1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Hi Onleanne Ward and I'm Susie Burrow and welcome to 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: the Nutrition Couch, a weekly podcast from two of Austrai's 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: leading dieticians, bringing you everything that is new in the 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: world of nutrition, diets and good food from the Nutrition Couch. 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: Today we're chatting about the trending media topic of flexible darting, 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: or you may have heard it called if it fits 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: your macros. Our client case study of the week is 8 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: about being constantly hungry while trying to lose weight. And 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: on our most popular segment, the Soupermarket Product of the Week, 10 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,959 Speaker 1: we discuss a new powdered pinut butter. And finally, one 11 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: of our listener questions has sent us scene a question 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: about probotics. Should we be taking them for general helps. 13 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: We'll give you all of the research and science behind that, 14 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: but before we jump into today's podcast, Susie, you are 15 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: always cooking up a storm in the kitchen. What have 16 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: you made for the twins this week? 17 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: I do cook quite a lot. Sometimes I'm testing different recipes. 18 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm cooking to thank people for things, or of 19 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: course to get that elusive perfect Instagram shot. 20 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 1: The issue, of. 21 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: Course, is that contrary to what you see on social media. 22 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: They don't always work out, and I actually do have 23 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 2: to throw out a fair wax. So for every great photo, 24 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: there's probably two or three dodgy ones that haven't quite 25 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: made it. But I tee what I have been perfecting, 26 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 2: and I am pretty proud of this. 27 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: I have wanted to be. 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: Able to make a muffin with a crunchy top, like 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: at a cafe for some time because whenever I make 30 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: muffins and they're not my favorite go to and not 31 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: even my kids, but they do really well on social media. 32 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: But I thought if I could perfect a crunchy top muffin, 33 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 2: I would be pretty happy. And I finally have got 34 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: the right mix and it's not complicated. It's more like 35 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: how you do a crumble. We do a little bit 36 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 2: of brown sugar with a little bit of wholemeal flour and. 37 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: Do it that way. 38 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: But I'm pretty proud of my effort. So I've been 39 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: doing the crunchy top muffins. They're coming up particularly well 40 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: this morning. I did like a breakfast bircher, but I 41 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: did it as a muffin. Now I think people will 42 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: love it because it's like a creamy oats breakfast muffin 43 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: that you could have in a bowl, almost like a cake, 44 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: but it's not my flavor profile I don't eat that. 45 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: So the other thing is a lot of the stuff 46 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: I actually don't really like that much, so that helps, 47 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: and we try and give the rest to neighbors and things. 48 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: But as I said, I also have terrible stuff up. 49 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: So like a couple of weeks ago, I had to 50 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: get a picture of a banana bread and I took 51 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: it out too early land so it was still wet 52 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: in the middle. 53 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: I knew it was, and I got the photo. 54 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: It's a great photo, but I also know the battle 55 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: wasn't completely cook crew because it was really dense and 56 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: thick because I tend to thicken them up with quite 57 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: a lot of yogurt. And I ended up taking it 58 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: to my mum's and it was literally we just chucked 59 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: it out. So that's the thing about Instagram, isn't it 60 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: Just because it looks perfect doesn't always mean that it is. 61 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 2: And for every great looking baked recipe, there's probably a 62 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: couple that are looking pretty dodgy. So I definitely spend 63 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: a lot of time in supermarkets picking up whole your 64 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: self raising flour, yogurt, and butter, which are the things 65 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: that I tend to run out of because I will 66 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: also say, I know we've got to get started. But 67 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: I always give people the option in baking of using 68 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: a sugar replace. It's not like a monk fruit or sugar. 69 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 2: But if I'm honest, I don't buy monk fruit sweet 70 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: now because I think it's really expensive, like eight dollars 71 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 2: a small bag, and I really try and make things affordable. 72 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: So I give people the option, but I myself just 73 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: cook a little bit of sugar because I don't want 74 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: to spend eight dollars plus on making a muffin or 75 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: a banana bread recipe. So I like to give people 76 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: with that option because otherwise it can be really quite expensive. 77 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: All about healthy baking, you can absolutely yeah, And you 78 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: know me, I don't tend to bake too much, so 79 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: I always love seeing your creations on social media. 