1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to two thousand and twenty five. A new year 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: is always a good time to take some time to 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: reflect and consider what you would like to be different 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: this time next year, specifically in the area of health 5 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: and fitness. Would you like to be a little bit 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,319 Speaker 1: more organized when it comes to your food, or would 7 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: you like to lean up just a little bit. Perhaps 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: you'd like to be a little bit fitter. Maybe you 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: have a health related goal, or you just want to 10 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: get your nutrition sorted for good.

We're recording a 22 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: little bit in advance. We can't really say you just 23 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: yet for us, because it is still December, But what 24 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: is something that you are looking forward to in twenty 25 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: twenty five this year? 26 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: Well, it's safe to say that at the end of 27 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four we are both pretty tired and hence 28 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: really keen to wrap this up. So hopefully our energy 29 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: has returned by the first of January twenty twenty five, 30 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: and I think clean that is my favorite time of year, 31 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 2: those days between Boxing Day and New Year's Day. It's 32 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: real permission to have a real break. So yes, I'm 33 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 2: hoping you all have had a lovely Christmas and that 34 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 2: you are really enjoying this space and time to map 35 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: out a healthy and happy twenty twenty five. What am 36 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: I looking forward to? I think it's just about the 37 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: fresh start, isn't it. It's the opportunity to clear out 38 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 2: and really redefine what you want to work on. I 39 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: think at the beginning of this year, I'm really looking 40 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: to focus my working in In the past few years, 41 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: I've done a lot of different things, whereas this year 42 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: I really want to lead into a couple of key 43 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: areas that I'm finding more fulfilling and probably have a 44 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: little bit better life balance, you know, being able to 45 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: really work hard some days and take a bit more 46 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: time off others, which I wasn't able to do this 47 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 2: last couple of years for a number of reasons, but 48 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: probably most excitedly, we are launching a whole new range 49 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: of products in early twenty twenty five with our company 50 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: Designed by Dietitians. It is the one year anniversary of 51 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: Designed by Dietitians. It has gone far better than we 52 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: would have ever imagined, and so I'm really again leaning 53 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: into that and really excited to bring some new products 54 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: to our women in twenty twenty five to optimize health 55 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: and well being. So like all of us, it's a 56 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: real excitement and the time to clear out and get started. 57 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: And it is now November, but by the time it 58 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: gets to januaryly and both of my fridges would have 59 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 2: been cleaned out. I would have a clean oven and 60 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: a completely clean house, which I haven't had for several weeks. 61 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 3: So I'll just be happier. 62 00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: Because every time I look in my fridge at the 63 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: my but it's just an abomination, and I'm really looking 64 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: forward to having someone come and give it a really 65 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: good clean out. So there's many reasons to be joyous 66 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: on the first of January twenty twenty five. 67 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And actually having a good 68 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: clean out it's so important because how often do you 69 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: have a little pig back there and you think, oh God, 70 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: how long has that dead cucumber been there for? You 71 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: pick up a jar of pace and you think, geez, 72 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: when was the last time I used this? So just 73 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: like the new year is a good reset, it's a 74 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: good time to reset your pantry, and it's a good 75 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: time to reset your fridge as well. So yeah, really 76 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: nice little tips there from you, Susie. But let's dive 77 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: into our word of the year because this is something 78 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: that you brought to the potty a few years ago 79 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: and we're going to continue it on this year because 80 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: we like to pick a word of the year And 81 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: thinking back, I can't remember I should have gone back 82 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: to the potty and listen last year. But I feel 83 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: like my word of the year was something around balance 84 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: because last year, you know, I had two hundred two 85 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: little kids and it was a lot like I was 86 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: working full time, my hubby was working full time, the 87 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: kids were really little. I think the word of the 88 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: year last year was balanced. Did I achieve it some days, 89 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: but probably most days. No, let's be honest. So what 90 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: is my word of the year for twenty twenty five? 91 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: It's thrive, Susie. And it's not just surviving, it's trying 92 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: to thrive. So actually being intentional with my habits, intentional 93 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: with my work, my days off, my training, my nutrition, 94 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: and really actually thriving and making some progress and not 95 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: just you know, trying to thread water and keep my 96 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: head above water and survive, actually giving it my best 97 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: crack to really make some forward momentum and forward progress 98 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: and thrive during twenty twenty five? Do you have a 99 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: word of the year that you like to share with 100 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: our listeners this year? 101 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: The one that I keep coming back to is freedom. 102 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: But it's more freedom to be able to do the 103 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: projects I want rather than feeling like this stuff I 104 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: have to do and don't want to So I'm really 105 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: keen to have that space and time to do really 106 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 2: immerse in the work. 107 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 3: That I enjoy. 108 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 2: So yeah, my word for twenty twenty five is freedom. 109 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: So yeah, let's see how we go with it. I 110 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: kind of remember my word last year, so it's not 111 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: very powerful, is it, But I definitely know that your 112 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: balance could do with some work, so hopefully, seriously, I 113 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: know she's not balanced. 114 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 3: She should hear how frisle she is. Some days I'm thinking, yeah, no, 115 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: no balance there. 