of iron and that baby lead 423 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: weeding journey. So I've had meat balls in my mind, 424 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 2: So meat balls could be a good protein option. They 425 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: fit in a nice little lunch box. Boiled eggs are perfect, 426 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: a tin of tuna, a four bean mix. If you 427 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 2: don't want to hit anything up, or you don't have 428 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: an ice prick. A frittata could be a really nice option, 429 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 2: or some good quality Greek yogurt as well could be 430 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: a good protein option. Fats are pretty easy. Handful of nuts, 431 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: some guacamole, some cheese, all those little round little you 432 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 2: know those baby Bell brand they're pretty good. Awesome olives 433 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: as well. Olives are a really nice fat sauce. Carboys, 434 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 2: you could use a little bit of sushi. You could 435 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 2: do some energy balls where you've got some like dates 436 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 2: and nuts and some fruit blended up. You could do 437 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 2: a homemade muffon. You could do some leftover fried rice. 438 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: I think the options are kind of endless. Carboys. You 439 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 2: could do a nice like wrap or a sandwich as well, 440 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 2: And then of course you need to have that veggie volume. 441 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 2: So basically just some veggie sticks and a lower calorie dip, 442 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 2: maybe a salser, maybe a sizziki. Some cherry tomatoes are always 443 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 2: good to munch on in a lunch box as well. 444 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 2: So I think as much color as possible, at as 445 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: much fresh home prepared things as possible. I think people 446 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 2: fall into the mistake of going I'm going to take 447 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 2: a pack at a popcorn, I'm going to take a muslibar, 448 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 2: I'm going to take a fruit stick, and I'm going 449 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 2: to take a protein ball. And a lot of these 450 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: things are coming in packets. They're overly processed, so the 451 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 2: volume of those foods is quite low, so you're eating 452 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: more calories, but you're not feeling that full. So what 453 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,479 Speaker 2: we want is really those volume dnce options like the 454 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 2: berries of fresh fruit, the veggie sticks, things that fill 455 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 2: us up for less calories essentially, So volume dance eating 456 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 2: is something that Susie and I both do, and I 457 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 2: actually had an episode on it on my podcast with 458 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 2: another dietitian Paula, who's excellent as well in her whole 459 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: jam is volume based eating. So if our listeners are 460 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 2: interested in more volume based eating, they can go and 461 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 2: check out the volume based Eating podcast on the Leonwald 462 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 2: Nutrition Podcast. 463 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: Shout out to Paula. Actually is it the moving Dietitian. 464 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: It's her Instagram moving. She does some amazing stuff, so yeah, 465 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: she's some really novel ways of looking at volume. You 466 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: know what I picked up when you're just talking that 467 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: you put cheese in as a fat, which I think 468 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: is fantastic because my clients were all counted as protein, 469 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: and I'll say, oh, there's a bit, but it's not really, 470 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: it's more fats. 471 00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: It's more fat. 472 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: The other food I thought of was cottage cheese. Oh 473 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: you like cottage cheese. It's a really really good source 474 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: of protein. And yeah, I think that. The beautiful thing 475 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: about the lunch boxes and the thing I like about 476 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: it because I put them on my Instagram and people 477 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: think they're for kids, but to be honest, they're really 478 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: more adult based lunchboxes because I wouldn't waste my time 479 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: putting together something so fabulous for kids. They don't care 480 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: like they're happy with a vegemite sandwich and my kids 481 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: are a sausage of all things, and that doesn't really 482 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: photograph very well for Instagram. So the lunch boxes I 483 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: put up are really more adult ones. And I love 484 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: the boxes. I love. There's a couple of people on 485 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: Instagram who've got amazing ones, but I've just got one 486 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: from Big w which is a metal one with compartments 487 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: I love. And the reason I love it is that 488 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: there's a really big section for the protein and the 489 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: salad and the vege. Because I'm sure you'll agree with 490 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: me lean. If you're giving feedback to clients, they never 491 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: have enough salad and veggie bulk in the day. You know, 492 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: you need two three cups, so you don't just need 493 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: celery sticks or carrot sticks. You need that and a 494 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: salad or a soup, so that works well. I find 495 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: it keeps things like the seeded crackers or homeless to 496 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,479 Speaker 1: control pustion wise, because it's easy to eat way too 497 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: much of those. But I think it's just a way 498 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: of nurturing yourself as well, because I have mums who'll 499 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: spend hours packing the kids lunch and then they'll just 500 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: have nothing for themselves. So I like people to sit 501 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: do it at night, the night before, which links into 502 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: our chat on planning. You know, take control of the 503 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: morning and get it done the