So to kick us off, Susie, we are 17 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: chatting all things winter and exercise. And it hasn't so 18 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: much lately been raining in Brisbane, but I've heard Sydney 19 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: has been very, very very wet and cold recently, so 20 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: I imagine a lot of people aren't getting there frequent 21 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: walking in How's yours I know you're a big walkout. 22 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: How's yours going lately? 23 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,839 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm pretty determined to get out, even though unless 24 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: it's torrential, I'll still go. And what I find with rain, 25 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: and this is why I wanted to talk about this 26 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 2: at the moment, coming into sort of those few months 27 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: of the year where the temperatures really do drop, particularly 28 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: if you're down south, is very Just say, there's seven 29 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: days of the week and it's raining, and it has 30 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 2: indeed been raining in Sydney for about a week and 31 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: it's supposed to rain for another week and I know 32 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: that I'm pretty sure that's the case in Victoria as well. 33 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 2: But there's probably one day out of those that I 34 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: didn't get out and do a walk outside because it 35 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: was really torrential. It was very difficult to go. But 36 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: what I find on the whole is my clients don't 37 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: go at all. And that was why I wanted to 38 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: talk about it, because that's a real mindset shift around movement, 39 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: because whether it's temperature or whether it's rain or even wind. 40 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: I actually think wind is worse than rain because you 41 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: can put a hat on, you can put. 42 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 3: Rain protective gear. 43 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: If you've got an old pairish use like again, unless 44 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: it's dangerous where there's lightning and things in you know, 45 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: light sprinkles here and then that stop and start, which 46 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: is certainly how it's been in Sydney. 47 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: You know, it's like. 48 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: Today, it's meant to rain later and it might have 49 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: it a little bit, but really it's been pretty clear 50 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 2: most of the day. 51 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 3: So to me, there's no reason not to exercise. 52 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 2: But for some reason, I find clients in general, as 53 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 2: soon as it's a bit colder, as soon as it's 54 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: a bit drizzly, as soon as it's a bit windy, 55 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: everything outside stops. 56 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 3: So the reason I wanted to. 57 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 2: Discuss it was that I think it's really worth spending 58 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: time considering what your exercise program's going to look like 59 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 2: over the next two three four months, particularly if your 60 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 2: exercise of choice is walking. 61 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 3: So I have a lot of clients who may do pilates. 62 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: But there are other exercises walking, which means where are 63 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: victim then of the weather of the shorter days, Because 64 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: of course it's often not safe for women to be walking. 65 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: On their own even early morning when it's. 66 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: Still dark or after about six o'clock, which can really 67 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: be limiting if you work long hours or have a 68 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: reasonably long commute, and let's be honest, that's most of 69 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: us in modern life, and so you're setting yourself up 70 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: to fail if you think that you're going to get 71 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 2: through winter and maintain your training and movement, and if 72 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,839 Speaker 2: specifically your goal is weight loss, it's going to be very, 73 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: very difficult because there's first of all, of course, the 74 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: requirement to move each day, the human bodies program to move. 75 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 3: Modern life, we don't move a. 76 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: Lot because we tend to use transport right to the door, 77 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: we drive right to the doorway of things. We walk 78 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: as middle as possible, and many of us have got 79 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: their jobs long hours. 80 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: So if you're not reaching. 81 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: Six, eight, ten thousand steps just from movement each day, 82 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: things are going to be pretty difficult. And that's not 83 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: even exercise. Exercise is then significantly increasing heart rate. So 84 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: you've really got to think to yourself and be honest 85 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: with yourself about what are you going to do Because 86 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: it's probably going to be cold, it's probably going to 87 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: be wet some of the time, it's going to be dark, 88 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: so you're not going to get your walk in probably half, 89 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: if not less than what you're used to doing. 90 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 3: So a few ideas or tricks and tips. 91 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: I've had from clients recently that prompted me to bring 92 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: this up as a topic of discussion, and I'm sure 93 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: you'll have others lean given your climate slightly different. Again, 94 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: the first thing I have a lot of success with 95 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: is hiring an exercise bike. Now, the reason for the 96 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: hire is that how many people do you know by 97 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: exercise equipment and don't use it. I can't tell you 98 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: how many of my clients I'll say, oh, do you 99 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: have any access to exercise equipment, and they'll say, I've 100 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: got a treadmill. It just doesn't come up and it's 101 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: certainly not their use. So for those of you who 102 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: do have equipment, come on like it's time. 103 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: To get it out. 104 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: And basically it's got to be in an easy position 105 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: in the house. If it's down the back shed on 106 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: your own in the cold, you're not going to use it. 107 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 3: So this is where the odysty really is important. 108 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 2: It this time of the year, but I suggest that 109 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: a bike higher and I had great success with two 110 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: of my clients. 111 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 3: One is a lawyer who works. 