Are some types better 9 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: than others? And how much is too much? Each day? 10 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: Today we take a closer look at the substance that 11 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: makes our life a whole lot sweeter and our client 12 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: case study is on bariatric surgery. We talk about the 13 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: dietary implications and nutritional implications to be aware of if 14 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: you've had one or if you're considering bariatric surgery. Our 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: product review is on a wonderful new veggie cauliflower rice 16 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: that we found and Susie, I know that you love 17 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: this one. And our listener question is on protein balls. 18 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: Are they healthy? Can we eat them each day? And 19 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: what makes us choose a better one? But to get 20 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: a started this week, thought I would give you guys 21 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: a little bumpy update. Susie, we are what are we 22 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: thirty two weeks heading into week thirty three. So guys, 23 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: we are getting on. It's summer. It's hot up in Brisbane. 24 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: I must admit I'm feeling a little bit puffy, Susie, 25 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: and a little bit breathless. Like I always thought, I'm 26 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: not going to be that person that gets breathless or 27 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: get you know, that gets a bit puffy. But guys, 28 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: I'm here, We're there. 29 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 3: We're still got a month or two two to go. 30 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: I've got one word. I've got two words for you. 31 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: Beetroot juice. 32 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have heard that. Yeah. 33 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 2: So with twins, I was very puffy, understandably, and particularly 34 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: my legs in the second half of the day. So 35 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 2: as my blood pressure started to go a little bit 36 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 2: up at the end just because of the enormous load, 37 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: I found beetroot juice really handy. So instead of a coffee, 38 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: which I sort of went off, I had a beettroot 39 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: juice each morning. 40 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 3: So I can tell you that. 41 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: But I think it's a great excuse for a little 42 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: daily nap, to be honest, to put those legs up. 43 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: But again, you know you're up there. It is warm. 44 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 2: I have no doubt it's not the easiest hauling around 45 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: that bump at the moment. But you know, it's also 46 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: a really nice time. So rest while you can, my love, 47 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: rest why you can? 48 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, I have to go find my blunder 49 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: and make up some beetroot juice. That sounds great, But 50 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: I still haven't packed my hospital bags. Everyone's like you 51 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: should do it early. I'm like, i'll get there, So listeners, 52 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: if you have any tips on what I should be 53 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: putting into my hospital bag, please send us a DM 54 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: and let me know. But Zuzie, what was the big 55 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: one or two recommendations you had for your hospital bag? 56 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,119 Speaker 2: Well, tell you a silly story. I was like so excited, 57 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: you know, the first were the only babies, and I 58 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: packed like the kitchen sinkly and like I took a kettle. 59 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: I took so much stuff it was actually embarrassing. And 60 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: then I moved from a smaller room to a slightly 61 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: larger room the day after, and I sent Chris packing 62 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: with it all because I was so embarrassed with how 63 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 2: much stuff I actually took. So I think go for 64 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: the sort of the lighter plan the hospitals have tea. 65 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: You don't need to take your own kettle. I thought, oh, 66 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: I'd like to be having, you know, my tea in 67 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: my own cup, Like just the most ridiculous thoughts. Oh, 68 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I think I found most helpful. 69 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: I didn't want to be in the hospital in my pajamas. 70 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: So I took these great dresses, which are just those 71 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: ones that just strapless, so straight over the boobs and 72 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: just fell down. So not only was it perfect for 73 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: someone I had a cesarean, but meant when you start 74 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 2: to breastfeed, I didn't have to stuff around with the 75 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: top and you're up there it's so warm. 76 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 3: So a little strapless summer. 77 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: Flip dress sat straight down. 78 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: It goes straight down, and I got dressed every morning 79 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 2: and I felt great. And so when people came they 80 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 2: were like, oh, you're dressed and you're up and it 81 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: made me feel really good. So I think that dress 82 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: was amazing and I literally wore it for the first 83 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: six months after the baby. So yeah, I think a 84 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: very strategic dress that's easy to get off and doesn't 85 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: sort of can hide. You can hide under it when 86 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: you're still recovering. 87 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 3: That's my top tip. 88 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: A flowy, loose dress to wear so when people come 89 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: to see you, you sort of feel good. You know, 90 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: you get dressed and because you're not sick, you know 91 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: what I mean. So that's my best tip. 92 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, love it, love it. I have to go online jopping. 93 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: And it's funny that you mentioned a kettle because I 94 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: saw a video on TikTok and a guy had brought 95 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: the air fright into the room and it was like 96 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: making his wife air fryer. I don't like chicken nuggets. 97 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: Was just something ridiculous and I just thought, Oh my god, 98 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: I can't imagine being in the headspace that I'm like, hey, babe, 99 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: can you bring in the air fright into those after birth? 100 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: But it was so funny and it went viral. It 101 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: had like a couple of juice or something, and I 102 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: just thought, oh my goodness, like, there is no room 103 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: in my hospital bag for any even though. 104 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: I love my fryer. 105 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: It's just so opposite to what you think it's going 106 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: to be like. So I was just embarrassed in hindsight. 107 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, keep it simple is my tip. They can 108 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: always bring stuff in. But yeah, a good shift dress 109 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: will go a long way in making you look glam 110 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: and feel good straight after you've had your baby, amazing, amazing. 111 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: All right, Well, to kick yourself this week? Is it? 112 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: Let's chat sugar. And I think probably the one or 113 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: two things that you and I hear all of the 114 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: time is client's saying to us, I'm eating so healthy, 115 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: I've made some wonderful changes, I'm doing so well, but 116 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: this scale just isn't budging. And you know, a lot 117 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: of people sort of go, you know, I stopped putting 118 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: what sugar in my tea and I've swapped to organic 119 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: brown sugar. I put honey in my tea instead or 120 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: instead of my porridge, adding you. 121 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 3: Know, sugar to it. 122 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: I now put maple syrup on and it's organic maple syrup. 123 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: Not having that understanding that at the most basic level, 124 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: sugar equal sugar. And I think that's an important and 125 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: a quick conversation to have, Susie, that you know, just 126 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: swapping from one form of sugar into another form of 127 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: sugar isn't necessarily going to get us that weight loss 128 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: on the scale, because sure, some of it might have 129 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: slightly different effects on our blood sugar levels, but overall, 130 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: my basic sort of recommendation for my clients is generally 131 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: always sugar equals sugar. Choose the one you want, choose 132 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: the one that's most affordable for you. But we're really 133 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: not going to get too many benefits health wise from 134 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: stopping from one form of white cane sugar to maybe 135 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: an organic honey or something like that. Are you on 136 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: the same page as me here, well? 137 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: I think the interesting thing about sugar in recent years. 