1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Who is in your support network? Is it your best friend, 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: your husband, your kids. The science clearly shows us that 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: we basically become like the people we spend our time with, 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: which means if your friends and family are not supportive 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 1: of your health and diet goals, things are going to 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,600 Speaker 1: be pretty challenging. On today's episode of The Nutrition Couch, 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: we talk about support networks and why they are so 8 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: predictive of weight loss success. Hi, I'm Susie Burrow and 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: Emily and Wood, and as two of Australia's leading dieticians 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: who specialize in evidence based nutrition, we bring you The 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: Nutrition Couch, a bi weekly chat on everything that is 12 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: new in the world of food, diet and nutrition, as 13 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: well as support networks. Today we tackle the topical issue 14 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: of extreme fasts and Leanne has got a great example 15 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: of some of these doing the rounds and we share 16 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: our thoughts on them and for all the rice lovers 17 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: out there, we take a closer look at all the 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: different varieties of rice you can find in supermarkets and 19 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: we rate our favorite types. But tickly, Anne, what is 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: going on up there in Brisy. 21 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: It's not too bad, So I feel like Brisbane in 22 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: general is we coming from the pretty devastating floods we 23 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: had a couple of weeks back, I know, as parts 24 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 2: of New South Wales got hit pretty hard as well, 25 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: so they clean up sort of happening. Community spirit's pretty high. 26 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,279 Speaker 2: I feel like Ossie's are pretty resilient. You know, whenever 27 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 2: we're a bit down, everyone pitches in, they help out. 28 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 2: So I feel like the community spirit in general it's 29 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: coming back up up here. I think, you know, the 30 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: flood sort of hit us out of nowhere and we 31 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 2: didn't sort of know what was coming, so you know 32 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: a lot of my friends and family got affected as well. 33 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: It was pretty devastating. But yeah, I feel like Brisbane 34 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: we're back on the rise. You know, we've supported each 35 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 2: other and we're coming good again. So if any of 36 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: our listeners were affected by these horrible floods a few 37 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 2: weeks ago now or probably a few months ago, when 38 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: you're listening, yeah, stay strong and we're definitely thinking of you, 39 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: and we're a pretty resilient bunch of us, Ossie. So 40 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: we'll be back on our feet in no time, I feel. 41 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: And finally we should be able to get up to Brisbane. 42 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: It was a year ago that we first recorded our 43 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: demos of the nutrition Couch, and then it's taken a 44 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: year to come back up. So I'm hoping that the 45 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: water stays away and we can get back up there 46 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: and reconvene in person for the first time in a year. Absolutely, 47 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: So fingers crossed the universe works in our favor, higers Cross. 48 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: So in this week's media article, Leanne, you sent me 49 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: a really interesting story on what we would call a 50 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: more extreme fast. Now, indeed, we have spoken at length 51 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: about intimate and fasting regimes on the podcast, and there's 52 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: huge amount of interest in them from both a weight 53 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: control perspective but also a longevity perspective, which, if we're honest, 54 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: that is where the research around fasting first came from. 55 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: It was about the health cellular health and anti aging 56 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: approaches as opposed to weight loss. Now, what I haven't 57 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: seen is a couple of these more extreme fast but 58 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: you came across one recently which I think is really 59 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: interesting and well worth a discussion because it's about extended 60 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: fasting and whether there is a health benefit or specifically 61 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: a weight loss benefit. So which is the one we're 62 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: going to talk about today? 63 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I just I sent this to you, Susie, 64 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: because I had three clients in one week asked me 65 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: about this. And my clients are pretty savvy, like they 66 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 2: know how to, you know, drawl through the evidence. They 67 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: know that if they're going to ask me a question, 68 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: they have to sort of see if it has a 69 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: bit of merit to it. That they're really good at that. 70 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: And I thought, you know what, if I have three 71 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 2: of my ladies asking me about the same thing in 72 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: one week, I think it's well worth a chat and 73 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: well worth investigating. So what really intrigued me about what's 74 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 2: called prolong I think it's called the prolong fasting. I'm 75 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: going to call it a diet for example, so it's 76 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: pro l o N And it really is designed, you know, 77 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 2: from a longevity perspective, and as you mentioned, that's where 78 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: the research on fasting comes from. And this prolonged I 79 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: guess fasting program was created by Walter Longo, who has 80 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: a PhD in longevity research. So he's one of the 81 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: I would say probably most well respective research is in 82 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: longevity in the world probably, So I was I was 83 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 2: pretty intrigued. And it's based on years of his research 84 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: around longevity, and you know, he's got some pretty impressive 85 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: outcomes and that sort of thing. So the prolonged diet 86 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: is it's a five day fasting protocol where essentially you 87 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: sign up, they send you a box which contains all 88 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: of your food. I think you get a couple of bars, 89 