1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Do you find yourself often craving sweet foods or maybe 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: you enjoy a sweet treat after dinner. Today on the 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: Nutrition Couch, we have some new research to show that 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: adding some sweetness to your diet is not necessarily a 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: bad thing and the best foods to reach for when 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: you do have some sweet cravings. 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Leanne Ward and I'm Sissy Burrow, and together. 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: We bring you the Nutrition Couch, the weekly podcast that 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: keeps you up to date on everything that you need 10 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: to know in the world of nutrition. As well as 11 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: sweet cravings, we also chat about whether steak and avocado 12 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: is a good choice for breakfast. We have a quick 13 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: and easy chicken option from Wilworth and our listener question 14 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: is all about men versus women when it comes to 15 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: weight loss. But to kick us up today, we're talking 16 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: all things breakfast steak. Because if you're on TikTok and 17 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: Sissy and I like to have a little scroll through 18 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: TikTok every now and then, you will probably see quite 19 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: a lot of influences and even some of those people 20 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: in that health space eating a lot of steak, eggs 21 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: and avocado for breakfast. And you may have thought to 22 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: yourself what the heck is going on? Because it's certainly 23 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: an interesting world out there, isn't it. SUSI the whole 24 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: influencer social media space, and we just seem to be 25 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: drawn to people who look good and who are fit 26 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: and healthy, and we think, why are they eating that? 27 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: Is there something to it? 28 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: And I remember seeing the steak and egg trend many 29 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: many months ago when it really seems to have taken 30 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: off lately, and it's almost become a little bit like 31 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: kind of the next diet or the next fad when. 32 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: It comes to nutrition. 33 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: So many people are sitting down and having steak, eggs, 34 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: and avocado for breakfast, and it's kind of like we've 35 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: been through the whole low carb area. We've come out 36 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: the other side. We understand calves are important. And then 37 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: when I'm seeing all of these people eating steak at 38 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: like seven am for breakfast, I'm kind of thinking to myself, Oh, 39 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: I definitely couldn't stomach that at breakfast. But like, where 40 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: does this come from? Like what is with people eating 41 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: steak and eggs? And again, a lot of the messaging 42 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: out there is, oh, it keeps your blood sugar levels 43 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: more controlled, it's high protein and I'm arguing with that, 44 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: but there are certainly other ways to get in a 45 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: balanced amount of calves are higher protein diet, some healthy. 46 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: Vats in your diet. 47 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: If you don't actually want to sit down and have steak, 48 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: eggs and avocado for breakfast, because to me, it's less 49 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: than appealing at that time in the morning, but it's 50 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: also something that's pretty time intensive to actually cook like 51 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: that would take me a good, you know, at least 52 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: twenty minutes also to actually cook some steaks, some eggs 53 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: and put some avocado and stuff on a plate, Whereas 54 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: if you were to whip up a quick oatmeal or 55 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: make some overnight oats the night before, that would be 56 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: just like a grab and go breakfast in the morning. 57 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: And I know for a lot of my ladies, Susie, 58 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: it's actually eating a properly balanced. 59 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: Breakfast, which is the issue because there's. 60 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: So time poor, let alone sitting down and making a 61 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: hot cook breakfast most days. I just think for a 62 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: lot of people it's probably largely unachievable, let alone that 63 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: there are probably potentially for some people some health impacts 64 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 1: as well of going too low in terms of carbohydrate. 65 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: There's there is a little bit of fiber from the avocado, 66 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: but there's not a whole lot of whole grain. There's 67 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: in terms of balancing some good carbohydrate whole grain sources, 68 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: that breakfast is there. 69 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 3: Now, I think it goes back to the anti carb 70 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 3: movement of the nineties and millennial and certain it takes 71 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 3: me back to watching Anna Wintur or depictions of Anna 72 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 3: Wintur and the Devil Wears Prata, where they would serve 73 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: her up a juicy steak each day. Rumor has it 74 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: that she doesn't eat many carbohydrates except for her jumbo 75 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: cappuccinos and a big juicy steak in greens for lunch 76 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 3: that's delivered. And of course, one of those extreme right 77 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 3: wing male commentators, Jordan Peterson, has been a big supporter 78 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 3: of the carnivore type approach and eating huge amounts of meat. Now, 79 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 3: I think what we need to be clear on is, 80 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: first of all, if you did eat a lean steak 81 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 3: and green vegetables in the morning, you probably would be 82 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 3: pretty full and satisfied for a while. Absolutely, it will 83 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: keep blood glucose levels controlled. It's a really filling meal. 84 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: You know, it's a high protein meal, but there's also 85 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: a number of downsides. So the recommendations for red meat 86 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: intake is that ats less than three hundred and fifty 87 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 3: grams total to reduce the risk of developing a number 88 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 3: of lifestyle diseases, including digestive cancers. Three hundred and fifty 89 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: grams of meat is not a lot. You'd be looking 90 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: at a small hundred gram steak. Most people I know 91 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: eat a steak that's about three four hundred grams. 