80 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 2: Mon't be long there. We're going to be having those 81 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 2: pures coming up soon. 82 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. Get got to get me one of those Thermo 83 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: mixers or something like that. I think, so I can 84 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: make up some baby food. 85 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: It makes it really easy one hundred percent. You can 86 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: just freeze it all up and off you go, so 87 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: you never is motivated. I think when the kids are 88 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: about six months. By the time it gets to twelve 89 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: and eighteen months and you're fully back at work, you 90 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: just don't care anymore. But go with it. At six months, 91 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: I agree, invest in the thermin. 92 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: Awesome well, Susie. This week in the media, we're chatting 93 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: about flexible darting. So it's I I FYM or if 94 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: it fits your macros. What have you heard about this? 95 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: I know it's big within sort of the bodybuilder and 96 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: fitness community. A lot of the online coaches who you 97 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: know work with clients for fat loss are talking about 98 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: flexible dieting. Essentially, it's just a way of I think 99 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: counting or tracking your macros and making them fit. Rather 100 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: than I guess calorie counting. It's more tracking the number 101 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: of macro nutrients you're having. And for me, you know, 102 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: I've sort of dabbled with a little bit in the past. 103 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: If I'm going through a fat loss block myself, I 104 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: will of course track, but I'll track calories and macros 105 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: because we know that if the goal is fat loss, 106 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: you absolutely have to be in a calorie deficit. And 107 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: I think macro nutrients, particularly from a body composition perspective matter, 108 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: you know, you don't want too many carbohydrates. You need 109 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: enough fat, particularly for things like you know, cellular health 110 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: and hairskin and nails and that sort of thing, and 111 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: even just women's reproductive organs how they work. We need 112 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: some fat in our diet at a minimum of twenty percent. 113 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: And I think protein, of course, is especially important when 114 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: we're trying to aim to you know, gain some lean 115 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: muscle mass or maintain our muscle mass. So I think 116 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: macro nutrients are absolutely important. But how do you feel 117 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: about just the concept of flexible dieting. 118 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: When it comes to me, I think this is what 119 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 2: I would call a convenient diet theory for you. So 120 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: it's really using a proposed model of eating to suggest 121 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: that you can very easily eat high calorie or what 122 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: we call sugary processed foods and still achieve your dietary goals. 123 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 2: So if I'm putting it into context, and I wasn't 124 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 2: overly clear about it either, because I think it just 125 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: to me doesn't fit at all flexible, But then dieting, 126 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 2: I'm just not really quite clear. But the best way 127 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 2: I can think to describe it is that if you 128 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: have a goal of fat loss and you're sticking to 129 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 2: a certain calorie load or macronutrient loads. So say you 130 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 2: wanted to reduce your carbohydrate down to forty percent of intake, 131 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 2: So if you wanted to still have a chocolate bar 132 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: at lunch time, the way you would be able to 133 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 2: do that is if you made sure you were getting 134 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: your salad and vegetables that didn't affect your macros, and 135 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: then a piece of lean protein, and then potentially you 136 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: could get a little bit of well, I guess you 137 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 2: get the carbohydrate from the mars bar and a little 138 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: bit of fat from that, so you were keeping all 139 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: the other components of that meal low in fat and light, 140 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 2: so it would allow you to have a mars bar 141 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 2: as part of your diet. Now, I think philosophically it 142 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: sounds really nice because it means you take away from 143 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: that idea that there's good and bad foods. In that model, 144 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: it's about choosing the foods you want to eat, but 145 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: still achieving your dietary goals. But I am yet to 146 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: see it really work in practice. And my understanding is 147 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 2: that where it comes up most of all these people 148 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 2: who are perhaps doing physique changing or specifically bodybuilding, where 149 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 2: they have a much wider range of calories and macros 150 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 2: that they can fill, and so it doesn't matter if 151 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 2: they eat a packet of lollies because their carbohydrate intake 152 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 2: or requirements are very high, Whereas I really struggle to 153 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: see how it could fit for my clients who are 154 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 2: small people who don't have a lot of calories to 155 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 2: play with. And I can tell you straight away that 156 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: if they would doing flexible dieting and still including a 157 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: high fat, high sugar food most days, they wouldn't achieve 158 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: their diet your goals because they just don't have that 159 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: much room to move calorie wise. So for me, it 160 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: fits to a much larger frame person who has a 161 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: lot more energy and calories to burn as opposed to 162 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: the clients that I work with. 163 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: And I think that's a really important point because a 164 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: lot of the bodybuilders and the finness coaches out there 165 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: who promote this, and I think the funniest thing is 166 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: that people the first thing and I googled, you know, 167 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: if it fits your macros? And the first website that 168 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: popped up was the IFYM website, And the first thing, 169 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: it's said in big bold letters, was this is not 170 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: a diet. Well, if you're weighing and tracking your food 171 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: every day, that's a diet. So I think it is 172 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: a type of diet. But I think people get away 173 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: with it saying, you know, you can eat mam as 174 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: well as you can eat donut. You can eat whatever 175 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: you want as long as it fits into your macro nutrients. 