116 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: I was packing orders at eleven pm at night, which 117 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, I do not complain about it, like I 118 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: love that our little company designed by dieticians is you know, 119 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: it's doing so well, so it doesn't upset me at all. 120 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, I was up at eleven PM packing orders, 121 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: and I set my alarm at five thirtieth and I'm 122 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: going to get up to the gym. And then I 123 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: woke up this morning and I was like, oh man, 124 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: but this year, twenty twenty five, it's all about thriving. 125 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: It's about finding that balance. It's about thriving. But along 126 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: with our word of the Year, we wanted to talk 127 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: about core healthy habits because January is a big time 128 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: where you know, people go on a diet, they do 129 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: a bit of a detox, they follow a really strict 130 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: gym challenge. They just they they go a bit too hard, 131 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: and let's be honest, they go too hard. They fall 132 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: off the wagon and everything's like undone by you know, 133 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: two three weeks into January, what's the research about really 134 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: strict diets and habits? So it's something about like the 135 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: major already people have fallen off the wagon within you know, 136 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: by February basically, isn't it like most people can't actually 137 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: maintain their resolutions into February, let alone for an entire year. 138 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: Well, the idea of a diet instantly conscious up images 139 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,239 Speaker 2: of restriction. So it's about punishing yourself by eliminating certain 140 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: food groups or you know, really being. 141 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: Strict with what you're eating. 142 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 2: And that's just not sustainable, which is why for us, 143 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 2: the word diet is much more about developing a regime 144 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 2: that is sustainable and includes those more indulgent foods as 145 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 2: part of it, rather than a strict program. And what 146 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: I would say is every year I do launch a 147 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 2: reset program, a thirty day reset program that you can 148 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: find on my website. But what I do is, in 149 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: that kind of stricter regime, I only put it to 150 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: five days because I think that that is if people 151 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 2: want to feel sort of virtuous and really have a 152 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 2: period of time of what they call clean eating or 153 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: stricter eating, I think five days maybe seven is reasonable. 154 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 3: Not only are you able to drop a couple of 155 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 3: fluid kilos. 156 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: In that time period, but it's not creating that unachievable, 157 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 2: unsustainable model of weeks at a time of restrictive eating. 158 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: So I think it's more how you approach it, and 159 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,239 Speaker 2: if you do want or have that desire to focus 160 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: on something strict, you know, at most five maybe seven 161 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: days is reasonable because life gets in the way. We 162 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: can't most of us can't go away on a retreat 163 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: indefinitely and just eat this clean, pure diet forever. It 164 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: has to be able to be integrated into day to 165 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: day life. So I think that's what I would encourage 166 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: people to do. If you are feeling a bit yuck, 167 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: you have overeaten, you're feeling a bit bloated, sure do 168 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 2: a sort of healthier, cleaner meal plan, but just do 169 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: it for a shorter period of time, rather than expecting 170 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 2: yourself to commit to thirty days of completely clean, pure eating, 171 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: because it's just not achievable and we just set ourselves 172 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: up for failure. And I think that the other thing 173 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: with that Leanne's Resolutions, people will make twenty like it's 174 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: too much. 175 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: Our life is too busy, you know, to start. 176 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 2: With one or two small things and bill is a 177 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: much more powerful way to approach it. So if you 178 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: got twelve months, even if you work on one habit 179 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: at a time, at the end of twelve months, that's 180 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: significant when you look at the change over time. So 181 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: really give yourself that space and time to make sustainable change. 182 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: And if you do want to embark on something more intensive, 183 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: a week max is the time of allocation. 184 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: I'll give it, yeah, and really thinking about what are 185 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: my habits and intentions just for January. Just start with January, 186 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: because we know that the research shows is most people 187 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: don't make it past January with they're healthy eating anyway. 188 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: So don't set yourself up for twelve months, which is 189 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: really overwhelming. Actually, just focus on January and think about 190 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: these core healthy habits. The top three that I go 191 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: through consistently with nearly every kind of mine is planning 192 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: ahead with your meals, because if you're not planning ahead 193 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: with your meals, you're going to get to the point 194 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: where you're so hungry, you're opening the fridge or the pantry, 195 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: you're rating it, you're eating all of the snacks, and 196 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: then you've oversnacked and then you don't even want lunch 197 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: or dinner. Because you've overetten on all the snacks. So 198 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: you have to have some level of planning that goes 199 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: into your nutrition. It might be meal prepping all of 200 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: your meals. It might just be chopping up your veggies 201 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: and roasting them so it's easy enough to add some 202 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: extra veggies into dinner. It might just be pre chopping 203 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: and marinating some chicken so you can throw them into 204 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: a healthy sturf ry for dinner. You've got a plan 205 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: ahead with your nutrition and you have to have a 206 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: rough idea of what your meals are going to be 207 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: and your snacks on a day to day basis. The 208 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: other one is vegetables. We think we eat enough, but 209 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: the reality is that ninety five percent of Australians don't. 210 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: We eat vegetables. Yes, I'm not saying that we don't, 211 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: but we don't need enough. We need five plus serves 212 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: of vegetables or salads every day. And a serving of 213 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: vegetables or salads is a cup of salad or half 214 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: a cup of cook vegetables. So unless you're going to 215 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: eat five cups of salad at your dinner, and let's 216 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: be honest, the majority of us, aren't we lucky if 217 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: we get one to two cups