138 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 3: Is that we really didn't talk about it a lot. 139 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: For probably the ten or fifteen years, it was all 140 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: about low fat, and then all of a sudden, even 141 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 2: though it was a repeat of history, we had the 142 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: eye quick sugar, anti sugar kind of movement, which became. 143 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 3: Very very specific about sugar types. 144 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: There was also a lot of talk around fructose and 145 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 2: high fructose corn syrup, which we should say is is 146 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 2: really not that not prevalent in the Australian food supply, 147 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: but it is very common in the US through their 148 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 2: soft drinks and processed snack food, and the association between 149 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 2: that it increased risk of weight gain and type two diabetes. 150 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: Since that, we've had a shift from food companies to 151 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 2: really move away from addressing sugar on labels as actual 152 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: white soucose or the sugar that we would add traditionally 153 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: to tea and coffee, to a range of other sweetness. 154 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: Now we've spoken about sweetness in the past, but when 155 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: we're talking here about basically different types of sugar, and 156 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: some of the ones you've already mentioned the rice, malt, syrup, treacle, honey, 157 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 2: a gave, you know, anything with syrup in the word, 158 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: we see it as glucose. On food labels, we see 159 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 2: it as multidextrin. So really it's been white sugar that's 160 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 2: been focused on with labels, you know, to try and 161 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: reduce the overall amount. Now, the first thing I wanted 162 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 2: to talk about was what is the recommendation for added 163 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 2: sugars in the diet, because we need to say lean. 164 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 2: There's a really big difference between naturally occurring sugars and 165 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: ones that are added and the effect of physiologically in 166 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 2: the body. So natural sugars are things like frup, toes, lactose, 167 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: and they occur naturally in things like fruit and dairy food, 168 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: so they are they're not added to the foods. Basically 169 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 2: the natural building block of energy for the body, and 170 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 2: that's what we run off. Those simple sugars which break 171 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 2: down to glucose in the body and they function quite 172 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 2: differently as part of a whole food when it comes 173 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: to metabolism and hormonal control to that of what we're 174 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: talking about here, which is added sugar in food. Now, 175 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: one of the biggest issues, which we spoke about a 176 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, was that on austrain and food 177 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: labels at the moment, not all food manufacturers will differentiate 178 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: the amount of sugar in the food that's added versus 179 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: the sugar that is naturally occurring, and there is that 180 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: big difference. I guess the take home messages from our 181 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: perspectives dietitians, one is not significantly better than the other. 182 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 3: So just because it uses. 183 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: Rice, bolk, syruit, which has had a health halo effect 184 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: for quite some time, it's. 185 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 3: Still added sugar. It's still quickly. 186 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: Digested, it is still adding no nutritive value to the food, 187 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: and basically the less of that we have in the diet, 188 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: the better. So the World Health Organization's recommendation that added 189 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: sugar is in the diet is no more than twenty 190 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: five grams or five to six tea spoons. Now, I 191 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: know that a lot of nutrition couch listeners are currently 192 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: sitting there saying, oh. 193 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 3: That's a lot. I don't have that much, but trust. 194 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: Me, most people have at least double that on a 195 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: daily basis, because if you consider that we're getting it 196 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: from our sauces, that if you have any kind of 197 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: sweet food, you're probably getting at least five grams, which 198 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: is actually really low. So even without trying, our diets 199 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: tend to be relatively high. And it's not uncommon for 200 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: me to do a calculation on kids diets land and 201 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: they're having thirty forty to fifty grams of added sugars 202 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: because we're going back and having those treats in their diet, 203 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: things like the cookies and the cakes and the muffins 204 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 2: and the banana bread, which instantly add twenty to thirty 205 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 2: grams of added sugars per serve. So the TAKEO message 206 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: is scan your ingredient list, because all of those are 207 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 2: basically added sugars. Just because it isn't sucrose or table 208 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: sugar doesn't mean that it's not sugar. It doesn't matter 209 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: that it's honey, it's still added sugar. And really all 210 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: of us should be added aiming for no more than 211 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 2: that sort of twenty five grams five to six tea spoons, 212 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 2: and if you have a sugar in your tea or 213 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 2: coffee a couple of times a day you enjoy sweet 214 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: treat and maybe some sauce, you're already getting to that level. 215 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: So a lower sugar diet is quite challenging. You sort 216 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 2: of have to have no processed food, very little added sauce, 217 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 2: because you'll be getting natural sugars anyway from dairy and 218 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 2: fruit and that's all your body needs. 219 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: And I think that a lot of people, I guess 220 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: over demonize the sugar's found in you know, natural fruits 221 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: and dairy and that sort of thing. They look at 222 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: a cup of skim milk and they think, oh my goodness, 223 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: that's so high in sugar, I can't drink it. Yet 224 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: they'll happily go and have like a cold pressed juice, 225 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: which they think, you know, has this health halo effect, 226 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: a cold press green juice which actually has about four 227 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: pieces of fruit blended and to it, which has I 228 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: don't know, thirty grams of added sugar or something like that. 229 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: So well, the thing with the juices is a good point. 230 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: I'm glad you've brought it up, because if we were saying, right, 231 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 2: if you have one hundred percent fruit juice. It's not 232 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: actually added sugar per se, it's naturally occurring. But what 233 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 2: it is, and the difference there and why we're not 234 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 2: overly big fans of juices and why they're implicated in obesity, 235 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: is that it's a concentrated form of sugar that you. 236 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 3: Would never normally consume. 