92 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: So that's a week though, wasn't it three fifty grams 93 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: a week? 94 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 4: A week? Yeah? A week? 95 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think most people would interpret that as a day, 96 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: but it's not as an entire week. Some people could 97 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: eat three hundred grams in a city. 98 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 3: Of all the lifestyle data related to disease risk go 99 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 3: b city lifespan. High meat diets are not on them, 100 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,119 Speaker 3: you know. Really it's more plant based diets with small 101 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 3: amounts of red meat can still be considered healthy, more 102 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 3: so pescatarian type diets with a lot more fish. And 103 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 3: certainly there's from a longevity perspective, evidence to show people 104 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 3: who will live longer on a plant based diet, So 105 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 3: from that perspective, not great. Second, it will pay havoc 106 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 3: with your digestive system. Every single weekland I'm talking to 107 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: women about, you know, their tummy problems. They're constipated, they're 108 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 3: not going to the bathroom, they feel bloated. Now, a 109 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 3: heavy meat meal in the morning, when your body is 110 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 3: at its highest in terms of metabolic rate, is not 111 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 3: going to help you at all, will slow down your 112 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 3: digestion and if anything, make any digestive issues far worse. 113 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 3: And Third, there's a lot of nutritional benefits that come 114 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 3: from consuming control portions of good quality carbohydrates. It's linked 115 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: to better digestive function, higher intake of begroup vitamins, which 116 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: are crucial for cognitive function. Now, don't get me wrong, 117 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: I'm the first to say that most of us eat 118 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 3: too many refined carbohydrates, too many syps of sour dough, 119 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: too much heavy cereal and sugary yogurt, too many treats 120 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 3: and snack foods. But a good whole grain cereal in 121 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 3: the morning, or a controlled or a serve of a 122 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: really good quality bread is not your issue nutritionally long term, 123 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: having a massive fatty steak will be. So you know, 124 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: when it comes to dietis dieticians, it's our job to 125 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 3: guide people to make the right choice for them. And 126 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 3: if I had a client land who came to me 127 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 3: and said, look, I love to eat steak for breakfast, 128 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 3: how can I do it? And I say, oh, say sure, 129 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 3: We'll go for seventy one hundred grams lean cooked at 130 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: a slice of whole grain toast, or at least some 131 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 3: good quality vegetables like some sweet potato, hash or some 132 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 3: corn with it. I can make it a balance meal, 133 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: but be very clear that my recommendation is to not 134 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 3: have that amount of red meat in the diet. And 135 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 3: I don't have any women who come to me craving 136 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 3: steak for breakfast, So you know, it's one of those 137 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 3: things that if someone has a great passion for it, 138 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 3: I wouldn't necessarily change them. But it's more sporadic dietis 139 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 3: who come and say occasionally they want to have a 140 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 3: massive jumbo steak and hot cook up. 141 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 4: That's not what this is suggesting. 142 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: It's much more about routine eating and the benefits that 143 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 3: come from a high protein, savory breakfast, which we're going 144 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 3: to talk about savory foods versus sweet in a minute. 145 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 3: So I think you've got to take those headlines with 146 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: a grain of salt, because these are journalists looking for 147 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 3: something people will click on something different. But in terms 148 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: of practicality, I have trouble getting people to eat breakfast 149 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 3: most days of alone, cook up with steak and veggies. So, 150 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 3: you know, like anything, I think it's just the headline 151 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 3: rather than there being any real science in it. And yeah, 152 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: very few people I know crave a big steak first 153 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 3: thing in the morning, unless you've had a big night 154 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 3: on the turps. 155 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. And the other thing is you mentioned steak and 156 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: veggie is lean steak and veggies. This isn't what this 157 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: trend is really about, right, Like it's steak, it's exit, 158 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: it's avocado, typically avocada of fruit and a fat. We 159 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: don't really class that in the vegetable amount, So I 160 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: don't see people whipping on their plate, you know, multiple 161 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: extra serves of vegetables. I guess we wouldn't have too 162 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: much of a problem if they were. But that's the reality, 163 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: is that the breakfast is significantly lacking in fib But 164 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: sure there's a little bit in the avocado, but really, 165 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, overall, you're down on the whole grains and 166 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: the vegetables overall. So my preference would be if you 167 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: love steak, cut down on the amount and also, you know, 168 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: add in a slice of whole grain bread if you want, 169 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: or you know, just get rid of the steak altogether, 170 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: and one or two slices of that dense, good quality 171 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: graining bread plus a bit of avocado, plus actually some vegetables, 172 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: some rockets and baby spinach, some mushrooms, some tomatoes with 173 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: the eggs gives you a much more balanced breakfast as well, 174 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: and it's probably going to be that little bit faster 175 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: than waiting for that steak to cook as well. So, 176 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: like you, I'm not against it, but I do think 177 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: it can probably be modified to give us a little 178 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: bit more fiber and whole grains overall, which we know 179 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: are two really important nutrients for general health overall, especially 180 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,679 Speaker 1: from a digestive health persons, because the average austrail needs 181 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: Women are typically twenty five grams of five or a 182 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: day and men are thirty. But I will routinely give 183 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: my lateies thirty grams of fiber a day as well. 184 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: I really do feel like most of us aren't even 185 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: reaching that amount, so we need to just be aiming 186 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: that little bit high. Because so many clients