176 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: But I think you make an important point that a 177 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: lot of the proponents of this diet, and a lot 178 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: of people who are promoting it, have super high requirements. 179 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: So if you're a bodybuilder, you're doing twenty twenty five 180 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: thousand steps a day, you're doing seven workouts a week, 181 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: you're in three thousand plus calories. Yeah, you're gonna have 182 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: a lot more calories to play with than the average 183 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: person who sits at a desk shop might get three 184 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: or four workouts in a week, but their deficit in 185 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: terms of fat loss is more around that fifteen sixteen 186 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: hundred calorie mark. You just don't have the luxury or 187 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: flexibility of having a lot of these higher calorie processed foods. 188 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: So I do think you're right it it matches a 189 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: certain client tell more than it's something that fits everybody. 190 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: But also I think for a lot of people it's 191 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: it's kind of just an excuse to eat processed foods. 192 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: And as you said, you know, trying to eat three 193 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: thousand plus calories specifically focusing in whole foods is actually 194 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: really hard to do. Like there is people who you know, 195 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: they will eat a bag of lollies just to get 196 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: their carbs and their sugars in. They will just add 197 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: you know, a mass bar on top of their porridge 198 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: in the morning just to get their carbohydrates right up there. 199 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: After a training session, they're taking down bulk protein powders 200 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: because their protein requirements are like one hundred and eighty 201 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: grams a day, and good luck to you try to 202 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: eat that in you know, whole foods, there's a lot 203 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: of protein. So I think for a lot of people, yeah, 204 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: it is you kind of do end up adding a 205 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 1: lot more processed foods in. And then clients that I've 206 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: worked in the past who come into my coaching services, 207 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: obviously this isn't something that I recommend, but they've tried 208 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: this before and they say, I don't want to do 209 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: it again because I you know, the tracking and the 210 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: weighing and that sort of thing just drives me insane. 211 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: And I get to the end of the night and 212 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: I've got like, say, only two hundred calories left. I'm starving. 213 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: I've got no carbohydrates left because I ate it all lunchtime. 214 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: And what am I supposed to do with Like, you know, 215 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: I've got to eat sixty grams of protein or something, 216 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: and I've got no fat left and no carbs left. 217 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: So I think unless you're really planning out your day 218 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: and you kind of know what you're gonna have for dinner, 219 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: you can get very stuck in terms of using all 220 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: of those you know, with the flexible darting, it's like 221 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: I want to go have a burger in some fries 222 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: for lunch. Okay, that's cool. It might fit your macros now, 223 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: But by the time you get to dinner, you've got 224 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: no fat left, You've got barely new carbohydrates left. You've 225 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: got to eat a hell of a lot of protein 226 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: for dinner on very very low calories. So what are 227 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: you going to have a piece of steam fish and 228 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: two green beans. I think it's just it's not as flexible, 229 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: I think, as what people really think it is. And 230 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: The other thing is that most people don't consider a 231 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: fiber or a macro nutrient targets, So I think a 232 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: lot of people aren't actually tracking their fiber intake et, 233 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: which we know for general health and particularly gut health 234 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: is so incredibly important. So I think that a lot 235 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: of people are going, yeah, I'll have a burger and 236 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: rice for lunch, and I'll just have some steamfish for 237 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: dinner and a piece of broccoli. But they're not getting 238 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: anywhere near the required amounts of fiber or that diversity 239 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: of fruits and ven every day as well. And you know, 240 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: they're eating a bag of lollies, whereas you could have 241 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,599 Speaker 1: a nice fruit salad and you're going to get a 242 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: lot more nutrients in from the fruit salad, but probably 243 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: a similar amount of carbs and sugar in there. So 244 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: I do think there are some negatives to it. It 245 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: definitely does fit a particular type of clientele, as you said, 246 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: larger bodied, higher requirements, super super active, and also those 247 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: online calculators and the people that tend to set your 248 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: macro nutrient targets. It's not really something that's really based 249 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: on I guess research and science, and probably should be 250 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: adjusted quite regularly as people's weight comes down or their 251 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: training sort of differs as well. But a lot of 252 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: people will set their macros at the beginning and say, 253 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: you know, I want to lose ten to fifteen kilos 254 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: and that never changes the entire way through. Then they 255 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: hit a plateau and they wonder why. 256 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 2: I really don't like my clients checking their macros. 