112 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: Very very long hours and generally finishes very late, and 113 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: that's something that just isn't going to change anytime soon, 114 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 2: given her career and the demands of that. And then 115 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: I've also got a client who's got gestational diabetes and 116 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: she is finding it so helpful to just hop on 117 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,559 Speaker 2: that bike. So three, five, seven, ten minutes after a meal. 118 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: She doesn't want to walk too much because she doesn't 119 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 2: want to induce early labor because she's heavy, and so 120 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 2: a bike is perfect because it's perfect to flush out 121 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: gluecose after eating. It doesn't put any pressure on her body, 122 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: and she's stead of doing up to forty five minutes 123 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: a day without even noticing, because she just pops on, 124 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,559 Speaker 2: puts a show on her iPad, and off she goes. 125 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 2: And in terms of costs, hiring is relatively and expensive. 126 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: You get it delivered, you get taken right into your home. 127 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: It doesn't occupy a huge amount of space. Don't go 128 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: and buy that Audi manual bike that hurts when you 129 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: sit on it. It's got to be comfortable, because you 130 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: won't do it. You know they're not comfortable, they hurt, 131 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 2: they're hard if you're not overly fitting, not a. 132 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 3: Natural exercise, and you won't do it. 133 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: So you're better to pay a bit more get an 134 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: electronic one. Often gyms have got great sales because they're 135 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: closing down, or you can get great deals on Facebook 136 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: marketplace because all the other people have bought them and 137 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 2: never use them and finally getting rid of them. But 138 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: it's less offensive in terms of space and energy, and 139 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: you can get a good workout in five ten minutes, 140 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 2: even just after a meal. So I think it's very 141 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: functional piece of equipment. Now, sure, if you've got room 142 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: and want to invest in a treadmill, but they're expensively 143 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: and good ones are huge. They take up a huge 144 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 2: amount of space and time. They don't fit in most 145 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: people's homes. But if you do have one or access 146 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 2: to one, because that's the other thing, if you live 147 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: in an apartment block or have access to a gym 148 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: through work, just go and walk on the treadmill. You 149 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 2: don't have to go and do a high intensity workout 150 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 2: for two hours. You can just walk for twenty thirty 151 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: minutes to get that movement in, and you can do 152 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: a work call on the phone, you can play your 153 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: favorite show and just get your movement. 154 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 3: So that may be a. 155 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 2: Strategy, but things like cross trainers and rowers, you just 156 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: can't do them. For long enough and they're boring. You 157 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: can't watch TV. Really, they occupy a huge amount of space. 158 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: You're not going to get as efficient a workouts. That's 159 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: my go to, which is hiring an exercise bike. Or 160 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 2: it may be time to take up a short term 161 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 2: gym membership, again where you haven't committed hundreds and hundreds 162 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: of dollars, but in which you can just go and 163 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: use the equipment briefly. Because a lot of us are 164 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: pre programmed to believe you have to do an hour 165 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: of high intensity exit decides to get the results, which 166 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 2: is not true. 167 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 3: You can go and do twenty minutes before you pick 168 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 3: up the kids on the way. 169 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 2: You can do ten to fifteen minutes after dinner just 170 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 2: to move and flush the gluepost through the bloodstream. But again, 171 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: doing it at more of a flexible gym membership might 172 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: be much more a reasonable option, so that if you 173 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: do have half an hour or Sunday, or you finish 174 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: work a bit early or whatever it is, it's accessible. 175 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 2: And that's why I have a gym membership, not because 176 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: I love the gym. For the last week, when it 177 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: has been raining a lot in Sydney, I've just been 178 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 2: going after dropping the kids. Rather than going up to 179 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: do a run outside the bush, I've just been going 180 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 2: and walking on the treadmill because then it gets my steps. 181 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: I do calls or some admin or Instagram while I'm 182 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: doing it, and it's just a functional reason. And I 183 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: think it costs me like twenty dollars a week. I 184 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 2: think it's like anytime, what are those ones? So I 185 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: want you to have that conversation with yourself, not you know, 186 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 2: what should I need to exercise more? How are you 187 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: going to ensure you exercise given temperature, weather and short 188 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: days for the next three to four months. 189 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: I'm certainly like you. And I've got a lovely client 190 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: at the moment downtown in Victoria and it's quite caught 191 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: down there and it's been raining quite a lot, and 192 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: she has taken up a gym membership about a month 193 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: ago and she's really enjoying herself. We got to start 194 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: up with a pet to start with, just to make 195 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: sure her form and the things that she's doing are correct. 196 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: You know, the last thing we want to do is 197 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: an injury. So she does a mix of some strength 198 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: training and then some walking on the treadmill, and she's 199 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: very likely going to do that till spring hits, because 200 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: it's only going to get cold, it's only going to 201 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: get darker, and that for her is very very easy 202 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: something that she can do, and she generally wakes up 203 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: and exercises at that time anyway. But like you said, 204 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: it is just a little bit more, you know, potentially 205 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: safer for some women to not be exercising in the dark. 206 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: But also it's a lot more comfortable when it's not 207 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: freezing cold and raining outside, So that is a great option. 