Today we are chatting honey, golden syrup, glucose, rice, 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: malt syrup, true gul and sugar. Is it really bad 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: for us? Are some types better than others? And how 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: much is too much? Each day? Today we take a 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: closer look at the substance that makes our life a 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: whole lot sweeter and our client case study is on 11 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: bariatric surgery. We talk about the dietary implications and nutritional 12 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: implications to be aware of if you've had one or 13 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: if you're considering bariatric surgery. Our product review is on 14 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: a wonderful new veggie cauliflower rice that we've found and Susie, 15 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: I know that you love this one. And our listener 16 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: question is on protein balls. Are they healthy? Can we 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: eat them each day? And what makes us choose a 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: better one? But to get a started this week, thought 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: I would give you guys a little bumpy update. Susie, 20 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: we are what are we thirty two weeks heading into 21 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: week thirty three, So guys, we are getting on. It's summer. 22 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: It's hot up in Brisbane. I must admit I'm feeling 23 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: a little bit puffy, susy and a little bit breathless. 24 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: Like I always thought, I'm not going to be that 25 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: person that gets breathless or get you know, that gets 26 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: a bit puffy. But guys, I'm here, We're there. 27 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: We've still got a month or two two to go. 28 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: I've got one word. I've got two words for you. 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 2: Beettroot juice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I. 30 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: Have heard that. 31 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. So with twins, I was very puffy, understandably, and 32 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: particularly my legs in the second half of the day. 33 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: So as my blood pressure started to go a little 34 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: bit up at the end just because of the enormous load, 35 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 2: I found beechtroot juice really handy. So instead of a coffee, 36 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: which I sort of went off, I had a beetroot 37 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: juice this morning. So I can tell you that. But 38 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: I think it's a great excuse for a little daily nap, 39 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 2: to be honest, to put those legs up. But again, 40 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: you know you're up there. It is warm. I have 41 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: no doubt it's not the easiest hauling around that bump 42 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: at the moment, but you know, it's also a really 43 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: nice time. So rest while you can, my love, rest 44 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: why you can thank you. 45 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to go find my blunder and make 46 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: up some beetroot juice. That sounds great, but I still 47 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: haven't packed my hospital bags. Everyone's like you should do 48 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: it early. I'm like, I'll get there. So listeners, if 49 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: you have any tips on what I should be putting 50 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: into my hospital bag, please send us a DM and 51 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: let me know. But Zuzie, what was the big one 52 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: or two recommendations you had for your hospital bag? 53 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: Well, tell you a silly story. I was like so excited, 54 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: you know, the first were the only babies, and I 55 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: packed like the kitchen sinkly and like I took a kettle. 56 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: I took so much stuff it was actually embarrassing. And 57 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: then I moved from a small room to a slightly 58 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: larger room the day after, and I sent Chris packing 59 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: with it all because I was so embarrassed with how 60 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 2: much stuff I actually took. So I think go for 61 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 2: the sort of the lighter plan. The hospitals have tea 62 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 2: you don't need to take your own kettle. I thought 63 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: I'd like to be having, you know, my tea in 64 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: my own cup. Like just the most ridiculous thoughts. Oh, 65 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I think I found most helpful. 66 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: I didn't want to be in the hospital in my pajamas, 67 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: so I took these great dresses, which are just those 68 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: ones that just strapless, so straight over the boobs and 69 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: just fell down. So not only was it perfect for 70 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 2: someone I had a cesarean, but meant when you start 71 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: to breastfeed, I didn't have to stuff around with the 72 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: top and you're up there it's so warm. So a 73 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 2: little strapless summer flip dress sat straight down. It goes 74 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 2: straight down, and I got dressed every morning and I 75 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 2: felt great, and so when people came, they were like, oh, 76 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: you're dressed and you're up and it made me feel 77 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 2: really good. So I think that dress was amazing and 78 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: I literally wore it for the first six months after 79 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: the baby. So yeah, I think a very strategic dress 80 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: that's easy to get off and doesn't sort of can hide. 81 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: You can hide under it when you're still recovering. That's 82 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: my top tip. A flowy, loose dress to wear so 83 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: when people come to see you. You sort of feel good, 84 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: you know, you get dressed and because you're not sick, 85 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So that's my best tip. Yeah, 86 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 2: love it, love it. 87 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: I have to go online dropping. And it's funny that 88 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: you mentioned a kettle because I saw a video on 89 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: TikTok and a guy had brought the air fright into 90 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: the room and it was like making his wife air fryer. 91 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: I don't like chicken nuggets. Was just something ridiculous and 92 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: I just thought, Oh my god, I can't imagine being 93 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: in the headspace that I'm like, hey, babe, can you 94 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: bring in the air fright into those after birth? But 95 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: it was so funny and it went viral. It had 96 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: like a couple of d juice or something, and I 97 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: just thought, oh my goodness, like, there is no room 98 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: in my hospital bag for any even. 99 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: Though I love my fryer. It's just so opposite to 100 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: what you think it's going to be like. So I 101 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: was just embarrassed in hindsight. So yeah, keep it simple 102 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,119 Speaker 2: is my tip. They can always bring stuff in. But yeah, 103 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: a good shift dress will go a long way in 104 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: making you look glam and feel good straight after you've 105 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: had your baby. 106 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: Amazing, amazing. All right, Well, to kick yourself this week? 107 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: Is it? Let's chat sugar. And I think probably the 108 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: one or two things that you and I hear all 109 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: of the time is clients saying to us, I'm eating 110 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: so healthy, I've made some wonderful changes, I'm doing so well, 111 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: but this scale just isn't budging. And you know, a 112 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: lot of people sort of go, you know, I stopped 113 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: putting what sugar in my tea and I've swopped to 114 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: organic brown sugar. I put honey in my tea instead 115 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: or instead of my porridge, adding you know, sugar to it. 116 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: I now put maple syrup on and it's organic maple syrup. 