Weightless medications, Should you 26 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: fust should you not? 27 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: Did your ketos? Should you not? You can get a 28 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 2: little bit boring. 29 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: So I found one that popped up on my newsfeed actually, 30 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: and it talked about this idea is dietary shaving the 31 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: best way to slash calories and lose weight, And I'd 32 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: never heard of that before as a term, and I 33 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: actually really liked it. So it was actually a sort 34 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: of new summary published from a medical or a nutrition conference, 35 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: the European Congress on Obesity. 36 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 2: Just this year. 37 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: So it was a headline given to a series of 38 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: studies that were presented that showed the impact of giving 39 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: users of online meal ordering, so say, equivalent to uber eats, 40 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: the actual nutrition information of their takeaway food. So it 41 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: was kind of a headline spin on a very specific 42 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: data set, but I thought it was really really interesting 43 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: because basically they found, across a number of different intervention 44 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: studies is that when people are ordering their fast food 45 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: meals when the nutrition information was presented, So for example, 46 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: the average calorie order from something equivalent to an uber 47 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: eats was about fourteen hundred calories per meal, which is 48 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: enormous and why we don't like people ordering the ordering 49 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: the average people were ordering was fourteen hundred calories, and 50 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: when they provided the users with the dietary information as 51 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: part of the app that people had a significant reduction 52 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: in the number of calories ordered. So this was conducted 53 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: over several studies, so it ranged from two to fifteen 54 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: percent compared to the control So it didn't smash them 55 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: down right down to a typical meal which would be 56 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: five or six hundred calories or even a bit lower 57 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: if you're a small female wanting to lose weight, but 58 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: it did slightly reduce it over time. And the research 59 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: has showed that if thou and thousands of people are 60 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: using apps, that is a serious reduction in the calorie 61 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: intake of populations. And I thought it was fascinating because 62 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: they referred to it as just dietary shaving. People weren't 63 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: forced to eat what where they would say is the 64 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: healthy option. They're still ordering fast food meals, but they 65 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: were just basically skimming some of the calories away. So, 66 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: for example, one of the things I noticed if you 67 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: ever go into those apps, and to be honestly, and 68 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: it actually turns me off ordering in general. And certainly 69 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: when we've recently published our Takeaway Guide, we have found 70 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: how enormous, you know, the calorie intake of fast food 71 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: meals are even the healthier option come in at eight 72 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: to one thousand calories, which is sort of more than 73 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: half often your daily recommended intake. But certainly, you know, 74 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: just going through myself, if I'm looking and you start 75 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: to think about add ons, you know, popcorn chicken and 76 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: garlic bread, like it literally adds thousands and thousands. 77 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: Of extra calories. 78 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: And if you just went and had a couple of 79 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: slices of pizza and a salad, it would be okay. 80 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: But people eat the whole pizza or half of it, 81 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: plus the garlic bread, past the popcorn chicken that comes 82 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: with it, and then they have a dessert, and all 83 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden they've got, you know, a two thousand 84 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: plus calorie meal. And that's why the issue with fast 85 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: food meals, it is so easy to eat a high 86 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: amount of calories and a small volume of food. 87 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: So I just liked it as. 88 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: An idea of shaving calories in general. So there's kind 89 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: of two things I want to discuss. One is the 90 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: huge calorie load in fast food meals, and hence, if 91 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: you start to look and actually see what's in the 92 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: calories that you order, you're likely just to reduce it 93 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: just based on knowing that information. So I think it 94 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: is worth always having a quick scat about what is 95 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: in some of the foods you buy, particularly if you're 96 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: someone who regularly orders in, whether it's Thai food or 97 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: pizza or burgers or fried chicken, just because reminding yourself 98 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: actually how much is in there is huge And the average, 99 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: as I said, meal calorie load was about a thousand. 100 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: Which is huge, you know for women in particular. 