257 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: Now. 258 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 2: Indeed, when I develop a meal plan, I've calculated the macros. 259 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: But what I find And I had a client just 260 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 2: on the weekend doing this, so she started to count herself, 261 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: so she was trying to understand what I was doing 262 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: so she could adjust based on things she wanted to eat. 263 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 2: And I think straight away this lends itself to psychological 264 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 2: management of food intake as opposed to responding to natural 265 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 2: hunger and fullness signals, because you're mentally calculating and eating 266 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 2: along that line, as opposed to what your body's telling you. 267 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: And the other. 268 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: Issue I have with it is that there's gross inaccuracies 269 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: in macro nutrient and calorie composition tables. So even though 270 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 2: it might look like it is perfect and it's five 271 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: grams of carbohydrate here, as you and I both know, 272 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: there's a lot of inconsistencies in the databases. It's not 273 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 2: always completely accurate. So when people start to count their 274 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 2: macros to within a gram of recommendations, it's not a 275 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 2: healthy way of doing it. It's really in a way 276 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 2: promoting disordered eating because you're saying, I had an extra 277 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: gram of carbohydrate here, you know I need to too 278 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 2: from there, and then you might be deducting it on 279 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: a vegetable which probably doesn't really even count anyway. So 280 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 2: you're starting to isolate nutrition down into individual foods and macros, 281 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 2: when that's not really how we eat. We eat a 282 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: diet of food and the overall balance comes from the 283 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: meal patterns and the meal balance. So I think it's 284 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 2: trying to break down a behavioral pattern of eating into numbers, 285 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: and for me, it just doesn't work. And I find 286 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: it makes people really confuse. They don't necessarily understand the 287 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 2: science in the degree of being able to balance well, 288 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: and most importantly, they're not listening to their bodies anymore. 289 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 2: So I am really not a fan of macro nutrient counting, 290 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 2: even though I do do it with for my clients myself, 291 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: And the way I would describe it is when you 292 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 2: go to the accountant. I don't want the account to 293 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 2: tell me how to calculate my baths. 294 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: I want him to do it. 295 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 2: So when I see a dietitian, I want the dietitian 296 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 2: to get the balance right for me, as opposed to 297 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 2: start to do it yourself, because you never do it 298 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 2: as well as the accountant or the dietitian because you're 299 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: not factoring in all those other very so the only 300 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: people and I have seen it, I guess you're describing 301 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 2: with bodybuilders, they might add lollies and things. The only 302 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 2: time I've ever had to do that is with very 303 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: young NURL players early in their career, where they might 304 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: be a winger who weighs eighty kilos and they are 305 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 2: six foot two and they're doing two or three training 306 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 2: sessions a day. And those people I might send to McDonald's. 307 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 2: You know that you would never publicly state because that's 308 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 2: how many calories they're burning. But for most people, I 309 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 2: just don't really understand where it fits. And if anything, 310 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: I think it can do more damage because you start 311 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: to you know, lend itself to indulging yourself on these 312 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 2: foods that really aren't healthy for us, and give yourself 313 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 2: permission to be eating them psychologically without even listening to 314 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 2: your body in terms of what it really really wants. 315 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: So it's not something I use. I think it's great 316 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 2: to be aware of it, but if someone was asking 317 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 2: me about it, I generally think it's an excuse to 318 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 2: eat more more rubbish. And you know, we all follow 319 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 2: a diet lean all of us ere a diet, whether 320 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: we like to admit it or not. But for me, 321 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: a diet is about sustainability, and it's about developing habits 322 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: and patterns of eating that you like, as opposed to 323 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 2: thinking about it in your head and thinking what you 324 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 2: should be eating in numbers terms. And that's where we 325 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: sometimes feel wrong with principles like this, which I'm asking 326 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 2: us to calculate things. And we don't eat according to 327 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 2: a science, we eat according to a behavioral pattern. 