on your plate. You 218 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: can't get in at dinner, so you have to aim 219 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: for a really good bulk at lunch. And some veggies 220 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: either in breakfast or with your snacks as well, some 221 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: veggie sticks and dip, you know, making some let us 222 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: roll ups or something like that, or adding a bit 223 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: of spinach into your smoothie with a bit of design 224 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: by dietitians. Protein powder. You've got to find a way again, 225 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: plan ahead, get that vegetable vulk in because not only 226 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: is it super low calorie, so it'll help with fat 227 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: loss and keeping you full of for longer. There's also fiber, 228 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: there's nutrients, there's vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, polyphenols. All of our 229 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: vegetables and salads have really good quality nutrients in there 230 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: as well. So if you're not getting in the bulk 231 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: that you should, you're not going to thrive. My word 232 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: of the year in January or in twenty twenty five, 233 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: and the other big one is it's alcohol. We are 234 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: conditioned as a country in Australia. Like I've had so 235 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: many clients that have really limited their alcohol intake in 236 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: December and their friends and family have been like, what's 237 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: wrong with you? Why aren't you drinking? Are you pregnant? 238 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: And it's like you're the odd one out if you're 239 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: not drinking, Like we have such an ingrained culture that 240 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: everybody drinks an obsessive amount of alcohol here that you're 241 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: honestly the odd one out if you don't drink. So 242 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: really make it a core focus this year to pull 243 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: back on alcohol. Make it a special occasion thing only 244 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: if you love it. If you don't, get rid of it, 245 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: because alcohol is not actually good for you. It's a 246 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: toxin for the body. So if you don't, I don't 247 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: love it. Like I sometimes have clients who go, oh, 248 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: I had a drink because everybody else was having a drink. 249 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: Ll you know, I kind of felt like it, but 250 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: I didn't really like it, but I drank it anyway. Really, 251 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: if it's not something that you love, get rid of 252 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: it because it's not actually serving you from a hals 253 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: or from a nutritional perspective. So be very very mindful 254 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: of the amount of alcohol that you have, particularly in January, 255 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: but also throughout twenty twenty five. Really make it the 256 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: year to be mindful and intentional. If you are going 257 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: to have some make sure it's something that you love, 258 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: and make sure it's a very special occasion type of thing. 259 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: So they're the three kind of core healthy habits that 260 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: I like to focus on with clients. But the other 261 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: thing I will say is that January is a great 262 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: time to book in with a dietician because there's so 263 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: much noise and confusing and conflicting advice on social media 264 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: in particular, that clients are so confused, they're overwhelmed. And 265 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: if you're just going to do a stricter art, you're 266 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: going to lose a couple of kilos, you're going to 267 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: sign up to the gym challenge, it's all going to 268 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: come back again because those things aren't actually sustainable. So 269 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: build some core, foundational healthy habits that are going to 270 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: work for you and your family long term. So if 271 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: you're going to lose a couple of healers in January, 272 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: it's actually going to stick and it's going to stay 273 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: off and not come back on again. So both Susie 274 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: and I offer coaching, So if you'd like to get 275 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: in touch with us, jump on our websites. Mind's leannwardnutrition 276 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: dot Com and Susie's asusiborow dot com and just inquire 277 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: and just sort of see if it's something that might 278 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: work for you. If you've got private health you can 279 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: claim some dieteticgrevates as well. If not, seek out another 280 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: dietician or somebody to keep you accountable this time of year, 281 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: because I think that we all need a level of 282 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: accountability because we're just busy, and if we're not really 283 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: onto it every single day, we'll last a couple of days, 284 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, and we'll be back falling off 285 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: the wagon again, and before you know what, you're healthy 286 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: eating goals throughout the year, and it's not even February yet. 287 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 4: True. 288 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 3: I think a couple I'd like to add is if you. 289 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 2: Can learn the art of compensation, because I think there's 290 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: a belief that you have to always be strict with 291 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 2: your food no matter what. So even if you're out 292 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 2: for dinner, you should be making healthier choices, or if 293 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 2: it's a birth you should feel guilty. 294 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 3: About the cake, which is not the message. The messages 295 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 3: there will. 296 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 2: Always be times that we over consume calories as humans, 297 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 2: because high calorie food can be celebratory, it can taste great. 298 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with including it occasionally, But what we 299 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: don't do is compensate when we've had it. So we 300 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: go out for dinner and have an indulgent takeaway or 301 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 2: dessert or a few drinks, and then we wake up 302 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 2: at seven am and eat breakfast, hungry or not. So 303 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 2: I think if you can factor in when you do 304 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: have more indulgent periods of eating to compensate with lighter 305 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 2: meals or an increased fasting window, that is a skill 306 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: that will hold you for your entire life. And I 307 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: also think factoring in foods you like regularly will help 308 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: to get rid of the diet cycle. So rather than 309 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 2: think that you should never have chocolate, or never have 310 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 2: a glass of wine, or avoid avoid avoid, actually factoring 311 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 2: that INNI in controlled amounts, whether it's a treat once 312 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: a day or a couple of more indulgent meals, will 313 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 2: be ultimately what creates a balance and a sustainable model 314 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 2: of eating for you. 315 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 3: And I would encourage people to do. 316 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 2: That rather than what I see with my client, since 317 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: they try and be extra good and not have any 318 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: treats and for what, it's not like you get to 319 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 2: the end of the road and you get extra points 320 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: or extra kilos loss because you're stricter. It doesn't work 321 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 2: that way. So I think factoring in foods you're enjoying 322 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 2: controlled amounts and learning to eat indulghip foods without overeating 323 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 2: them is an important part of developing a sustainable model 324 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: for weight loss but also healthy eating all term. 325 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. 