101 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: But I love the ideally and there's a more general 102 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: conversation about how do you shave calories each day because 103 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: to me, that is probably what we do with weight 104 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: loss coaching and women. We're trying to get people to 105 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: eat still large volumes, but just reduce calories because it's 106 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: those daily food decisions or for users of say meal 107 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: lapse and ordering in that add up over time. 108 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: It's not the one offs, it's that daily decision. 109 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: So for example, you know, simply doing things like measuring 110 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: your breakfast cereal in the morning can be the difference 111 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: between having half a cup and a third of a cup, 112 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: which you may only need a third of a cup, 113 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: or ordering, as I've got with my coffee fans, order 114 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: a three quarter late, not a full one, particularly if 115 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: you're having it more out of the caffeine hit than 116 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: needing the fuel. Or buy small slices of bread compared 117 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: to the jumbo max slices that were often served when 118 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: we're out. You know, a sour dough is generally two 119 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: slices of bread. So on a daily basis, you can 120 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: very easily in many cases skim down two, three, four, 121 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: even five hundred calories just by making some of those 122 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: shaves off portion sizes, lighter varieties, measuring things, and then 123 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: substituting in extra veggies. And that's why initially often we'll 124 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: encourage clients to perhaps way amounts of meat chicken fish, 125 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: because they might be having twos times the amount they 126 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: even realized and eating on autoque, rather than actually saying 127 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: I hardly need that much. So I loved it as 128 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: an idea of shaving down, but yes, in discussion, it 129 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: was actually specifically looking at the effect of shaving down 130 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: calories and people were ordering fast food meals. 131 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: I'm still shocked that the average uber It's order is 132 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 3: fourteen hundred cavalries. 133 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: Are you? But I'm like, there's three thousand calorie meals 134 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: some of them's like like a three piece feed and 135 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: stuff that's up there around it's over one thousands. 136 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 3: I think people do go all in as well as 137 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 3: they're like, I'm going to do it. I'm going all 138 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: and I've got the entrees, the main the desserts. We've 139 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: always talked about trying to lean it out so you're 140 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: just getting a main meal as well. So there's some 141 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 3: great tips in our online takeaway guide as well. If 142 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 3: you guys haven't seen that, so that the nutritioncouch dot com. 143 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 3: It's wonderful. It is Australian based actually take away only, 144 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 3: so I will say that. But I did like this 145 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 3: article and essentially they were saying that you know a 146 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: lot of people with their goal of fat loss, by 147 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: shaving about three hundred calories a day, you'll lose about 148 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: a pound every eleven to twelve days, which is about 149 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 3: half a kilo. And if you up that to about 150 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: five hundred calories a day, you end up dropping about 151 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 3: half for killer a week, which we know is dieticians 152 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: and based on the science that's regularly what you know. 153 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 3: We tell our client about five hundred calories a week, 154 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 3: but then that takes you more all down that calorie 155 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 3: counting route and that sort of thing. So I really 156 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 3: liked the idea of shaving calories because, as she said, 157 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 3: it's just small swaps to a meal. And I was 158 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: talking to a client and she sent me a hallow 159 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 3: Fresh recipe and I said, oh, this is a doozy. 160 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 3: It's like eleven hundred calories to serve. And it was 161 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 3: some sort of risotto. I didn't have much veggies in there. 162 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 3: I think it had pumpkin and maybe green peas or something, 163 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: and that was it. And then it had chicken and treats. 164 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 3: So and I said, if we just took out the treats, 165 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: so that's a high fat meat. And we're about to 166 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 3: talk about high fat meats in a second, and I said, 167 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 3: if we just left it and we swapped the chicken 168 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 3: thigh for chicken breast, it's a much better option. And 169 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: she actually wasn't even getting hallow Fresh anymore. She just 170 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 3: kept a few of the recipes that our family really liked, 171 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 3: so she was actually going to shop for the ingredients. 