208 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: Saying that you mentioned the treadmills, I had another client 209 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: who got one of those walking treadmills. She sent me 210 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: the link on Amazon and it was only like, oh, 211 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: I want to say, like six hundred dollars, Like I know, 212 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: this sounds like a lot of money, and I appreciate 213 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: it is, but in terms of treadmills, it's actually quite 214 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: an affordable type of treadmill. She puts her laptop up there, 215 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: she listens, like if she's got like a tea meeting 216 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: that she doesn't have to actively say too much on. 217 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: She pops her headphones in and just listens while she's 218 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: doing some steps on the treadmill. And if anyone calls 219 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: on it at ad comments she just kind of steps 220 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: to the side and you know, we'll talk and then 221 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: kind of gets back on again. She's not running, she's 222 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: not panting and sweating, but she's just actively getting some 223 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: steps up, which is really important at this time of year. 224 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: And I think Susie I mentioned once I got the 225 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: clearance from my OBI around that six to eight week 226 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: after I had Tilli, I actually hired an assault bike 227 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: offlines on AsSalt Bike. I think they also call them 228 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: air bikes. They're similar to stationary bikes, but they're just 229 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: I find them so much harder. They're insane, like the 230 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: because it's a full body, arm and a leg workout 231 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: at once, and then the bike I think they called 232 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: an air bike because they pump through the air. Just 233 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: the amount of effort is I think ten times harder 234 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: than a stationary bike. So if you have a large 235 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: amount of weight to lose and you're not someone that's 236 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: regularly into fitness, a stationary bike or just a statin 237 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: treadmill can be great. But if you are somebody with 238 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: quite a good level of fitness that just doesn't like 239 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: the cold or doesn't want to be out in the rain, 240 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: or doesn't you know enjoy exercising in winter. I think 241 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: you're not going to get too much benefit from a 242 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: stationary bike, if I'm being honest, I think you're probably 243 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: going to get a better benefit in terms of calorie burn, movement, 244 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: heart rate, increases, overall sort of metabolic benefits from using 245 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: something like an assault bike and starting off, Susie, I 246 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: would do thirty seconds, then have a minute and a 247 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: half off, thirty seconds on a minute and a half off. 248 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: I did ten minutes of that and I was wrecked. 249 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: My legs were like jelly like. 250 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 3: It was so hard. 251 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: And then as I got stronger and fitter and faster 252 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: and built up from there, I think I heard it 253 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: for a good few months. I was doing a minute 254 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: on a minute off for ten to fifteen minutes on 255 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: a really good day, twenty minutes, but not a lot 256 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: if the kids hadn't slept very well. And I remember 257 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: looking online and there were quite a few companies themselves 258 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: that hired them, but I remember I chose a guy 259 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: of Facebook marketplace, and he I think him and his 260 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: wife had brought a whole bunch of equipment in COVID 261 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: and they just didn't use it. Anymore and they were 262 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: traveling for work. So I rented his bike for I 263 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: honestly think it was like fifteen dollars a week or something, 264 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: and I think he charged me twenty bucks to drop 265 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: it off. He's like, you can come collect it for free, 266 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't have a trailer. So 267 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: he dropped it off. He like, carry it up with 268 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: my husband up into the you know, we put on 269 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: the pool deck. And it was great, Like it was wonderful, 270 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: and it was so cost effective. I didn't have to 271 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: leave the house. I could just do ten minutes. If 272 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: the kids resleep, I put the baby monitor next to me, 273 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: like I didn't have to go anywhere. It was a 274 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: really really effective way for me to train in those 275 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: early post part of months. It got my heart rate up. 276 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: I could go as easily or as hard as what 277 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: I wanted or you know, felt like on the day. 278 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: So I'm a massive fan of hiring equipment because I 279 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: think you're right. I think a lot of people are 280 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: put off by the expense of buying one of those 281 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: bikes out right, which can be well over one thousand dollars, 282 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: and how much are we really going to use it? 283 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: Like if you hire one and you're using it regularly 284 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: for three to six months, yes, then look into potentially 285 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: actually buying one and investing in one. But I think 286 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: the large majority office only really use them for you know, 287 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: a few months of the year, and at best, I 288 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: think you know the intentions there, but we actually don't 289 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: use it as much as what we think. And so 290 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: sometimes it's a little bit of a remotivation to have 291 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: the weekly subscription that you're paying because you see it 292 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: come out of your account and you think, oh, I 293 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: should be using that, almost like a gym membership, Whereas 294 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: if you buy outright, you kind of buy that right 295 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: to forget about it, and then the motivation's kind of 296 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: gone to be using that regularly. That's what I feel anyway. 297 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 2: Well, all I can say is that I saw that 298 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 2: assault and it looked like a piece of army equipment 299 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: and it. 300 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 3: Was like hardcore. 