that both 187 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: Susie and I see come in with digestive complaints as well, 188 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: and that meal is typically too low and fiber overall 189 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: to actually set you up with a good functioning, regular 190 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: digestive system throughout the day. And women in particular seem 191 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: to have a lot more digestive troubles or issues than 192 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: what men do as well, So maybe men can get 193 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: away with it a little bit more than what women can, 194 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: But I really do feel like it would just contribute 195 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: to a lot of the digestive issues that so many 196 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: women come to see dieticians for. 197 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 3: True, And let's be clearly, and it's really hard to 198 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 3: find very lean pieces of steak. Most steak that you buy, 199 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: and also budget wise, like steak is expensive, Like a 200 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 3: decent cut of lean steak will cost at least ten 201 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 3: dollars for probably about two hundred grams at least, but 202 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 3: that is probably conservative, Like I would say, it's probably 203 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 3: a lot more because really lean cuts of steak, like 204 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 3: a fill, it very very expensive, which is prohibitive for 205 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 3: many of us at the moment with the huge cost 206 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 3: of food. Most steak cuts are really fatty. You know, 207 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: you're looking at at least sort of fifteen twenty even 208 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 3: up to thirty percent fat too high and saturated fat. 209 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 4: They're not lean. 210 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 3: You really have to pay to get very lean steak 211 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 3: and also cook it in a way because lean steak 212 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: is not always as tasty as things like a wago 213 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 3: which has got the fat red pulled through it. So 214 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: also keep that in mind. From a budget perspective, it's 215 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 3: not the most user friendly morning food when you're trying 216 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: to cut that cost. You know, considering a ball of 217 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 3: oats cost about twenty cents compared to a steak, which 218 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 3: is going to cost at least five, if not closer 219 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 3: to ten dollars a serve. I think if you're watching 220 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 3: your pennies at the moment, it's not overly budget friendly, 221 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 3: all right. Well, another headline that I quickly clicked on 222 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 3: when it came up on my computerly and was the 223 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 3: super sweet food to compliment a weight loss diet. Now, 224 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 3: without a doubt, when I'm working with my women, they 225 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 3: are always keen to add in a sweet treat. If 226 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 3: they have to choose between potato or sweet potato, or 227 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 3: pasta at night, a glass of wine or dessert, I 228 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 3: have to say eight out of ten would go for dessert. 229 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 3: And I myself like to finish the day on something sweet, 230 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 3: and anecdotally, I would say the less sweet food that 231 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: you have through the day, the easier it will be 232 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 3: to control cravings. So when we were riding the lineup 233 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 3: for today, I had had on my listlie and for 234 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 3: quite some time I wanted to do a segment on 235 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 3: savory breakfasts because there's actually reasonable data to show that 236 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 3: having a savory breakfast is particularly beneficial for appetite and 237 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 3: blood glucose control. And that kind of fitted in a 238 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 3: little bit with a discussion on steak for breakfast, but 239 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 3: certainly as a strategy for my women who are struggling 240 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 3: to control their cravings and constantly craving sweet food through 241 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 3: the day, an active strategy I will have is to 242 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: keep as much savory food in the day as I can, 243 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 3: So I'll err towards eggs for breakfast, or cottage cheese 244 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 3: on toast or something like a baked beans, and with 245 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 3: the salad, I would try and have it with something 246 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 3: like say legumes through a salad and more savory dressings 247 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 3: rather than sweet. When it comes to snacks, I would 248 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: ear towards cheese and crackers or nuts rather than again 249 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 3: and sweet food and try and delay the intake of 250 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 3: sweet food because you may have noticed that if you 251 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 3: start the day sweet, you grab a corossant or pastry occasionally, 252 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 3: or even just have coffees, the more of it you want, 253 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 3: you don't feel satisfied, and that's linked to programming in 254 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 3: the brain, but also blood glucose control and quite possibly 255 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 3: protein content through the day. If you have savory food, 256 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: it generally tends to be a bit higher in protein, 257 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 3: and we've got evidence from the protein leverage hypothesis to 258 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 3: show that ticking your protein targets early in the day 259 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 3: will help to regulate appetite. So it's complicated as much 260 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 3: nutritional science is, but it's an interesting way. If you 261 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 3: can keep off the sweet food as much as possible, 262 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 3: you'll notice over time your cravings reduced. So this piece 263 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 3: opinion piece on including sweet food in the diet tick 264 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 3: of my fancy in the sense I was thinking, Oh, 265 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 3: I do have that belief as well that if you 266 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 3: factor in a food or foods that clients particularly enjoy, 267 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 3: as you would described lean as soul foods, the diet 268 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 3: becomes much more easier to sustain. It's a sustainable model. 269 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: It's something you can do forever, it's not restrictive and 270 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 3: as such promote sustainability of time. So one of the 271 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 3: go tos I'll use to say, you know, after dinner, 272 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 3: you've had a good meal with two three cups of 273 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 3: veggies or salads, some good lean protein, some good fat 274 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: from a nice dressing in your salad or cooking and 275 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 3: roasting your veggies, and extra version olive oil, and you 276 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 3: sit down and that's the time. If you want to 277 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,599 Speaker 3: have something sweet, you know, we've got our rest and 278 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 3: Glow hot chocolate mixes which are locale. Some people might 279 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 3: earf for, you know, a limp ball or some dark chocolate. 