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: a couple of drinks, a couple of herbal teas. It's 90 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: pretty extreme from it like a calorie perspective, it's very 91 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 2: very low calorie. It's one hundred percent plant based, it's 92 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 2: gluten free, there's no GMOs, no artificial additives, so it's 93 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: you know, promoted, is very quote unquote healthy. But I 94 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 2: think the biggest benefits out of it are supposed to 95 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: be the fact that it helps with longevity long term. 96 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: But I really did feel like when I was researching 97 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: it on the website and what I was reading reviews 98 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 2: from people, a lot of people were talking about from 99 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: a weight based perspective, so I think that that probably 100 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: is a discussion in itself, but from the longevity side 101 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 2: of things, there was a little bit of research. Well 102 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 2: there's you know, it's built on his research over years 103 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 2: and years and years. So he's the director of the 104 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: Longevity Institute in the University of Southern California in LA 105 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: and he works with companies such as like the Mayo Clinic, 106 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: so really big, well respected company, Susie in terms of, 107 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: you know, recommending for these companies things to do with 108 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 2: longevity and health long term. So I found that it 109 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: was interesting that he created a protocol or program, but 110 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: it really does to me sort of it sells me 111 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: on more of a weight loss perspective. And indeed, the 112 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 2: studies that they have done on this prolonged diet was 113 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: I think it was funded by the company itself. There 114 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: was one that said, basically a clinical study of the 115 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: participants who completed the five days of the prolonged cycle, 116 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: so they actually did three cycles SUSI. They did it 117 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: once a month, so for five days every month for 118 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 2: three months, and at the end of that study, the 119 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: participants are an average weight loss of about two point 120 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 2: three kilos, so most of this was primarily abdominal fat. 121 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: They actually managed to maintain the majority of their lean 122 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 2: body mass. And I think this was because you know, 123 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: it was only a five day fasting period. It wasn't 124 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: something like it was like a twenty eight day diet 125 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: or a three month diet. They just set it for 126 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: five days once a month for three months. But when 127 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 2: you think about that SUSI, it's quite expensive. I think 128 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: it's two hundred and sixty nine US dollars for the 129 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: five day fast, And in that fast you get you 130 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: can only basically consume what comes in your box that's 131 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 2: delivered to you. So there's what's called L Crackers and 132 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: L Choco Crispar and L bar for energy. There's a 133 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: very flavor drink and orange flavor drink, a couple of 134 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: Herbal tea bags, and a couple of I think there's 135 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 2: three four five suit mixes. You get one suit mix 136 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: a day, a bar, a couple of Herbal teas. So 137 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: it's very very low calorie. It almost reminded me of 138 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 2: like a VLCD because you get you know, the bars 139 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: and the soups. You're sort of replacing your food with 140 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 2: a couple of these products. It's very low calorie, but 141 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: it's supposed to have you know ingredients in there and 142 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: the macronutrient distribution to promote cellular renewal. The website says 143 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: that it supports metabolic health, it helps with mental clarity. 144 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: That five Day Fast SuDS is two hundred and sixty 145 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: nine US dollars. So to do that across a three 146 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 2: month period, so once a month for three months is 147 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: comes to eight hundred and seven usd And to lose 148 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 2: an average of you know, two point three kilos across 149 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 2: three months for eight hundred US dollars, which is well 150 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: over one thousand dollars in Australian dollars for you know, 151 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: two kilos. I really do think from a weight loss perspective, 152 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: you're better off working one on one with a dietician 153 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: and sort of not spending that sort of absorbant amount 154 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 2: of money. But from a long de perspective, you know, 155 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 2: perhaps if our listeners were interested in it, it could 156 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: be helpful. But there is a big disclaim, or not 157 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: a big disclaimer, a small disclaimer on the bottom of 158 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: the website that says prolong is not intended to diagnose, treat, 159 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: cure or prevent any diseases, and individual results may vary. 160 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: So some people on average lost two point three kilos, 161 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: some would have lost absolutely nothing, and a couple more 162 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: would have lost maybe a bit more three four five kilos. 163 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: So I think from a weight loss perspective, there are 164 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 2: definitely probably better things on the market, and indeed perhaps 165 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: just something like intimate fasting may actually be more beneficial 166 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: and a lot more affordable for a lot of people. 167 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: But the research around long Debuty I did think was 168 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 2: quite interesting, and the website does recommend doing it a 169 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 2: few times a year to promote you know that cellular 170 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: renewal and metabolic health and turnover that we do know 171 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: is important, you know, metabolically. So what do you think 172 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: about this, Suzie. It's I think it's interesting, but it's 173 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 2: probably got more of a health halo attachment to it 174 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: than you know. The research actually shows there's not a 175 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: whole lot of research on his protocol at the moment. 