326 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 3: All right, Lynne, Well a little bit. 327 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: Moving on now to the psychology of behavioral change and motivation, 328 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: And what I would like to start with is my 329 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: background is in psychology. I've got an undergraduate in psychology 330 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: as well as a postgraduate in coaching psychology, so I'm 331 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 2: certainly I'm not a registered psychologist, but I certainly come 332 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: with a fair lack of training in this space. And 333 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 2: of course Leanne works primarily in a coaching capacity with 334 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: her women, so we're very skilled with behavioral change and 335 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 2: are comfortable talking about it. But what we've spoken about 336 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: motivation several times and talked about one of the key 337 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 2: things to motivation is action propels and sustains motivation. So 338 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 2: the best thing we can all do a feeling unmotivated 339 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: is actually do something positive. But a concept I wanted 340 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: to discuss today which I think is an opportune time 341 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 2: given where at the brand new start of a year 342 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: and people listening maybe sort of looking for that little 343 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: golden egg of information, is that it's safe to say 344 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: that if you're carrying a significant amount of weight and 345 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: or are not getting sustainable change and constantly finding yourself 346 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: on a cycle of dieting or getting frustrated that your 347 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 2: weight's increasing, or not being able to maintain an exercise program, 348 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: it's safe to say that your underlying habits need to change. 349 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: And one of the biggest differences that I see between 350 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 2: my clients who do incredibly well, which is I won't 351 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: lie to you, most of them do pretty well. But 352 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: when I do have a client who is sort of 353 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: holding themselves back, it's because they've come to see a 354 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: dietician because they've thought they've thrown some money at the 355 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 2: problem so it will work, but they're not actually prepared 356 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 2: to make the changes. So what I want you to 357 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 2: be considering today on January first, twenty twenty five, is 358 00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: that if you don't get the results you're looking for, 359 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 2: or and you have a perception you're eating well and exercising, 360 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 2: or your weight continues to increase, or you may have 361 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: started oz in Peak or Manjarro and still not really 362 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: getting significant weight loss. The harsh reality leanne is is 363 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 2: that something you're doing is not taking you to the 364 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 2: next level. So you might think that you're doing the 365 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: right thing. But this is where a health professional, a coach, 366 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 2: a dietician can come in really handy, because at some 367 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 2: point in time in the change cycle, it becomes my 368 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 2: job to tell a client when they're overindulging, when they're 369 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 2: eating too much, when they're using food as a crutch 370 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: and eating when they're. 371 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 3: Not hungry, when they are. 372 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 2: Psychologically compensating with exercise and overeating, when they're being a 373 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 2: little bit lazy, and when they're using excuses. 374 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 3: Now, they're never overly. 375 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: Nice conversations to have, because if I get to that point, 376 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 2: it's safe to say my client's and a little bit 377 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 2: of denial, and they don't want to hear it because 378 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: otherwise they would have made the changes. But it's a 379 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: good time of year to get brutally honest with yourself. 380 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 2: And the truth is, if you're not losing weight, you're 381 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 2: either eating too much, you're treating yourself too much, or 382 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: you're exercising, but you're not actually efficiently burning extra calories. 383 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: And I see it all the time where I've got yet, 384 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 2: but I did my steps, or I'm trying hard, but 385 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 2: they're actually not taking it to the next level and 386 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 2: really doing what they need to do to take things 387 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 2: to the next level. 388 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 3: And that's why they're getting okay results. 389 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: They may not be gaining they might be losing half 390 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: a kilo every two weeks, but they're not getting those 391 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 2: one to two kilo losses a week, and they're not 392 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 2: getting that consistent significant loss over time. So I think 393 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 2: it's time to get brutally honest with yourself and to say, 394 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 2: am I someone who eats too much? Am I someone 395 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: who treats myself too much? Am I maintaining rather than 396 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,239 Speaker 2: training when I exercise? And what do I need to do? 397 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 3: If I have the. 398 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: Vision of significantly reducing my weight or my fitness and 399 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: changing my life, I'm going to have to make some changes. 400 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: And I think sometimes we're not always prepared to do that. 401 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 2: And in many cases, LEA and it's our job to 402 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 2: make it apparent that that client is, you know, maybe 403 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 2: just eating too much, eating when they're not hungry, not 404 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 2: exercising efficiently. 405 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 3: So it's brutal honesty is my first thing. 406 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 2: What do you need to actually be really honest with 407 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 2: yourself about rather than using distraction and paying a personal 408 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 2: trainer or paying a diction but actually not prepared to 409 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 2: make the changes, which links into the power of accountability, 410 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 2: because accountability isn't just about sending someone your weight each week. 411 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 2: It's about having someone give feedback on those variables. So 412 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 2: part of a coaching model of change for us to 413 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: do our job, it's for our clients to bring data 414 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: to us and it's for us to then give feedback 415 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: to come to a mutually acceptable agreement on what's going 416 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 2: to be required to move forward. And that's where having 417 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 2: someone to check your food diaries, to check in with 418 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 2: with your choices at the grocery store, to ask why 419 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 2: you made that choice, why you were eating out, is 420 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: a really good way to be able to reset your baseline, 421 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 2: have someone feedback to you in an honest way what's 422 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 2: actually going on, and you being open to make those changes. 