328 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: Said, and I always say that, you know, we eat food, 329 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: we don't eat numbers, we don't eat macros. And I 330 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: think that that's the biggest downside of something like this 331 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: doesn't work well. If you look at you know, the 332 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: photos and that sort of thing online, you would think absolutely, 333 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: look at these people, they look fabulous, but looking lean 334 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: and fit and strong, and that sort of thing isn't 335 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: necessarily an indicator of health. As you mentioned, a lot 336 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: of these super lean people aren't necessarily healthy, and a 337 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: lot of them have you know, super low iron levels, 338 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: they've got you know, chronic and autoimmune diseases. Just because 339 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: somebody looks a certain way and follows a certain diet 340 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: pattern doesn't necessarily mean that they're healthy. And so I 341 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: think that's a really important thing to notice. Tracking your 342 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: macros is all well and good, What about your micro nutrients? 343 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: I would say that your micro nutrients matter as much, 344 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: if not more than your macro nutrients. And are you 345 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: tracking things like are you getting in enough selonium? Are 346 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: you getting in enough fol ate? No? Probably not, because 347 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: when you're putting everything into an app, you're just not 348 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: getting that diversity of foods. And again, people fall into 349 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: that rabbit hole where they're like and this is a 350 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: perfect example of my husband when I met him, he 351 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: ate the same thing for breakfast, lunch. He had a 352 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: second lunch and then dinner every single day because he 353 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: was doing flexible dieting. That's what he did. And it 354 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: was one vegetable at each meal. It was like broccoli 355 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: and then beans, we had greens twice a day. He 356 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: had chicken, he had turkey, and I think he had 357 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: either chicken or beef for dinner. And breakfast was like 358 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: this high protein newdougrain sort of cereal with milk, and 359 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: that was it, and that was his diart because it perfectly. 360 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: He had perfectly calculated his macros on a daily basis 361 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: based on what a fitness coach had told him. Then 362 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: I came in and he started dating me. This is 363 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: years ago, and I just flipped on its head because 364 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: we shouldn't eat the same thing every day, and just 365 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: because it can calculated in an app doesn't necessarily mean 366 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: that that's healthy. He'll probably kill me for saying this 367 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: story on him. 368 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: Oh he knew he was alive when he met you. 369 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't mean it's true health. You know. See 370 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: that's mine, that's my specimen. Ever. 371 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 2: Now, you fell badly in love with someone who gave 372 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: him all the dietary information he wanted for free. 373 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: Absolutely, it works the first ways. He reads all of 374 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: my contracts and that sort of thing, because he's a 375 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: good lawyer and I do all his nutrition works well. 376 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 2: Shout out to David. We love David. 377 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, just because that's the bottom line I think 378 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: for me, like macro nutrients of course are important, but 379 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: don't forget about your micronutrients. They're so so important, and 380 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: when you're just tracking macros, your micronutrients go out the windows. 381 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: So you will probably end up deficient in quite a 382 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: lot of things. If you notice that your hair's falling out, 383 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: your period's becoming a lot more irregular, you're waking up 384 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: exhausted despite hitting your macros every day, Is that health 385 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: and are they true markers of health? Probably not. Probably 386 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: a good thing to sort of reassess what you're actually doing. 387 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 2: And they're very rough, those macro nutrient encounters. They're very, 388 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 2: very rough. They're not overly accurate. So take it with 389 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: a grain of salt and use it as a general 390 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: guide as opposed to thinking that this is an excuse 391 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 2: to eat a mass bar every day. It sounds too 392 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: good to be true, as we always say. All right, well, 393 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 2: moving on. A case study that has presented for us 394 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 2: recently is a little bit about hunger but not We've 395 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 2: spoken before, Leanne about getting in touch with your hunger 396 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 2: to guide your food choices, and that is incredibly, incredibly important, 397 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 2: but something that comes up a lot for some of 398 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 2: my clients is constant hunger. And sometimes I will start 399 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 2: someone on their plan and their feedback very quickly is 400 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 2: that they can do it, but they're feeling really hungry, 401 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 2: and that kind of incessant hunger where they can't stop 402 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 2: thinking about food and they're obsessed and they're eating their 403 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 2: dinner at four thirty. And this for me is a big, 404 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: big concern, but it's very, very common, so we did 405 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 2: think it was a really good opportunity to talk it through. 