176 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: I think this as a classic example where a researcher 177 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: has tried to successfully make a commercial enterprise out of 178 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: their research and basically make some money. Because we have 179 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: known for a really long time that there are a 180 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: number of benefits to fasting when it comes to cellull 181 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: health and longevity. As we've mentioned, you know, this was 182 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: where the intermittent fasting regimes began about many minis ago. 183 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: We knew that primates, if they cut twenty five percent 184 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: of their calories, that they would live longer lives, it 185 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: would be much healthier. So it's not for me anything new, 186 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: and these are just ways of spinning it into a 187 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: new regime that people can sell for really really high, 188 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: really high cost points, because I find it really interesting. 189 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: You know, they talk about oh, it's got no process stuff, 190 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: that's got no gluten free, but you know you're feeding 191 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: yourself with processed bars and meal replacements, like again, that's 192 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: not new. So I think that the take home message 193 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: is that any fasting program will have some benefits if 194 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: you can do it and it doesn't ignite feelings of 195 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: deprivation and binge eating, which is always my concern with 196 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: extreme fasting, whether it's the five two, whether it's a 197 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: program like this which is severely let's be honest, calorie restricted. 198 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: So for many of my clients, many of my female clients, 199 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: as soon as they feel restricted on any kind of 200 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: dietary regime, it can trigger binge eating. It can trigger 201 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: feelings of restriction and the diet cycle, which we surely 202 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: do not want to be promoting. So I think for 203 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: people who are not as vulnerable to that, if they 204 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: wanted to incorporate fasting into their life, for some of 205 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: these huge benefits which absolutely come when it's to hormonal health, 206 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: cellular health, anti aging, particularly that you can do it 207 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: yourself just following the five two without having to spend 208 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: huge amounts of money on these programs. So the way 209 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: they lure you in is they say, if you pay 210 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: all this money, you're going to get these benefits. But 211 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: as I said, you and I could design something very 212 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: similar for a fraction of the price. You know, it's 213 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: basically herbal tea, probably a broth type soup, and maybe 214 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: a meal replacement bar. So I can do that for 215 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: about five dollars a day. You don't need to pay 216 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: for these programs. So I'm always very suspicious when suddenly 217 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: researchers have become and promote some programs if it's breaking 218 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: the world news cycle. There's nothing new in this other 219 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: than it's an extremely restrictive fasting protocol that if you 220 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: follow you may or may not get results. But as 221 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: I said, you can get those exact results, if not more, 222 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: for a whole lot cheaper. And it's not a unique 223 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: benefit from anything in this program that I can see. 224 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I thought that the uniqueness of it would 225 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 2: be interesting from the longevity perspective, But when you actually 226 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 2: look at the clinical study that they did. It just 227 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: talks about weight loss, and I think, oh, like, I 228 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 2: actually wanted to see the benefits. I know, you're not 229 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: going to see it from following people for three months. 230 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 2: You're not going to see benefits in terms of longevity. 231 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: But I did want to see some sort of you know, 232 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 2: so there were newer processes or something happening from you know, 233 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: a metabolic longevity perspective. But really the results just talked 234 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 2: about weight loss. So I thought, like, You've got some 235 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 2: great qualifications, You've done some fabulous research in the past, 236 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: but this probably is just another weight loss program. Let's 237 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: be honest, isn't it. 238 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: It is there, and that's what they are, you know, 239 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: their weight loss programs, and the reason they're marketed on 240 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: weight loss and not longevity is that weight loss cells 241 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: aple won't quick weight loss. They want to feel like 242 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: something's working. They want to throw some money at a 243 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: problem and have it fixed. But unfortunately, physiology is a 244 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: lot more complicated than that, and you have to burn 245 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: fat and that takes time, you know. So again, as 246 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: I said, it's just that any weight loss program is 247 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: generally there with the intent of making money. Unfortunately, and 248 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: this is another example where they've put some you know, 249 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: acting like it's a unique new program that no one 250 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: else has got, and it's got this well. So there's 251 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: so many programs that mimic this. I'm sure you're writing 252 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: off the back of some strong research, but we've known 253 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: about this research for quite some time, so absolutely, I 254 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: think that for me, the TAKEO message to anyone listening 255 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: is sure, if you want to keep yourselves as healthy 256 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: as possible, there is strong evidence to show that's cycling 257 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: low calorie periods, even an extended fast overnight or a 258 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: low calorie day every so often. There are benefits to 259 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: doing that if it doesn't induce any of those restrictive 260 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: type biddeness type cycles and indeedly end when so many 261 