423 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 2: And certainly if I've got more rigid personalities or very 424 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 2: strong women, that can be very difficult to hear because 425 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 2: in your life you're very used to making the decisions 426 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 2: being right at home knowing what's best for you. So 427 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 2: it can be very confronting to have someone come in 428 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: and say, actually, were you hungry when you had that? 429 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 2: Or could you have gone for a walk and you 430 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: chose to stay on the couch, And it can be 431 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 2: a little bit confronting, but the best place to be 432 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: is an openness to acknowledge what you're doing is not 433 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: working because my interest is only ever taking my clients 434 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 2: to that next level where they claim to want to go. 435 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 3: It's not a personal attack, it's. 436 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 2: More developing a regime and a model that's sustainable for 437 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: that client. So that is where the accountability comes in. 438 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 2: Really really handy to actually have someone put that mirror 439 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 2: up to you and your behavior and be questioning it, 440 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 2: which can be very confronting, but long term be the 441 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 2: key that transforms you from where you are now to 442 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 2: where you want to go. And then, like I always say, 443 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 2: leanne when in doubt, the best thing you can do 444 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 2: is take some action. So here we are sitting first 445 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: of jan Inevitably, you probably haven't moved as much as 446 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 2: you should have. You probably drunk a bit too much, 447 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 2: probably eating a bit too much, as we all have. 448 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 2: The best thing you can do today is start, because 449 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 2: what I also find is people very keen to delay. 450 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 2: I'm going to start next week, I'm going to start Monday. 451 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 2: I'm going to start when the kids go back to school, 452 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: and we just lose so much time. There's never a 453 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 2: perfect time life. Modern life is so busy, there's never 454 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 2: a perfect time. We're always too busy. There's always stuff on, 455 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 2: there's always celebrations. So the best thing you can do 456 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 2: is start today, Go for a walk, make a healthy 457 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 2: meal choice. We're not saying it has to be perfect, 458 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 2: it just has to be consistent, and there is nothing 459 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 2: nothing to say you can't start now even if you're 460 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 2: on holidays, because you actually have more space and time 461 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 2: to be able to do the things you need to do. 462 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 2: When real life is back and we're at work, we 463 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 2: often do have limitations on our time. 464 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 3: So there my key points. 465 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 2: It's about identifying motivation, but really getting brutally honest with self, 466 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: looking at ways for accountability, to get that feedback in 467 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 2: an evidence based way, and remaining action focused every single 468 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: day from now, rather than waiting for the perfect time 469 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 2: to get going. 470 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: And I really liked how you were talking about brutal 471 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: honesty because I've got the perfect example, which funnily enough 472 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: popped up on Facebook today about brutal honesty and accountability 473 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: and action. And I'm part of a Brisbane moum's Facebook 474 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: group essentially, and everyone shares like mom type of stuff 475 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: and tips and tricks, and everybody asked for help, etc. 476 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: And a lady posted this morning actually and she was like, Mums, 477 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: I need some brutal honesty. I don't know what I'm 478 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: doing wrong. She's like, I eat clean all the time, 479 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: really healthy. I've been trying so hard for months. I 480 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: have one cheat day a week, but my weight is 481 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: not budging. And she's like, I started some weight loss 482 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: medication three weeks ago. I literally haven't even lost a 483 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: couple of hundred grams on the scale. She's like, where 484 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: am I going wrong? And all these mums are jumping 485 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: in and they're like giving some tips and tricks, And 486 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: I thought I can sum that up in basically just 487 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: a couple of sentences, because being brutally honest and sometimes 488 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: you can't see what's right in front of your face, 489 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: which is why having a dietician who works within a 490 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: coaching model, who's in daily contact with you can be 491 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: so powerful because one cheat day week is the first 492 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: thing that I'll say, because I've seen you know, I've 493 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: seen people do cheat days two three, fourth, you know, 494 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: thousand calories, Like you can consume a couple of thousand 495 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: calories in a whole cheat day, So that in itself 496 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: is a huge thing that I would just get rid of, 497 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: Like if you want to have a lovely meal out, absolutely, 498 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: but it's not an entire cheat day because honestly, what 499 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: happens is the cheat day turns into the cheap weekend, 500 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: which is like two three days off track from like 501 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: Friday afternoon to Sunday night, and then you've only really 502 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: been on track for four and a half days and 503 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: you've been off track for the other three. So a 504 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: cheap day in itself is a whole other issue. But 505 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: what I really find is probably the crux of it 506 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: is I eat healthy, you know, I eat really clean, 507 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: because healthy eating doesn't translate to fat loss. It's all 508 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: about the numbers. Unfortunately, with fat loss, it is about 509 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: the numbers. So I think she was being brutally honest 510 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: in the fact that she was like, I'm trying really hard. 511 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: I don't know where I'm going wrong. But brutal honesty, 512 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: like what are you actually eating on that cheat day? 513 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: How much are you actually moving each day? When it 514 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: comes to clean eating, you might be eating well, but 515 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: are you snacking all day long? Are you not building 516 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: balanced meals? You mon't be making healthy choices, but are 517 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: you skipping lunch and over eating the snacks. You're having 518 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: a massive lunch and then having a massive dinner as well, 519 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: even if it's healthy, clean food, are the portions just 520 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: not right for you? So there's brutal honesty, Then there's accountability. 