1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Do you know how many calories you need or how 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: many of the body actually needs? Do we eat far 3 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: too many? Or should we consuming all of our calories 4 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: for survival mode only? This week, Rebel Wilson has had 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: a lot to say about calories in the media, and 6 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: as it turns out, we have a lot to say 7 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: about her claims as well. Hi, I'm Leanne Ward and 8 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 1: I'm Cuzzi Burrow and welcome to the Nutrition Catch, the 9 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: biweekly podcast that keeps you up to date on everything 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: that you need to know in the world of nutrition 11 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: as well as calories. Today we dive deeper into using 12 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: Ozenbeak to support weight loss and discuss the pros and 13 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: cons of this drug, and our listener question is one 14 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: for all the runners out there, particularly if you like 15 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: longer distance running. But to kick us off today, Susie, 16 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: there was a very interesting article in the Daily Mail 17 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: from an Aussie actress who I quite like Rebel Wilson, 18 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: but after reading this some of her articles and comments 19 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: around calories, I have to say I'm not really a fan. 20 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: So essentially the headline of the media article was Rebel 21 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: Wilson claims that people only need to eat six hundred 22 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: calories a day after following a week long detox at 23 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: a retreat. So I have quite a lot to say 24 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: about this, so bear with me. But we do know 25 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: that in the past year or so, Rebel Wilson has 26 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: lost quite a lot of weight. I think it's been 27 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: documented about thirty kilos to date, so she's. 28 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 2: Lost a lot. 29 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: So why she's going and checking herself into a detox 30 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: facility is beyond me. But apparently this detox facility in 31 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: Austria taught Rebel Wilson that she only needed to consume 32 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: six hundred calories a day and it was more than 33 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: enough as opposed to what most people feel about. Fifteen 34 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: hundred to two thousand calories is what most people think 35 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: that they need. However, the comments were met with quite 36 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: a lot of backlash. As you can imagine, like six 37 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: hundred calories a day, most toddlers eat more than that, 38 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: most small children eat more than that. Adults, certainly from 39 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: a metabolic perspective, need to be eating more than that. 40 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: So the comments are met with quite a lot of backlash. 41 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: And then she did clarify that this was for detox 42 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: purposes only and she doesn't calory count within her daily routine. 43 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: So I don't like how this some you know, really 44 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: specific quotes in this article, and Rebel said, I just 45 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: actually completed a program where I learned all about food 46 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: and they taught me that I actually don't need as 47 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: many calories as you think. And I just think this 48 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: is really important as to like where you get your 49 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: advice from. Just because you check into what a machinery 50 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: is going to be a very very expensive medical spa 51 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: and retreat in Austria doesn't mean that the advice that 52 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: they're giving people is evidence based or based on science, 53 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: which is the scariest part. And then somebody as influencial 54 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: as her gets online and says that, you know, I 55 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: don't need to be consuming anywhere near as many calories 56 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: as what I thought, and consumes roughly what a quarter, 57 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: a fifth and eighth of what a standard adult should 58 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: probably consume. So it's pretty scary. And I mean, we 59 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: don't need to detox either. We have a healthy functioning 60 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: kidney and liver. The body will do all of the 61 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: detoxing for us, so there's no reason that we need 62 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: to detox. We need to cut significant things out of 63 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: our diet or drop our calories so low they were 64 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: actually going to do a disservice to our metabolism and 65 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: long term So I'm not a fan of this. I'm 66 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: not a fan that she's speaking like it was like 67 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: medical advice or anything like that, and I think that 68 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: this article is going to do far more harm than good. 69 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: So I wanted to call it out and just say, 70 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: I really hope that none of our listeners, after listening 71 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: to us for I'm sure quite some time, would ever 72 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 1: do anything like this at all. But I just think 73 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: it's crazy how in twenty twenty three it's still being 74 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: spoken about and publicized on like the front page of 75 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: the Daily Mail. 76 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 3: True, I'm like you, I have a fair bit to 77 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: say and to be honest, so I don't disagree with 78 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 3: her that we need far more, far less calories when 79 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 3: we think. 