237 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 2: So if you had an orange, for example, you might 238 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: get fifteen eighteen grams of sugars fructose. But when you 239 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 2: have the oranges of juice, you use three or four oranges, 240 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 2: so it's you know, triple if not quadrupling that. So 241 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 2: it's the concentration of fruit juice that differentiates it from 242 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 2: the naturally occurring sugars in the fruit itself. And that's 243 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: the same with dried fruit. And that's why so it's 244 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: a little bit different from what we're talking about. But 245 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 2: as you described, often when we're buying these juices or smoothies, 246 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 2: they're adding multiple other sugars. So they may be a 247 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: base of fruit sugar, but then there might be some 248 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 2: honey added or some fruit yogurt and all the other 249 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: additions which are adding on extra sugar as well. And 250 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 2: that's where the juices and the smoothies we buy away 251 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 2: from the home get a little bit more complicated. So yes, 252 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: when it comes to sugars, there's an issue with overly 253 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 2: concentrated sauces in natural foods as well as the added 254 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: So for example, in flavored milk, you're getting some naturally 255 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: occurring sugar, yes, but there's also added so you get 256 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 2: the double whammy. So you know, if I'm looking on 257 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: food labels leanne, I like to choose foods that have 258 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: about less than five grams of sugars per se of Now, obviously, 259 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: if I'm looking. 260 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 3: At skim milk, I'm aware that that's only natural sugar. 261 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 2: I wouldn't check that, But for anything flavored, for any sauces, 262 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 2: for any snack bars that I'm looking at, I'm looking 263 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: for less than five grams about it sugars per serve. 264 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: And I will sometimes scan that ingredient list and if 265 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: I'm seeing multiple sources of sugar in it, like often 266 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: if you look at cereals or snack bars, there'll be 267 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: the glucose syrup plus maybe a little bit of honey. 268 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: So there's several different types of sugar. And that's when 269 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: to take a step back and say, you know, what 270 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 2: that food is actually quite concentrated in sugar and probably 271 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: as a percentage of the food is quite significant. 272 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: And it brings me to I think an important point 273 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: that you mentioned, like the multiple types of sugar in 274 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: a food as well because of the health halove effect. 275 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: And I think honey's a good one because a lot 276 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: of people will go, well, you know, I've sought my 277 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 1: white sugar for honey, so it's better for you, and 278 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, it might be more quote unquote natural, but 279 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: it's still sugar. 280 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 3: For the body. 281 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: The body still has to process it and break it 282 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: down as sugar. So especially for you know, our diabetics 283 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: out there are insulin resistance people that aren't exercising. Your 284 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: body's gonna basically still have to process that the exact 285 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: same way that it processes white sugar and organic or not, 286 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter at the end of the day. 287 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: And I think the big one out there is Manuka 288 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: honey as well, Susie. I see a lot of clients 289 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: spending a lot of money like it's quite expensive. I 290 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: think you think of Monuca honey could be eight nine, 291 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: ten dollars plus and I think, really the benefits when 292 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: you draw down the research on that from a topical aspect, 293 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: so it can be really helpful in terms of wound healing, 294 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: but you've got to apply topically to the skin. So 295 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: if you're just putting your Manuka honey into your smoothie, 296 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: it's not really going to give you any added benefits, 297 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: so you should kind of just shake, you know, save 298 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: your money. Really at the end of the day, like, 299 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: there are some wonderful health benefits, but you really got 300 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: to make sure you're using the correct dose, in the 301 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: correct amount, and in the correct way, so you know, 302 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: applying that topically to the skin or the wound versus 303 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: actually just dumping that into your smoothie each morning, because 304 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: all you're doing is adding in a whole heap of 305 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: added sugar and you're just paying four times a price 306 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: for it. So I think that's probably something for our 307 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: lists to be aware of. And again another health halo 308 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: effect that we see with marketing, isn't it it is? 309 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 2: That's a really good tip, because yeah it is, and 310 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 2: you don't want to be wasting it, but you're absolutely right. 311 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 3: The one that I. 312 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,479 Speaker 2: See most commonly is the honey used is a preferential 313 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 2: and almost looked at as morally superior, and you know, 314 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it still is added sugar, 315 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 2: as is brown sugar, organic sugar, raw sugar. It's all sugar, 316 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: my friends, It's all sugar. And just a little tip 317 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: to wrap us up if you're someone who enjoys your 318 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 2: tea or coffee with a sugar. Now, I'll disclose here 319 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 2: that I like my extra hot skim latte large as 320 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: i've got older, with half a sugar, but it has 321 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 2: become half overtime, So I think the other thing is 322 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 2: we really program our brains to seek out a certain 323 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 2: amount of sweet stimulus, so you can reprogram to have none. 324 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 2: So for example, if you're having seven cups of tea 325 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: a day with half a sugar in each, it will 326 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: be easy over time to reduce that and overtime program 327 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: you to have less and less of that added sugar. 328 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: And the same with our tea and coffee. So it's 329 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 2: either reducing the total amount or weaning down over time. 330 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 2: And another tip if your barista uses liquid sugar, because 331 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: a lot of barristers will squirt it because it's easier 332 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: they don't have to muck around with spoons, but they 333 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 2: often use a whole lot more, so you can often 334 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 2: get away with a whole lot less. So be mindful 335 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: of that because all of the syrups that we order 336 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: with our coffees are also added sugars that can slip 337 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: in when your coffee or tea habit becomes quite frequent 338 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 2: through the day. 339 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: I mean mindful of chi lattes. In the very beginning, 340 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: obviously early stages of pregnancies, I couldn't stomach coffee at all, 341 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: just I was so turned off. But you know, David 342 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: will go to the coffee shop each morning and I 343 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: didn't want to miss out, so I'd be like, Oh, 344 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: get me a chi latte. I was like, these are delicious, 345 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: and I knew in my head. I was like, I 346 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: knew how bad they are. And one day I think 347 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: I looked up the one from Starbucks or something, and 348 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, my goodness, and literally I haven't 349 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: had once since. 350 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: So be mindful of your chi lattes, guys, and all 351 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 2: the smooth You're absolutely right, all of those smoothies and juices, 352 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 2: juices they can have sixty eighty grams sometimes of sugars, 353 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: So always keep in mind that twenty five in total 354 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 2: per day, or less than five grams of sugars per 355 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: serve and you'll be on the right track. So moving 356 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 2: on to something that's not actually unrelated really is that 357 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: of course, we look at all the questions we have. 358 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 3: From our our loyal listeners. 359 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: On our Instagram and our Facebook page, and there has 360 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: been a number of questions over the past couple of 361 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 2: months coming from people who have had bariatric surgery, and 362 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 2: often they're asking about specific nutritional recommendations or perhaps their 363 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: weight loss has slowed. 