521 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: Then there's the action that you talked about, But there's 522 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: also getting that personalized advice to actually find where you're 523 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: going wrong. And probably the best place to post isn't 524 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,959 Speaker 1: the mum's Facebook group to get good feedback and advice, 525 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: because then when Mum's posting about try this detox, Mum's like, 526 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: I'm about to start at a week challenge, join my challenge, 527 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: And I just thought, you know what, There's so much 528 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: I can say here, but I can't because that poor 529 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: lady would be so overwhelmed with all of these women 530 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: telling her to do this challenge and this diet and 531 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: check your carbs and go kido and do this detox 532 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: and have you seen this new diet and try this 533 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: medication that it's just so overwhelming and we have to 534 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: get that personalized level of advice for us. But I 535 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: also think when we're talking about brutal honesty, is what 536 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: are we giving ourselves permission to do? And I've had 537 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: quite a few clients that will skip meals in order 538 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: to basically give themselves permission to overeat later on. So 539 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: that's another big one that I've pulled up quite a 540 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: few of my ladies and they are trying so hard 541 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: and they're doing so so well. But when you've got 542 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: decades of ingrain behavior where you have skip meals in 543 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 1: order to give yourself psychological permission to have a bit 544 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: of a binge on chocolate later on, that's decades of 545 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: ingrained behavior. So again, that accountability is so key for 546 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: me to say to my client, you shouldn't have skipped lunch. 547 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: You know that, you know what happens is that you're 548 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: just gonna over eat later on if you're skipping a 549 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: proper meal. And sometimes we just need to hear it 550 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: because it's right in front of our face. We know 551 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: we shouldn't be doing it. We know what it's going 552 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: to lead to later on, but we just need that. 553 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: I guess that person in our corner saying, Hey, I 554 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: need you to eat a really well balanced lunch. Yes, 555 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: I still need you to add the carbohydrate serve to dinner, 556 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: even if you overdid it in the afternoon. I still 557 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: need you to balance dinner. You don't need to go light, 558 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: you don't need to skip it. Sometimes we just need 559 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: to hear these like reaffirming messages from someone else in 560 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: our corner as well. So I do think that the 561 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: key piece for most people, particularly with the amount of 562 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: overwhelming information out there lately, is the accountability piece. So 563 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: get some accountability. Is it a dietitian? Are you going 564 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: to come and work in zoosing my coaching models? Are 565 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: you going to go see another dietitian? Are you going 566 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: to be accountable to your personal trainer? Is it your 567 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: loved one who's going to keep your accountable? But be 568 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: very careful there, because so many times we have you know, 569 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: partners and loved ones saying I'll hold you accountable and 570 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: let's be honest, let's be brutally honest. It lasts a 571 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks and you're back at square one. So 572 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: make sure that accountability body is somebody that's actually trained 573 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: to give you brutal, honest feedback and feedback that is 574 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: personalized to you to actually positively influence your journey long term. 575 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: So there's nothing wrong with having an accountability Boddy, but 576 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: you actually need to make sure they're giving you proper 577 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: feedback that's going to positively influence your journey long term. True. 578 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 2: And I just want to actually make a comment about 579 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 2: personal trainers and accountability because I've got personal trainer. They 580 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 2: can be fantastic to check exercise and even on surface 581 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 2: level to check a food diary, but in most cases 582 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 2: they are not qualified to be giving prescriptive nutrition advice. Now, literally, 583 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: any chain of gyms that you go to at the 584 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 2: start of a new year has a diet program. In 585 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 2: some cases they may have a dietician, and many more 586 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 2: they don't. And then you have a personal trainer perusing 587 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 2: your diet based on what their understanding is of what 588 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 2: macro should be. And I cannot tell you how many 589 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: times I've seen clients on way too low carbohydrate load 590 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 2: or way too much protein because the personal trainer has 591 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: given diet advice and they should not be so if 592 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 2: you have joined a gym or planning to, I would 593 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 2: be very mindful of where you're getting the dietary advice 594 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 2: from their hearts in the right place. Ultimately, they'll be 595 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 2: talking about what works for them, or what their training 596 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 2: is or what their understanding is. But it is not 597 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 2: specific for women, particularly women who have hormonal issues like 598 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: intern resistance going through perimenopause. It is a complex area 599 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 2: of nutrition and personal trainers should not be giving that 600 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 2: specific dietary advice. So they can facilitate they might have 601 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 2: to check a diary, but in general, you need to 602 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 2: see a dietitian if you're going through any of those 603 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 2: time periods or hormonual changes or in general to get 604 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 2: a model that is evidence based and right for you, 605 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 2: rather than a one size fix or model at the 606 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: gym sort of se six week reset progo or whatever 607 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 2: they're spreaking at that point in time. 608 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: And I lost to say, when we're talking about accountability 609 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: and getting an expert in your corner, dietitians are wonderful 610 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: because we're trained in evidence based practice. We go through many, 611 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: many years of university and supervised study. But not all 612 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,959 Speaker 1: dietitians are fat loss experts. We're very trained in how 613 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: to treat complex clinical conditions. We're very well trained in 614 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: how to get clients to eat well. But most dieticians 615 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: aren't actually an expert in fat loss science. So really 616 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: seek out a dietitian who is an expert in fat loss. 617 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: Don't just go to a dietitian say hey, I want 618 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: to lose body fight, I want to lose weight, and 619 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: think that they're going to be a great person to 620 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: help you. So, of course Susie and I specialize in 621 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: fat loss science, but also I have a whole team 622 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: of dietitians as well who work online virtually.