301 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 2: I was like a hard no on that, like, let 302 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: me and leanne trains like a machine people, and I 303 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 2: know that a lot of is listening and not at 304 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 2: that level, so don't listen to her. 305 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 3: It was like a brutal piece of equipment, like you 306 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 3: would just feel like you're dying going on that. 307 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 2: But when I would just to end this segment, I 308 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: think for women on their list of to do, exercise 309 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: just becomes another thing and at the end of the 310 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: day just we like we're all the same, just so 311 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 2: exhausted and thought of having to do something else is 312 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: just overwhelming. But the thing about having equipment in your 313 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 2: sort of private area almost is like a space for 314 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 2: you to just have a moment. And whether it's a 315 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 2: bike it ends up being a treadmill. If it is 316 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 2: at home, you don't lose any time because time is 317 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 2: our most precious asset, and sometimes getting to a gym park, 318 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: getting inside the door, getting changed, there's just twenty thirty 319 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 2: extra minutes we don't have. 320 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 3: Whereas if you have that equipment next to your bed. 321 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: Which is an overly romantic admittedly, or in your study, 322 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 2: you know, next to the second TV, it's just that 323 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: little space for you where you can pop your iPad 324 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: on watch one of your more indulgent shows that the 325 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 2: rest of the family you don't want to, the husband 326 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 2: won't watch, and it's just a good way of pulling 327 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 2: back some time for you. And if you can make 328 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: it not stressful and not push so it hurts. It's 329 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 2: more just gentle movement that you'll build fitness over time. 330 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 3: I think it's very. 331 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: Efficient because let's be honest, very few of us have 332 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: that time, energy, and even financially money necessarily to be 333 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 2: paying lots for private gym or pt So that's why 334 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of even just hiring a piece 335 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 2: of equipment and seeing if you can make it work 336 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 2: for you at home. So definitely something just to think about. 337 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: And yeah, feel free to let us know how you 338 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: go on our Instagram. We'd love to hear from you. 339 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's not going to be enough to walk. 340 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: It's just too tricky with weather and temperature and even 341 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: safety for. 342 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 3: A lot of us at the moment. 343 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: All right, well we want to shock at in our 344 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 2: next segment is the importance of having protein through the day. 345 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 2: And I think this was an article that we found 346 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: on Chemist's Warehouse or one of the sites talking about 347 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 2: easy ways to boost your protein and take through the day. 348 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,599 Speaker 2: And we thought that is really good topic because inevitably, 349 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: what I see again with busy women and clients is 350 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 2: that they have no issue getting perhaps their protein at 351 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: nighttime with a serve of fish or chicken meat, but 352 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: when you really break down their snacks and even their lunch, 353 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 2: I'm constantly giving feedback to clients wears your protein add 354 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: protein in the day, and so we thought it was 355 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: lent itself to first of all, not only the importance 356 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: of getting enough dietary protein, but the importance of it 357 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: having it regularly rather than all at once. Because, first 358 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 2: of all, particularly as women move through their late thirties 359 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: and forties, we know protein requirements increase, and we're learning 360 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: more about the importance of that because basically, as we 361 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: move through perimenopause and menopause, we become less efficient at 362 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 2: burning carbohydrate. 363 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 3: We're more likely to store fat round. 364 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: Amount of abdominal area, and one way to help pro 365 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 2: that gradual weight creep around the middle is to get 366 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 2: enough dietary protein. Because dietary protein, until you have enough, 367 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: your body will keep eating, and hence the importance of 368 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: having it right through the day. 369 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 3: It helps keep us full and satisfied. 370 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 2: It helps to regulate insulin levels and so very very 371 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 2: important to regulate also glucose levels throughout the day. You'll 372 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: notice straight away if you have twenty to thirty grams 373 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 2: of high quality protein at each of your meals and 374 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 2: even snacks that you crave a lot less through the day, 375 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: you're not having that sort of urge to keep snacking. 376 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 2: You feel much more in control of your energy, and 377 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: it's a very empowering feeling to not be constantly hungry 378 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: and searching for food. Whereas if you start the day, 379 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 2: say with a bowl of oats just made maybe with 380 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: some plain milk, grab fruit through the morning, and even 381 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 2: a soup at lunchtime at the moment and thinking you're 382 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: eating really healthy, that profile is grossly an adequate and 383 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: dietary protein. Whereas if you'd had, for example, a birch 384 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 2: and music bowl, maybe protein yoga or added protein powder, 385 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 2: if you've had say some cheese with your fruit, if 386 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: you've had a soup with some protein toe, your energy 387 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 2: will be so much better regulated because of that importance 388 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: of protein through the day. So we thought we would 389 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 2: just go through some dietary ways to get that no matter. 390 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 3: What your meal is. 391 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: So a few of the important I guess superfoods that 392 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: I turned to at each of the meals, certainly at 393 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: breakfast time if you're not having eggs. The couple of 394 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 2: key foods I always use is a protein based yogurt, 395 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: or if you don't enjoy protein based yogurt things like 396 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: your pro Shabani because of the distinct flavor, just add 397 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 2: some protein powder to your normal yogurt. So Leada and 398 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 2: I of course have our own protein designed by dietitians 399 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 2: Nourish Women's Blend and Nourish pre and Probiotic. Not wanting 400 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: to two hour on horn, but they are great tasting, 401 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: high quality proteins, and just a tablespoon added to your 402 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 2: favorite cereal or oat mix, we'll give you it extra 403 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 2: twenty grams of high quality protein, and that's going to 404 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: really help regulate your glucose through the morning. When it 405 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 2: comes to snacks, I'm either using small seves of cheese 406 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 2: like a baby bell, which is about twenty grams. Twenty 407 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: grams of cheese roughly, we'll give you about five grams 408 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 2: of protein. It's a bit on the low sides. Even 409 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: still isn't leanne really because we're wanting even snacks to 410 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 2: get to ten to twenty grams. 411 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 3: So cottage cheese. 