80 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: I kind of agree with that. 81 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 3: But giving a specific measure of a grossly inadequate calorie 82 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: intake of six hundred per day is highly irresponsible. You 83 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 3: know how I feel about the eight hundred calorie diets 84 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: for a start, let alone six hundred. So to give 85 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 3: our listeners an idea of what six hundred calories is, 86 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: let's just double check the massly and just run your 87 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 3: eye over this. But it would be an egg in 88 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 3: the morning and maybe a small coffee. It would be 89 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 3: a plane salad for lunch, maybe with a small fifty 90 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: grand piece of chicken breast, and it would be a 91 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: veggie suit for dinner. Like we are talking about a 92 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 3: very very small amount of food. Now, someone who is 93 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: literally in a coma in the hospital, lying down at 94 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 3: a bare minimum will need a thousand, probably closer to 95 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 3: twelve hundred calories, So that is less than a half. 96 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 3: It's basically would be severe starvation. And indeed, diets like 97 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: the hCG diet is five hundred calories. Of course, we've 98 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 3: spoken before about the eight hundred calorie plants bruce around 99 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 3: the world, and I have nothing but issues with them, 100 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 3: because people who are able to follow them or restrict 101 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: calories to that extent inevitably lose a significant out of 102 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: muscle mass as soon as they eat normally. Again, they 103 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: tend to binge eat. It's not sustainable for the average 104 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: person because most importantly, and it forgets that people like 105 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: to eat, and it's okay to nourish your body and 106 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 3: enjoy food and not be kind of constantly restrict and 107 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 3: eat to that level. So, you know, I think it's 108 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 3: highly highly irresponsible and really important that people know that 109 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 3: calories are about fueling and nourishing the body to do 110 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 3: what it's meant to do. And when colories are grossly inadequate, 111 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 3: you are not getting the key nutrients. You'll be wasting 112 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 3: muscle mass, which is our metabolically active tissue. Inevitably when 113 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 3: clients are actively restricting calories, and we've spoken about that 114 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: in terms of general restriction of just you know, twelve 115 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: fourteen hundred, the mind games that can play when people 116 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 3: feel deprived, particularly when they've had a lifelong relationship with 117 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 3: diets and restriction, and as I said, it just constantly 118 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 3: makes people feel guilty about eating. 119 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: That's what I took from her article that we should 120 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: all feel. 121 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 3: Guilty about eating it all, and if you want to 122 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 3: eat more than six hundred, you're just a pig and 123 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 3: should feel bad about it. So I think it's you know, 124 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 3: of course people click on it because it does well online, 125 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: but just six No one can survive on six hundred 126 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: calories and overtime metabolic rate will reduce. And yeah, I 127 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: think it's a really really negative issue and it's really 128 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 3: disappointing to be honest, to see someone who's not qualified 129 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: giving such specific information. Now in defense of her she 130 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 3: may have been misquoted. You know, we can't always trust 131 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 3: media organizations to be claiming exactly what was set, but 132 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: certainly anything that's advising people that we only need six 133 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 3: hundred calories a day is scientifically incorrect and dangerous. 134 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: I think for the bulk of people. 135 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 3: And I think in my first comment, I find people 136 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 3: have difficulty coming back from two thousand calories a day. 137 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 3: You know, in a previous episode, we just talked about 138 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 3: how a standard uber eats bill of fourteen hundred galleries, Like, 139 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 3: I find most of my clients really struggle. They might 140 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 3: be able to do low calorie or even calorie controlled 141 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: at twelve fourteen hundred for a day or two, but 142 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: most of us struggle to keep it control in a 143 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 3: life in which there's a lot of food and large 144 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: portions and alcohol and all the things, because human beings 145 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: do get great amount of satisfaction from eating and food. 146 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm with you. It's a really bad message. 147 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 3: And yeah, any diet for me that's less than even 148 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 3: a thousand, twelve hundred calories. Certainly for the women that 149 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 3: I'm working with. They need their energy, and they are 150 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: busy people, and they need to nourish their body. 151 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: Certainly, And I mean, maybe that's why they check you 152 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: into it. You know, I don't know how many days 153 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: it is, but you know, a medical spa retreat because 154 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: there's literally nothing. 155 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: Else on office. 