117 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: Not having that understanding that at the most basic level, 118 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: sugar equal sugar. And I think that's an important and 119 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: a quick conversation to have, Susie, that you know, just 120 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: swapping from one form of sugar into another form of 121 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: sugar isn't necessarily going to get us that weight loss 122 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: on the scale, because sure, some of it might have 123 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: slightly different effects on our blood sugar levels, but overall, 124 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: my basic sort of recommendation for my clients is generally 125 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: always sugar. Egles sugar, Choose the one you want, Choose 126 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: the one that's most affordable for you. But we're really 127 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: not going to get too many benefits health wise from 128 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: stopping from one form of you know, white cane sugar 129 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: to maybe an organic honey or something like that. Are 130 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: you on the same page as me here? Well? 131 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: I think the interesting thing about sugar in recent years 132 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 2: is that we really didn't talk about it a lot. 133 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 2: For probably the ten or fifteen years, it was all 134 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 2: about low fat, and then all of a sudden, even 135 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: though it was a repeat of history, we had the 136 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 2: eye quick sugar, anti sugar kind of movement, which became 137 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 2: very very specific about sugar types. There was also a 138 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: lot of talk around fructose and high fructose corn syrup, 139 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 2: which we should say is is really not that not 140 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: prevalent in the Australian food supply, but it is very 141 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: common in the US through their soft drinks and processed 142 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: snap food and the association between that at increased risk 143 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: of weight gain and type two diabetes. Since that, we've 144 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 2: had a shift from food companies to really move away 145 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: from addressing sugar on labels as actual white sucrose or 146 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: the sugar that we would add traditionally to tea and coffee, 147 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: to a range of other sweeteners. Now we've spoken about 148 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: sweetness in the past, but when we're talking here about 149 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: basically different types of sugar, and some of the ones 150 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: you've already mentioned the rice, malt, syrup, treacle, honey, a gave, 151 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: you know, anything with syrup in the word, we see 152 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 2: it as glucose. On food labels, we see it as multidextrin. 153 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: So really it's been white sugar that's been focused on 154 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: with labels, you know, to try and reduce the overall amount. Now, 155 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 2: the first thing I wanted to talk about was what 156 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: is the recommendation for added sugars in the diet, because 157 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: we need to say lean. There's a really big difference 158 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: between naturally occurring sugars and ones that are added and 159 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: the effect of physiologically in the body. So natural sugars 160 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: are things like frup, toes, lactose, and they occur naturally 161 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 2: in things like fruit and dairy food, so they are 162 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 2: they're not added to the foods. Basically the natural building 163 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 2: block of energy for the body, and that's what we 164 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 2: run off. Those simple sugars which break down to glucose 165 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: in the body and they function quite differently as part 166 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 2: of a whole food when it comes to metabolism and 167 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: hormonal control. To that of what we're talking about here, 168 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: which is added sugar in food. Now, one of the 169 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: biggest issues, which we spoke about a couple of weeks ago, 170 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: was that on astrain food labels at the moment, not 171 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: all food manufacturers will differentiate the amount of sugar in 172 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: the food that's added versus the sugar that is naturally occurring, 173 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: and there is that big difference. I guess the take 174 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: home messages from our perspective is dietitians. One is not 175 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: significantly better than the other. So just because it uses 176 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: rice bolk syrup, which has had a health halo effect 177 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: for quite some time, it's still added sugar. It's still 178 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 2: quickly digested, it is still adding no nutritive value to 179 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: the food, and basically the less of that we have 180 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: in the diet, the better. So the World Health Organization's 181 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: recommendation that added sugar is in the diet is no 182 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: more than twenty five grams or five to six tea spoons. Now, 183 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 2: I know that a lot of nutrition couch listeners are 184 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: currently sitting there saying, oh, that's a lot. I don't 185 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: have that much, but trust me, most people have at 186 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: least double that on a daily basis, because if you 187 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: consider that we're getting it from our sauces, that if 188 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: you have any kind of sweet food, you're probably getting 189 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 2: at least five grams, which is actually really low. So 190 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: even without trying, our diets tend to be relatively high. 191 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: And it's not uncommon for me to do a calculation 192 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 2: on kids diets land and they're having thirty forty to 193 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: fifty grams of added sugars because we're going back and 194 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: having those treats in their diet, things like the cookies 195 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 2: and the cakes and the muffins and the banana bread, 196 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 2: which instantly add twenty to thirty grams of added sugars 197 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 2: per serve. So the TAKEO message is scan your ingredient list, 198 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 2: because all of those are basically added sugars. Just because 199 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: it isn't sucrose or table sugar doesn't mean that it's 200 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: not sugar. It doesn't matter that it's honey, it's still 201 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 2: added sugar. And really all of us should be added 202 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: aiming for no more than that sort of twenty five 203 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: grams five to six tea spoons and if you have 204 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 2: a sugar in your tea or coffee a couple of 205 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: times a day you enjoy sweet treat and maybe some sauce, 206 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: you're already getting to that level. So a lower sugar 207 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: diet is quite challenging. You sort of have to have 208 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 2: no processed food, very little added sauce, because you'll be 209 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: getting natural sugars anyway from dairy and fruit and that's 210 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: all your body needs. 211 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: And I think that a lot of people, I guess 212 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: over demonize the sugar's found in you know, natural fruits 213 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: and dairy and that sort of thing. They look at 214 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: a cup of skin milk and they think, oh my goodness, 215 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: that's so high in sugar, I can't drink it. Yet 216 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: they'll happily go and have like a cold pressed juice, 217 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: which they think, you know, has this health halo effect, 218 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: a cold press green juice which actually has about four 219 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: pieces of fruit blended and to it, which has I 220 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: don't know, thirty grams of added sugar or something like that. 221 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: So well, the thing with the juices is a good point. 222 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 2: I'm glad you've brought it up, because if we were saying, right, 223 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: if you have one hundred percent fruit juice. It's not 224 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 2: actually added sugar per se, it's naturally occurring. But what 225 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: it is and the difference there and why we're not 226 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: overly big fans of juices and why they're implicated in obesity, 227 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 2: is that it's a concentrated form of sugar that you 228 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 2: would never normally consume. So if you had an orange, 229 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 2: for example, you might get fifteen eighteen grams of sugars fructose. 230 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 2: But when you have the oranges of juice, you use 231 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: three or four oranges, so it's you know, triple, if 232 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 2: not quadrupling that. So it's the concentration of fruit juice 233 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: that differentiates it from the naturally occurring sugars in the 234 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 2: fruit itself. And that's the same with dried fruit, and 235 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 2: that's white. So it's a little bit different from what 236 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: we're talking about. But as you described, often when we're 237 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 2: buying these juices or smoothies, they're adding multiple other sugars. 