412 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: Is why we like cottage cheese so much more because 413 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: you get so much more protein in it. So if 414 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 2: you like it, it's much much better on crackers. You 415 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: can always use your yogurt as a snack with some fruit. 416 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 3: What else you take over? Because I'm just rambling, I'll. 417 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: Just say, if you're not a fan of cottas cheese 418 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: as a viral, I think it's hot honey cottish shees 419 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: toast at the moment, just google hot honey cottage cheese toast. 420 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: Give it a whirl. Apparently it's amazing. I like cottas cheese, 421 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: so I'm like five stars from me. But I have 422 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: converted a couple of clients that aren't a big fan 423 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: of cottage shees. I have been getting them to mix 424 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: it a little bit of cottas shoes in with a 425 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: couple of eggs to make a bit of a higher 426 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: protein based scramble. That's a good idea as well. I 427 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: have had people suggest adding coottish shes to like a smoothie. 428 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: I'm a hard no on that. I just think it 429 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: throws off the taste. 430 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 3: It's not for me. 431 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: I'd much rather have a delicious protein like designed by 432 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: Dietihans in my smoothie. Some other good ideas from breakfast, 433 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: A baked be's on toast can be good. A bit 434 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: of smoke salmon with bit of cream cheese that can 435 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 1: be good convenience. Snack wires you can do like protein 436 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: bars or balls. You can make your own kind of 437 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: energy balls, add some protein powder in. There are a 438 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: few ranges of like protein based I guess musely on 439 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: nut based bars on the market. Definitely read your labels. 440 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: They are what you would call a process food. But again, 441 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: I don't see it as an issue for my clients 442 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: when they're busy, they're on the run, it's not something 443 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: I get them to have every day. But if they're 444 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: traveling or they're you know, going transitting through airports that 445 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: sort of thing. For their work, I've always got them 446 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: to have some sort of protein bar or bite within 447 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: their handbag. And then in terms of how much protein 448 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: for the average healthy adult, about zero point eight to 449 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: one gram of protein per kila or body weight is 450 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: what we would call would be sort of the recommended 451 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: daily amount of protein. When the goal is fat loss, 452 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: Susie I tend to recommend about one point five grams 453 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: a day on average to my clients, and when the 454 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: goal is muscle gain, it can actually be up to 455 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: about two grams of protein a day. Now, the kicker 456 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: is a lot of people are aiming to gain muscle 457 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: and loose that at the same time. That is a 458 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: whole other segment that we could I could talk for 459 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: hours on that. How that's not a good idea, like 460 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: either go for fat loss or go for muscle gain. 461 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: But I feel like a lot of people who take 462 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: recommendations from their pets in terms of protein amounts. I 463 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: get so many messages from women zuzi saying my pds 464 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: recommending me to have one hundred and fifty one hundred 465 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: and eighty two hundred grams of protein a day. It's 466 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: far too much. So more protein is not better, but 467 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: it is important that you ensure you are getting a 468 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: regular speed of protein throughout the day. And if you're 469 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: plant based and you don't have you know animal based products. 470 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: We do know animal based products contain the highest amount 471 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 1: of what we call absorbable protein, so lean meats, chicken, fish, 472 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: as zuzi, bension, greg yogurt, cottage, cheese, or great ideas. 473 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: Plant based wise, we want to think about things like 474 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: tofu tempes, our beans and our legumes, our lentils, our chickpeas. 475 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: Quinoa has a small amount of plant based protein and 476 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: it so do our nuts and seeds that sort of thing, 477 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: but they're predominantly nuts and seeds are predominantly fats, although 478 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: they do have some plant based protein. Things like kinoa 479 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: or beans have a bit of carbohydrate in them as well, 480 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: which is not an issue at all. Even whole grains, 481 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: like when you have pasta, when you have rice, there's 482 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: a small amount of plant based protein in there as well, 483 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: but we wouldn't call that. You wouldn't just have a 484 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: stir fry with rice and say cool, I'm adding enough 485 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: protein to my meal. It's certainly not enough. We would 486 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: ideally want you to add some legumes or some tofus 487 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: or a sprinkle of nutritional yeas like so you can 488 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: get some of those little like soy protein nuggets.

So we're certainly big 521 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 2: fans of protein and we've certainly got plenty of information 522 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 2: around it to keep your metabolic rate and body composition 523 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 2: on track as you move through your thirties, forties, fifties 524 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 2: and beyond. 525 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 3: All Right, Lenne soup, and there's definitely soup season. I 526 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 3: always find it. 527 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 2: Interesting because we sort of go along past Easter and 528 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 2: it's still quite warm weather and everyone's still having their salads, 529 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 2: and then it's like bang, something happens. 530 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 3: Everyone's like an US, no more salad. It's times of soup. 531 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 2: And I've noticed in the supermarket it was like decimated 532 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 2: this morning with all the soup section and there's a 533 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 2: lot of sales on So we've shifted to that now. 534 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 2: The first thing we will say is we are not 535 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 2: suggesting that supermarket pre made soups are better than homemade. Myself, 536 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 2: I don't buy pre made soup, so I like to 537 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 2: make my own soup. 538 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 3: I've got many recipes on Instagram. 