night before. Prepare the 504 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: wraps or the sushi or whatever it is you're serving 505 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,479 Speaker 1: all the leftovers in the lunch boxes for you and 506 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: the kids, and as soon as you've made yourself a 507 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: beautiful lunch. It's a way of self care, it's nurturing, 508 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: it's giving you, setting you up for a successful day. 509 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: And I always do them the night before. I just 510 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: think starting on a new day at early cracker daughter 511 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: and hoping everything's going to go to plan, so you've 512 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: got time to make a decent lunch is really hoping 513 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: for a miracle in modern life. So do it the 514 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: night before with a cup of tea or you might 515 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: be sipping on a nice glass of wine and put 516 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: them together. And there's a real art that comes in 517 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: a real self care And when you've got a beautiful present, 518 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: beautiful presented lunch to look at and eat and look 519 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: forward to having, suddenly trition is easy because you've got 520 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: the balance as opposed to going to a dodgy food 521 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: called or cafe paying twenty bucks for a lunch that's 522 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: not even great, doesn't taste that well good, and it's 523 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: not ideal nutritionally. So big fan of the adult lunch 524 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 1: boxes and for inspiration, we've got them on our instas. 525 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: Will put another one on the Nutrition Couch Instagram because 526 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: there's so much food inspiration out there. And then it 527 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: comes down to action and planning to actually do it. 528 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm a massive fan of aults taking their lunch. 529 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: You'll save money and you'll save calories, all right. Well, 530 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: for our final segment of the show, listener question was 531 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: something that came up via Instagram actually, and I thought, 532 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: I actually haven't talked about it before, and it's another 533 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: topic nutritionally that you and I probably do with our 534 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: clients and don't think about it. But the question was 535 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: what is carbohydrate distribution and why is it important for 536 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: fat loss? And I loved it. I thought that is great. 537 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: I actually haven't heard that spoken about before, So I 538 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: will explain it in my most eloquent of terms, and 539 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: then you can come with anything that I've missed or 540 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: not clear. So when we talk about carb high, because 541 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: carbohydrates are the primary fuel for the muscle usually unless 542 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: you're on an a strac keto plan in which carbohydrate 543 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: will be very low, and I'm hastening to say that 544 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: would be very few of our listeners land, we are 545 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: sort of operating nutritionally on carbohydrate loads. So when I'm 546 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: developing diets for my clients, the standout assessment I have 547 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: is that they have uneven amounts of carbohydrate and protein 548 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: through the day. So, for example, they start the day 549 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: heavy with toast or cereal and fruit and high carbohydrate 550 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: options and not enough protein, and then at lunch they 551 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: might have a salad without hardly any carbohydrate, so tuna 552 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: salad or something quite simple, and then of course they 553 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: get really starving in the afternoon and overeat carbohydrates, so 554 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: they have kind of this peak of carbs early, a 555 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: drop and a lull, and then they overeat all afternoon. 556 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: So one of the things nutritionally I'm always trying to 557 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: do is get what I would call an even distribution 558 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: of carbohydrates, so the serves are even through the day. 559 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: So they might have a setain amount, give a gram amount, 560 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: because it differs depending on the person. But it may 561 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: be one or two serves at breakfast, one or two 562 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: serves at lunch, one serve in the afternoon, one at dinner, 563 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: which might be a fat loss equation, or it might 564 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: be you know, three serves at breakfast, two at lunch, 565 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: depending on the energy requirements of that client. Now, even 566 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: carbohydrate distribution, or at least a distribution that tapers at night, 567 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: in my experience, supports weight control, and it would support 568 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: weight control because it helps insulin, which is the primary 569 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: regulator of glucose and fat metabolism, be controlled. So when 570 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: we have different loads of carbohydrate, you have different secretion 571 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: of insulin from the pancreas and that potentially drives appetite 572 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: and overeating. So that's the theory behind putting an even 573 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: distribution of carbohydrate, and that's in theory for me why 574 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: it's important for fat loss and one of the key 575 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: things I'm always working on with my clients, which is 576 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: why I'm very, very fussy with bread types. And for example, 577 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: I had a client this morning who has cut out 578 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: all the carbon, choosing protein breads, but it's actually gone 579 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: too low and she's not losing body fat because their 580 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: carbs are too low. So it is very important because 581 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 1: it helps to regulate appetite, likely secondary to insulin response 582 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: in the body. Does that make sense? 