172 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: And I said, that's a really easy calorie save if 173 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 3: we just take out one of the meats in it 174 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 3: and swapped the breast for a little bit of chicken 175 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 3: thigh and added a little bit more veggies in, so 176 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: instead of getting four portions out of it, she could 177 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 3: get five portions out of it. So to me, that's 178 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 3: sort of what we do on a regular basis, isn't it. 179 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 3: We just try to shave off a couple of calories 180 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 3: here and there from our client's meals, and it helps 181 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 3: promote easy, sustainable fight loss. So we're not saying don't 182 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 3: have a pizza, but maybe have a slice or two 183 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 3: less and have it with a salad. We're not saying 184 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 3: don't have the dessert, but maybe share it with someone, 185 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: so you're only having half the calories of the dessert 186 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 3: instead of having the whole thing yourself. So I think 187 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 3: it's a great concept. But it's a cool little name 188 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 3: and a cool little concept. I think when you think 189 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 3: about it, just kind of shaving little bits off here 190 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 3: and there to elicit a calorie deficit rather than saying 191 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 3: I can't have this at all or completely swap this 192 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 3: for something else, because that a lot of people do 193 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 3: feel like they're in that diet mentality and they feel 194 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 3: like they're missing out, and that then causes them to 195 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 3: potentially binge or over it later on. So I really 196 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 3: like the concept. I think it would work well for 197 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 3: a lot of people. 198 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it. 199 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: To a few of the others that spring to mind, 200 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: I'd love to use grated cheese rather than sliced cheese. 201 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: Whenever you use slice, you just use so much more 202 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: than you realize. So you can use graded and add 203 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: a little bit to a sandwich or a bit to 204 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: a salad, you get all the flavor, whereas as soon 205 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: as you're adding chunks or big slices, you use a 206 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: whole lot more. And the same with things like your 207 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: marinated feathers. Just for flavor, you can use a qube 208 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: or two and get great taste on foods rather than 209 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: using sort of big blocks and then crumbling it. I 210 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: think shaving things is a really good reference as well. 211 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: Definitely weighing and measuring meats. It's really easy to over 212 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: consume those volumes. Even really healthy meat foods like salmon, 213 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: which we'll talk about in a second. You know it 214 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: is still high calorie, so it's very easy to shave 215 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: that right back. Spreads, you know, people will be using 216 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: a tablespoon of spreads, So things like peanut butter, so 217 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: using a teaspoon or two and really measuring it again, 218 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: you tend to get all the flavor as well. I'm 219 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: a big fan of watching the size of breads. I 220 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: find that they are really easy lay it up. So 221 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: there's plenty of examples each day where you can go 222 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: through and just cut a little bit from each meal 223 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: and that adds up and then you're not feeling deprivate 224 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: or restricted. Because we'll talk about this in an upcoming 225 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: case study. No matter how many times we'll say to 226 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: clients this is not a diet, people because of years 227 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: of programming will think it is a diet'll as soon 228 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: as they feel restricted, they're more likely to end up 229 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: binging or feeling they've been deprived. And so this way 230 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: you can include most foods. It's just really being mindful 231 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: of the portion so you get the flavor and the 232 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: enjoyment without eating on autoque when it comes to. 233 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 3: Volume, definitely, And I guess that leads us really nicely 234 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 3: into our next section. SUSI, we're is talking about fats now. 235 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 3: I think we have talked about this on a very 236 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 3: earlier potty, but I think it's really a relevant discussion 237 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 3: to bring back. And like I said, with the example 238 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 3: of having like turrizzio and is sayozo whatever. I don't eat. 239 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 2: Sausages even, you know. 240 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: Into meals as well with chickens, chicken and baking together, 241 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: or like you know, lamb and beef together in a 242 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 3: pie or something like that. So when we're doubling down 243 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,119 Speaker 3: on proteins, often we can double down on the calories. 244 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 3: And as a rule of thumb, I generally say to clients, like, 245 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 3: the whiter than meat, the typically the lina it is. 246 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 3: So you know, your white fish, your chicken, your turkey 247 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 3: a lot leaner than say your lamb and your duck. 248 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 3: So typically your higher fat meat with I say to clients, 249 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 3: have a like a treeste. Like if you're eating out 250 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 3: at a really fancy restaurant and you want to get 251 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 3: some ducky, you want to get some lamb or something 252 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 3: like that, have that, or you want to go out 253 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 3: for more of a decade in pizza. You can have 254 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 3: a little bit of salami or something on that, but 255 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: it's not something we really want to use regularly at 256 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 3: home when the goal is fat loss, because these types 257 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 3: of proteins are so much higher. I generally say to 258 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 3: clients there are protein and a fat. So if you're 259 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 3: using something like salami or sausages, or even salmon, even 260 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 3: though salmon's a wonderful good type of fat we really want, 261 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 3: it's really energy dense, whereas the other types of fats 262 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 3: in like salami and sausages and those deli type meats, 263 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 3: they're not necessarily the healthy types of fat like salmon. 