156 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: So because I really don't think that most people could 157 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: stick to anywhere close to six hundred calories, myself included, 158 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: i'd sneeze and inhale six hundred calories and a heartbit. 159 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: But I think the funny part about this article, well 160 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: not the funny part, but the serious part about this 161 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: article I could, I should probably say, is that Wilson 162 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: was quoted saying that she has some quite bad habits 163 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: around eating, and she admitted that she was a bit 164 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: of an emotional eater, with her cheap food being ice cream. 165 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: So she struggles with emotional eating. And I just think 166 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: that's one way to really make that so much worse 167 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: is when you restrict yourself so much more, A lot 168 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: of the non hungry and the emotional eating tends to 169 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: be ten times more. So I feel like when we're 170 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: putting such low calorie advice out there in the public. 171 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: It's only going to feel things like disordered eating. So 172 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: we love your rebel, but it's not from us on 173 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: the nutrition Cash. 174 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. All right. 175 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 3: Well, it leads into our next topic of the weekly 176 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,239 Speaker 3: and it's not unrelated because if anyone has a history 177 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: of type two diabetes or install resistance, or had been 178 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 3: previously prescribed or suggested that the medication ozen Peak may 179 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 3: be an option for them, you may have noticed it's 180 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 3: pretty freely available now. It sort of went from having 181 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 3: no availability back in February March and then every second 182 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 3: client is talking about it, they might have it now. 183 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 3: The first thing I will say is that ozen Peak 184 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 3: and the semi glue Tide group of drugs which concludes 185 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 3: were go v A very specific medications. So they're actually 186 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 3: not weight loss medications. They are glucose regulation medications, and 187 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 3: we're originally designed for people who had type two diabetes 188 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 3: or glucose regulation issues. So this is the group of 189 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 3: people whose blood glucose levels are elevated. 190 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 2: They might have diabetes, they might have pre diabetes. 191 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 3: And this new class of medication is revolutionary because it 192 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 3: encourages the pancreas to produce more insulince, so targeting one 193 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 3: of the underlying problems leading to diabetes and secondary has 194 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 3: a very strong appetite and hibitry effect through the molecule itself, 195 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: so it works in two ways. So that is very 196 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 3: different to met Foreman, which is a medication that works 197 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 3: in the cell as opposed to encouraging the pancreas to 198 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 3: work harder, so really change diabetes management and even insulin 199 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: resistant management. The reason that they work and are associated 200 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 3: with weight loss is the appetite and hebertry effect is 201 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 3: most for most people, very strong. 202 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 2: So if you're someone who. 203 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 3: Secondary to insulin resistance or PCOS is constantly hungry and 204 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 3: really struggles to stick to a calorie controlled diet because 205 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 3: you're constantly feeling like you're not satisfied and searching for food, 206 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 3: and anyone listening who has that issue will straight away 207 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 3: resonate because it's a very distinct, just unsatisfied feeling. And 208 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 3: basically these medications they make you not hungry at all, 209 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: you don't want to think about food. But also they 210 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: may even cause a bit like a morning sickness nausea, 211 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 3: so they really turn you off eating. For one of 212 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 3: a better description, which is there's pros and colons to that. 213 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 3: Now lean for every one client of mine who has 214 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 3: been on oz and peak, I would have three or 215 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 3: four for whom it does not work. And I just 216 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 3: wrote an article about this on news dot com dot au. 217 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: And the reason that it doesn't work, there's probably what 218 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 3: we'll find is there's genetic differences in some people and 219 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 3: for those people it may not just work because. 220 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: That happens with medication. It works for some people are 221 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: not for others. 222 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 3: So I think we will find that and it will 223 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: become more specific as we advance in these medications. But 224 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 3: if you are a client who eats through regardless, So 225 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 3: for example, the typical client on ozen peak a low 226 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 3: dose point two five, very low, and I prefer to 227 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: start clients low and then use dart and exercise with them, 228 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 3: will have their appetite smashed by I reckon about half. 229 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 3: My average client would be eating about a thousand calories. 