364 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 3: So I thought it was. 365 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: Time that we have a bit of an open discussion 366 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 2: about this now. I have worked in bariatric surgery at 367 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: two times twice in my career. First, when I was 368 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: quite young, I worked in lap bands. It would be 369 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: now more than twenty years ago, when it was quite 370 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 2: a new procedure and a lot of surgeons took it 371 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: on board as an elective option, and people suddenly would 372 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: have the band popped around the top of the stomach 373 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 2: and it would result generally in pretty quick class weight loss. 374 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: But over many years on they've sort of improved the 375 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: techniques and strategies and found better options. And then a 376 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: few years ago I worked with a bariatric surgeon who 377 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 2: primarily performed sleeve surgeries where a significant component of the 378 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 2: stomach is removed and all bypasses depending on past surgery history. 379 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 3: Now it's a really. 380 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 2: Interesting one, and again we could hold a whole show 381 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 2: on bariatric surgery. But a couple of things I wanted 382 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: to look at today was the pros and cons of it, 383 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: because I think if someone is significantly overweight, so this 384 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 2: is not something you would ever consider if you needed 385 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 2: to lose twenty here loos unless you had significant medical 386 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 2: complications that would warrant losing weight quite quickly to reverse them. 387 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 2: So for example, extreme diabetes or very fatty liver, that 388 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: was looking at other surgery options needed if someone didn't 389 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 2: lose weight very very quickly, or perhaps they're very very 390 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: immobile and can't do a lot of activity so needed 391 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: to lose a lot of weight. But in general it's 392 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: recommended for obest and morbidly obese people. There are definitely 393 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: indicators for it. There has to have a long history 394 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 2: of weight loss attempts. But I really want to stress 395 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: that the biggest misconception I've observed is the thought that 396 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 2: it will lose the weight and then it's kept off 397 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 2: and life returns to normal, which could not be further 398 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 2: from the truth. So it is a drastic, drastic operation 399 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: in which your fundamental ability to eat your food will 400 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: be changed forever because you can't grow an organ bat 401 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 2: And yes, whilst it has improved outcomes, when you look 402 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 2: at the data for significant weight loss, for just as 403 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 2: many people who achieve the thirty forty fifty kilo weight loss, 404 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 2: I would say there's just as many who lose the 405 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 2: initial twenty kilos that comes from having half of their 406 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 2: stomach removed and unable to eat large volumes of food, 407 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: but just as many who don't reach their goal weight 408 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 2: because unless you focus on your diet and exercise regime, 409 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 2: even to a greater extent than you needed to before 410 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 2: the surgery, you won't get to your goal weight. So 411 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 2: with those underlying behaviors of inactivity and overeating or binge 412 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 2: eating or eating rubbish are not resolved, you will never 413 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 2: be able to get down to that goal weight and 414 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 2: keep there. And I can tell you so many clients 415 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 2: who have lost the sixty kilos back down to sixty 416 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 2: and then you see them again five ten years later, 417 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: back up at eighty, still dealing with the same demons 418 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 2: that they had before. I'm not saying I'm against it, 419 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 2: but I'm saying I think it has to be an 420 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 2: absolutely last resort option. And as we've spoken about in 421 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 2: previous podcasts, with some very efficient endocrine medications now in 422 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 2: conjunction with good endochronologists, we can often get significant weight 423 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 2: off people who had very high blood glucose and insulin 424 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 2: levels and we never usually could and they would have 425 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 2: previously been referred for bariatric surgery because there are fundamental 426 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 2: consequences when it comes to your overall nutritional status and 427 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: the way you eat for the rest of your life. 428 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 2: So for me, it absolutely has to be a last 429 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: ditch attempt. Now I can think of five clients who 430 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 2: would never go back. They are so thrilled they've got 431 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 2: their life back. But you know, I think most people 432 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 2: sit more in that middle ground where they lose some 433 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 2: but they actually don't ever completely improve their diet and 434 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: lifestyle and exercise to really reap the full benefits. And 435 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 2: as I said, it's only ever my last resort when 436 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: it comes because I try and keep people eating and 437 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 2: enjoying their food in their life as long as I 438 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 2: can Before I would ever suggest or reckon in bariotric 439 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 2: surgery and I'm on. 440 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: The same page. And I would say most of the 441 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: clients that I used to see, I used to do 442 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: the pre screening barratic clinics and sort of follow them 443 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: through as well. We actually did some publicly funded barratric surgery, 444 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: which was a sort of a Queensland such Australia sort 445 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: of first, I believe many years ago at the hospital 446 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 1: I used to work at, and that was sort of 447 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: it was difficult because you know, when you're not really 448 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: paying for it, you're not as invested. So just the 449 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: follow up trying to get them to take their multi 450 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: vitamins was like just the amount of malnutrition I was 451 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: seeing post follow up SUSI was just it was horrendous. 452 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: But anyway, but you know, if some of them were 453 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: referred and they were young, and I am so absolutely 454 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: against anyone who is young, and I'm talking you know, 455 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,719 Speaker 1: I was referred. I was saw a sixteen year old 456 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: or a seventeen year old. I saw a couple who 457 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: are around that eighteen to twenty year old mark. And 458 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, when you're that young, you should have tried 459 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: things for many, many years beforehand. I really don't think 460 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: that it's something that our teenagers should be doing at all. 461 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: I really do think that once your mobility is really impacted, 462 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: it can be helpful for some people. But there was 463 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: no real honest conversations around it. I think it was 464 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: something that the surgeon suggested and then the clients went, great, 465 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: this is a quick and easy fix. Amazing because the 466 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: amount of times I would see people and I'd say 467 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: to them, do you understand that you know, depending on 468 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: the type of barratric surgery you had, you may never 469 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: be able to eat steak again? Do you understand that 470 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 1: you may never be able to tolerate a piece of 471 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: bread again? Do you have that understanding? Do you understand 472 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: that you will have to take multivitamins for the rest 473 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: of your life and do blood tests for the rest 474 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,959 Speaker 1: of your life depending on the type of barratic surgery 475 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 1: you have. So I think it's really important to be 476 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: one hundred percent informed. And as you said, we could 477 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: probably talk for days about barriotric surgery. But I have 478 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: had a wonderful dietitian who specializes in barratric surgery on 479 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: my podcast leand Ward Nutrition. So that's episode sixty six. 480 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: If you guys are considering it or you know I 481 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: have had it and wants more information. Episode sixty six 482 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: is on bariotric surgery on the Lean Ward Nutrition podcast. 