238 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: So they may be a base of fruit sugar, but 239 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: then there might be some honey added or some fruit 240 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: yogurt and all the other additions which are adding on 241 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: extra sugar as well. And that's where the juices and 242 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: the smoothies we buy away from the home, get a 243 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: little bit more complicated. So yes, when it comes to sugars, 244 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 2: there's an issue with overly concentrated sauces in natural foods 245 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: as well as the added So for example, in flavored milk, 246 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: you're getting some naturally occurring sugar, yes, but there's also 247 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 2: added so you get the double whammy. So you know, 248 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 2: if I'm looking on food labels leanne, I like to 249 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: choose foods that have about less than five grams of 250 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 2: sugars per se of Now, obviously, if I'm looking at 251 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 2: skim milk, I'm aware that that's only natural sugar. I 252 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 2: wouldn't check that, But for anything flavored, for any sauces, 253 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: for any snack bars that I'm looking at, I'm looking 254 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: for less than five grams of added sugars per serve. 255 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: And I will sometimes scan that ingredient list and if 256 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 2: I'm seeing multiple sources of sugar in it, like often 257 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 2: if you look at cereals or snack bars, there'll be 258 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: the glucose syrup plus maybe a little bit of honey, 259 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 2: So there's several different types of sugar. And that's when 260 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 2: to take a step back and say, you know what 261 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: that food is actually quite concentrated in sugar and probably 262 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 2: as a percentage of the food is quite significant. 263 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: And it brings me to I think an important point 264 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: that you mentioned, like the multiple types of sugar in 265 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: a food as well because of the health halo effect. 266 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: And I think honey's a good one because a lot 267 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: of people will go, well, you know, I've sot my 268 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: white sugar for honey, so it's better for you, and 269 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: you know it might be more quote unquote natural, but 270 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: it's still sugar for the body. The body still has 271 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: to process it and break it down as sugar. So 272 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: especially for you know, our diabetics out there are insulin 273 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: resistance people that aren't exercising. Your body's going to basically 274 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: still you have to process that the exact same way 275 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: that it processes white sugar. And organic or not, it 276 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: really doesn't matter at the end of the day. And 277 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: I think the big one out there is Manuka honey 278 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: as well, Susie. I see a lot of client spending 279 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: a lot of money, like it's quite expensive. I think 280 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: you think of Monuca honey could be eight nine ten 281 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: dollars plus and I think really the benefits when you 282 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: draw down the research on that from a topical aspect, 283 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: so it can be really helpful in terms of wound healing, 284 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: but you've got to apply topically to the skin. So 285 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: if you're just putting your Manuka honey into your smoothie, 286 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: it's not really going to give you any added benefits, 287 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: so you should kind of just shake, you know, save 288 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: your money. Really at the end of the day, like, 289 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: there are some wonderful health benefits, but you really got 290 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: to make sure you're using the correct dose, in the 291 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: correct amount, and in the correct way, so you know, 292 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: applying that topically to the skin or the wound versus 293 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: actually just dumping that into your smoothie each morning, because 294 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: all you're doing is adding in a whole heap of 295 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: added sugar and you're just paying four times a price 296 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: for it. So I think that's probably something for our 297 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: lists to be aware of. And again another health halo 298 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: effect that we see with marketing, isn't. 299 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: It it is? That's a really good tip because yeah, 300 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: it issive and you don't want to be wasting it, 301 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: but you're absolutely right. The one that I see most 302 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 2: commonly is the honey used as a preferential and almost 303 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: looked at as morally superior, and you know, at the 304 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: end of the day, it still is added sugar, as 305 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 2: is brown sugar, organic sugar, raw sugar. It's all sugar, 306 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 2: my friends, It's all sugar. And just a little tip 307 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 2: to wrap us up if you're someone who enjoys your 308 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: tea or coffee with a sugar. Now, I'll disclose here 309 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: that I like my extra hot skim latte large as 310 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: I've got older, with half a sugar, but it has 311 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 2: become half overtime, So I think the other thing is 312 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 2: we really program our brains to seek out a certain 313 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 2: amount of sweet stimulus, so you can reprogram to have none. 314 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 2: So for example, if you're having seven cups of tea 315 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 2: a day with half a sugar in each, it will 316 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 2: be easy over time to reduce that and overtime program 317 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: you to have less and less of that added sugar. 318 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: And the same with our tea and coffee. So it's 319 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 2: either reducing the total amount or weaning down over time. 320 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 2: And another tip if your barista uses liquid sugar, because 321 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: a lot of barristers will squirt it because it's easier, 322 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 2: they don't have to muck around with spoons, but they 323 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 2: often use a whole lot more so you can often 324 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: get away with a whole lot less. So be mindful 325 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: of that, because all of the syrups that we order 326 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: with our coffees are also added sugars that can slip 327 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: in when your coffee or tea habit becomes quite frequent 328 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 2: through the day. 329 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: I mean mindful of chi lattes. In the very beginning, 330 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: obviously early stages of pregnancies, I couldn't stomach coffee at all. 331 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: I just I was so turned off. But you know, 332 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: David will go to the coffee shop each morning and 333 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: I didn't want to miss out, so I'd be like, oh, 334 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: get me a chi latte. I was like, these are delicious, 335 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: and I knew in my head. I was like, I 336 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: knew how bad they are. And one day I think 337 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: I looked up the one from Starbucks or something, and 338 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, my goodness, and literally I haven't 339 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: had once since. So be mindful of your Ti lattes. 