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: of us over eat on a day to day basis, 262 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: having a light day every now and again, or you know, 263 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: a period where for a couple of days you may 264 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: only have lower calorie foods like soups and salads. It's 265 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: not a bad thing, but you don't have to pay 266 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: huge amounts of money to do it this way, because 267 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: ultimately you're just lighting someone else's pockets. And you know, 268 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: there's so many factors that influence longevity. There's genetics. It 269 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: doesn't mean just because you do something like this you're 270 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: going to live a longer life. It's about a holistic 271 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 1: approach long term and having strong dietary foundations where if 272 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: you can can include incorporate a lower calorie day every 273 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: so often consistently over the course of your life and 274 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: keep your weight controlled. That's one of the best things 275 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: we can do for all of our health to support 276 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: a longer life. But it's not ultimately in our control either, 277 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: so we do have to be a little bit careful 278 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: about what we promise when it comes to any kind 279 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: of dietary regime. 280 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 2: And you mentioned genetics, and now the big one that 281 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 2: really promotes longevity is your environment as well. You know, 282 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: if you live in a place that's highly polluted, if 283 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 2: you smoke, if you drink a lot of alcohol, if 284 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 2: you don't wear sunscreen when you go out. There are 285 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 2: a lot of factors that also, you know, from an 286 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 2: environmental perspective, actually can reduce long deevity as well. So 287 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 2: it's not just what we put in our mouths. There's 288 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: a whole lot of other factors that go into it 289 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 2: as well. But I will wrap us up Susie with 290 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 2: saying with fasting we have talked about, you know, there 291 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: are definitely benefits, there is research to support it. It 292 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 2: is absolutely not recommended for pregnancy, breastfeeding, or anybody that 293 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 2: has higher energy requirements you might be undergoing, I don't know, 294 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,719 Speaker 2: chemotherapy for an aggressive type of cancer or something like that, 295 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: or if you have a background of disordered eating or 296 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 2: in eating disorder, fasting is absolutely not something that we 297 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 2: would recommend. So I just wanted to be very clear 298 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 2: about that on the podcast. 299 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: Susie and I agree, and I think if you straight 300 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: away the thought of feeling restricted or any diet induces 301 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: a strong emotional response, it's probably not the right program 302 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: for you. You've ultimately, as you said, got to feel 303 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: good about your program and you enjoy doing it and 304 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: it can be sustainable, and then you're on the right track. 305 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: But what you talked about, Leanne isn't off topic about 306 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: what we're going to move to next, which is our environment, 307 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: because we thought, you know, I've had a lot of 308 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: clients really struggling at this time of year to maintain 309 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: the momentum they've had with the new year, with their 310 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: lifestyle choices, because of course life has picked up. We're 311 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: in full swing with the kids, and work is back. 312 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: A lot of us are going back into the office. 313 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: We've got longer days, a lot of stress around, and 314 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it can be hard to find 315 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: the energy and the time to dedicate to making strong 316 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: lifestyle choices when it comes to our diet and exercise, 317 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: and we don't necessarily have the mental space to commit 318 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: to planning and all the things we need to do 319 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: to keep on tracks. So a number of my clients 320 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: have really been struggling with that. So we thought it 321 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: was a really opportune time to talk a little bit 322 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: about support networks because we've known for a long time 323 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: that basically, in life in general, not just about diet 324 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: and lifestyle choices, but with all of our choices, we 325 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: ultimately become like the people we spend our time with. 326 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: So if you are with a partner who is not 327 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: overly healthy, who loves a drink, who loves to eat out, 328 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: who sits in front of the couch and eats, you know, 329 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: junk food each night, or if you're in an office 330 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: environment and spend many hours a day there where no 331 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: one takes a lunch break, no one moves from their 332 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: desk all day and Uber eats is on the frequent 333 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: call you will Ultimately, the research shows develop some of 334 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: those lifestyle habits. It's like cosmosis. We just pick them 335 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: up over time. And as such, often in relationships we're 336 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: gaining weight, or in family environments, kids are mimicking adults 337 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: in terms of their lifestyle choices and how healthy they are. 338 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: And so when you're struggling lyand with making positive progress, 339 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: sometimes some pretty big questions need to be asked of 340 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: what's going on in home or what's going on in work, 341 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: and are you able to identify where you may not 342 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: be getting the support that you require, and is it 343 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: time to make some pretty big changes in your relationship, 344 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: in your social circles, in your workplace, because ultimately it's 345 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: not conducive to your best self and your best health position. 