483 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: But I think for me, it was the nutrient deficiencies 484 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: I was seeing post surgery, the fact that they couldn't 485 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: get in enough protein. So yes, they may have lost 486 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: twenty thirty kilos, but guess what happens, guys when you 487 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: lose twenty thirty forty kilos half of your body weight. 488 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: Do you have any idea how much significant loose skin? 489 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: Like you almost need another surgery to get rid of 490 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: that excess skin. And I would see, just from the 491 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: psychological aspects of it, SUSI. They would come in and 492 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: they'd say, I've lost forty kilos and that's great, but 493 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm more depressed than ever because of all this loose skin. 494 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: And they you know, they were wearing these you know, 495 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: they weren't wearing the strapless dresses on the strapless shirts, 496 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: so they thought they would be able to wear after 497 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: losing twenty thirty forty kilos. So I always, you know, 498 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: you and me a being of the opinion that the 499 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 1: slower the weight loss the better because you know, you 500 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: don't end up with that excessive amount of loose skin. 501 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: I think losing twenty thirty kilos over forty four or 502 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: five years is wonderful because you can kind of tone 503 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: and the muscle on the body can kind of get 504 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: used to that and adapt to that over time. But 505 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: twenty thirty forty kilos in three six months, you're going 506 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: to have a hell of a lot of excess skin. 507 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: So some of the body image issues that go with 508 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: that as well. You know, as you said, clients weren't happy. 509 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: They were they were more unhappy after losing thirty forty 510 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: kilos than they were plus thirty forty kilos. So I 511 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: think the long term follow up from a dietitian absolutely, 512 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 1: and from a psychologist absolutely, and even just you know, 513 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: if you look at the guidelines to bariatric surgery, you 514 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: should be under the care of both a dietitian and 515 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: a psychologist. And many of the clients that we were 516 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: seeing just weren't. And it was sad a lot of them. 517 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: You know, some of them were probably funded by the client, 518 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: but through surgeons as well, and they just didn't have 519 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: that dietitian or that psychology input which would have helped 520 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: them have that understanding and appreciation of how difficult this 521 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: journey can be for a lot of people. 522 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: I think that is a really good point, because I 523 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 2: would find that the people who had signed up to 524 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 2: it very very quickly because they'd had sort of an 525 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 2: information night and it all seemed fantastic, and they hadn't 526 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 2: really considered it over a long period of time. And 527 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 2: so you get some dietetic support generally, but that may 528 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 2: only be five sessions. So after three, six, twelve months, 529 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 2: unless you proactively continue to see a dietitian or as 530 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: you said, a lot don't use the psychologists. For me, 531 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 2: it's such a big life decision. I would want someone 532 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: to be considering it for several years intensely before they 533 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 2: made that decision. So pronounced is the results. And just 534 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 2: last week I had a client. She's only in her 535 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 2: twenties now. Admittedly she had battled significant weight issues right 536 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 2: through her teenage years, but after having it and being 537 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 2: down with severe PCOS right down to sixty kilos, having 538 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: lost sixty kilos, it's now creeping up again and we're 539 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 2: having to do exactly the same dietetic intervention that we 540 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 2: always have. So it's definitely not a quick fix. It's 541 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 2: something that really needs to be considered over a long 542 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: period of time. Absolutely, you'll be seeing a dietician regularly 543 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 2: for basically the rest of your life. 544 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 3: I'm like you. I saw a huge number of. 545 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 2: Micronutrient deficiencies and quite elevated bloods because of over supplementation, 546 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 2: and I just think, you know what, sometimes there are 547 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,719 Speaker 2: still options out there, and as technology and medical advance, 548 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 2: pharmacological advances occur as well. So I'm sort of less 549 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: and less convinced the longer I work, particularly having worked 550 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 2: in it firsthand. It's quite alarming some of the things 551 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 2: that she go on. And some of the people who 552 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 2: you would argue are quite COUNTI indicated for this surgery, 553 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,239 Speaker 2: but you know, mentioned by the GP, and off they 554 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 2: go and within a couple of months I've had half 555 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 2: their stomach removed. And I think it's a big, big decision, 556 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: and you really want to consider it as a life 557 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 2: changing one. 558 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. And for me, because I used to work heavily 559 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: in surgical you know, an ico and that sort of 560 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: thing in the hospital, the amount of cancer patients that 561 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: I saw, that's something that was always at the back 562 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: of my mind, like when you've only got you know, 563 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: a third of your stomach or half your stomach all less, 564 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: what happens if something does you know, terrible, does happen 565 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: in the future. We have really high nutrient requirements, like 566 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: you do get cancer or something, how is your body 567 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: able to keep up with those really high nutrient requirements. 568 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: You'll be on liquid supplements basically for the rest of 569 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: your life. So you get to think long term as well, 570 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: like how am I going to cope with this? If 571 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: you know a lot older struggling to get in some 572 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: nutrients as well, and pregnancy as well, that's a whole 573 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: other battle if you know you've only got half a 574 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: stomach trying to get in the actual nutrients are required 575 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: to support a healthy pregnancy. But it's not that I'm 576 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: against it. I think it does work well for a 577 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: lot of people. But as you said, we need the 578 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: proper types of interventions because you know, some of the 579 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: nutrient deficiencies are just absolutely enormous, and you can absolutely 580 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: cheat the system as well, like we've seen everything. I 581 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: used to have patients blending up chicken nuggets, just drinking 582 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: McDonald's thick shakes, to get the calories in, which is 583 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: you know, you might think, oh, I'll never do that, 584 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: but you know you can get pretty death spread sometimes 585 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: people can. So you know, we've seen it all. We've 586 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: seen people just having ice cream for breakfast because you know, 587 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: they're on a free flow of diet for the first 588 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: couple of weeks post surgery, and they didn't like the 589 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: skim milk or they didn't like the protein powder that 590 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: was recommended, so they just thought that'd have some ice 591 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: cream or custard for a couple of weeks, and then 592 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: they're wondering why their weight's not coming down as it should. 