583 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,959 Speaker 2: But I'm like you, I see people eating well, like 584 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with what they're eating, the choices that 585 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: they're making, but the proportions and the distribution is off. 586 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 2: And so many women just do a leafy green salad 587 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 2: with a tina tuna for lunch and then they hit, 588 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 2: you know, three pm, and they're like, oh, my goodness, 589 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 2: give me the chocolate, right, and it's like those cravings 590 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 2: are out of control. So, as you said, carbo hydrates 591 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: are extremely important for most of us in every meal, 592 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 2: but the amount will differ depending on the height of 593 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 2: the body weight, the energy distribution that we're having all 594 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 2: the exercise, or the type that we're doing as well. 595 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 2: So it's really not something that we can give a 596 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 2: blanket recommendation for because all of our listeners are so different. 597 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm six foot one, I'm still breastfeeding, and 598 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 2: I'm working out in the gym, and i do ten 599 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 2: thousand steps a day, so a lot more, you know, 600 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 2: my higher requirements than some of our other listeners. So 601 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 2: it's not something we can to say everybody should have 602 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 2: X amount of carbohydrate at a meal. But you're right, 603 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 2: there are so many low carb products out there, and 604 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: we do love some of those protein breads, we've reviewed 605 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 2: them before, but you're right there's some of them are 606 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 2: you know, six grams of carbs per size, and if 607 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 2: we're putting something like some fat on their like some 608 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: avocados and pinut butter, we're just not getting the amount 609 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 2: of carbohydrate that's needed. Particularly if we've woken up and 610 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 2: we've worked out really hard in the morning, then we're 611 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 2: basically having a very minimal carbohydrate breakfast. So I think 612 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 2: it's really important for our listeners to understand that carbohydrates 613 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: are important, the even spread or distribution of them throughout 614 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 2: the day is important, and also the type of carbohydrate 615 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 2: is important too. And sometimes I say to my listeners, 616 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 2: like we've talked about before, if you want to have 617 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 2: a snack after dinner, if you want to have something 618 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 2: sweet working in as part of your day. So sometimes 619 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 2: I'll say to my clients, all right, let's have just 620 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 2: some salmon and some veggies or some chicken salad for dinner, 621 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 2: and then we can have some chocolate, or then we 622 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: can have some fruit or something after dinner. So it's 623 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 2: okay to do that sort of have a dinner and 624 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 2: a dessert as long as there is some sort of 625 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 2: carbohydrate in the night portion for the majority of people. 626 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. And I do count, you know, 627 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: in terms of should be counting cabs. I don't like 628 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: people to count carvers because I feel like it then 629 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: gets them to be controlling their appetitle food intape based 630 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: on their head and not their body. And that's another 631 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: thing I've written down head versus body hunger. But it 632 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: can be useful to have a rough idea of how 633 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: much carbohydrate is in food. So, for example, two small 634 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: sizes of a dense grain bread will have say twenty 635 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: twenty four grams of carbohydrate. Now two slices of sour 636 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,959 Speaker 1: dough that still grain can have up to sixty grams 637 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: of carbohydrates, so double for still two slices of bread. 638 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: So a quick scan of carbohydrates per serve, not sugars, 639 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: total carbs perserve and a rough idea is about twenty 640 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,479 Speaker 1: to thirty is probably good for a fatless plan, and 641 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: then people who aren't losing fat or have high energy 642 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,959 Speaker 1: devines might be up to you know, forty five sixty 643 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: grams or three or four serves, but yeah, one or two, three, 644 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, in the first half of the day and 645 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,239 Speaker 1: then lightning it at night. Is a rough idea, but 646 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: certainly a quick scan of food products will tell you 647 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: a lot. So for example, ten rice crackers has got 648 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: almost thirty grams of carbohydrate, that is more than two 649 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: slices of bread. So being aware of the extremely dense 650 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: sources of carbohydrate can be really helpful. You know, a 651 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: cup of white rice forty five grams equivalent of almost 652 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: four slices of bread. So it's not that foods are 653 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: good or bad, it's just the density of them, and 654 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: particularly when it comes to carbohydrates, it's relevant, particularly if 655 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: you're inactive. So we want to give you the best 656 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: quality bread that's got some carbohydrate, but not double the 657 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: varieties of others. So that's kind of what we are doing. 