So it's that's 630 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: LeAnn Wood Nutrition Virtual. 631 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 4: Clinic as well, or it's easy moving on to our 632 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 4: supermarket product section this week and we are going to 633 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,479 Speaker 4: be talking about healthy treats, specifically things that our clients 634 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 4: like to eat. 635 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: A lot of, but as dietitians, we don't really love 636 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,959 Speaker 1: that much. And one of those examples is the how 637 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: do you pronounce it? 638 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 3: Is it? 639 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: No shoe? Noah, no shoe, no shoe, no shoe, no shoe. 640 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: Peanut caramel nougat bar. I have a lot of clients 641 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: eating these because they're chocolate, they're sweet. They love them, 642 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: but they're also in that mindset where there's so much 643 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: healthier for me. So I can eat them every single day, 644 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: or I can eat them quite regularly. But the reality 645 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: is that most bars on the market are ultra process foods. 646 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: And there's something that Susie and I both recommend in 647 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: a pin right, like if you're traveling, if you're, you know, 648 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: doing a long commute in the car, if you're between meetings, 649 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,959 Speaker 1: like you just there's something that you use occasionally when 650 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: you're in a pinch, not regularly. They're never something that 651 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: I would write regularly into a client's meal plan. So 652 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: let's go through the milk, chocolate, peanut and caramel nougat bar. 653 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: So ingredient wise twenty six percent peanuts, milk solids, chicken 654 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: root fiber, which you know, SUSI A terribly react to, 655 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: and most people with IBS have a super hard time 656 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: processing that. It causes tons of bloating and gas and 657 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: diarrhe and all sorts of negative side effects for a 658 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: lot of people with a sensitive bound. So I don't 659 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: love chicken root fiber, vegetable fat, sober corn fiber, polydextros sorbatol, 660 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: known GMO of erythritol, vegetable glycerine, cocoa, powder, flavors, emulsifies, salt, 661 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: apple extract, and mink fruit extract. So these are better ingredients, 662 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: but they're far down the list, Like you might go, oh, 663 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: it's sweetened with apple extract and monk's root extract, But 664 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: there's so many sweetness in there that I think, I 665 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: think it kind of it's kind of like an offset set, 666 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: like there's minimal of that actually in there, and there's 667 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: way more of that highly processed foods. There's also some 668 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: steavier and some antioxidants in there. So ingredient wise, the 669 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: only real whole food in that entire ingredient list is 670 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: peanuts and milk solids. Everything else in there is not 671 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: something that you would actually have in your like pantry 672 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: or kitchen, that you would use regularly. And that's how 673 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: we define an ultra processed food is how many ingredients 674 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: in that ingredient list are things that you would regularly 675 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: cook all bake with that you can regularly find in 676 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: your pantry or in your kitchen. And hand on my heart, 677 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: SUSI sorry, three peanuts. I don't have milk salts, but 678 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,239 Speaker 1: milk solids I would consider mostly a whole food and 679 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: cocoa powder. They're really the only things in that list. 680 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: Like I don't have chickory root fiber, I don't have 681 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: vegetable fats, I don't have sober corn fire, I don't 682 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: have polydextros, sorbaitols, vegetable glycerins. Like there's a whole bunch 683 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: of ingredients in there that I'm not actually loving when 684 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: it comes to this bar. But breaking down the nutrition 685 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: information panel, so serving size forty two gram an overly 686 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: large bar, Like in all honesty, you could finish that 687 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: in three or four bytes. Like it's not a huge bar. 688 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: So forty two grams per serving, energy wise is just 689 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: over seven hundred kilo duels, so roughly about one hundred 690 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: and seventy calories per bar, seven point nine grams of protein, 691 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: ten grams of fat, so certainly not a low fat product, 692 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: with four point six of that being saturated fat, four 693 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: point four grams of carbohydrates, so quite low carbohydrate for 694 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: a bar, with three point two grams of that being sugar. 695 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: Ten point three grams of dietary fiber. I just think 696 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: that's probably too much fiber, and it's all like that 697 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: modified fiber. It's not the great type of fiber you're 698 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: seeing in natural coal grains and legumes like it's basically 699 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: artificially type created fiber, which for people with some gut 700 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: issues and a sensitive tummy, it's not gonna sit well. 701 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: So ten point three grams of fiber in a small, 702 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: forty gram bar is flashing much in my opinion. I 703 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: would never put that much in thirtyu y is seventy 704 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: two milligrams, so quite low. Sorbatol one point five grams 705 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: glycerool one point four grams, and two grams of a 706 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: wreathed protops were a lot of sugar, alcohols and sweetness 707 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: in this type of bar, So it's essentially like masquerading 708 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: is a healthy dessert. Would you agree, Like, I think 709 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: a lot of clients are eating them because they're like, 710 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: I want something sweet. It's really delicious, but in reality, 711 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: like it's it might be slightly healthier than a chocolate bar, 712 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: but it's still an ultra process food. It's never something 713 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: you'd see me right into a meal plan. 714 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 2: It's interesting because I have a group of clients who 715 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 2: love them, and I think one of the things I'll 716 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 2: say about the range is there's a huge difference in 717 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 2: the number of calories between the different products. So the 718 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 2: ones that I've got open on my computer is the 719 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 2: double chopped Brownie Indulgent Bar, and that's just about one 720 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 2: hundred calories. So I think, first of all, if that's 721 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 2: your preference for a sort of sweeter treat, just check 722 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 2: the calories because there are differences, and I generally encourage 723 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 2: clients to stick to sort of one hundred calories or 724 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 2: less for those extra foods. I agree with you that 725 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 2: I think they're ultra processed, and I would much prefer 726 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 2: clients have, say some dark chocolate or a twisted frozen yogurt, 727 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 2: which is much more natural. I don't say no to 728 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 2: them because I agree they are recontrol a little bit 729 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 2: like the Fiber Plus or Fiber One bars, which are 730 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 2: under about one hundred calories as well. But I think 731 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 2: that yes, let's not forget they are ultra processed, and 732 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 2: I'd be saying to my client. 