230 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 3: Now that's not a prescription that is purely responding to 231 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 3: the appetite and hebitary effect of the ozen peak. 232 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 2: It's doing its. 233 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 3: Job basically, so all of a sudden they can be 234 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 3: diet compliant. They can eat a very tight, calorie controlled diet. 235 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 3: We really focus on it being high in protein, which 236 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: is really important. If you're on ozin Peak, you work 237 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 3: with a dietician to maximize its benefits, and you basically 238 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 3: exercise to improve metabolic efficiency, so you improve your body's 239 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 3: ability to burn calories long term. But people who get 240 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 3: the script online they might not have pre diabetes or 241 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 3: sugar regulation issues. They just want it follow the weight 242 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 3: loss effects, and certainly the es and suburbs of Sydney 243 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 3: it's rife. 244 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 2: So they take the medication. 245 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 3: They don't improve their exercise, so they're not improving metabolic efficiency. 246 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 2: They don't eat for a while, but then they still 247 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 2: go out on the. 248 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 3: Weekend and binge wines, fast food restaurant meals, and so 249 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 3: whilst they might lose a little bit of weight, it's 250 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 3: not the twenty thirty kilos actually want to lose because 251 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 3: they haven't improved their underlying habits. And then they say 252 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 3: the ozen Peak doesn't work, or they keep putting the 253 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 3: dose up. It's not targeting the issue. To get the 254 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 3: most out of ozen Peak, you have to commit just 255 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 3: as equally to diet and exercised one to make sure 256 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 3: you're not losing a huge amount of muscle mass, which 257 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 3: is the other issue with losing weight quickly. You will 258 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 3: absolutely be wasting muscle mass and fat mass, so you 259 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 3: look saggy and you won't become metabolically fitched. 260 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 2: So you'll lose the weight, but as soon as you 261 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: eat normally. 262 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 3: Again, you'll put it all back on plus some because 263 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 3: you're actually I don't want to swear badly on here, 264 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 3: but it's really stuffing around with your metabolism long term. 265 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 2: And I see it. 266 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 3: I see all these saggy people and they've lost all 267 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 3: the weight, but they've lost a huge amount of muscle mass, 268 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 3: and then they can't keep losing weight or the weight 269 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: goes on back quickly because you can't take ozen Peak forever. 270 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 3: There's risks associated with it, you know. I've got some 271 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 3: GPS checking thyroids every six weeks on ozen Peak. We've 272 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 3: gotta be really careful with these medications. There's always pros 273 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 3: and cons, so I am a fan of them for 274 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 3: the right kind of client, and I've got a beautiful 275 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 3: case study of this coming up where I really show 276 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 3: the right client. 277 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: It's a godsend. 278 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 3: But for people using it without making sure their protein 279 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 3: intake is adequate, without managing their calories, without increasing their activity, 280 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 3: it's going to do more harm than good long term. 281 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: And as I said, for every one client who has 282 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 3: worked beautifully, I reckon, I've got three or four who 283 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: does it doesn't work because they eat anyway, it doesn't matter, 284 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 3: they're not hungry, they still eat their lunch because they're 285 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 3: cue to eat. They're scared not to eat. They don't 286 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 3: like the feeling of not eating. So it's complicated, but 287 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 3: it can be really successful for some, but not for everyone. 288 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 3: And it's not inexpensively and like it's a big commitment, 289 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 3: So if you're going to commit to it, you want 290 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 3: to make sure you're really committing to dit and exercise. 291 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 3: And I'm on one of the oz and peak chat 292 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 3: groups on Facebook, and I reckon again, for everyone who's successful, 293 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,599 Speaker 3: there's three or four complaining it doesn't work, because I 294 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: guarantee you they have not looked at their diet exercise 295 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 3: and they're just wanting it to be that magic pill, 296 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: and there is always no such thing. So if you 297 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: want to use it, you've got to use it with 298 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 3: lifestyle change or eventually it will stop working at a 299 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 3: bit complete waste of money. And I promise you you'll 300 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 3: gain more weight and it will be harder next time 301 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,479 Speaker 3: to get it off because you've maucked around with your metabolism. 302 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 3: Have you had many clients with it, because I see 303 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 3: them all the time, but you don't see any. 304 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 2: Now, is all I think? 305 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: As my clients are, I don't know, potentially a little 306 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: bit longer. I I don't resistency. 