658 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: And I think a quick scan of total carbohydrate Perserve 659 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: can tell you a lot about the foods you're buying 660 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: and might skew some of your choices away from things 661 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: that are particularly dense, things like the Turkish bread and 662 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: the jumbo sour dough slices and the two minute noodles 663 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: and the processed rice crackers, things that are very very 664 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: easy to overeat and giving you a truckload of carbohydrate 665 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: at any one meal. 666 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 2: I've actually got the perfect example of that because my 667 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 2: sister sent me something she found in the Siep market, 668 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 2: and the funny thing was, I found it the day 669 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 2: before you picked it up, looked at the nuitition and 670 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 2: was like, oh no, no, no, one put it back, 671 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 2: and she bought it, and she's like, you're so proud 672 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 2: of me. Look, I found these awesome sado bases. And 673 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 2: she's generally super healthy, but she's got a toddler, so 674 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 2: she just like picked it up and ran home and 675 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 2: didn't really even have a chance to read it. And 676 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 2: she sent it to me and I was like, have 677 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 2: a look at the carbohydrate on that label. So this 678 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 2: is a pizza bas there's sado pizza bases, and we 679 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 2: know that sado for you got health is wonderful because 680 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 2: you're getting that nice fermentation. Sado is one of my 681 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 2: favorite types of bread, particularly mixed grain one. This is 682 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: a stone baked Soado basis. But when you actually look 683 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 2: in small print on the packaging, it's a Turkish bakery, 684 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 2: so it's made sort of using that Turkish base, which 685 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 2: we know, Susie, you are not a fan off one 686 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 2: of the servings. So there's four servings per pack. But 687 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 2: if I'm being entirely honest, I would easily eat half 688 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 2: of that pizza. It's not an overly large base. The 689 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 2: normal human if they're not eating the entire pizza base, 690 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 2: they're eating at least half. So there's forty seven grams 691 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 2: of carbohydrate per serving. We're talking over ninety grams of 692 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 2: carbohydrate in only half of that pizza. That is a 693 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 2: massive whack of carbohydrate. And I can promise you this 694 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 2: is one of those health Halo products where you would 695 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 2: look at the front of the label and think stone 696 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 2: baked sado pizza bases, whiopy, I'm onto a winner here, 697 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 2: grab it, run home, and not understanding how much of 698 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 2: a load of carbohydrate you're actually taking in, not to 699 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 2: mention a pretty good whack of calories too by the 700 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 2: time you add your cheese. Some people add salami or 701 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 2: you know, cabana or something like that to the pizza 702 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 2: as well, and then load it up with some veggies 703 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 2: as well. Just the protein and the cheese added to 704 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 2: that is a very very energy dense dinner, you know, 705 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 2: not to mention a carbohydrate dense one as well. So 706 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 2: I thought that was a really nice example, and my 707 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 2: sister was like, oh wow, I'm not gonna buy these again. 708 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 2: And my favorite one is not too similar. So I 709 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 2: like a sometimes a really crunchy bread roll. So at 710 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 2: Baker's Delight they used to have these ones pana dikazi 711 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 2: like bread rolls, And in the day I would get 712 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 2: it and I would take all that white middle out 713 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 2: and I'd put red salmon, which I love with some 714 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: feada and it just was my favorite sandwich. But so 715 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: sometimes if I'm in the woolies. They'll have like the 716 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 2: fresh or even colors have got the same, the very 717 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 2: fresh bread our dough rolls and they're like crunchy and delicious. Anyway, 718 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: I found this one at our local Metro Willies and 719 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 2: I had a look at the label. 720 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: It was eighty grams of carbohydrate in this bread roll 721 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: or was king a heart attack? Like, I was like, 722 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: oh my god, like that's like the entire daily calor 723 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: carb requirement almost. 724 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 2: And four slices of bread. 725 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: The ones I used to buy, I didn't have the 726 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: label and I didn't know whereas this. I was like, 727 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: oh my god, like that is so dense, like that 728 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: is six slices of bread, Like, oh my god, almost died. 729 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: So even though things can look healthy, they can be 730 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: really dense in energy, which is great if you're about 731 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: to run a marathon. Not so good if you're about 732 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,719 Speaker 1: to sit down and podcast for two hours. So there 733 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: you exactly. 734 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're a crossfitter or you know, go for gold, yes, 735 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 2: But if you have a desk job, different struggle steal 736 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 2: a quick scan. If it's over thirty forty grams of carbohydrate, 737 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 2: perserve it's on the high side. So just if you're 738 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 2: not aware of I would say yeah and something. 739 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: You just said that you're six foot. I just had 740 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: a conversation with my good friend.

I said, oh no, I'm not wearing 743 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: any sneakers when I'm on a stage with lean. So 744 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: I just put it out there. You are to wear 745 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: flats and I am wearing high shoes. That's just how 746 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: it's going to roll.