280 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 3: I've got a lot of people who are fans of 281 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 3: the Twisted frozen Yogat. 282 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 4: It's a great Australian brand. You know, about one hundred 283 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 4: calories worth is what I encourage. 284 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 3: And actually we're going to talk about no shoe bars 285 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 3: in the future because I have a lot of clients 286 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 3: who like therese two notes to self will cover that 287 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 3: next episode. But this study or this opinion piece on 288 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: nutrition was arguing that one of the best foods you 289 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 3: can have when complementing a calorie deficit or weight loss 290 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 3: program is Greek yogurt because it is argued that Greek 291 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: yogurt is largely a whole natural food. It's got about 292 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 3: a full fat version of Greek yogurt like the dairy farmers. 293 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 3: It's got about ten scent fat, and it's got some 294 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 3: natural sweetness to it. And then, of course, and if 295 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 3: you team it with something like a lovely granola, some 296 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 3: fresh berries you could do, some cinnamons and vanilla, you 297 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 3: could chuck a few dark chop bits through it. You're 298 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 3: going to create a whole food that's delicious and satisfies 299 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 3: that sweet craving, but not just lollies or processed food 300 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 3: that you're sort of spiking your glucose levels with. And 301 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 3: I thought, you know what, it is a super food. 302 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 3: I use Greek yogurt all the time, full fat Greek 303 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 3: yogurt in baking, if I'm making banana bread, if I'm 304 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 3: making smoothies with our protein powder, if I'm using like 305 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 3: a sour cream alternative on a jacket potato or in 306 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 3: a creamy pasta, I use it all the time. And 307 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 3: I thought, yeah, I probably need to use it a 308 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 3: little bit more in my meal plans because everyone loves granola, 309 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 3: but if you start the day with a massive bowl 310 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 3: of granola, you'll be hungry all day. Whereas if you 311 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 3: use it as a topper with some beautiful berries, fresh food, 312 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 3: and a bit of Greek yogurt at night, that's a 313 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 3: very smart way to include some sweet food but also 314 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 3: a whole food that's offering a lot of other nutritional benefit. 315 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 3: So I thought, yeah, it's just a good reminder of 316 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 3: there's ways we can use foods like that which are 317 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 3: less processed and satisfying and still getting that sweet hit 318 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 3: that we're looking for. 319 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love Greek yoga and I've had a few 320 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: clients lately that have asked me to put cottage cheese 321 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: in their meal plans. 322 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: And take me back a. 323 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: Few years ago, before cottage cheese was super trendy, I 324 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: never ever had clients requesting cottage cheese in the meal plants, 325 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: and now I'm like, sure, like, how would you like it? 326 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: And for a lot of people, it's just about the texture. 327 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: The taste is pretty mellow, but it's kind of the texture. 328 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: It's a bit lumpy. People aren't a huge fan of it. 329 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: So I've had a few clients who will blend it 330 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: with a little bit of cinnamon and honey, and then 331 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: they'll add it to some fresh fruit and it gives 332 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: a really nice sort of sweet, higher protein based snack 333 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: as well. 334 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 2: So I'm a huge fan of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. 335 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: But going back to I guess what the segment was 336 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: about was really how adding sweet foods into your diet 337 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,479 Speaker 1: can be helpful. 338 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 2: For a weight loss perspective. And I completely agree because we. 339 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: Know, and there's research and science to show us that 340 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: when you have that real black or white thinking when 341 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: it comes to nutrition, where it's like I can't have 342 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: this food, this food's good, this fo it's bad, or 343 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: sugar's bad, I can't eat any of that because I'm 344 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: trying to lose weight. We know that it's not successful 345 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: long term because there's only so much restriction you can 346 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: give your body or tell your brain before it wants 347 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: to rebel, and then you find yourself, you know, eating 348 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: the entire block of chocolate or binging the whole type 349 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: of ice cream. So I think it's really important to 350 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: have that moderation approach when it comes to nutrition, and 351 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: it's easier said than done, but I really do feel 352 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: like it's important to include at least one sole food 353 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: every day, and most of my clients will be eating 354 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: something each day, whether they choose to have a glass 355 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: of wine, not that I would ever encourage that daily, 356 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: but maybe, you know, once or twice a week towards 357 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: a weekend. Maybe it's a small little bag of Red 358 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: Rock Deli chips that's one of my favorite soul foods. 359 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 2: Maybe it's a limp ball. 360 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a couple of my clients like those higher protein, 361 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: you know, dessert chocolate dessert kind of puddings that are 362 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: on the market lately. Others might, like you know, prefer 363 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: a biscuit or something in the afternoon with. 364 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: Their cup of tea. 365 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: So I really do feel like it's important to include 366 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: a small amount of those foods that you absolutely love, 367 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: but the bulk of the diet still needs to be 368 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: balanced out with the whole foods, because I feel like 369 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: the clients that restrict everything, they do really really well 370 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks, and then you basically just 371 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: fall off the wagon because you realize that it's unsustainable, 372 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: and every week or every day, the cravings go that 373 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: little bit up and that little bit up, and that 374 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: little bit up until basically you just lose all form 375 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: of self control and you end up overeating everything. You 376 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: feel like you fall off the wagon, and then you're 377 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: just off the whole weekend, and then you feel like 378 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: you have to restart over on Monday. So I'm a 379 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: huge believer in that balanced approach and enjoying something every 380 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: day but really being quite picky with what it is. 381 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: So we've talked about this in the podcast many times before. 