406 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: Now physiologically, if you're consuming a well balanced meal that 407 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 2: ticks the box on your macro nutrient but is also 408 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 2: really micro calorie load, So you know, you have a 409 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 2: lunch that's got some salad or soup, and then a 410 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 2: sandwich you'll rat with a decent amount of protein, or 411 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 2: perhaps some leftover dinner that's got again a serve of 412 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 2: lean meat and lots of veggies and a little bit 413 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: of good quality carbohydrates from some sweet potatoes or some 414 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 2: brown rice. That meal that might clock in between three 415 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,239 Speaker 2: to five hundred calories for the average person, should in 416 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: theory keep you full for at least three to four hours, 417 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: so as soon as I have developed a plan, or 418 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 2: clients are eating reasonably well balanced meals, if they're feeling 419 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 2: hungry within an hour or two after consuming that meal, 420 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 2: I'm a bit worried because it's telling me that something's 421 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 2: not quite right with the way they're processing their hunger 422 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 2: or potentially their hormones. So Indeed, with some hormonial conditions 423 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: like insulin resistance, because insulin is not metabolizing carbohydrate overly effectively, 424 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 2: you can have quite fluctuating glucose levels which can really 425 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 2: drive that incessant need for sweet food. Indeed, it can 426 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: be behavioral if you have programmed to eat every couple 427 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: of hours. Indeed, the brain will seek out that stimulation 428 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 2: if you are consuming inadequate amounts of carbohydrates, So if 429 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 2: you're actively cutting your carbohydrates out, So for example, you 430 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 2: might have had an omelet for breakfast with no other fuel, 431 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: no toast, or you might have had a chin a 432 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 2: salad for lunch with no carbohydrate added. Indeed, it's not 433 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 2: uncommon to get those sugar cravings an hour or two. 434 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,239 Speaker 2: So incessant hunger is a sign that you do need 435 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 2: to have a step back and say why am I 436 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 2: not getting the satisfaction and fullness. But in my experience, 437 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 2: lea and the most common reason is that there's hormonal 438 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 2: issues driving it, which is an indicator to me, I 439 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 2: may need to get those hormones under control, or that 440 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 2: the meals they're making up or developing according to what 441 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 2: they think is balanced or healthy does not have the 442 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 2: right macro nutrient mix or balance of food groups that 443 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 2: is going to keep them full for that three to 444 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 2: four hours. 445 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: And I think in my experience, I would say that 446 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: the most common things when clients say I'm hungry, I'm hungry. 447 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: I'm hungry most of the time it's in the first 448 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: one to two weeks of when I start working with 449 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: a client because the portions and the meals that I'm 450 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: giving them they're just not used to, Like we've just 451 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: flipped things on their head, Like I've pulled the carbohydrates 452 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: to half of what they're having, I've double the amount 453 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: of sales and veggies, and they've kind of got a 454 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: bit lazy and they're like, Okay, I'll hit the calves, 455 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: I'll hit the you know, the fat and the fiber, 456 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: but I didn't have enough you know, salad sold kind 457 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: of like won't bother with that or something like that. 458 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: So I think that hunger for most I would say 459 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: eighty to ninety percent of my clients will stabilize within 460 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: about a week of working with me. So I think 461 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: that's just that difference in you know, the body, the hormones, 462 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: even the mind as well in terms of just doing 463 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: something a little bit different. So I think that that 464 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: constant hunger, if it's in the first week, if you're 465 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: doing something new or working with a new program or 466 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: a dietician or something like that, give it a week, 467 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,239 Speaker 1: suck it up and see how you go. And if 468 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 1: it's still there in the second or third week, then 469 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: it's definitely something you need to look at. When the 470 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 1: second most common reason, I would say then besides, it 471 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: just needs you know, your body just it doesn't like 472 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: change necessarily, and sometimes it doesn't do that well with change. 473 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: So just give it a good week and see what happens. 