593 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: So I think that there are a lot of ways 594 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: to I guess like cheat the system in that way, 595 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: but I think for a lot of people, it's really 596 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: that long term consideration, that input of psychology, I really 597 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: do find is the biggest thing for so many people. 598 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: Because you can't out exercise a bad diet, you can't 599 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: use surgical intervention for a bad diet. It will always, always, 600 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: always catch up with you long term. And as you said, 601 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: we've seen it all. We've seen people lose half their 602 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: body weight and years later they started to stack it 603 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: back on and again because they never got down to 604 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: the root causes of the emotional eating and the binge 605 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: eating and the using food for comfort, and those things 606 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: will always be there unless you get on top of 607 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: it first. So, you know, spend some time, spend even 608 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: years if you need to, going through the proper channels, 609 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: working with a psychologist, getting to the bottom of these issues, 610 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: working with the dietician to establish a great healthy baseline 611 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 1: first before you then go and get you know, some 612 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: sort of surgery or something like that, because it is 613 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: irreversible and you can't change your mind once you've got it, 614 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: and there are a lot of health implications that can 615 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: come with it as well. Sure, you might be twenty 616 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: thirty kilos down, but if you're then superma nourished and 617 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: your hair's falling out and you have a ton of 618 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: loose skin and you can't eat, you you know, you 619 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: can't go out for your favorite steak dinner because you 620 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: just can't tolerate that. Is that the way that you 621 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: want to live your life is probably just an important 622 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: question that I would pose to a lot of people. 623 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: Considering it one hundred percent, I couldn't agree more. I 624 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 2: think it's a massive decision don't take it light harder 625 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 2: And if you think it's an excuse to not exercise 626 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 2: and not so worry about your diet, you couldn't be 627 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 2: further from the truth. If anything, people who have had 628 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 2: barriergic surgery have to work hard as hard as they 629 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 2: ever have to keep it off long term, just as 630 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 2: the rest of us do. So it's definitely not a quick, 631 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 2: fixed solution. 632 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: And then moving on, Susie to our product of the week. 633 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 1: I saw these birds Eye ones I think when they 634 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: first came out a few weeks ago. It's really excited 635 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: at texting straight to you. A couple of different ones 636 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: in the range, and we picked one of the It's 637 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: not as good as some of the other ones. But 638 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: we're looking at the Bird's Eye couliflower rice today. And 639 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: you tried this on you said it was delicious. I'm 640 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: sure the boys loved it as well. We picked the 641 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: couliflower rice mixed mushroom and peer rosotto one. So do 642 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: you want to talk our listeners through it. I think 643 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: that just the standard plane Bird's Eye cauliflower rice is 644 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: actually really good and from memory has a five star 645 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: health rating. This one's got a four star health rating. 646 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: Which if you guys listened to our podcast a few 647 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: weeks ago, we did chat through the health Star ratings. 648 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: But there is quite a few ingredients in this one 649 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: which makes it maybe not as great as the plain 650 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: version of it. But as you said, it is quite tasty, 651 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: isn't it, so maybe the trade off is worth it. Well. 652 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: These veggie rices have been available from Bird's Eye for 653 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 2: a while now that I think there's a brocoli one, 654 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 2: there's a sweet potato one, there's a pure cauliflower one, 655 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 2: and whilst they're not inexpensive, they are very convenient because 656 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 2: of course, if you have to take a whole cauliflower 657 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: and blitz it in the food processor to be a 658 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 2: substitute or a low carb substitute for rice, it could 659 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: be quite messy and time consuming. So I am a 660 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 2: big fan of them. But what tickle my fancy was 661 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 2: when I saw a mushroom risotto. And also there's a 662 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: fried rice one that had recently been released, and I 663 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 2: got it at Coal's last week to try it. Because 664 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 2: I love rosotto. It's probably my favorite Italian dish, but 665 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 2: because it's so dense in carbohydrate, and to get a 666 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,719 Speaker 2: good risotto is actually quite hard. There's an art to risotto, 667 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 2: you know you've. 668 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 3: Really got to have. 669 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 2: I would only really have it if I was going 670 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 2: to a really great Italian restaurant and knew that it. 671 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: Was going to have one one cheese exactly exactly the cream, 672 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: or it's not a good resotto. 673 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, So seeing this one. This is the veggi rice 674 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 2: collie rice mixed rosso and pea, and so I tried 675 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 2: it on the weekend with a friend of mine. Now, 676 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 2: to start with, I only have seen it at coal 677 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 2: so far, So if you're shopping at Woollies, I haven't 678 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 2: seen it there yet. And the ingredient enlist is actually 679 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: pretty cleanly and like it's forty percent coliflower, so it's 680 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 2: advertised to seventy percent less carb than regular rice based rosotto. 681 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 2: It's got eleven percent mushroom, onion, different types of MUSHes. 682 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 3: But it does have cream in it. 683 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 2: This one because when I looked at the nutritionals, it 684 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 2: actually looked. 685 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 3: Quite high in fat. 686 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 2: Now it's a five hundred grand bag and they're saying 687 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: it's only two serves, which makes it quite a big serve. 688 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 2: And it comes in at six point eight grams of 689 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 2: protein over three hundred calories per serve, but it came 690 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 2: in at seventeen grams of fat and eight point three 691 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 2: of which was saturated, which is recently high for a 692 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 2: side dish or a veggie based dish, twelve point three 693 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 2: grams of carbohydrate, obviously significantly less than a rice based variety, 694 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: four point five grams of sugars per serve, nine point 695 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 2: eight grams of dietary fiber. 696 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 3: Which is actually huge. That's the veggie benefits. 