382 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: If you're going out for a beautiful meal, what is 383 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: the one or two thing you really want? Do you 384 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: want the pasta or the pizza for dinner or would 385 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: you prefer the beautiful bread basket or would you like 386 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: a glass of wine or would you like to have 387 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: a bit of dessert or share it with a friend, 388 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: Because unfortunately, when the goal is weight lost, we don't 389 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: have room for everything. We can't have the bread basket, 390 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: the entree, the main the dessert, two three glasses of 391 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: wine as well, because it's just completely overdoing it. But 392 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: we get into that mindset where we feel like we 393 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: deserve it, or a cheap meal or whatever it might be. 394 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: So I always like to say to clients, what's the 395 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: one or two things you really really want and then 396 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: save the other thing for tomorrow. If you don't not 397 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: too fuss about the bread basket, have some bread the 398 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: next morning for breakfast, or if you don't really want 399 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: the wine, if you're a huge fan of dessert, bypass 400 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: the wine and share the dessert with a friend instead, 401 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: because that can be that really nourishing component to the 402 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: meal where it's not only feeling, but it's also satisfying. 403 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 2: So I think the bottom line here. 404 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: Is just to be really picky with what you want, 405 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: and that can change day to day. One day you 406 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: might feel like something sweet, you know, three days in 407 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: a row, you might feel like a little bit of 408 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: chocolate after dinner, and then another night you might want 409 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: to have a couple of cheese and crackers, or you 410 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: might want to have a small handful of nuts and 411 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: potato chips because you're feeling like something salty and crunchy. 412 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: So it's just really important to tune into your body 413 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: and check in with yourself and say, hey, what do. 414 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 2: I really feel like? 415 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: Whether it's after dinner or whether it's you know, for 416 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: a morning or an afternoon tea snack. There's no right 417 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: or wrong, but I think being really particular with the 418 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: thing that you feel like sitting down and enjoying it 419 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: really mindfully is key so that that doesn't lead to 420 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: that oger consumption over time. 421 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think it's about getting that balance right 422 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 3: in general. But just I know it can actually be confusing. 423 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 3: And I'm going to put up a reel on my 424 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 3: Instagram about what. 425 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 4: I love a dessert yogurt. I love that term. 426 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 3: I think one of the dietitians who works for you, Helena, 427 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 3: talked about dessert yogurt because some of them are so 428 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 3: creamy and indulgent it's not even yogurt. So the main 429 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 3: difference when we're talking about Greek yogurt is that's a 430 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 3: natural form which is still quite high and fat at 431 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 3: ten percent fat, and hence you get that creaminess that 432 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 3: is a little bit different to the ones we frequently recommend, 433 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 3: which are the yopro and Shabani or the high protein yogurts, 434 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 3: which have been further strained and made low fat. They've 435 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 3: taken the fat away and really concentrated the protein. 436 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 4: They're still very functional. 437 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 3: We use them all the time, particularly with breakfast meals 438 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 3: and as high protein snacks for women. But Greek yoga 439 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 3: is just slightly different. It's a less process form and 440 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 3: a bit lower in protein, a bit higher in fat, 441 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 3: but as such you still get the creaminess and the 442 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 3: richness of flavor which it's referring to in that study. 443 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: All right, And then our next segment. 444 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: I was browsing at will West as we do as dieticians, 445 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: and my kids wanted chicken nuggets. 446 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: Little Mimi requested nuggets for dinner. 447 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 3: You because last time you got the macas and you 448 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 3: were like, I can't do that again. 449 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 2: My kids have never had backers. 450 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: Me. 451 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 2: He's never had mackers. I proudly, proudly say that. 452 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 1: I don't mean she will one day, but I largely 453 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: managed to avoid that so far. 454 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 2: But no, she's never had nuggets. She doesn't even know 455 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 2: what it is. 456 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 4: Well, how do they know what chicken nuggets are? 457 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: No, because if we go out to a restaurant, you 458 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: know how on the kids' menus there's always like nuggets 459 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: and chips, or there's like spaghetti, bolin, eggs yea. And 460 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: because with her allergies and stuff, because she had sesame 461 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: allergy when she was a lot younger as well when 462 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: she's now thankfully grown out of I could never get 463 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: her like a butt like. I was always very picky 464 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: about what I got. So she's pretty much always had 465 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: some form of hot chips and maybe a chicken nugget 466 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: when we've been out, because they're safely the routine, you know, 467 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: no nut, no sesame options on the menu, and so 468 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: she'll have a couple of nuggets if we go out 469 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: to a restaurant or something. So she's like, can I 470 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: have nuggets for dinner? I was like, no worries, And 471 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't really have time to make it. 472 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 2: I was at the shops. 