346 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: So I'll give you an example that's not too confronting, 347 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: because of course we're not expecting everyone to go on 348 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: quit their jobs because no one takes a lunch break 349 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: where we're much more realistic than that, or leave your 350 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: husband just because he likes to eat chips in front 351 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: of the TV at night. But what we are saying 352 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: is that it's good to just observe and be aware 353 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: of these habits. So a classic one I've had this 354 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: week multiple times with a few of my clients is 355 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: that I've been looking at food diaries and busy mums 356 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: and they're overwhelmed and there'll be, you know, some sort 357 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: of kid snacks there, and I've had a conversation, well, 358 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: you know, why are you buying those kind of doritos 359 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: or lollies? Why are they at home? Because we know 360 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: again that if the food's in the house, you will 361 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: eat it, so why are you buying it? And then 362 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: the feedback is alt's for the kids, you know I 363 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: want And one of my clients actually replied to me, no, 364 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: it's not changeable. I'm not prepared to not buy it, 365 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: which is a choice, and we all have the choice absolutely. 366 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: But the question I went back to my client with 367 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: without being inflammatory, was more the question of why do 368 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: you think it's good for the kids to have that either, 369 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: because you're ultimately teaching them to reward with sweet food 370 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: and have it in the home, and then you're eating 371 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: it and everyone's eating it, and then you're unhappy with 372 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: your weight. You know, there's a lot more negatives I 373 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: would say than come from the positives of having a 374 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: handful of lollies, or if you do want some lollies 375 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: occasionally gone by, some eat them and get rid of them. 376 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: But it was very confronting for that client. She really 377 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: struggled with that question, and I often see it with 378 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: my clients and their partners. I've got another client in 379 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: a relationship and on the weekend she really finds it 380 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: difficult because her partner's not healthy. There's a lot of 381 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: eating out, there's a lot of takeaway, and there's not 382 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: much movement, and she sort of morphs into that pattern 383 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: each week, and ultimately it's stopping her from reaching her goals. 384 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: So it's more I guess the discussion today lean was 385 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: as a reminder that if you're in an environment that's 386 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: not healthy, whether it's your personal relationship, your workplace, it's 387 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: going to be pretty challenging to change it unless you 388 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: make some very big changes in terms of your structure 389 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: and routine. And now perhaps is a time to observe 390 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: in these environments, where are you overeating and what is 391 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: the effect other people are having on that, and where 392 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,239 Speaker 1: Matt you need to make some changes if you are 393 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: to ultimately reach those goals you have for yourself. 394 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And I have this discussion 395 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: with clients all the time, and I honestly think that, 396 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 2: as you said, we're not expecting people to drop their 397 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 2: families or you know, get a new job or anything 398 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: like that. But I do think it does come down 399 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: to just open an honest communication, like if you and 400 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of people use it as 401 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 2: an excuse, Suzy, like my husband eats this on the 402 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 2: couch and then he offers me it, so I eat it. 403 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 2: Or you know, my friends want to go out to 404 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 2: dinner so I had to eat there, Or my habby 405 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 2: got takeaway and he brought this home for me. So 406 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 2: a lot of times I think just having those honest 407 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 2: conversations around Okay, if you want to eat that food, 408 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 2: could you go to the kitchen and eat it, or 409 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 2: could you not offer me it? Because a lot of 410 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 2: times they our partners think that they're you know, helping it, 411 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 2: not helping us out, but just being kind by saying, 412 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 2: you know, I'm eating this, do you want some? Or 413 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 2: they will just continually offer it and we might have 414 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 2: enough willpower to be like no, thank you. The first 415 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: or the second time. But if an hour later they're 416 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: still you know, munching on junk through the movie. Eventually, 417 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 2: I think our willpower lessons over time and we'll be like, OK, 418 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 2: give me a little bit, and then once we sort 419 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: of start eating it, we're doing it very mindlessly and 420 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 2: we eat far more than we ever intend it. So 421 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: I think mindful eating is definitely key when it comes 422 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,479 Speaker 2: to that, you know, overeating on the weekends and that 423 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: sort of thing. But I also feel like having those 424 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 2: conversations with our partners and our loved ones and our 425 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 2: friends and saying what our goals are and why it's 426 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 2: important that we go to a place that has some 427 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 2: healthy options on the menu, or if our partner does 428 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 2: want to eat something like that, can they not offer 429 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 2: it to us or would they mind eating it I 430 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: don't know, earlier in the day, or you know, telling 431 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 2: me so I can go and make a cup of 432 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 2: tea while they eat their Maltesers on the couch during 433 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: the movie. Whatever it may be. But I think just 434 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 2: having that conversation with someone versus kind of like silently 435 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 2: resenting them for doing that, and a lot of times 