264 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 3: It's so there's a difference between the fats, but at the 265 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 3: end of the day, they're all high fat and they're 266 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 3: all high calories. So if the goal is weight loss, 267 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 3: even if it's a healthy fat, it still makes a 268 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 3: difference to the amount of calorie load at the end 269 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 3: of the day, so you still need to be conscious 270 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 3: of that. And when proteins are a little bit higher fat, 271 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: you need to either have a little bit less or 272 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 3: you need to counteract the rest of the meal. So 273 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: if you're having something like salmon and a meal, I 274 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 3: wouldn't be putting pesto and nuts and that sort of thing, 275 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 3: you know, on top of it and into your salads 276 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 3: and having you know, salmon coated with pesto and a nut, 277 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 3: you know, herb crumble something with the big side, salad 278 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: with some evocata or cheese because it ends up being 279 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 3: quite a high fat meal, which can again blow out 280 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 3: the calories and make fat loss really difficult. Or if 281 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 3: you were having like a you know, a curry that 282 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 3: has had a heap of you know, oil or gee 283 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 3: or something as its base, plus a bit of coconut 284 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 3: creem in it as well, and then you were having 285 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: that curry with lamb or duck, just the high fat 286 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 3: you know, content of that meal can again make it 287 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 3: really really difficult to lose weight. So I say to clients, 288 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 3: if you're going to go out and have a higher 289 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 3: fat meal like a curry, make sure you get a 290 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 3: leaner protein like some chicken breast or some shrimp or 291 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 3: some prawn, because you just don't really have the budget 292 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 3: left to have these high fat heavy meats like duck 293 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 3: and lamb within those curries as well. So it's a 294 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 3: good discussion. I think a lot of things. Times people 295 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 3: just forget that even though something might be healthy, if 296 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: we're doubling down on ingredients like two types of proteins 297 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 3: or two types of extra fats in the meal, like 298 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 3: the base of the curry is gee and then it's 299 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 3: coconut cream as well, and then you're adding in some 300 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 3: like you know, fried nine bread with that, and then 301 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 3: the curry is based on lamb or duck is a 302 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: very high fat meal as well. And I work with 303 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 3: a lot of ladies who have a lot of digestive complaints. 304 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: And I know a fact myself included, high fat tends 305 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 3: to play a little bit of havoc with your bows 306 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 3: as well. So the higher the fat load of a 307 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 3: meal you've got a sensitive tummy, often the worst you've got. 308 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 3: Hell symptoms can be over time as well, or the. 309 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: Gall bladder or my gall bladder clients will notice they'll 310 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: have a more likely to have a floyer up, which 311 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: is very painful, so you certainly want to keep clear 312 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: of it. 313 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: I have two groups with when it comes to fat. 314 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: I have say my twenty percent restrictive eaters who don't 315 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: get anywhere near enough. So this is my egg white 316 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: omelet group who get rid of the yo This is 317 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: my alm and milk group who don't have any fat 318 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: from dairy. This is my group who are very reluctant 319 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: to add oil to anything, so they're having bussomic vinegar 320 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: is addressing and they literally have two little fats, so 321 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: their fats around thirty maybe forty grams max per day. 322 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: It's not got any of the right balance of good 323 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: fats to bad fat. So the rest of my clients 324 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: are in the green you're describing, which is seventy eighty 325 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: percent who are having way too much extras. So they're 326 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: having the peanut butter, then they're having also the avocado 327 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: and the feta as well because they just throw that 328 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: in for good measure, and then they have salmon, and 329 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 1: then they plus have olive oil or avocado and the salad. 330 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: Then they have chicken thigh, and then on top of 331 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: that they might have eggs and bacon when they're eating. 