697 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,239 Speaker 2: But it was delicious, so my friend made it up. 698 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 2: Now we made it into four serves. I think two 699 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 2: is a large serve. I wouldn't actually probably have that 700 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 2: much in it, As I said to my friend, who 701 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 2: enjoys cooking as well, I would probably add extra veggies 702 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 2: to it. You could easily add spinach to that. It 703 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 2: would work really well. With extra piece. You could really 704 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: bulk it up. But the good news is if you 705 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 2: are a little bit more mindful of fat, even though 706 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 2: that's not that much overall, like a piece of meat 707 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 2: won't be that much less because of the cream in it. 708 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 2: It's sort of quite high and saturated fat. But there 709 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 2: is a another one of fried rice variety which is 710 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 2: nowhere nearest hind fat, because that's just basically utilizing some 711 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 2: of the Asian flavors through some extra veggies. And my 712 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 2: friend cooked it with an egg on top, so they 713 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 2: did it like a fried egg through it nas it 714 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 2: going and it was a really delicious dish. So I 715 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 2: think occasionally the mushroom rosoto one is still a really 716 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 2: good choice. It's delicious, it's much lower in carbohydrate. It 717 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 2: really had a good flavory, and for a processed food, 718 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 2: because of course people are saying, oh, why would you 719 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 2: encourage people to eat a processed food, Because I think 720 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 2: it's a great way to increase vegetable consumption. 721 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 3: It's incredibly convenient. 722 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 2: It's going to be a million times better than a 723 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 2: rosotta that you buy from a takeaway shop. 724 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 3: And it tastes great. 725 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 2: And as I said, the fried rice variety, all the 726 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 2: plain ones are brilliant. They're great additions, well done to birds, 727 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 2: so I'm a massive fan. I think they're a great 728 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 2: way for people to eat a whole lot more veggies. 729 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 2: Like almost ten grams of dietary fiber perserve like that's outstanding, 730 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 2: So they're well worth a look and I really really 731 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 2: liked it. I'm going to be adding it, but as 732 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 2: I said, I would make it last four serves just 733 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 2: because of that sort of fat content is relatively high. 734 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: What I would do is I would buy the bag 735 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: of the playing Caulifly rice and mix that through it 736 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: to bulk it out a little bit and bring down 737 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: that calorie load. And then I'd add some quality protein 738 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: to that as well. So what we know is really 739 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: important for metabolism and lean muscle maintenance long term, and 740 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: even just fullness and satisfaction from a meal, So I'd 741 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: add some grilled tofu or a bit of fish or 742 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: some chicken or something like that to the dish to 743 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: really sort of complete that meal. And as you said, 744 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: it's a quick and easy dish, isn't it's really high 745 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: diet through fibers, super highd veggies. It tastes good, and 746 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: we can sort of balance that out just by adding 747 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: a couple of extra things to it. So I buy 748 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: a bag of there's a bag of the plain Colie 749 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: rice and a bit of quality protein, and as you said, 750 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: maybe just add a couple of extra veggies to bulk 751 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: it out, and I think You've got yourself a really, 752 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: really wonderful and tasty Friday night kind of quick and 753 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: easy meal. 754 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 2: It was so quick to make, and I had the 755 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 2: parmesan out ready to add it because I said to 756 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 2: my friend, I will add you know what, we didn't 757 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 2: need to It was really creamy without it, so we 758 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 2: didn't have to add extra fat for any flavor. But 759 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 2: it was literally ready in five minutes, so the convenience 760 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 2: factor was second to none, and it was five point fifty. 761 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: It's got a cheese mix in there as well. Yes, 762 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: it's got cream and a cheese mix in it, which 763 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: I think helps. 764 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 2: Which is why it's got a bit of fat to 765 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 2: it doesn't have a calcium on there, so I'm not 766 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 2: sure how much we're getting from that, but you're right. 767 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 2: If you even added the four dollar veggie rice, it's 768 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 2: still a ten dollars or less meal, and then if 769 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 2: you added a little bit. 770 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 3: Of extra protein. 771 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 2: So very cost effective and very very tasty, and if 772 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 2: you're a bit more mindful of fat, seek out the 773 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 2: fried rice variety. 774 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 3: But big thumbs up from me, I'm a big fan. Yeah. 775 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: I definitely like it as well, because I just do 776 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: not have time to blead my own cauliflower rice these days. 777 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: And as you said, it cours everywhere, so I'd much 778 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: rather just buy it back from the frozen section. 779 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more r. I almost broke my blend 780 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: to trying to make my own cauliflower rice. It was 781 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 2: like flying everywhere. 782 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 3: It was hard. I was like, this is way too different, 783 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 3: all right. 784 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 2: So for our final segment of the show, this is 785 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 2: a listener question. We have had a lot as well there, 786 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: so there's some common themes come up, and we thought 787 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: it was a really good one to talk about because 788 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 2: it was about protein balls. And in our pre show discussion, 789 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 2: you said to me, I think their energy balls, and 790 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 2: I think that sums it up really really well. So 791 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 2: we're talking about sort of the products that you find 792 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 2: often in the health food section. You buy them individually, 793 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 2: sometimes at service stations, and they are sold just protein 794 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 2: or energy balls, and so the question is are they 795 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: actually healthy? And I'll start by saying that I don't 796 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 2: generally buy protein balls, even though I've got some recipes 797 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: on my Instagram and I know people love them, because 798 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 2: I just find they're so high in calories for such 799 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 2: a small volume of food that they're not how I 800 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 2: choose to use my calories. So they come in generally 801 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 2: between at least two hundred calories, if not up to 802 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 2: three hundred because generally speakingly and they're made using dates 803 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 2: and some sort of sugar to bind them, and some 804 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 2: fats and nuts, and the combination, whilst is very healthy, 805 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 2: is very very calorie dense. So I know they're popular, 806 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 2: but I sort of only tend to use them with 807 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 2: really really active people, sometimes teenagers in their lunch box 808 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 2: or my athletes, because it really is close to a 809 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 2: meal in a relatively small serve of food. 810 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: I've seen them up to four hundred plus calories as well, 811 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: so I don't really turn them protein balls. I turn 812 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: them energy balls or energy bombs, some of the you know, 813 00:33:58,760 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: the worst ones. 814 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 3: She said. 815 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: I don't generally recommend them for my clients. I'm much 816 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: more of a fan of if you want something, you know, 817 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: a healthy bake treat or something like that, I'm much 818 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 1: more of a fan of either thing that you want 819 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: the most. I'd rather you had a little bit of 820 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: proper brownie than trying to bake these energy balls. And 821 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: the question from the listener was how healthy are they 822 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: and can we eat them every day? So I, despite 823 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: being healthy ingredients in the majority of them, like dates 824 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: and nuts and seeds and peanut butter. As you mentioned, 825 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: occasionally they mix a little bit of protein powder through 826 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 1: them as well. I wouldn't call them a daily edition 827 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 1: if your goal is fat loss, if you're super active, 828 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: you're wanting to gain weight or muscle, or even just 829 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: maintain your weight, and you're very, very active, and yeah, 830 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: they could be a great addition for you to have 831 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: every single day. But I think for the large majority 832 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: of our listeners, from what you guys are telling us, 833 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 1: the goal is fat loss, and so I really don't 834 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: think that these are appropriate. As you mentioned, Suzi, they're 835 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: just kind of energy bombs. I mean they're done in 836 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: two or three buds and there's like three four hundred 837 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: calories and you're like, okay, well what now, I'm still hungry. 