436 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 2: because if our partner is male, they might be taller, fitter, stronger, 437 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 2: have you know, more muscle, which gives them more metabolism, 438 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 2: which allows them to eat more. I think for a 439 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 2: lot of females we struggle with you know, we sort 440 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 2: of want to do the same thing as our partner 441 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 2: because we feel left out or we think, oh, it's 442 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: not really fair he gets to eat that and he 443 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 2: loses weight? Was that night gain weight? We have to 444 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 2: remember that we're very different people. So if we're sort 445 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 2: of going to adopt the lifestyle of our partner, but 446 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: we have different body types and genetics and that sort 447 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 2: of thing, we're not going to get the same outcome 448 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: as they do. You know, they may be able to 449 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 2: get away with eating a lot more you know, processed 450 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 2: food and drinking more alcohol and eating out more on 451 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 2: the weekend and not gain weight. But if that's happening 452 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 2: to you, it's a conversation that I think that you 453 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 2: just need to have and find, you know, find the 454 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: compromises and find the areas that you guys can work 455 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 2: together on to help you achieve your goal. I think 456 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 2: a lot of it, Susie, with my clients comes down 457 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 2: to lack of communication. They don't say anything they understand 458 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 2: that this is happening, but they don't say anything because 459 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 2: they don't want to upset their partner. But then it 460 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 2: leads to them never really being able to achieve their goals. 461 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,239 Speaker 2: So I think just that open communication is something that 462 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 2: a lot of us can sort of take a step 463 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 2: back in. You know, just say, all right, I'm going 464 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 2: to start with saying what are my goals, discussing them 465 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: with my partner, and discussing the barriers that are coming 466 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: up in terms of stopping me from achieving those goals. 467 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 2: How do you feel I was. 468 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: Going to say the exact same thing if I've said 469 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: to a few clients this week, you know, I'm sure 470 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: have you asked your husband to not order that food? 471 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: Because in my my somewhat limited experience with men, I'll 472 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: be honest, whenever I've asked something of them, they absolutely 473 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: will do it. Very few will not do what you've asked. 474 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: If I said to my husband, could you please not 475 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: buy that because I can't not eat it, he wouldn't. 476 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: He wouldn't do it if I said it was important 477 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: to me, And the same with my friends. You know, 478 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 1: if I said to them, look, i'm really trying to 479 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: eat well, do you mind if we go here or 480 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: we don't have that? Or would you mind if we 481 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: went for a walk rather than had a coffee and cake? 482 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: And very rarely do you have this scenario where people 483 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: will you go against what you've asked of them. But 484 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: we're very reluctant to ask the question, and we're very honest. 485 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: We're very reluctant sometimes to be honest about what we're 486 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: working on. And I guess sometimes with women ittes because 487 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 1: we're sensitive about weight. So to sort of avoid that. 488 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: A question that I'll ask my clients is who are 489 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: your actual support team? Who are the people who absolutely 490 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: want the best for you and will go out of 491 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: their way to help you achieve your goals. Who is 492 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: the friend who loves to exercise and will exercise with 493 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: you as much as you want. Who is the person 494 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: in your family, your child or your husband, or your 495 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: partner or a family member who will absolutely help you 496 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: in cooking healthy meals or making sure you've got healthy 497 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: food available. Or if you said to your mother in law, look, 498 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: I'm really on this program at the moment, do you 499 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: mind if I don't have that dessert? Or do you 500 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: mind if I bring a salad, and in most cases 501 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: people are very happy to help. But you have to 502 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: be clear and ask and confident that your goals are 503 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: important and be prepared to have that discussion and it 504 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: will make a big difference. And yes, there are silence saboteurs. 505 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: That's a whole nother episode, but I'm talking about I 506 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: want you to really think in your networks right now, 507 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: who are the people that will help you in achieving 508 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: your goals and not derail you and be happy to 509 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: support you, keep them close and move the same in 510 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 1: a work environment, who is that one person who does 511 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: like to take a lunch break or have a walk 512 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: at lunch time, or do all of those things that 513 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: will be conducive to the goals you also have and 514 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 1: stick with those people. That's ultimately what will predict our 515 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: success is creating environments and systems that are conducive to 516 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: health and weight control. So if you're finding that to 517 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: be a barrier, whether it's at home, whether it's in 518 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: your workplace, you know it's looking for ways to recruit 519 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: more of that support and seek out the energy that 520 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: will move you in the right direction rather than being 521 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: a victim to what's happening in your own home and 522 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: your own work environment that's stopping you from getting to 523 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: where you want to go. 524 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 2: What I'm saying we all need some accountability bodies in 525 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 2: our lives, SUSI, you and I included. 