539 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 2: But what I will say is that to make soup, 540 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 2: it takes a lot of time. It's actually quite expensive 541 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 2: particularly if you're making like a green soup to pay 542 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 2: for all those veggies, and not everyone has that time. 543 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 2: So I don't have any judgment myself. I like homemade soup, 544 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 2: and I have time often to do. 545 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 3: It, and I'm doing it for work. 546 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 2: But there are loads of supermarket soups that are actually 547 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 2: pretty good in every yarion. When I go and do 548 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 2: a review on supermarket soups, I'm shocked how good they're getting. 549 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 3: Like they're literally it's hard pressed. 550 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: To justify sometimes making homemade when you see how cost 551 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 2: effective and tasty and clean some of those are. So 552 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 2: we wanted to share with you one of our favorites today, 553 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 2: and this is a brand that's been around for a 554 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 2: really long time. We're going to talk about the Potango 555 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 2: Chicken and Vegetable. And every time I look at them, 556 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 2: they just get better and better. And all of them 557 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: are great. They're in the fresh section of both woolies 558 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 2: and coals, But for me, this Potango free range chicken 559 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 2: and vegetable is just a standout nutritionally, it's five hundred 560 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 2: grams now I think it retails for about five dollars. 561 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: It's about two fifty per serve, which is incredibly cost effective. 562 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: When you're thinking how much we spend on lunch out 563 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: like this, how can you go past this? When I 564 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: look at the ingredient list, it's forty six percent free 565 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 2: range chicken stock, which is water, chicken bones, carrot, onion, herbs, spice, 566 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 2: and then forty five percent vegetable potato at seventeen, which 567 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 2: is pretty good because sometimes you will. Sea swoops are 568 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 2: filled with potato, carrot, twelve corn, seven onion, sweet potato, 569 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 2: three peas and garlic, water, free range chicken at five percent, salt, 570 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 2: corn starch, white wine, thyme, per pre car sunflower oil, 571 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 2: but pepper. 572 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 3: It is as clean as clean can be. 573 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 2: It's three and a half hell of stars, which just 574 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 2: makes them again of the Health Star rating system, just quietly. 575 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 3: Because of the sodium. All right, It's actually pretty good 576 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 3: though for a soup. 577 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 2: So the protein perserve there's two steps per pack is 578 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: four point three. It's not overly high in protein, but 579 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 2: that's okay because the soup generally isn't acting as a 580 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: protein source. 581 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 3: But we'll talk about that in a minute. 582 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: Thirteen grams are carbohydrate and only three point three grams 583 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: of sugars, none. 584 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 3: Of which are added because a lot of soups do. 585 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 2: And I just checked out the Wooly Fresh soups this 586 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 2: morning and a lot of them have added sugar. Now, 587 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 2: I would never add sugar to soup, so it frustrates 588 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 2: me when pre made soups have it added. It shouldn't 589 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 2: for a good quality one. So this has got no 590 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 2: added sugar. Two point three grams of dietary fiber, which 591 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 2: is pretty good. It's five hundred and thirty milligrams of 592 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 2: thirtium perserve, which isn't low, but you won't get a 593 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 2: low soup like everyone's all hoitty about soups containing salt. 594 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 2: Imagine how much you put into season at home. So 595 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 2: for me, if it's under six eight hundred, it's pretty good. 596 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 2: It can always be lower, but I trust me, if 597 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 2: it's too low, you won't eat it. 598 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 3: It just won't taste good. 599 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 2: And if you wanted to increase the protein content to 600 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 2: make this a meal, all you would have to do 601 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 2: is ads and chicken breast to it when you heat 602 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 2: it up, and you have this with a slice of 603 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: berg and swee leean or a slice of protein toast, 604 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 2: and you've got a beautiful meal. 605 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 3: I can't fault this soup. 606 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: I just think it's ten out of ten for me, 607 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 2: and the fact it gets three and a half hell stars. 608 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 2: I'm like, really like, this is as clean as clean 609 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 2: can be. What do you think, Leoni? 610 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 3: You like it? Yeah? 611 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: The ingredient list is great. I've always liked the Potango 612 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: brand in terms of soup, gluten free, perfect, brass selected 613 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, people with sealate disease. It's three serves of vegetable, 614 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: which is is great, like we see a bulk of 615 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: vegetables on that ingredient list. I really like it. I 616 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: do personally think it's too low calorie for a meal, 617 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: so like you said, I would be adding a handful 618 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: of chicken a handful of frozen broccoli just to bulk it. 619 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: Add a little bit and a nice slice of protein taste, 620 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: or a beautiful slice of soil in bread, just like 621 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: you mentioned, just to round out that meal. Like if 622 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: I it this, I'd be hungry, get in and out, 623 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: particularly because I'm breastfeeding and exercising. But I do love 624 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: the fact that it's packed with veggies. The ingredientless is 625 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: very clean. There's no extra additives or preservatives or anything 626 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: like that. That we don't want in there, just good 627 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: quality stuff. It is made in New Zealand, not astray, 628 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: but that's okay. We can support our friends across the 629 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: way there. And it is a nice fresh soup as well. 630 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: I get a lot of clients to say, I'm happy 631 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: to buy, you know, a bit of a pre made soup, 632 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: but I prefer a fresh one over like one you 633 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: know in the supermarket shop section. So I'm a big 634 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: fan of this as well. I just think be mindful 635 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: to round it out. You know, you can add a 636 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: bit of brown rice to this and I don't know, 637 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: some leftover pork or something, yeah, something like that. Just 638 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: bulk it out with a little bit. Like carbs are 639 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: very low, like thirteen grams of carbohydrate, we would ideally 640 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: want that a little bit high, so a bit of 641 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: extra vege, bit of extra protein and some sort of 642 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: carbohydrate with it. You could have this and then you know, 643 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: a cup of fruit or something afterwards if you wanted, 644 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: or you know, you could have a bit of a 645 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: yopro afterwards, if that's what you wanted, a higher protein yogurt. 