332 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: So there's just all this layering effect. And when I 333 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: give feedback on the diary, I'm like, but there's chicken thigh, 334 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: and then you've had some chips, and then you've also 335 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: had a treat for like, it's just too much. 336 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 2: So how much is too much? 337 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: We model dietary fat intake based on total calorie intake, 338 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: so generally speaking, it's between twenty to thirty percent of 339 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: overall calorie intake. Twenty percent is quite low fat. The 340 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: Pretticen type diet of the nineteen eighties, whereas thirty is 341 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: more of a Mediterranean even up to forty percent. And 342 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: the way we balance the fat sound is generally speaking, 343 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: if you have a little bit more fat and a 344 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: bit more protein, you drop the carb down, and that's 345 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: a fairly nice model for weight control. So in amount, 346 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: it's very roughly for women forty to eighty grams of fat, 347 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: So obviously forty would be a smaller less active female. 348 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: For someone who is a teenager or very active female, 349 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: it maybe as high as eighty grams per day, and 350 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: then for men a bit higher, so maybe sixty even 351 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: up to one hundred if they're very large frames, so 352 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: big athletes who are biding a lot of calories, and 353 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: actually they'll have more fat just because they're eating a 354 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: greater volume of food. Now that sounds massively Anne, you 355 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: know you'd be like, I don't need eighty grams are fat, 356 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: But it's so easy to get, you know, like a 357 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: tablespoon of peanut butter's got like eight to twelve grams. 358 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: A quarter of an avocado, which is tiny, has got 359 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: eight grams a tablespoon of extravergin olive oil. So that 360 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: means that per meal if you add one added fat, 361 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: so that would include things like oily fish like salmon 362 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: or avocado, or olive oil or feta. 363 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 2: You're getting all you need. 364 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: So for people who include some dairy in their diet 365 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: or have eggs for breakfast, you've got some fat there. 366 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: You have a dressing on your salad at lunchtime or 367 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: choose av you've got your fat there. You have nuts 368 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: once a day, you've got your fat there. And then 369 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: you have your salmon for dinner. You've got your fat there. 370 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: So that is about sixty grams. You don't need to 371 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: proactively add extra. And the issue with this is as 372 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: soon as you have a high fat treat or eat 373 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: the uber eats we've just been speaking about, or you 374 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: go to tie, you get way more than that. You know, 375 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: a standard time meal it'd have twenty to thirty grams 376 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: of fat. A standard takeaway meal would have at least 377 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: thirty forty grams of fat. So you're getting more enough 378 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: than adding those foods in let alone without the treats 379 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: and the extras. And that's why it becomes too much. 380 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: And that's why people like Land and I are so 381 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: strict on things like meats and dairy, because if you 382 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: keep the meats really lean and choose tenderloins or chicken 383 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: breast rather than drumsticks and thighs. You just get rid 384 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: of some extra so that you clear out calories that 385 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: when you do have an indulgent meal or you want 386 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: to have a creamy pasta once a month, you've got 387 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: that to play with. So just counting one higher fat 388 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: ingredient per meal and then you will very easy keep 389 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: on track. Or you want sort of less than ten 390 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: percent fat if you're looking at a food, which is 391 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: why we don't like Halluomi, isn't it land because it's 392 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: thirty percent fat and people eat one hundred grabs. 393 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 3: Well you don't like hallumi, but I do. 394 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: I love it. 395 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: But so it just packs so much fat it's hard 396 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: to keep. 397 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 2: The portion down. 398 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: You know, you go to a cafe, they don't give 399 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: you a twenty gram serve, it's like one hundred grams, 400 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 1: and then that's like your total. 401 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: Daily fat for the day. 402 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: So there's just some really high levels. I see it 403 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: all the time with clients who do two eggs for 404 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: breakfast and bacon. It's like, okay, one egg and bacon 405 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: or HALLOOMI. 406 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 3: Cho vegetarian, big breakfast. 407 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent avo homus, which you know, we 408 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: just don't have a table swim, we have the whole tub, 409 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: so that's sort of where it can very easily go in. 410 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: So if you're a fat phobic, maybe you're too low, 411 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: it's worth having a little check and adding some into 412 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: each meal because you won't lose weight if your fat's 413 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: too low, which sounds ridiculous, but you won't. 414 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 2: It's about the balance. 