526 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: We do, and you know, you know we do. You 527 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: know we often support each other in ways of our 528 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: businesses and our work because we're very similar in what 529 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: we're doing in our jobs. And we've identified that when 530 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: your outliers in example, our career, we don't always get 531 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: that support. So you and I in this example absolutely 532 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: have reached out and been quite a support for each 533 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: other working live is And that's a classic example of 534 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: whatever the goals are in this case what we're talking about, 535 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: lifestyle choice, exercise outcomes, making strong dietary choices, you've got 536 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: to recruit those support people and use them to get 537 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: to where you want to go. 538 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 2: And if you're you know, one of the if you're 539 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 2: listening and you think, you know what I actually don't 540 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 2: have anyone who is supportive of that. Well, you need 541 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 2: to invest in yourself and perhaps hire a coach, or 542 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 2: hire an accountability buddy or someone who will just keep 543 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 2: you accountable on a regular basis. Be your cheerleader, be 544 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 2: your support person, because I think, you know, a reality 545 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 2: is we have to recognize, Suzie, some people won't have 546 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 2: any support people. I mean, it's very sad, but it 547 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 2: might be a reality. So that's where you really need 548 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 2: to take, you know, a long hard logo, step back 549 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 2: and say, if this goal is really important to me, 550 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 2: perhaps it's time that I did hire someone to keep 551 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 2: me accountable and keep me on track, and someone to 552 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 2: be in my corner and be on my team. So 553 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 2: I think a little bit of food for thought for 554 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 2: our listeners. Susie And speaking of food, moving on to 555 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 2: the final segment of the show, which adding Matt Rice 556 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 2: And again it's taken us fifty plus podcast to talk 557 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 2: about rice, which is there's so many things to talk about. 558 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 2: Susie is incredible, But today we're going to talk about 559 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 2: the healthiest type of rice because I think a lot 560 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 2: of it's just go brown rice. That's healthy, Right, I'm 561 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 2: going to order brown rice, or they think that automatically 562 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 2: just eating brown rice makes it automatically healthy. Sure, it's 563 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 2: got a bit more fiber there, that's great, but it 564 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 2: doesn't automatically make you healthier. And there are so many 565 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: different types of rice on the market these days. So, Susie, 566 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 2: what type of rice do you love? Because I myself 567 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: I love the mixed grain ones. I always go for 568 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 2: the one with like bit a quinoa, black rice, red rice. 569 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 2: I go for like the variety if I had a preference. 570 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 2: If I don't, and I'm sort of just picking and 571 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 2: choosing between one or two, of course I'll go for 572 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 2: the brown rice, potentially the bas Marti if it's available. 573 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 2: I really do like a brown buzz Marti rice. But 574 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 2: what is your I guess go to in terms of 575 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 2: rice and what does the family like to eat. 576 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: I think we could have had a whole episode on rice. 577 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: I'm actually regretting putting it at the end to day 578 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: because there is so much to talk about. So I 579 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: have shifted a little bit in terms of my rice 580 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: recommendations because there's so many new varieties of rice, which 581 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: is what it's come to us to talk about it. 582 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: And earlier we've spoken about the issue with some of 583 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: the microwaveable rice is in earlier episodes of The Nutrition Couch. 584 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: We'll mention that in the second So in answer to 585 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: your question, my favorite rice and the one recommending most 586 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: of the moment is black rice one, because I think 587 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: it's beautiful and it cooks beautifully in terms of it 588 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: really makes recipes of gorgeous because it's this deep purple color, 589 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: because it's really quite high in antioxidants, and it's quite 590 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,959 Speaker 1: high in dietary fiber, and it's got some evidence around 591 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 1: the health and the health benefits associated with it. It's 592 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: higher in a number of nutrients, including protein and fiber. 593 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: And I love There's a couple of quick cook versions 594 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: of a black rice in supermarket, so that's been my 595 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: go to at the moment, But there's a number behave. 596 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: There's the red rice, there's wild rice, there's of course 597 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: our brown rice, and then it breaks down into the 598 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: low GI varieties, the basmati. So my general recommendation for 599 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: rice with clients is that I'm not a fan of 600 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: white rice in any form. It lacks, as we know, 601 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: the protein, the dietary fiber. It's a highly refined grain. 602 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: It's got to extremely high GI. Now wild basmati or 603 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: lower GI varieties of rice similar to white bread, maybe 604 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: slightly better. They lack the nutrient properties that a brown 605 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: rice at a minimum, or things like a red wild 606 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: rice or black rice do have, so I very rarely 607 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: will recommend, if ever, a white rice, and I am 608 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: just mindful of portions. You know, it is an energy 609 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: dense grain. You can easily overeat it because it mixes 610 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: so easily through stir fries or sushi, So I sort 611 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: of stick to fairly controlled portions half a cup and 612 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: use it as a mixed through as opposed to a 613 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: real base of food. But it definitely my preference is 614 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: for these new colored rice is just nutritionally. They're higher 615 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: on antioxidants, higher in protein, high and fib are much 616 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: better for us. And I think sometimes I said, when 617 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: we're doing food pictures, which we spend a lot of 618 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: time doing in particular, I love that black rice. I 619 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: think it's really beautiful. 