733 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 3: Do you really love it? 734 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 2: Because one of the things with ultra process foods is 735 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 2: you don't get the mouth feel and fullness of whole 736 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 2: foods the same way as you had Dart chocolate. 737 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 3: It's very rich, it's got a real mouthfeel. 738 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 2: As soon as you start to include all of those 739 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 2: artificial or they're not artificial, some of them natural but 740 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 2: process sugar alternatives and ingredients, is that it changes the 741 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 2: natural processing of the food in the body and you 742 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 2: won't necessarily get as much pleasure. 743 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 3: So really ask. 744 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 2: Yourself if you love it, rather than think that you're 745 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 2: eating it because it's healthier when it actually isn't. So 746 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 2: I think they sit in that gray area again with 747 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 2: my clients. If they have them and enjoy them, I 748 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 2: don't stop them. But again, it's not one thing that 749 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 2: I necessarily refer to. I'm much more likely to refer 750 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 2: to the dut chocolate or the more natural kind of 751 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 2: hundred cow treats. So yeah, check them because there is 752 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 2: vast differences in the calories. 753 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 3: They're not all one hundred calories. They differ quite a lot, 754 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 3: all right. 755 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: And then our final segment for the Potti Suzie is 756 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: a listener question which I feel like we've kind of 757 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: touched on, but a good one. It kind of ties 758 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: everything together. The listener question, which we pulled from our 759 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: Instagram social messages, is I already eat well and I exercise, 760 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,720 Speaker 1: but my weight never changes. What am I doing wrong? 761 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is it's really hard to 762 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: give advice like this when we don't know you, because, 763 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: particularly for fat loss, it has to be personalized because 764 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: just eating well will not elicit fat loss. You have 765 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,720 Speaker 1: to be in a calorie deficit. Just because you're eating well, 766 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: just because you're eating clean, just because you're eating healthy 767 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: will not automatically equal fat loss. You have to actually 768 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 1: be in a calorie deficit. So if you're eating the 769 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 1: same amount of food and you're exercising the same way 770 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: and your weight never changes, you need to do something different. 771 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: So whether you eat slightly less, whether you change up 772 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: the type of exercise, whether you get more steps in, 773 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: whether you shave off ten to fifteen percent of the 774 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: portion of each meal and bring that down slightly, whether 775 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,479 Speaker 1: you swap the ti type of protein out that you're having. 776 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: You might be having fattier cuts of meat like lamb 777 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: and sausages and that sort of thing, and swap that 778 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: out for a little bit leaner fish, or you know, 779 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: maybe a couple of vegetarian based meals a week. I 780 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: just think if nothing changes, nothing changes, Like you just 781 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: need to have a change in terms of your nutrition 782 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,919 Speaker 1: and in terms of your exercise, because if not, it's 783 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 1: going to stay the same. So just eating well won't 784 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: actually automatically eagle fat loss. So actually try to play 785 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: with the types of meals you have, play with the 786 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: portions that you're having, and maybe even reduce the snacks 787 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: down on some non exercise days and see how you 788 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,240 Speaker 1: feel there and see if that gives you the results 789 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: on the scale. But that's probably as much advice as 790 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: we can give without actually knowing your background or knowing 791 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: the specifics of what you do day to day to 792 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: actually elicit fat loss advice. 793 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for me, it's when I see diaries 794 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 2: of the same every single day, Like, no one should 795 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 2: be getting up and having breakfast at the same time 796 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 2: every day. There is no way that you are at 797 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 2: the same level of hunger on a Saturday morning at 798 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 2: six am as you would be on a Thursday morning. 799 00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 3: As exam if you've been to the gym. 800 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 2: So I see that same same every day eating time, 801 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 2: meal size, I'm like, you're not eating according to hunger, 802 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 2: you're eating on AUTOQ. So it's a really good time 803 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 2: of year to really push out meal times and really 804 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 2: check if you're actually hungry when you have your meals 805 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 2: and mix things up. You know, you should be having 806 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 2: a long class once a week and really mixing up 807 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 2: the meal timings. And I think that other main reason 808 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 2: I think most people are maintaining with their exercise and 809 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 2: not training. They're doing the same walk, the same gym workout, 810 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 2: the same time each day, and they think they're burning 811 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 2: a lot more calories than they are when the human 812 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 2: body is very, very efficient and it will burn fewer 813 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 2: and fewer calories on the same workout. So you've got 814 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 2: to mix things up and do different kinds of exercise 815 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 2: at different times of day to continually challenge the body 816 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 2: and remain in that burning phase. 817 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 3: So it's just about mixing those things up as well. 818 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: All right, well, that brings us to the end of 819 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: the nutrition catch for another week and also for a 820 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 1: fresh new year.