307 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they all come to me, come on, come on, 308 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: we're ready to see you. And saw you out with 309 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: the open bak, but you've got to work with the 310 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 3: dietyshit or as I said, it would do more harm 311 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 3: than good. 312 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: And this affects me pretty nasty too. But it's trending 313 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: all you know, all online celebrities are taking it. They're 314 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: saying they're not, but they really are. Yes, it's a 315 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: huge range of issues, isn't there. 316 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: I have concerns, Leanne, because it's working on an organ 317 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 3: like it's stimulating the pancreas now for someone who is 318 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 3: on the verge of getting type two diabetes, and it's 319 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 3: going to stop diabetes. Fantastic, but just overworking your pancreas. 320 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: When you don't have that, I have concerns, like I 321 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: wouldn't want to be targeting an organ unless I really 322 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: had to. Let's just physiologically, like you know what I mean, 323 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 3: we should be playing with some of that stuff. You 324 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 3: are targeting an organ to work as harder. Now there 325 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 3: are risks, you know what I mean? There are risks. 326 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 3: So if the pros outweigh the cons. But unless you 327 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 3: really needed to use it like anything, I wouldn't be 328 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 3: I wouldn't be using it because you're basically targeting an organ, 329 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 3: like you don't want to wreck your organs. It's complicated 330 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 3: and as I said, I've got some GPS checking virus 331 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 3: every six weeks, So you've got to be careful with 332 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 3: this stuff. 333 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: When you start to play with organs, etc. 334 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: It's a big deal and it's a big decision, and 335 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 3: you don't want to take it lightly, and you want 336 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 3: to go in one hundred percent committed to use it 337 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 3: as it was meant to and then ween off. That's 338 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 3: why I'm so against putting the dose up and up 339 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 3: and up. What for You're just overstimulating the pancreas. Where's 340 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: the endpoint? So yeah, I think the more we talk 341 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 3: about it, the better. 342 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree, and I think that a lot 343 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: of people don't actually understand the basics of how it works, 344 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,359 Speaker 1: and I think it's just promoted online for the appetites suppressions. 345 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are being like, oh, great, 346 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: I'll take this druggle to help with weight laws because 347 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: I won't feel hungry. But as you mentioned earlier, it 348 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: can actually like if you eat through that, it's not 349 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: gonna work. And if you don't have the insular resistance 350 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: that's needed for the drug to work properly, it's not 351 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: gonna work. Well, it may work from an appetite it's 352 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: a present perspective, but it's not actually healthy long term, 353 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: and you're not taking it in the right manner either. 354 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: So lots of really important points that you know, a 355 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: lot of social media are failing to report on all right, 356 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: And then that leads us into our final segment of 357 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: the show, Susie, where we look for listener questions generally 358 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: through our Instagram, So people send through a lot of 359 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: questions and if you have sent through questions, we haven't 360 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: gotten to them. We do apologize, but we I'm gonna 361 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: say Susie get probably fifty to one hundred questions every week, 362 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: so a lot of them are quite specific, a lot 363 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: of them are quite personalized, Like we can't actually provide 364 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: personalized nutrition advice in our Instagram dms obviously, so we 365 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: sort of take a couple of broader questions that we 366 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: think might help the most people, and there's sort of 367 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: ones we work on. So there was an interesting one 368 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: this week talking about what to eat on a longer run. 369 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: So a lady was preparing for a marathon and wanted 370 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: to know what she should be eating for longer ruts. 371 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: The first thing I would say is absolutely booking with 372 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: a sports sieent Titian. If you're considering a marathon, people 373 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: have died from marathons from not training and fueling and 374 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: hydrating appropriately. It's worst case scenario, but it's a serious thing. 