340 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: Guys, and all the smooth You're absolutely right, all of 341 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 2: those smoothies and juices. Juices they can have sixty eighty 342 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: grams sometimes of sugars. So I always keep in mind 343 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: that twenty five in total per day, or less than 344 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 2: five grams of sugars per serve and you'll be on 345 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 2: the right track. So moving on to something that's not 346 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: actually unrelated really is that of course, we look at 347 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 2: all the questions we have from our loyal listeners on 348 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 2: our Instagram and our Facebook page, and there has been 349 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: a number of questions over the past couple of months 350 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 2: coming from people who have had bariatric surgery, and often 351 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: they're asking about specific nutritional recommendations or perhaps their weight 352 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: loss has slowed. So I thought it was time that 353 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: we have a bit of an open discussion about this now. 354 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 2: I have worked in bariatric surgery at two times twice 355 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: in my career. First, when I was quite young, I 356 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 2: worked in lap bands. It would be now more than 357 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 2: twenty years ago, when it was quite a new procedure 358 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: and a lot of surgeons took it on board as 359 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 2: an elective option, and people suddenly would have the band 360 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: popped around the top of the stomach and it would 361 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: result generally in pretty quick class weight loss. But over 362 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 2: many years on they've sort of improved the techniques and 363 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: strategies and found better options. And then a few years 364 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 2: ago I worked with a bariatric surgeon who primarily performed 365 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 2: sleeve surgeries where a significant component of the stomach is 366 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: removed and all bypasses depending on past surgery history. Now 367 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: it's a really interesting one, and again we could hold 368 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: a whole show on bariatric surgery. But a couple of 369 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: things I wanted to look at today was the pros 370 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 2: and cons of it, because I think if someone is 371 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 2: significantly overweight, so this is not something you would ever 372 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 2: consider if you needed to lose twenty here loos, unless 373 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 2: you had significant medical complications that would warrant losing weight 374 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: quite quickly to reverse them. So for example, extreme diabetes 375 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 2: or very fatty liver, that was looking at other surgery 376 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 2: options needed if someone didn't lose weight very very quickly, 377 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 2: or perhaps they're very very immobile and can't do a 378 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 2: lot of activity so needed to lose a lot of weight. 379 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 2: But in general it's recommended for obest and morbidly obese people. 380 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: There are definitely indicators for it. There has to have 381 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 2: a long history of weight loss attempts. But I really 382 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 2: want to stress that the biggest misconception I've observed is 383 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: the thought that it will lose the weight and then 384 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 2: it's kept off and life returns to normal, which could 385 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 2: not be further from the truth. So it is a drastic, 386 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: drastic operation in which your fundamental ability to eat your 387 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 2: food will be changed forever because you can't grow an 388 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 2: organ bat And yes, whilst it has improved outcomes, when 389 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 2: you look at the data for significant weight loss, for 390 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: just as many people who achieve the thirty forty fifty 391 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 2: kilo weight loss, I would say there's just as many 392 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: who lose the initial twenty kilos that comes from having 393 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 2: half of their stomach removed and unable to eat large 394 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 2: volumes of food, but just as many who don't reach 395 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 2: their goal weight because unless you focus on your diet 396 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 2: and exercise regime, even to a greater extent than you 397 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 2: needed to before the surgery, you won't get to your 398 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 2: goal weight. So with those underlying behaviors of inactivity and 399 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 2: overeating or binge eating or eating rubbish are not resolved, 400 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: you will never be able to get down to that 401 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 2: goal weight and keep there. And I can tell you 402 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: so many clients who have lost the sixty kilos back 403 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: down to sixty and then you see them again five 404 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 2: ten years later, back up at eighty, still dealing with 405 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: the same demons that they had before. I'm not saying 406 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 2: I'm against it, but I'm saying I think it has 407 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: to be an absolutely last resort option. And as we've 408 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 2: spoken about in previous podcasts, they am with some very 409 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: efficient endocrine medications. Now, in conjunction with good endochronologists, we 410 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 2: can often get significant weight off people who had very 411 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 2: high blood glucose and insulin levels, and we never usually 412 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 2: could and they would have previously been referred for bariatric 413 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 2: surgery because there are fundamental consequences when it comes to 414 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: your overall nutritional status and the way you eat for 415 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 2: the rest of your life. So for me, it absolutely 416 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 2: has to be a last ditch attempt. Now I can 417 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 2: think of five clients who would never go back. They 418 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 2: are so thrilled they've got their life back. But you know, 419 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: I think most people sit more in that middle ground 420 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 2: where they lose some but they actually don't ever completely 421 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 2: improve their diet and lifestyle and exercise to really reap 422 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 2: the full benefits. And as I said, it's only ever 423 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 2: my last resort when it comes because I try and 424 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 2: keep people eating and enjoying their food in their life 425 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: as long as I can. Before I would ever suggest 426 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 2: or reckon in bariatric surgery. 427 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: And I'm on the same page. And I would say 428 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: most of the clients that I used to see, I 429 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: used to do the pre screening barratic clinics and sort 430 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: of follow them through as well. We actually did some 431 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: publicly funded barotric surgery, which was a sort of a 432 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: Queensland such Australia sort of first, I believe many years 433 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: ago the hospital I used to work out, and that 434 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: was sort of it was difficult because you know, when 435 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: you're not really paying for it, you're not as invested. 436 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: So just the follow up trying to get them to 437 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: take their multi vitamins was like just the amount of 438 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: malnutrition I was seeing post follow up SUSI was just 439 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,719 Speaker 1: it was horrendous. But anyway, but you know, if some 440 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: of them were referred and they were young, and I 441 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: am so absolutely against anyone who is young, and I'm 442 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: talking you know, I was referred. I was saw a 443 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: sixteen year old or a seventeen year old. I saw 444 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: a couple who are around that eighteen to twenty year 445 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: old mark. And I'm sorry, when you're that young, you 446 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: should have tried things for many many years beforehand. I 447 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: really don't think that it's something that our teenagers should 448 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: be doing at all. I really do think that once 449 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: your mobility is really impacted, it can be helpful for 450 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: some people. But there was no real honest conversations around it. 451 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: But I think it was something that the surgeon suggested 452 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: and then the clients went, great, this is a quick 453 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: and easy fix. Amazing because the amount of times I 454 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: would see people and I'd say to them, do you 455 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: understand that you know, depending on the type of barratric 456 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: surgery you had, you may never be able to eat 457 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: steak again? Do you understand that you may never be 458 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: able to tolerate a piece of bread again? Do you 459 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: have that understanding? Do you understand that you will have 460 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: to take multivitamins for the rest of your life and 461 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: do blood tests for the rest of your life depending 462 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: on the type of barratric surgery you have. So I 463 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: think it's really important to be one hundred percent informed. 