473 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: I thought, I've got a couple of minutes to grab something. 474 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: And I found these pretty good options at Womats and 475 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: they taste really good and both Tilly and me. I 476 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: had them for dinner the other night and they were 477 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: really they were really happy meals that I like these, Mommy, 478 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: can we have more? And I was pretty impressed nutritionally, 479 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: And I managed to pick them up on sale as 480 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: well for about twenty or thirty percent off, I think, 481 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: so they're there will worst chicken breast bites original three 482 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: hundred grams, so they're quite a large box. You know 483 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: they're going to last a couple of meals, because you're 484 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: gonna build them out with other things. You're not just 485 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: going to serve twelve nuggets. 486 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: On a plate. 487 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: So wills they retail at nine dollars, but this week 488 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: they're on sale at seven dollars, and that was a 489 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago when I picked them up. They're 490 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: about seven dollars for the box as well, so there 491 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: certainly weren't the cheapest option on the market, but they're 492 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: the best nutritionally, and you're paying the extra money for 493 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: the protein because when we look at the ingredient list, 494 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: there's seventy five percent RSPCA approved chicken breast. Seventy five 495 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: percent is huge for a nugget. There are some chicken 496 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: nuggets out there, or you know, those Dino nuggets or 497 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: whatever form of coated crumb chicken that you want to do. 498 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: Some of them are as low as thirty percent. So 499 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: to have something that's one hundred percent chicken breast RSPCO 500 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: approved it seventy five percent is massive, and the other 501 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: twenty five percent is just the coating. 502 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: That's it. 503 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: So it's seventy five percent chicken, twenty five percent coating 504 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: and the coating is made up of with flour, water, 505 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: canola oil, wheat, starch, rice flour, maize, flour, some spices, 506 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: some mineral salt, a little bit of wig powder, and 507 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: some vegetable extract. So quite a good ingredient list. Look, 508 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: if you were making them yourself from home, absolutely they'd 509 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: be better. You'd get some little chicken filets, you'd egg 510 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: wash them, and then you'd you know, blitz up some 511 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: really nice dense whole grain bread and you dip that 512 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: and then you'd wack it in the air fry. 513 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: If I had more time, would that be the gold steaded? Absolutely? 514 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: But these are pretty good for busy parents, like I 515 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: was really happy to serve this to my little kids. 516 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: I was quite happy, and they tasted pretty good. I 517 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: had to try myself. So nutrition information panel wise, per serving, 518 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: they're saying you're serving size is one hundred gram, so 519 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: that's about a third of the packet. So I probably 520 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 1: used a third of the packet between my two kids. 521 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: But they were only quite little, you know, they're only 522 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: two in one. So if you had older kids, obviously, 523 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: maybe you might use the whole box. Maybe you just 524 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: use half of a box. But I think a one 525 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: hundred gram serving size is pretty good for older kids basically, 526 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: so energy wise, it's seven hundred and fifty kilodials with 527 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: eighteen grams of protein is serving, which for kids or 528 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,959 Speaker 1: young kids is very very high, particularly when you compare 529 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: that to other types of chicken nuggets or crumb chicken 530 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: on the market. It's quite low fat four point five 531 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: grams with only one gram being saturated, fifteen point eight 532 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: grams of carbohydrate per serving, one point six grams of sugar, 533 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 1: one point three grams of dietary fiber, and two hundred 534 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: and fifty milligrams of sodium. So I was pretty happy 535 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: with both the ingredients and the nutrition information panel for this. 536 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: I think it's a really really strong product. I like 537 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: that Coals and Wilworth are really stepping up and making 538 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: some better products as well, and like I said that 539 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: it's easy to build this out with a functional meal. 540 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: I gave my kids some sweet potato chips with them. 541 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: We've talked about them on the podcast before I got 542 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: the Coals brand soup potato ones, which I just popped 543 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: both of them in the air fra and I chopped 544 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: up a bit of cucumber, some cherry tomatoes and served 545 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: it with a bit of steam brocoli and that's what 546 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: my kids ate. They absolutely loved it, and it was 547 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: a pretty good nourishing meal which I was able to 548 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: pull together in literally about ten fifteen minutes flat. While 549 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: the stuff was in the air, for I was chopping 550 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: up and cooking a bit of the vegetables and that 551 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: was it. So for me, that's a really quick and 552 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: easy option just to have in the freezer. For I 553 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 1: think I did this on a Friday night. I had, 554 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, busy day All day. I was like, I'm 555 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: not sitting down to like make homemande Chigan. So I 556 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: think this is a really great option for busy parents, 557 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: and it's a good thing to always have in the freezer, 558 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: even if you've got people, you know that pop over 559 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: on the weekend randomly the kids are a bit hungry. 