415 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: And then most people just tends to creep high, particularly 416 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: towards those weekend days. 417 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and for the I have a bunch of ladies 418 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 3: as well. If I start working with them, they're fat's 419 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 3: too low, and again you really notice it from a 420 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 3: hormone perspective. So I would say most people, but women 421 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 3: especially need about a grammar fat per kilo grammar body weight. 422 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 3: So if you're I don't know, seventy five kilo woman, 423 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 3: you probably need about seventy five grams of fat at 424 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 3: a minimum. Now, as you said, SUSI, people are in 425 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 3: two camps. Mostly they're far too much or they're far 426 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 3: too little. So it can be an idea to just 427 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 3: plug a rough day's intake into something like my fitness 428 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 3: Pal and really have a look. But I really do 429 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 3: feel like for my ladies for good hormone or control, 430 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 3: but cellular processes, hair, skin nails, that sort of thing. 431 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 3: You'll notice your hair is not optimal, your skin's drying out, 432 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 3: your nails are really brittle. If you don't have enough 433 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 3: fat in your diet, you definitely absolutely suffer from a 434 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 3: hormone perspective, but also like hair, skin nails, that sort 435 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 3: of thing. So I generally try to give my ladies 436 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 3: about a grammar fat perkilo or body weight. 437 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 2: That's a good tip. 438 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: And if the side of your husband makes you want 439 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: to your skin crawl, you might also have low hormones 440 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: because your fat it takes too low. So don't tell 441 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: him that because he'll be feed your avocado, But certainly 442 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: it impacts these sex hormones, so keep that in mind 443 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: if you tend to be more restrictive with your diet. 444 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: All right, Well, moving on the end to a very 445 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: interesting question that has popped up because we've heard a 446 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: lot in recent weeks about the weightless drug ozen Peak 447 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: and Wegovy, which are now pretty freely available in Australia, 448 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: and I think we will certainly take another look at 449 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: ozen Peak in the next couple of weeks because more 450 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,959 Speaker 1: and more of my clients are using it and I 451 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: really want to talk about how you use it the 452 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: right way and what the risks are and what their 453 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: ideal use is. But linked to that, there was an 454 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: article published online that said, is this Nature's ozen peak? 455 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: And it's referring to the supplement berberine, And so we 456 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: had a listener question on the Nutrition Couch podcast Instagram page. 457 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: Is berberine worth a try? Is it the same as 458 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: ocean peak? So, first of all, what I will say 459 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: is ozen peak is a certain type of drug that 460 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: the semiglue tides which act on the pancreas to help 461 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: produce more insulin and also help with appetite control in 462 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: the gut. 463 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: Berberine is certainly not that. 464 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: So ozen peak is a semi glue tide and that 465 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: range of drugs, including with gov this is not what 466 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: berberine is. But berberine is an interesting one because it's 467 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: been around for quite a long time. So the fact 468 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: it's doing a bit of a resurgence, it's not new 469 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: like I want to think ten fifteen years ago we 470 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: had these discussions with endocrinologists about Burberine and the use 471 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: for weight control. It is a herbal it comes from plants. 472 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: It's a chemical that's found in plants and when concentrated, 473 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: there's evidence, a growing pool of evidence to show it 474 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: does have benefits for weight control. They're not quite sure 475 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: why it looks appears to reduce inflammation in the body. 476 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: It certainly has an impact on ld OR cholesterol levels, 477 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: inflammatory pathways, and some arguments around blood glucose control. 478 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: So what I will say. 479 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: About it is I think it's worth a try. There's 480 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: no evidence against it. It's not going to hurt you 481 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: as long as you stick to the recommended dose. 482 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 2: It's worth a try. 483 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: It's not going to see you lose twenty kilos, but 484 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: from a cellular perspective, there is some evidence to show 485 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: it's beneficial, particularly for those with resistance and blood gluecose issues. 