464 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: And as you said, we could probably talk for days 465 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: about barootric surgery. But I have had a wonderful dietitian 466 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: who specializes in barratric surgery on my podcast leand Ward Nutrition. 467 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: So that's episode sixty six if you guys are considering 468 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: it or you know have had it and want some 469 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: more information. Episode sixty six is on bariotric surgery on 470 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: the Lean Ward Nutrition podcast. But I think for me 471 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: it was the nutrient deficiencies I was seeing post surgery, 472 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: the fact that they couldn't get in enough protein. So yes, 473 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: they may have lost twenty thirty kilos, but guess what 474 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: happens guys when you lose twenty thirty forty kilos half 475 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: of your body weight. Do you have any idea how 476 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: much significant loose skin? Like you almost need another surgery 477 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: to get rid of that excess skin. And I would see, 478 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: just from the psychological aspects of it, SUSI. They would 479 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: come in and they'd say, I've lost forty kilos and 480 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: that's great, but I'm more depressed than ever because of 481 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 1: all this loose skin. And they you know, they were 482 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: wearing these you know, they weren't wearing the strapless dresses 483 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 1: on the strapless shirts that they thought they would be 484 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 1: able to wear after losing twenty thirty forty kilos. So 485 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: I always, you know, you and mere being of the 486 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: opinion that the slower the weight loss, the better because 487 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: you know, you don't end up with that excessive amount 488 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: of loose skin. I think losing twenty thirty kilos over 489 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: forty four or five years is wonderful because you can 490 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: kind of tone and the muscle on the body can 491 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: kind of get used to that and adapt to that 492 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: over time. But twenty thirty forty kilos in three six months, 493 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: you're going to have a hell of a lot of 494 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: excess skin. So some of the body image issues that 495 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: go with that as well. You know, as you said, 496 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: clients weren't happy. They were they were more unhappy after 497 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: losing thirty forty kilos than they were plus thirty forty kilos. 498 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: So I think the long term follow up from a 499 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: dietitian absolutely, and from a psychologist absolutely, and even just 500 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: you know, if you look at the guidelines to bioatric surgery, 501 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: you should be under the care of both a dietitian 502 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: and a psychologist. And many of the clients that we 503 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: were seeing just weren't. And it was sad a lot 504 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: of them. You know, some of them were probably funded 505 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: by the client, but through surgeons as well, and they 506 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: just didn't have that dietitian or that psychology input which 507 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: would have helped them have that understanding and appreciation of 508 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: how difficult this journey can be for a lot of people. 509 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: I think that is a really good point, because I 510 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 2: would find that the people who had signed up to 511 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 2: it very very quickly because they'd had sort of an 512 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 2: information night and it all seemed fantastic, and they hadn't 513 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 2: really considered it over a long period of time. And 514 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 2: so you get some dietetic support generally, but that may 515 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 2: only be five sessions, so after three, six, twelve months, 516 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 2: unless you proactively continue to see a dietitian or as 517 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: you said, a lot don't use the psychologists. For me, 518 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: it's such a big life decision. I would want someone 519 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 2: to be considering it for several years intensely before they 520 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 2: made that decision. So pronounced is the results. And just 521 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 2: last week I had a client. She's only in her 522 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 2: twenties now. Admittedly she had battled significant weight issues right 523 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 2: through her teenage years, but after having it and being 524 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 2: down with severe PCOS right down to sixty kilos, having 525 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 2: lost sixty kilos, it's now creeping up again and we're 526 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 2: having to do exactly the same dietetic intervention that we 527 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: always have, So it's definitely not a quick fix. It's 528 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 2: something that really needs to be considered over a long 529 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 2: period of time. Absolutely, you'll be seeing a dietician regularly 530 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 2: for basically the rest of your life. I'm like you. 531 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 2: I saw a huge number of micronutrient deficiencies and quite 532 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 2: elevated bloods because of oversupplementation, and I just think, you 533 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: know what, sometimes there are still options out there, and 534 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 2: as technology and medical advance, parmacological advances occur as well. 535 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 2: So I'm sort of less and less convinced the longer 536 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 2: I work, particularly having worked in it firsthand. It's quite 537 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: alarming some of the things that she go on. And 538 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 2: some of the people who you would argue are quite 539 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 2: CONTI indicated for this surgery, but you know, mentioned by 540 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 2: the GP, and off they go and within a couple 541 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 2: of months I've had half their stomach removed. And I 542 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 2: think it's a big, big decision, and you really want 543 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: to consider it as a life changing one. Yeah. 544 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: And for me, because I used to work heavily in 545 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: the surgical you know, and ICO and that sort of 546 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: thing in the hospital, the amount of cancer patients that 547 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: I saw, that's something that was always at the back 548 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: of my mind, like when you've only got you know, 549 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: a third of your stomach or half your stomach all less, 550 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: what happens if something does you know, terrible, does happen 551 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: in the future. We have really high nutrient requirements, like 552 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: you do get cancer or something, how is your body 553 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: able to keep up with those really high nutrient requirements. 554 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: You'll be on liquid supplements basically for the rest of 555 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: your life. So you get to think long term as well, 556 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: like how am I going to cope with this? If 557 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: you know a lot older struggling to get in some 558 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: nutrients as well, and pregnancy as well, that's a whole 559 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: other battle if you know you've only got half a 560 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: stomach trying to get in the actual nutrients are required 561 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: to support a healthy pregnancy. But it's not that I'm 562 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: against it. I think it does work well for a 563 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: lot of people. But as you said, we need the 564 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: proper types of interventions because you know, some of the 565 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: nutrient deficiencies are just absolutely enormous, and you can absolutely 566 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: cheat the system as well, like we've seen everything. I 567 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: used to have patients blending up chicken nuggets, just drinking 568 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: McDonald's thick shakes to get the calories in which is 569 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: you know, you might think, oh, I'll never do that, 570 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: but you know, you can get pretty deaf spread sometimes 571 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: people can. So you know, we've seen it all. We've 572 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: seen people just having ice cream for breakfast because you know, 573 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: they're on a free flow of diet for the first 574 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: couple of weeks post surgery, and they didn't like the 575 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: skim milk or they didn't like the protein powder that 576 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: was recommended, so they just thought that'd have some ice 577 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: cream or costed for a couple of weeks, and then 578 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: they're wondering why their weight's not coming down as it should. 