560 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: Serving something like this on a little bit of a 561 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: platter versus pulling out the biscuits and the lollies and 562 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: the chippies, it's actually going to be a better option. 563 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: This with some vegetable sticks and a bit of dip 564 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: and cheese or you know, a bit of flat bread. 565 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: It's a really great option just to tie particularly growing 566 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 1: kids over that little bit. Because they're like bottomless pits. 567 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: Sometimes you just can't fill them up with snack foods. 568 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: So I think these are a really great option to 569 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: add to like a little grazing platter as well. 570 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 2: What do you think? 571 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. 572 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 3: I've liked them for some time and often recommend them 573 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 3: that convenient way, just to quickly add some protein to 574 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 3: a salad. 575 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: You know. 576 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 3: Sometimes you just get sick of tin tuna, or you think, 577 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 3: oh I want something different, a bit tasty, So I 578 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 3: sometimes get my women to just put a few pieces 579 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 3: into a heat them up and put them into a salad. 580 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 3: It just translates any salad into something delicious, you know. 581 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 3: So I use them for a while. But it is 582 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 3: funny that you say about giving them to kids for snacks, 583 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 3: because my boys are getting a bit older now, they're 584 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 3: almost nine, and when their friends come over, they are 585 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 3: like bottomless pits. So I've been keeping now. I couldn't 586 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,719 Speaker 3: use these products with them because they're too expensive, Like 587 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 3: my boys woud demolish a box eage. So I tee 588 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 3: you the products I get when I go to Costco. 589 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 3: I get the big bag of wholeweel crumbed staggules tenderloins 590 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: and use them when the kids have friends over. And 591 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 3: you know what else I've been using. They're actually not 592 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 3: that healthy, unfortunately, but they're delicious is Ikia meatballs. Our 593 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 3: kids go crazy for the Ikea meatballs and you can 594 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 3: just keep them in the freezer and there's a hundred 595 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 3: times better than getting you know, maca take away pete, 596 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 3: so at least they're getting some protein and the boys 597 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 3: love them. So when we co the mums, we have 598 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 3: to like buy all these packets and distribute them with 599 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 3: all the mums because we don't got to I care 600 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 3: that often, but I do find you right, it's a 601 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 3: much smarter snack for kids, and better than any kind 602 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 3: of snack food, whether it's chips or they're getting some 603 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 3: protein in the case that someone's getting some iron. But yeah, 604 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 3: going back to the Woolies ones, there's different flavors as well, 605 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 3: and they're often on sale, I've noticed, so they're just 606 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 3: a handy thing to keep in the freezer we get home. 607 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 3: You can do a few of them on a plate 608 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 3: with a salad bag and again a million times cheaper 609 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 3: and more nutritious than any kind of takeaway food and tasty. 610 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm a big fan as well, and I 611 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 3: do use them myself at home and recommend them to 612 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 3: my clients. 613 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 4: So good. 614 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 3: Finally, all right, well for our final question of the day, 615 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 3: This one made me laugh. It came through our Instagram, 616 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 3: where we get most of our Q and A, so 617 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 3: feel free to keep popping those through if you see 618 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 3: products in the supermarket. It's a way that we can 619 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 3: sort of try and answer as many of our listener 620 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 3: questions as possible. And it was wide as my husband 621 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 3: change one thing in his diet and lose five kilos 622 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 3: and I lose nothing. I think along those lines, why 623 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 3: is it so much easier for men to lose weight 624 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 3: than women? And it absolutely is, and it's pretty basic 625 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 3: physiology as to why. First and foremost, on average, men 626 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 3: are much bigger frames physiologically, and even if they're not 627 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 3: a bigger frame, they will have significantly more muscle mass. 628 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 3: Now as soon as they start to move it, or 629 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 3: eat a bit less or go for a run, they 630 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 3: just burn so many more calories than we do. Going 631 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: back to hunting gatherer days where they're out catching the 632 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 3: lions for dinner. 633 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 4: So there's really not a whole lot we can do 634 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 4: about it. 635 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 3: I anecdotally think that men are often less food focused 636 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 3: as well, Like they often not for always good, but 637 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 3: they often don't eat much in the day and sort 638 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 3: of just have that one meal at night, and then 639 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 3: when they are focused, they really don't have as much 640 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 3: difficulty saying no to food. Male social occasions do not 641 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 3: generally center around food the same way that women do. 642 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 3: Women are often the cooks and the nurturers, are often cooking, 643 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 3: preparing and around food a whole lot more, whereas men 644 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 3: tend to not. And that's a blatant, you know, generalization, 645 00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 3: but I do think it happens. 