375 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: So you need to take your nutrition and your hydration 376 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: and your recovery seriously, particularly at that distance of running, 377 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: particularly if it's like an ultra marathon or something like that. 378 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: So I would absolutely say get some personalized advice in 379 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: terms of you're nutrition and hydration strategies, but for longer distances, 380 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: So if we're talking half marathons or longer, So you know, 381 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: anything above sort of that twenty kilometer mark, you need 382 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: to think about your nutrition in the one to two 383 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: days leading up to the event. So a lot of 384 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: people will carb load the night before. They'll have a big, 385 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: higher carb meal like a big pasta or a big 386 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: zotto or something like that, because the carbohydrates are then 387 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: stored in your muscles, and your muscles use that glycogen 388 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: stores for the energy throughout the race. But there's only 389 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: a certain amount of carbs that we can store in 390 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 1: our muscles. So generally speaking, anything over about that sixty 391 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: to ninety minute mark, if you're going to continue to run, 392 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: if you're tapping out after ninety minutes, so you're tapping 393 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: it out after sixty minutes, you may or may not 394 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: be okay. But most people, generally, if you're still running 395 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: after that sixty to a ninety minute mark, will need 396 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: a little top up because the body is kind of 397 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: depleted its stores of carbohydrate. So thinking about sort of 398 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: the day leading up to the event, particularly if you 399 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: have a more sensitive tummy, you would want to reduce 400 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: the fiber load and reduce the fat load of things. 401 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: If you're going to have a big passing meal the 402 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: night before in carb load, that's great. But if it's 403 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: going to be a heavy cream, bacon based pasta and 404 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: you get a little bit of sort of gas show 405 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: or a little bit of ibs or something like that, 406 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: it's not going to be a great meal to be 407 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,719 Speaker 1: running a marathon with the next day. And I had 408 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: a friend, Zuzie, that signed up for her first marathon 409 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: and her and her family had tie the night before, 410 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, man, if you'd only just 411 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: talked to me. She had to stop six times in 412 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: that marathon to either go use a public toilet or 413 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: just go in the bush somewhere because it just went 414 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: straight through her. 415 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 2: So it's awful. 416 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: So you don't want to have fat, and you definitely 417 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: don't want anything that's like spicy or fully flavored or 418 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: anything like that the sort of the day before. I 419 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: would say, so in early morning race you want to 420 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: be thinking about you know, some of these marathons can 421 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: start at you know, six am or even before, so 422 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: you want to get your nutrition in the night before 423 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: really have a low five a low fat, high carb 424 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: type meal, and then about one to two hours before 425 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: the race, you want something light, So a light kind 426 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: of carbohydrate based snack plus or mine is just a 427 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: very small amount of fat. So think about like maybe 428 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: a chocolate flavored milk or a music bar, a little 429 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: bit of a peanut butter or honey on toast, maybe 430 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: a crumpet with a banana, maybe a little bit of 431 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: cream rice, whatever you tend to tolerate. Don't eat new 432 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: foods the day before a race. And this is even 433 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: with training as well. Once you're training, probably past that 434 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: kind of fifteen kilometer mark, most people who are training 435 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: for marathons will do one long run a week. That's 436 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: probably where you would want to have something like a 437 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: smaller sized snack about one to two hours before you're racing. Now, 438 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: if you're going for your long run later in the afternoon, 439 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: you'd probably want a larger, more carb heavy meal about 440 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: three to five four hours. So it might be a 441 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: big bowl of pode with some milk and fruit. It 442 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: might be like a rice or a pass the based dish. 443 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: It might be a big sandwich or a roll with 444 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: a bit of chicken and just a little bit of 445 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: light salad, or a big smoothie or something like that, 446 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: which is gonna be really easy tolerated. So basically, the 447 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: longer you run for the sooner you'll have to kind 448 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: of top yourself up, well, not the sooner, but the 449 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: more you'll have to top yourself up during that race. 450 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: So you kind of want roughly on average, about thirty 451 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: to sixty grams of carverhydrate per hour, and this helps 452 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: to prevent the muscle fatigue. It helps to top you 453 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: up in terms of the energy that's needed for the race, 454 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: and it also helps maintain things like cognition as well. 455 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: If you've ever seen those videos, I remember when I 456 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: did my sports sitetic degree City, they showed us it 457 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: must have been like marathon sponsored by Gatorade or something, 458 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: because it came up with Gatorade or Powerade as a sponsor, 459 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: and it was like people who would like the finish 460 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: line was right there, and these people hadn't fueled appropriately, 461 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: hadn't eaten appropriately, and it was like they were drunk, 462 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: like they couldn't It was like they were crawling to 463 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: the finish line. They were wobbling all over the place 464 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: like they just had absolutely nothing left in the tank 465 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: and whatever their last sort of bar or jel or drink, 466 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: they just obviously couldn't get it down for whatever reason, 467 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: or they'd skip that last aid station and they were 468 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: so close to the line yet they just couldn't make it. 469 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: And that's where things can go horribly wrong, particularly in 470 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: the later parts of a marathon, where you're so fatigued 471 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: that actually getting down appropriate nutrition and fluid can be 472 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,479 Speaker 1: really really difficult. So using things like sports drinks like 473 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: proper Gatorade or Powerade or something like that, not the 474 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: low sugar varieties, like you actually want the sugar in 475 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: there to provide the carbohydrate, that can be really helpful 476 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: in the later stages of runs as well. Sure, things 477 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: like gels and choes and sports bars can be great, 478 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: but if you're running a fairly long distance and you're 479 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: not conditioned to using those things, they can actually be really, 480 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: really difficult to get down. I have a friend who 481 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: has been running marathons for a couple of years. In 482 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: the first few that she did, she never trained with 483 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: bars and gels, yet her trainer recommended that's what she 484 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: have in the last fifteen kilometers, and she couldn't get 485 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 1: them down and she couldn't finish the race. She just 486 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: tapped out thing left to give. So it's really important 487 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: that what you plan on using in your race you 488 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: actually train with and make sure you can tolerate as well. 489 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think you've described it really well. Even 490 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 3: for long chaining runs. Really it's what you've had the 491 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 3: night before is going to have the biggest benefit. So 492 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 3: making sure that's a higher car meal like a pasta noodles. 493 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 3: You certainly don't want to go meet in veggies. If 494 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 3: you're about to run twenty k's on Sunday morning, people 495 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 3: will differ, you know, if you can't tolerate a slice 496 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 3: of toast before you run and then you get to 497 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 3: that sixty ninety minute mark and you need to top up, 498 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 3: some of my ghoshus will just be something like a 499 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 3: sports drink, maybe a plane kind of musically bar quite 500 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 3: a process one like a fruit type twist or a 501 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 3: fruit roll up. But in my experience with runners, a 502 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 3: lot of it is a prep time and you're much 503 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 3: better to load up the night before and sort of 504 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: go light on your tummy unless you get into two 505 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 3: three hour runs where you might sort of have factor 506 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 3: in a whitebread sandwich as you go. 507 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a lot to do with that. Going 508 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 2: in with plenty of. 509 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 3: Fuel on board, and if you can top it up 510 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 3: before you run or sort of by the time you 511 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: get to that ninety minutes, something very light and really 512 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 3: sports drinks should get you through unless you're running for 513 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 3: another couple of hours. 514 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And if you're doing things like you know Trithlon, 515 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: where there's a run leg and a swim leg and 516 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: a bike leg, it's the hardest to get stuff down 517 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: during the run leg. And obviously you're not going to 518 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: be eating a musical bike when you're swimming. So the 519 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: what's the old age saying, Susie nutrition is one on 520 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: the bike, so make sure you take the opportunity. 521 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 3: I say nutritions and a triathon is one on the 522 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 3: bike one hundred. 523 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, actually take the opportunity on the bike to really 524 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: be fueling and hydrating appropriately because you just don't have 525 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: the opportunity obviously in the water, and the opportunity while 526 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: you're running is very minimal as well. It's a lot 527 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: harder to get things down. So if you're doing an 528 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: event where it's a longer duration event and you are 529 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: doing a combination of some legs, take the opportunity in 530 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: the bike to really get your nutrition right and if 531 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: you are doing a marathon and your plan is to 532 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: have a couple of lollies or something like that, always 533 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: take a back up because when you're running in your fatigue, 534 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: it's so easy to drop your gel or drop your lolly, 535 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: and if you're only taken one, it can be the 536 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: difference between you actually finishing the race or not. So 537 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: a couple of little tips for our runners out there, 538 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: and that brings us to the end of the Nutrition 539 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: Couch for another week.