579 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: So I think that there are a lot of ways 580 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: to I guess like cheat the system in that way, 581 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: but I think for a lot of people, it's really 582 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: that long term consideration, that input of psychology, I really 583 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: do find is the biggest thing for so many people. 584 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: Because you can't out exercise a bad diet, you can't 585 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: use surgical intervention for a bad diet. It will always, always, 586 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: always catch up with you long term. And as you said, 587 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: we've seen it all. We've seen people lose half their 588 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: body weight and years later they started to stack it 589 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: back home and again because they never got down to 590 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: the root causes of the emotional eating and the binge 591 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: eating and the using food for comfort, and those things 592 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: will always be there unless you get on top of 593 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: it first. So you know, spend some time, spend even 594 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: years if you need to, going through the proper channels, 595 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: working with a psychologist, getting to the bottom of these issues, 596 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: working with the dietician to establish a great healthy baseline 597 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: first before you then go and get you some sort 598 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: of surgery or something like that, because it is irreversible 599 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: and you can't change your mind once you've got it, 600 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: and there are a lot of health implications that can 601 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: come with it as well. Sure you might be twenty 602 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: thirty kilos down, but if you're then superman nourished and 603 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: your hair's falling out and you have a ton of 604 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: loose skin and you can't eat, you you know, you 605 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: can't go out for your favorite steak dinner because you 606 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: just can't tolerate that. Is that the way that you 607 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: ought to live your life? Is probably just an important 608 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: question that I would pose to a lot of people. 609 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: Considering it one hundred percent, I couldn't agree more. I 610 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 2: think it's a massive decision. Don't take it light harder, 611 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 2: and if you think it's an excuse to not exercise 612 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 2: and not so worry about your diet, you couldn't be 613 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 2: further from the truth. If anything, people who have had 614 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 2: barriergic surgery have to work hard as hard as they 615 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 2: ever have to keep it off long term, just as 616 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 2: the rest of us do. So it's definitely not a quick, 617 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 2: fixed solution. 618 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: And then moving on, Susie to our product of the week. 619 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: I saw these Bird's eye ones. I think when they 620 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: first came out a few weeks ago. It's really excited. 621 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: I text them straight to you, a couple of different 622 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: ones in the range, and we picked one of the 623 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: It's not as good as some of the other ones. 624 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: But we're looking at the bird's Eye cauliflower rice today 625 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: and you tried this one, you said it was delicious. 626 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure the boys loved it as well. We picked 627 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: the couliflower rice mix mushroom and peer risotto one, So 628 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: do you want to talk our listeners through it. I 629 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: think that just the standard plane bird's eye cauliflower rice 630 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: is actually really good and from memory has a five 631 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: star health rating. This one's got a four star health rating, 632 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: which if you guys listened to our podcast a few 633 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: weeks ago. We did chat through the health Star ratings. 634 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: But there is quite a few ingredients in this one 635 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: which makes it maybe not as great as the plain 636 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: version of it. But as you said, it is quite tasty, 637 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: isn't it, so maybe the trade off is worth it. 638 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 2: Well. These veggie rices have been available from Bird's Eye 639 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 2: for a while now that I think there's a broccoli one, 640 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 2: there's a sweet potato one, there's a pure cauliflower one, 641 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 2: and whilst they're not inexpensive, they are very convenient because 642 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 2: of course, if you have to take a whole cauliflower 643 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 2: and blitz it in the food processor to be a 644 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 2: substitute or a low carb substitute for rice, it could 645 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 2: be quite messy and time consuming. So I am a 646 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 2: big fan of them. But what tickle my fancy was 647 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 2: when I saw a mushroom risotto and also there's a 648 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 2: fried rice one that had recently been released, and I 649 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 2: got it at Coal's last week to try it. Because 650 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 2: I love risotto. It's probably my favorite Italian dish, but 651 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 2: because it's so dense in carbohydrate, and to get a 652 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 2: good risotto is actually quite hard. There's an art to risotto, 653 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 2: you know you've really got to have I would only 654 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 2: really have it if I was going to a really 655 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 2: great Italian restaurant and knew that it was going to 656 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 2: have one cheese exactly exactly the cream or it's not 657 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 2: a good RESULTO. Yeah. So seeing this one, this is 658 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 2: the veggie rice collie rice mixed risso and pea, and 659 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 2: so I tried it on the weekend with a friend 660 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 2: of mine. Now, to start with, I only have seen 661 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 2: it at Coal so far, So if you're shopping at Woollies, 662 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 2: I haven't seen it there yet. And the ingredient enlist 663 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: is actually pretty cleanly and like it's forty percent coliflower, 664 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 2: so it's advertised to seventy percent less carb than regular 665 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 2: rice based rosotto. It's got eleven percent mushroom onion, different 666 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 2: types of mushies. But it does have cream in it. 667 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 2: This one because when I looked at the nutritionals it 668 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 2: actually she looked quite high in fat. Now it's a 669 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: five hundred grand bag and they're saying it's only two serves, 670 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 2: which makes it quite a big serve. And it comes 671 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 2: in at six point eight grams of protein over three 672 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 2: hundred calories per serve. But it came in at seventeen 673 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 2: grams of fat and eight point three of which was saturated, 674 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 2: which is recently high for a side dish or a 675 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 2: veggie based dish, twelve point three grams of carbohydrate, obviously 676 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 2: significantly less than a rice based variety, four point five 677 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 2: grams of sugars per serve, nine point eight grams of 678 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 2: dietary fiber, which is actually huge. He's the veggie benefits. 