646 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 4: They don't think about food the way we do. That 647 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 4: it takes snacks with them to work. 648 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 3: They literally eat what crosses their path, and quite possibly physiologically, 649 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 3: they're not driven to eat to the same extent as women, 650 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 3: because women, particularly women of reproductive age, you know, physiologically, 651 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 3: we're programmed to preserve our reproductive health and have calories 652 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 3: always available, whereas men don't have that they can store 653 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 3: and go for a lot longer. So anecdotally, I think 654 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 3: they're not as interested in food. That don't snack as much, 655 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 3: they're less tempted, and then as soon as they eat 656 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 3: a bit less or eat more protein or run a 657 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 3: bit bang, they just burn more. So unfortunately, there's no 658 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 3: point bitching about it. It's just the way we are. 659 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 3: And they generally will always lose weight a lot more 660 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,479 Speaker 3: easily than women, unless they've got severe sort of instun 661 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 3: resistance or diabetes, where they also will struggle. But younger 662 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 3: guys who are still you know, maybe carrying five ten 663 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 3: kilos and below forty or even fifty probably will lose 664 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 3: weight pretty quickly when they put their mind to it. 665 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so frustrating, isn't it. As you said, there's 666 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 2: nothing really much we can do about it. 667 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 4: Well, look at David, your husband, like David. 668 00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 3: Every time I see them, I think, oh my god, 669 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 3: poor David looking so lean, because unless like when I'm there, 670 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 3: if we offer him food, he'll eat it, but he 671 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 3: never goes and gets any food. Whereas we're like so focused, 672 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 3: what are we eating? 673 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: What's for lunch? We've got a snack exactly, and we're 674 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: going out for lunch and he's like it's ten o'clock. 675 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: We're like yeah, yeah, but we're just thinking about us 676 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: when we go out, and he just doesn't think about 677 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: food all day long. But if I put it in 678 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 1: front of him, he will eat two three plates of it. 679 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 2: But they just don't. 680 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: And again this is anecdotal, but they just don't think 681 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: about food. And also they don't have the sweet cravings 682 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: and the hormones that women do. They don't get their 683 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: periods once a month. They aren't not going through perimenopause 684 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: for ten years. Like I say to David, oh, I 685 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: just really need some chocolate, and he's like, we don't need. 686 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 2: It, do we just don't need it. 687 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, they're so again anecdotal, but I feel like 688 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: Mannesot black and white. When it comes to nutrition, they're like, oh, 689 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to lose weight. I just won't eat it, 690 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: whereas with women and we're like, oh my goodness, I've 691 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: got to think about this and the snacks and do 692 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: I need to bring some food with me? 693 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 2: What are we gonna eat when we go here? Like 694 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 2: we're just we just see. I think it's also because. 695 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: We seem to, you know, take care of the whole 696 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: household as well. We are constantly thinking about food, like 697 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: I know in my household, you know, David does a 698 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: lot of he does all the yard work and all 699 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, so he's outburning the calories. I'm 700 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, thinking about what the kids are 701 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: going to have for dinner, getting them in the bath. 702 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: So it might just be those different I don't know 703 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: gender roles, but as you said, men do have more 704 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: muscle mass in general, that's just physiologically what happens. And 705 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: also they have multestosterone, so they will burn easier as well. 706 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes males will also have more active jobs and what 707 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: females do, particularly if they're like, you know, in some 708 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: sort of trade or you know, a quite an active job. 709 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: But I think the biggest thing is the hormones. Like 710 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: for women, like, it's not just particularly as we get older, 711 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: the ovulation seems to be a lot harder as well. 712 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 2: It's not just when the. 713 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: Period hits, it's three four days out before that when 714 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: the cravings and the hormones can go out of whack 715 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: a bit. So, I don't know, I feel like poor 716 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: women were on the back foot a bit. It is 717 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: so much harder. We just cannot compare ourselves to men. 718 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: We just cannot because it's just so much harder to 719 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: make you feel better though, Like, just take a look 720 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: at men. Women generally age heaps better, Like look at 721 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: in their fifties sixty seventies, like you're just like, you're 722 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: not looking amazing. But women who look fifty sixty, you think, wow, 723 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: they're aging beautifully. You know, So pros and cons people, 724 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: pros and cons. The women tend to look pretty good 725 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: as they get a bit older as the men down 726 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: here very quickly. And just you know, lean on your 727 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: girlfriends and the females in your life for support. Males 728 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: just for most of them, just don't get it. They're like, 729 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: just don't eat it. It's that easy. And you know, 730 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: the females in your life will be like, come on, baby, 731 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: you got those The hormones are horrible. 732 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: Way you got this. 733 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: So I think let's lean on our female counterparts for 734 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: that little bit of support. 735 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 2: So it is, it is what it is. 736 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any point getting upset or frustrated 737 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: about it. It is frustrating, but there's nothing much we 738 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: can do about it. So keep on your journey, stay 739 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: in your own lane, and just do the best you 740 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: can and use your female counterparts for a little bit 741 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: of support and motivation. 742 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 3: But also make sure the male in your life is 743 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 3: not acting then as a saboteur, because if they're then 744 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 3: bringing chips or chocolates at night and tempting you or saying, 745 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 3: go on, have extra wine, like put them right in 746 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 3: their place, like they need to be supportive because you 747 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 3: just can't get away with it that kind of food. 748 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 3: So yeah, feel free to put them in their place 749 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 3: in that space. 750 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 2: Very true, very true.