620 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my new favorite as well. It's funny that 621 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 2: you brought that up, because I do love the black rice. 622 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 2: And I must admit I'm a fan of some of 623 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 2: the microwavable pouches because they are just you know, it's 624 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 2: so time efficient. It's so easy to grab a dinner tuna, 625 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 2: a salad pack, and just a rice pack that's already done, 626 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 2: dumped all together, and you've got a quick and easy 627 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 2: lunch in two minutes. But as we did discuss on 628 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 2: one of the it was very very early on. I 629 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 2: feel like it was one of our first few episodes. Susie, 630 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 2: it is important to take those rices out of the 631 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 2: pouches and out of the microwave of book cups because 632 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 2: there was a little bit of research that showed that 633 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 2: the you know, plastic participles could actually leap into the 634 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 2: food as well. So just put that sort of rice 635 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 2: or you know, the microwave woo cups into a microwave 636 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 2: proof bowl or something and heat it up that way. 637 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 2: Don't leave it in the pouches or leave it in 638 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: the cups. I think that was a really good tip. 639 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 2: And the other one I really like lately, Susie is 640 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 2: the one sort of like the super grain rice. So 641 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 2: it's like a little bit of brown rice, but then 642 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 2: you're getting a couple of other grains mixed in. Not 643 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 2: so much rice, but you're getting a bit of quinoi 644 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 2: or miller to or buckwheat or something like that. So 645 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 2: you're getting a wide variety of different types of fibers 646 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 2: and nutrients. So I guess from I guess a calorie perspective, 647 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 2: these rice is you know, you're not really saving many 648 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 2: calories from choosing one of the grainier rices, but you're 649 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 2: absolutely making better choices from a health perspective, a fiber perspective, 650 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 2: and nutrient based perspective as well. So as much variety 651 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 2: for me, especially with my background in terms of gut health, 652 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 2: is the best thing that you can be doing for 653 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 2: your health long term versus just having white rice or 654 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: just having brown rice. I think the mixture of the 655 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: grains within the rices is a really really lovely combination 656 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: for health and for gut health long term. 657 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: And our little tip I use as well with my 658 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: clients is when you have the serves of the cups, 659 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: just make it go a little bit further to dilute 660 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: that energy density of it. So if you're someone who's 661 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: watching a carbohydrate in taken a bit mindful that rice 662 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: does have a high carbohydrate load and generally relatively high 663 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: glycemic load. Two. If it's a cup, so for two, 664 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: just make it go for three. So just use it 665 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: as that mix through and that's a great way to 666 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: still enjoy it, get those nutritional benefits, but keep your 667 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: carbohydrated load under control. So that works really well too. 668 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 2: And I'll just say I know that my beautiful mum 669 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 2: listens to our podcast sometimes, Susie, and she makes I'm 670 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 2: actually going to take you, Susie when you come over, 671 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: take you to months and she'll make you some er, 672 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: some beautiful Malaysian food. You're gonna love it. And the 673 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 2: other night I went to her house and she did 674 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 2: pork mebor Sato saw she did a ton of greens, 675 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: so we had a half a plate of greens. 676 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: It was wonderful. 677 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 2: And she made her famous fried rice, which you're going 678 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 2: to absolutely love. And she actually used a couple of 679 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 2: the cups of the super grain and rice, so she 680 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 2: made it with the rice. It was like a brown 681 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 2: rice quinoa buckwet mix. And she was sort of saying, 682 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: how does this taste? And she's mum, super healthy and 683 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 2: she always loves, you know, using the best sort of 684 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 2: quality produce. So she made her famous fried rice on 685 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 2: it like a blend of super grain blend, and it 686 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 2: actually tasted really, really delicious. So there's a lot of 687 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 2: different easy swaps that you can do in some of 688 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 2: your family favorite recipes. And I feel like using one 689 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 2: of those or a couple of those super grain pouches 690 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 2: or cups is a really, really nice substitute for a 691 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 2: lot of a lot of recipes, particularly if you're making 692 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 2: something that's heavy rice based, like a fried rice. It 693 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 2: can really add a lot of variety and extra fiber 694 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 2: into you know, your kids died and your family's died, 695 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 2: which I think is really nice. 696 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: I was. I didn't want to be rude and say, so, 697 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: are we going to your mum's for dinner? And I 698 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: come up in a couple of weeks, but I'm really 699 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: hoping that we are one.