679 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,239 Speaker 2: But it was delicious, so my friend made it up. 680 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 2: Now we made it into four serves. I think two 681 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 2: is a large serve. I wouldn't actually probably have that 682 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 2: much in it, As I said to my friend, who 683 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 2: enjoys cooking as well, I would probably add extra veggies 684 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 2: to it. You could easily add spinach to that. It 685 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 2: would work really well. With extra piece. You could really 686 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: bulk it up. But the good news is if you 687 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 2: are a little bit more mindful of fat, even though 688 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 2: that's not that much overall, like a piece of meat, 689 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 2: won't be that much less because of the cream in it. 690 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 2: It's sort of quite high and saturated fat. But there 691 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: is another one of fried rice variety which is nowhere 692 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 2: near at hind fat because that's just basically utilizing some 693 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 2: of the Asian flavors through it, some extra veggies, and 694 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 2: my friend cooked it with an egg on top, so 695 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 2: they did it like a fried egg through it, like 696 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 2: naz it going and it was a really delicious dish. 697 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: So I think occasionally the mushroom rizoto one is still 698 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 2: a really good choice. It's delicious, it's much lower carbohydrate, 699 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 2: it really had a good flavory, and for a processed food, 700 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 2: because of course people are saying, oh, why would you 701 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 2: encourage people to eat a processed food, Because I think 702 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 2: it's a great way to increase vegetable consumption. It's incredibly convenient, 703 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 2: it's going to be a million times better than a 704 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 2: rosotta that you buy from a takeaway shop. And it 705 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 2: tastes great. And as I said, the fried rice variety, 706 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 2: all the plain ones are brilliant. They're great additions, well 707 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 2: done to birds, so I'm a massive fan. I think 708 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 2: they're a great way for people to eat a whole 709 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 2: lot more veggies. Like almost ten grams of dietary fiber perserve, 710 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 2: like that's outstanding. So they're well worth a look, and 711 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 2: I really really liked it. I'm going to be adding it, 712 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 2: but as I said, I would make it last four 713 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 2: serves just because of that sort of fat content is 714 00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 2: relatively high. 715 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: What I would do is I would buy the bag 716 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: of the playing Caulifly rice and mix that through it 717 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: to bulk it out a little bit and bring down 718 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: that calorie load. And then I'd add some quality protein 719 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: to that as well. So what we know is really 720 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: important for metabolism and lean muscle maintenance long term, and 721 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: even just fullness and satisfaction from a meal, So I'd 722 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: add some grilled tofu or a bit of fish or 723 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: some chicken or something like that to the dish to 724 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: really sort of complete that meal. And as you said, 725 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: it's a quick and easy dish, isn't it's really high 726 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: diet through fibers, super high veggies. It tastes good, and 727 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: we can sort of balance that out just by adding 728 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: a couple of extra things to it. So I buy 729 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: a bag of this, a bag of the playing Colie rice, 730 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: and a bit of quality protein, and as you said, 731 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: maybe just add a couple of extra veggies to bulk 732 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: it out, and I think you've got yourself a really, 733 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: really wonderful and tasty Friday night kind of quick and 734 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: easy meal. 735 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 2: It was so quick to make, and I had the 736 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 2: parmesan now ready to add it because I said to 737 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 2: my friend, I will add you know what, we didn't 738 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 2: need to It was really creamy without it, so we 739 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 2: didn't have to add extra fat for any flavor. But 740 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 2: it was literally ready in five minutes, so the convenience 741 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 2: factor was second to none, and it was five point fifty. 742 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: It's got a cheese mix in there as well. Yes, 743 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: it's got cream and a cheese mix in it, which 744 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: I think helps. 745 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 2: Which is why it's got a bit of fat to 746 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 2: it doesn't have a calcium on there, so I'm not 747 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 2: sure how much we're getting from that, but you're right, 748 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 2: if you even added the four dollar veggie rice, it's 749 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,239 Speaker 2: still a ten dollars or less meal, and then if 750 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 2: you added a little bit of extra protein, So very 751 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 2: cost effective and very very tasty. And if you're a 752 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 2: bit more mindful of fat, seek out the fried rice variety. 753 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 2: But big thumbs up from me, I'm a big fan. Yeah. 754 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: I definitely like it as well, because I just do 755 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: not have time to blend my own cauliflower rice these days. 756 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: And as she said, it course everywhere, so i'd much 757 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: rather just bind back from the frozen section. 758 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more. I almost broke my blend to 759 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 2: trying to make my own cauliflower rice. It was like 760 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 2: flying everywhere and it was hard. I was like, this 761 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 2: is way too different, all right. So for our final 762 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 2: segment of the show, this is a listener question. We 763 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 2: have had a lot as well there, so there's some 764 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 2: common themes come up, and we thought it was a 765 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 2: really good one to talk about because it was about 766 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 2: protein balls. And in our pre show discussion you said 767 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 2: to me, I think their energy balls, and I think 768 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 2: that sums it up really really well. So we're talking 769 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 2: about sort of the products that you find often in 770 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 2: the health food section. You buy them individually, sometimes at 771 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 2: service stations, and they are sold just protein or energy balls, 772 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 2: and so the question is are they actually healthy? And 773 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 2: I'll start by saying that I don't generally buy protein balls, 774 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 2: even though I've got some recipes on my Instagram and 775 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 2: I know people love them, because I just find they're 776 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 2: so high in calories for such a small volume of 777 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 2: food that they're not how I choose to use my calories. 778 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 2: So they come in generally between at least two hundred calories, 779 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 2: if not up to three hundred because generally speakingly and 780 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 2: they're made using dates and some sort of sugar to 781 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 2: bind them, and some fats and nuts, and the combination, 782 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 2: whilst is very healthy, is very very calorie dense. So 783 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 2: I know they're popular, but I sort of only tend 784 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 2: to use them with really really active people, sometimes teenagers 785 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 2: in their lunch box or my athletes, because it really 786 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 2: is close to a meal in a relatively small serve 787 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 2: of food. 788 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: I've seen them up to four hundred plus calories as well, 789 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: so I don't really turn them protein balls. I turn 790 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: them energy balls or energy bombs, some of the you know, 791 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,479 Speaker 1: the worst ones. As you said, I don't generally recommend 792 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,479 Speaker 1: them for my clients. I'm much more of a fan 793 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: of if you want something, you know, a healthy baked 794 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: treat or something like that, I'm much more of a 795 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: fan of either think that you want the most. I'd 796 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: rather you had a little bit of proper brownie than 797 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: trying to bake these energy balls. And the question from 798 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: the listener was how healthy are they and can we 799 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: eat them every day? So I, despite being healthy ingredients 800 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: in the majority of them, like dates and nuts, and 801 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: seeds and peanut butter. As you mentioned, occasionally they mix 802 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of protein powder through them as well. 803 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't call them a daily edition if your goal 804 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: is fat loss, if you're super active, you're wanting to 805 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: gain weight or muscle, or even just maintain your weight, 806 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: and you're very, very active, and yeah, they could be 807 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: a great addition for you to have every single day. 808 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 1: But I think for the large majority of our listeners, 809 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: from what you guys are telling us, the goal is 810 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: fat loss, and so I really don't think that these 811 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: are appropriate. As you mentioned, Suzi, they're just kind of 812 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: energy bombs. I mean they're done in two or three 813 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: buds and there's like three four hundred calories and you're like, okay, 814 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: well what now, I'm still hungry. So for me, they 815 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: don't they're not feeling. 