646 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: But I do think this is a great base to 647 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: start a meal off with. And like you said, the sodium, 648 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: it's high. So if you had issues with blood pressure 649 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: or for some reason needed to limit the salt in 650 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: your diet, you'd want to be a little bit wary. 651 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: But for the average healthy human, you know, we're not 652 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: going to be recommending that you eat this every day. 653 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: A couple of times a week would be absolutely okay. 654 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,959 Speaker 2: You won't find many supermarket soups lower than that sodium wae. 655 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 2: It's just what's required to get it to a taste 656 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 2: that's not bar And as I said, at home, you 657 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 2: season with salt, everyone's so hoiughty. But any stock that 658 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 2: you use is salt based, so it's going to be 659 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 2: hard to get soup low. Because don't forget that when 660 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 2: it comes to sodium intake, it's a heavily buffet effect 661 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 2: with potassium, which comes from vegetable so one of the 662 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 2: benefits is heavy vegetable based SIPs like this are giving 663 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 2: you a lot of potassium, so the salt is actually 664 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 2: less relevant unless you're very salt density, even have high 665 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 2: blood pressure, which should be proactively avoiding some of those 666 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 2: pre made soups. 667 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 3: Anyway, you are right, it is. 668 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 2: Low calorie and low carbs, so it would be a 669 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 2: very light dinner if you've had a big day of eating, 670 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: or like you said, I like that idea of having 671 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 2: it not with bread so much at night, but I 672 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 2: think like a yo pro will give you that bulk 673 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 2: factor or particular if you add extra veggies or chicken 674 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: to it. But yeah, top match for me. I think 675 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 2: it's really good and it's probably I'm sure they've improved 676 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 2: those formulations. They weren't as good last year. I'm sure, 677 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 2: so well done, potendo. The more the products like that 678 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 2: we have in the supermarket, the better to make healthy easy, 679 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 2: affordable and are tasting wonderful. So to wraps up the enne, 680 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 2: I'm going to do this section even though it's technically 681 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 2: yours because it's a listener question that came through on 682 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,959 Speaker 2: it and start a perhaps chocolate milk and is it 683 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 2: actually healthy? 684 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 3: And I thought we hadn't talked about it. 685 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 2: And I thought it was quite an interesting topic because 686 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 2: certainly in sports situation circles, chocolate milk is often referred 687 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 2: to as a very smart recovery drink for particularly indurance 688 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 2: type athletes who might be doing running training because a 689 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 2: few years ago there was some research to show that 690 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 2: it promoted muscle recovery, just as good as almost supplements, 691 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 2: but of course it's a more cost effective option than 692 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 2: say protein powders in athletes because chocolate milk is just 693 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 2: basically dairy, so some protein coming naturally from milk with 694 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 2: some sugar added, so it's sort of a perfect mix 695 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 2: of carbon protein. 696 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 3: So it's a bit controversial chocolate milk. 697 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 2: I actually give my kids chocolate milk for breakfast every day, 698 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 2: and it's not a one I make. 699 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 3: It's actually got added sugar in it. 700 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 2: And the reason I do it is that my kids 701 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 2: were not great milk drinkers. And also it's a long story, 702 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 2: but when they were very little and had to get 703 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 2: to preschool early. 704 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 3: I didn't have a lot of time in the morning. 705 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 2: I had to leave, like at seven seven thirty, so 706 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 2: I just used to give them that was quick and 707 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 2: easy basically, And to be honest, I've just continued it 708 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 2: because rather than having disgusting cereal bowls to clean later 709 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 2: or having to get up in my eggs we still 710 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: have to leave quite early, I've always just given them 711 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 2: a chocolate milk and they don't have a lot of 712 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 2: other dairy doesn't have added sugar, yes, but. 713 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 3: My rationalite is overall nutritionally, i'd. 714 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 2: Rather they have the milk because it's really important time 715 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 2: for their bones. 716 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 3: For me, so I'm sort of a bit biased. 717 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 2: That I think there's actually nothing overly wrong with it, 718 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 2: and I think that it's a hundred times better than 719 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 2: other sweet drinks like fruit juice cordial soft drink now 720 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 2: as kids get older, so my boys never asked for 721 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 2: that because they get their chocolate milk in the morning 722 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 2: and they know they've how to serve with calcium. But 723 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 2: generally speaking, it does have added sugar. You know, it's 724 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 2: got up to sort of seventeen twenty grams per to 725 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty more containers, so not insignificant. So 726 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 2: I think you've got to be mindful that for most adults, 727 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: we certainly don't need it, and if you're a gym, 728 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: you don't need it for recovery. Like the only people 729 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 2: I would suggest use a product like that for recovery 730 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 2: would be quite high level athletes like rugby league players, 731 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 2: basketball players, teenage boys who have really high energy demands. 732 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: So the average person, it is a source of added 733 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 2: sugar in the diet which most of us don't need. 734 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 2: Given the recommendation is for twenty five grams of aded 735 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 2: sugars or less each day from the World Health Organization. 