486 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: It's not easy to get. 487 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: It retails for about seventy to one hundred dollars and 488 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: usually they come in from overseas. So I would suggest 489 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,239 Speaker 1: if you are going to try it, making sure you're 490 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 1: sticking to a reasonably well known international brand, and you 491 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: certainly want to check the dose which recommendations are about 492 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: for one thousand to fifteen hundred milligrams serve per day. 493 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: Have I used it a lot with clients, Not really, 494 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: because I tend to get pretty good results diet wise anyway, 495 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: and if my clients are that insulin resistant, I'll have 496 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: them on met Forman or ozen Peak. But I think 497 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: if you've got cash and you want to try something herbal, 498 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: I have no reason to not other than it is. 499 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: It isn't inexpensive. We don't know exactly how it works, 500 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: but there seems to be some metabolic benefit from taking it, 501 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: so I sort of think, well, yeah, but it's certainly 502 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: not like ozen Peak. It's completely different, and so it's 503 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: so chemical implants that appears to have some anti inflammatory 504 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: benefits if you take it. But most people I see 505 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: who buy these supplements they take them for a week 506 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: or two and they're not consistent. 507 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 2: So it's really hard to also track if it is beneficial. 508 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: But it certainly won't hurt, and I don't have an 509 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: issue with it, and with my insturin resistant goals who 510 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: are younger, I think it's worth a try. 511 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, it's a really interesting one, isn't it. And 512 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 3: I do like that. It is, you know, a plant 513 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 3: based it's a lot more natural. It's available as well. 514 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 3: You don't have to, you know, go get a scripted. 515 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 3: It is fairly expensive, like you did say, And I 516 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 3: was just doing a little bit of research before, and 517 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 3: it does seem to work on some sort of level, 518 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 3: like of the hormone in your brain that tends to 519 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 3: detect the feeling of fullness that people have, So it 520 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 3: seems to make people feel a little bit more full 521 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 3: and satisfied after dinner. That's sort of all after meals. 522 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 3: That's sort of how the I guess the clinical effects 523 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 3: seems to work. But like you said, they just don't 524 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 3: quite know, Like I think, it does need a lot 525 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 3: more studies. Put it that way. But it was really 526 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 3: interesting because there was actually a scientific meta analysis published 527 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 3: in Clinical Nutrition of this plant based what we can 528 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 3: call it supplement, and it basically concluded that it was 529 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 3: a small study, but it did say it led to 530 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 3: small to modest weight loss in people who were obese. 531 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 3: But when you really look at the number, Susie, it 532 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 3: was three kilos. So is it worth a try? Yeah, potentially, 533 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 3: but it's not going to be dropping you know, ten 534 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 3: twenty thirty kilos. If your goal is to lose, you know, 535 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 3: anything more than about five you're probably not going to 536 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 3: get that great effects from it. I mean of the 537 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 3: average weight loss in this you know meta and the 538 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 3: three kilos from the obese population, it's not a lot 539 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 3: on the grand scheme of things like It's definitely not 540 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 3: the five percent we would call clinical significance in a 541 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 3: weight loss study. Put it that way, So, as you said, 542 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to harm you. It's well 543 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 3: worth a try, but it's not just going to be 544 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 3: a magic pill. You can't just take that and continue 545 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 3: with your crappy diet and not exercising. You've absolutely got 546 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: to do everything. You've got to start moving your body more. 547 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 3: You're going to make some great nutrition choices, and you 548 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 3: can add this in as a little bit of an 549 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 3: extra boost because it's certainly not going to do much 550 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 3: just alone. And there are a couple of side effects 551 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 3: I just wanted to reference as well. People are reporting 552 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 3: things like either diarrhea or constipation, sometimes a little bit 553 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 3: more gas, and other types of stomach issues as well, 554 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 3: So you really need to be sure you're taking the 555 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 3: recommended amount on the label, you're either working in combination 556 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 3: with your doctor or your dietitian or your nutritionist or 557 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 3: your health professional, because there was a little disclaim in 558 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 3: the study that large quantities can actually prove fatal. So, 559 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 3: just like anything, because it is plant based does not 560 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 3: mean that it is completely safe. You need to be 561 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 3: very careful if you're taking huge dose of this. Absolutely 562 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 3: not for children or teens, absolutely not, And definitely I 563 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 3: wouldn't touch it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or 564 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 3: anything like that, or if you're immunocompromise. I would just 565 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 3: say this is for healthy adults who have struggled as 566 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 3: weight loss in combination with a healthy diet and lifestyle 567 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 3: and the recommended doses on the label, because I think 568 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 3: how we can round out the potty today, Susie, nice 569 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 3: little disclaimer. 570 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 2: Very good. I like it all right. 571 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: Well, that brings us to the end of the Nutrition 572 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: Couch podcast for another Sunday.