838 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: So for me, they don't they're not feeling. 839 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 2: There's not much protein in them. Often you knowl as 840 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 2: low as six scraps three grams, sometimes low off, like 841 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 2: if I was looking at a protein supplement, you know, 842 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 2: I'm looking at like ten, fifteen, twenty grams. And sometimes 843 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 2: you look at them and you're right, they're actually not 844 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 2: overly high in protein. So again it's quite misleading because 845 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 2: to make quite a high protein ball, you have to 846 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 2: add a lot because you can't just add nuts because 847 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 2: you're adding heaps of fat, so that bumps the calories up. 848 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 3: So you have to add a lot of protein powder. 849 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 2: Now, protein powder is a pure concentrate doesn't taste great, 850 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 2: so then to get a tasting great, you've got to 851 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 2: add all the sugars. So it's kind of fighting this 852 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 2: battle of when you're trying to get the protein up 853 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 2: around at least ten fifteen grams, it's a lot of 854 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 2: protein powder, which also makes them really expensive. So you know, 855 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 2: maybe you know a long time ago now on the 856 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 2: Nutrition Couch podcast, we spoke about peanut butter paste and 857 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 2: perhaps if you're making your own, you could use that. 858 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 2: And you will see on the recipes I have on 859 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 2: my Instagram page. I've got quite a few protein balls there. 860 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 2: They're not overly high in protein. Again, I think they're 861 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 2: ranging from five to six grams. But I really am 862 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 2: quite specific with how many dates and things I use 863 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 2: to try and keep the calories down, and I tend 864 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 2: to use essences for sweetness other than the sugar. But yeah, 865 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 2: it's really really challenging. They're absolutely energy balls. So yeah, 866 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 2: great for teenagers or active people and not so great 867 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 2: for the rest of us. 868 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I sort of still consider them quote unquote 869 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: a treat, even though it's not like we're bulking them 870 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: out with chocolate or candy, or it's not ice cream 871 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 1: or anything. I sort of think that, you know, those 872 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: things are better off eaten in their whole forms, you know, 873 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: you know, a small handful of nuts, or one or 874 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: two whole module dates, or like a teaspin of peanut 875 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: butter on some celery is a much better alternative because 876 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: you're getting the volume from the food versus when you're 877 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: blending it all down. It's like juice, Like you could 878 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: easily have a cup of orange juice, which is about 879 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: four or five oranges blended, but you couldn't sit down 880 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: and eat four or five oranges. Your body would be like, nah, 881 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm done, tap out after like two orang juicese because 882 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: that volume is there from the food. Same with energy bulls. 883 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: You could probably eat ten to feel full, versus you 884 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: couldn't eat like three or four cups of nuts, three 885 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: or four dates, a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter, 886 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: and a couple of scoops of protein powder which went 887 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 1: into the ten protein balls that you would eat just 888 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 1: to feel full. So I'm much more of a fan 889 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: of volume dense eating, which I know you are too, Susie. 890 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: So I generally don't recommend these my clients at all, 891 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: as you said, unless they're actively trying to gain weight, 892 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: they are malnourished, or their energy or activity requirements are 893 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: super super high. I am much more a fan of 894 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: eating the food separately for the volume. 895 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 2: Well, they're expensive as well, like they retail it. You know, 896 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 2: two dollars on sale, but up to four or five 897 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 2: dollars per serve, Like that's really reasonably expensive food. And 898 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,240 Speaker 2: so if someone as I said, if someone likes them, maybe, 899 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 2: and we're seeing more and more of them even in 900 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 2: the main music bus section, But very rarely do they 901 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,399 Speaker 2: have much protein in them, I find, and the ones 902 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 2: that do are quite high in calories because they're made 903 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 2: with the nutspread and things like that. So I think 904 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 2: it's a little bit of enjoy them as an occasional 905 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 2: trade or if you're really on the run and need 906 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 2: something quick and easy at the service station, but it 907 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 2: wouldn't definitely be on my regular supermarket list or as 908 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 2: products I'm recommending to clients a lot. 909 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: And I saw this great infographic the other day on 910 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 1: it must have been a few weeks or months ago now, 911 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: on a dietitian's account, and she said, this is my 912 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: version of Nature's protein ball. And she had a protein 913 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: ball would about three four hundred calories with maybe four 914 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: grams of protein in it, and on the right side 915 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: of the screen she compared it to an egg and 916 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: she's like, this is Nature's protein more, you know, seventy calories, 917 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: six grams of protein, Like just wonderful. And I thought 918 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: I couldn't have said it better myself, Like that's you know, 919 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: I would much rather have a baled egg and some 920 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: veggie sticks with hummus or a tub of yogurt with 921 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: a piece of fruit as a really great quality snack. 922 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: It's going to be lower calorie, it's going to be 923 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: higher protein than some of these energy bombs that you know, 924 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: they're marketed it is super healthy and super high protein, 925 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: when in reality they're really not. And also, I think 926 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,879 Speaker 1: we've just gone a little bit protein crazy as well, 927 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: haven't we. We just most of us, if we're getting 928 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: quality protein in our main meals, we just don't need 929 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: that much in our snacks either. We should really be 930 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: focusing on volume and trying to get in adequate serves 931 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: of vegetables and fruits and that sort of thing, and 932 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: you know, a small handful of nuts every day, like 933 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: try to get in those recommendations rather than try to 934 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: make everything super fancy and delicious tasting like. 935 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I know that would have been Paula Norris, 936 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 2: the Moving Dieticians. She does some great infographics if you 937 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 2: don't follow her, but I did see that too, and 938 00:38:59,120 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 2: it's very smart. 939 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely right. Sometimes simple is the best way to 940 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 3: go wonerful. 941 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: So Susie again, that brings us to the end of 942 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 1: another episode for the Nutrition Couch for another week.