816 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,320 Speaker 2: There's not much protein in them. Often, you know, me 817 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 2: as low as six scraps. 818 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: Three grams, sometimes lowerf like if I was looking. 819 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 2: At a protein supplement, you know, I'm looking at like ten, fifteen, 820 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 2: twenty grams. And sometimes you look at them and you're right, 821 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 2: they're actually not overly high in protein. So again it's 822 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 2: quite misleading because to make quite a high protein ball, 823 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 2: you have to add a lot because you can't just 824 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 2: add nuts because you're adding heaps of fat, so that 825 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 2: bumps the calories up. So you have to add a 826 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 2: lot of protein powder. Now, protein powder is a pure 827 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 2: concentrate doesn't taste great, so then to get a tasting great, 828 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 2: you've got to add all the sugars. So it's kind 829 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 2: of fighting this battle of when you're trying to get 830 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 2: the protein up around at least ten fifteen grams. It's 831 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 2: a lot of protein powder, which also makes them really expensive. 832 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 2: So you know, maybe you know a long time ago 833 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 2: now on the Nutrition Couch podcast, we spoke about peanut 834 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 2: butter paste and perhaps if you're making your own, you 835 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 2: could use that. And you will see on the recipes 836 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 2: I have on my Instagram page. I've got quite a 837 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 2: few protein balls there. They're not overly high in protein. Again, 838 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 2: I think they're ranging from five to six grams. But 839 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 2: I really am quite specific with how many dates and 840 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 2: things I use to try and keep the calories down, 841 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 2: and I tend to use essences for sweetness rather than 842 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,280 Speaker 2: the sugar. But yeah, it's really really challenging. They're absolutely 843 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 2: energy balls, So yeah, great for teenagers or active people 844 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 2: and not so great for the rest of us. 845 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I sort of still consider them quote unquote 846 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: a treat, even though there's not like we're bulking them 847 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: out with chocolate or candy, or it's not ice cream 848 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 1: or anything. I sort of think that, you know, those 849 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: things are better off eaten in their whole forms, you know, 850 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: you know, a small handful of nuts, or one or 851 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: two whole module dates, or like a teaspin of peanut 852 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: butter on some celery is a much better alternative because 853 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: you're getting the volume from the food versus when you're 854 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: blending it all down. It's like juice, Like you could 855 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: easily have a cup of orange juice, which is about 856 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: four or five oranges blended, but you couldn't sit down 857 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 1: and eat four or five oranges. Your body would be like, nah, 858 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm done, tap out after like two orange juice, because 859 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: that volume is there from the food. Same with energy bills. 860 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: You could probably eat ten to feel full, versus you 861 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: couldn't eat like three or four cups of nuts, three 862 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: or four dates, a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter, 863 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: and a couple of scoops of protein. Powdered which went 864 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: into the ten protein balls that you would eat just 865 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,439 Speaker 1: to feel full. So I'm much more of a fan 866 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: of volume dense eating, which I know you are too, Susie. 867 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: So I generally don't recommend these my clients at all, 868 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: as you said, unless they're actively trying to gain weight, 869 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: they are malnourished, or their energy or activity requirements are 870 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: super super high. I am, am yeah, much more a 871 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: fan of eating the food separately for the volume. 872 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 2: Well, they're expensive as well, like they retail it, you know, 873 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 2: two dollars on sale, but up to four or five 874 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,839 Speaker 2: dollars per serve, Like that's really reasonably expensive food. And 875 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,320 Speaker 2: so someone, as I said, if someone likes them, maybe, 876 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 2: and we're seeing more and more of them even in 877 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 2: the main music bars section. But very rarely do they 878 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 2: have much protein in them, I find, and the ones 879 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 2: that do are quite high calories because they're made with 880 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 2: the nutspread and things like that. So I think it's 881 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 2: a little bit of Yeah, enjoy them as an occasional 882 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 2: treade or if you're really on the run and need 883 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 2: something quick and easy at the service station, but it 884 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 2: wouldn't definitely be on my regular supermarket list or as 885 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 2: products I'm recommending to clients a lot. 886 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: And I saw this great infographic the other day on 887 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 1: it must have been a few weeks or months ago now, 888 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: on a dietitian's account, and she said, this is my 889 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: version of Nature's protein ball. And she had a protein 890 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: ball just about three four hundred calories with maybe four 891 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: grams of protein in it, and on the right side 892 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: of the screen she compared it to an egg and 893 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: she's like, this is Nature's protein more, you know, seventy calories, 894 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: six grams of protein, like just wonderful. And I thought 895 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: I couldn't have said it better myself, Like that's you know, 896 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: I would much rather have a baled egg and some 897 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: veggie sticks with hummus or a tub of yogurt with 898 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: a piece of fruit as a really great quality snack. 899 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: It's going to be lower calorie, it's going to be 900 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: higher protein than some of these energy bombs that you know, 901 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: they're marketed it is super healthy and super high protein, 902 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: when in reality they're really not. And also, I think 903 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: we've just gone a little bit protein crazy as well, 904 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: haven't we. We just most of us, if we're getting quality 905 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 1: protein in our main meals, we just don't need that 906 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,240 Speaker 1: much in our snacks either. We should really be focusing 907 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: on volume and trying to get in adequate serves of 908 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: vegetables and fruits and that sort of thing, and you know, 909 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: a small handful of nuts every day, like try to 910 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: get in those recommendations rather than try to make everything 911 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: super fancy and delicious tasting like. 912 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I know that would have been Paula Norris, 913 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 2: the Moving Dieticians. She does some great infographics if you 914 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 2: don't follow her, but I did see that too. It 915 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 2: it's very smart. Yeah, absolutely right. Sometimes simple is the 916 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 2: best way to go. 917 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: What offul so, Susie. Again, That brings us to the 918 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: end of another episode for the Nutrition Couch for another week. 919 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: So if you guys haven't done so already, please subscribe 920 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: to the podcast and we will be delivered straight into 921 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: your podcast inbox every Sunday morning.