736 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 3: That's going to give you at least half of that 737 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 3: in one hit. 738 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 2: So it's more specific food I would use with specific 739 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 2: groups like athletes, teenagers who have ig energy demands, or 740 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 2: to me like to have that as a quick and 741 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 2: easy breakfast on the go with a bit apple. It's 742 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 2: no issue. But that's obviously me as a dietician. With 743 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 2: my own kid's diet, it's a little bit different. But 744 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 2: the other thing I want to talk about was there 745 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 2: was recently a product and I think we even reviewed 746 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 2: it on the podcast where there was a chocolate milk 747 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 2: in supermarket with no added sugar. 748 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: Mmm bronze dairy. 749 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 2: But the trouble is didn't taste very good, yeah, because 750 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 2: there's no aded sugar. So I bought it because I thought, 751 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 2: oh great, I'll swap the kids over from the little devondale. 752 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 2: I think it's like one very small, like two hundred 753 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 2: mimile less that I buy it cost to go in bold. 754 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 2: I'll swap my kids. 755 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 3: Over from that to the no added sugar. But they 756 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 3: wouldn't drink it. So that's the issue. 757 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 2: As soon as you take some of the sugar out, 758 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 2: foods aren't always palatable, and so there's what's ideal in 759 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 2: nutrition versus what people will consume. So is it better 760 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 2: to have a glass of milk with a spoon of Milo? 761 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 2: It's the same thing. Milo's added sugar. You know, it's 762 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 2: got some nutrients added, but it's still added sugar. It's 763 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 2: more cost effective to have milk, long life milk with 764 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 2: a spoon of Milo, And definitely it's probably nutritionally slightly better, 765 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 2: and you can get a lower sugar Milo, but you're 766 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 2: splitting hairs. 767 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 3: Between probably a few grams here and there. 768 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 2: So I think that in a place of a balanced 769 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 2: diet for children it can be used, but certainly. 770 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 3: Not a product I ever used with adults, only if 771 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 3: they're athletes. 772 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I must have never in my entire career written 773 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: chocolate milk into a client's milk plant. I predominantly work 774 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: with women to lose weight. But there is some research 775 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: out there, and I think this listener question it's a 776 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: good one because there is some research, particularly as you mentioned, 777 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: from a sports nutrition perspective. I just pulled up the 778 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: study it's a post exercise recovery beverage for endurance sports. 779 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: That's the key endurance sports. It's not a five k run. 780 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: It's not going there do your ten minute treadmill walk. 781 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: It's an endurance sport. If you run marathons, if you're 782 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: a triathlete, if you're doing ultra endurance, you know, walks 783 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: through the forest that last three days. Chocolate milk is 784 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: the prime you know, drink of choice for you getting 785 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: the sugars, you're getting the protein. Basically, they are saying 786 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: it has a good carver hydrate to protein ratio. It's 787 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: a forest to one. They actually in the research recommend 788 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: low fat chocolate milk. We actually don't want too much 789 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: fat as a post recovery option. We predominantly just want 790 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: carbohydrates in protein in that forest to one ratio. So 791 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: they're saying any sort of commercially you know, occurring chocolate 792 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: milk like something you'd find and the souper market is fine. 793 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: You want to consume it essentially about one to one 794 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: point five grams of it per Kiler Graham immediately after 795 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: exercise and again it to our post exercise mark. And 796 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: this appears to be very optimal in terms of exercise 797 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: recovery and do help minimize basically muscle damage. So this 798 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: study was back in twenty twelve, when I don't really 799 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: think the research has changed since then. I do know 800 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: a lot of friends at are sports scientitians who continue 801 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: to recommend chocolate milk. But the kicker in this article 802 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: is that is for endurance based athletes or what we 803 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: would call weekend warriors, those who are very serious about 804 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: their exercise. If you just take up weight training and 805 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: you're doing two sessions with your PT a week and 806 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: the goal is fat loss, I would definitely not be 807 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: recommending chocolate milk few I think, you know, a glass 808 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: of a glass of milk or a glass of skim 809 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: milk is absolutely fine, but there's no reason that you 810 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: need to add added sugars to your milk. So I 811 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: think for the average adult that listened to the podcast 812 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: that we've surveyed over a thousand of our listeners, Susie, 813 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: they want weight loss. Like I think it was over 814 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: ninety percent of our women listening want weight loss. Chocolate 815 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: milk is not something that we would recommend here on 816 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: the Nutrition Couch for your goals. 817 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 2: No, I would say though for me, for children, it's 818 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 2: preferred to soft drink and juice because there's a lot 819 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 2: of you know, just being around kids that age. 820 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 3: Now, I can't tell you how often they consume. 821 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 2: It, whether you're out at the club in a group situation. 822 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 2: And if I had to choose as like a treat 823 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 2: or something more indulgent, I would give it one hundred 824 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 2: times instead of juice or soft drink, because at least 825 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 2: they're getting some calciums and magnesium, and you can certainly 826 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 2: find options that are lighter if. 827 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 3: You look at the label. So take a. 828 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: Look, all right, Susie, thank you for that. That brings 829 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: us to the end of another episode of the Nutrition Couch. Now, 830 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: if your diet is lacking in a little bit of protein, 831 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: don't forget to check out our scientifically formulated protein range 832 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: at designed Bydietitians dot Com, and as Zusie mentioned, you 833 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: get our free mini protein ebook with a couple of 834 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,760 Speaker 1: recipes in there as well, which will be automatically emailed 835 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: to you after you place your order.