474 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: And if you're still feeling hungry all of the time 475 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: in a week two or three, that's all we need 476 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: to sort of shake things up a bit. Are you 477 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: eating enough fiber? Are you eating enough protein? Most of 478 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: Australians should be thirty grams plus a fiber a day. 479 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: I personally think, SUSI, that our fiber recommendations are too low. 480 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: It's twenty five grams for healthy women and thirty grams 481 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: for healthy men. I quite often will easily have my 482 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: clients on thirty thirty five, forty grams or fiber a day. 483 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: I personally think that our Austraan recommendations are too low. 484 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: Just my own opinion, but I will absolutely drive up 485 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: the fiber and the protein and their meal plans. And 486 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: the other thing is for a lot of is is 487 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: it true physical hunger. It's that difference between I'm just 488 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: craving something because I know I'm you know, following a 489 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: meal plan and trying to be quote unquote good, or 490 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's Wednesday and I haven't had any chocolate 491 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: since Monday. Whatever it is. But it's just that emotional 492 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: drive to eat what I call head hunger, versus that 493 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: true physical hunger or that stomach hunger. So I think 494 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: that's really a big thing to ask clients, are you 495 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: actually truly physically hungry? If I said to you, go 496 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: and have an extra veggie super go and grab three 497 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: or four carrots with some homus or selza, could you 498 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: do that and they're like, oh no, no, I really 499 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: just feel like some crackers. And it's like if you've 500 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: got a driver and need for an exact or certain 501 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: type of food, it's more probably that head hunger or 502 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: that emotional hunger versus that true physical hunger, because if 503 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: you were truly physically hungry, you would eat any vegetable 504 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: on the planet. I would just drink, you know, gallons 505 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,719 Speaker 1: of water if I was truly physically hungry and that 506 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: was the only thing that was available. So I think 507 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: it's really important to sort of differentiate between is this 508 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: true physical hunger or stomach hunger. So I think they're 509 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: probably the two most common reasons. And I think probably 510 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: the third one is clients who are trying to do 511 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: it themselves and they just put themselves in a far 512 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: too big a deficit. I had a dam from a 513 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: girl just yesterday who was like, he's an online calculator. 514 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: I know you always say you need to be in 515 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: a deficit to lose weight. Well, my deficit was I 516 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: think it's just like one than one hundred calories or 517 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 1: something like that. And I was like, oh, it's too big, 518 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: And I said, why that deficit? And she said, Oh, 519 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: the blog I read said it should be a five 520 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: hundred cow deficit, And I just think for too many 521 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: of us, we're just putting ourselves in two bigger deficits. 522 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: Of course we're going to feel hungry if you're you know, 523 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: she was gaining weight beforehand. You know, she's probably on 524 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: two thousand plus calories, has now taken herself down to 525 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: eleven hundred calories, probably ramped up her exercise in the 526 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: bitten the process as well, because she's trying to lose weight. 527 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: It's just too big as too much for the body 528 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: to cope with. Like I really do think slow and 529 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: steady wins the waste, so I think not enough protein 530 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: and fiber. Is this actually true hunger or is this 531 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: just more cravings in that constant need or want to 532 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: eat because we're so used to it because it's a 533 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: habit for us. And are we in too big a deficit? 534 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: They're probably the three biggest things I think about when 535 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: clients are saying I'm hungry and hungry and hungry. 536 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: And I think, leading on from that, it's time of 537 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 2: day because people start out with this intention of cutting back, 538 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 2: so they impose the restriction earlier in the day, So 539 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 2: they might start with an eagle or two and one 540 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: slice of toast, so they think, right, I'm going to 541 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 2: be good. I'm going to cut down on the carbohydrates. 542 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 2: Then they skip morning tea or they just have a 543 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 2: cup of green tea because they're trying to be good, 544 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 2: and then they get to lunch and they give themselves 545 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 2: a plane tuna salad. Now what happens in my experience 546 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 2: with that is because they have restricted at the time 547 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 2: of day when they're often most physically active and need 548 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 2: the most energy, that they get a rebound hunger all afternoon, 549 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,719 Speaker 2: and that is where you have that constant need to snack, 550 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 2: and you know two o'clock you're hungry again, and then 551 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 2: at four o'clock it's like you can't get enough food in. 552 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: So you really want to pile the day with more fuel, 553 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 2: in particular that vegetable bulk at every meal, including breakfast 554 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 2: and lunch, and make sure that those first two meals 555 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 2: are balanced, and you will notice that your hunger is 556 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 2: a lot more in control on those days. Because my 557 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: argument's always been your race of good nutritions one in 558 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 2: the morning, kind of like trathlon. The race is one 559 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 2: on the bike. So if you front load and get 560 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 2: breakfast really well balanced with some veggies as well to 561 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: bulk it up a well balanced lunch that contains all 562 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 2: of your nutrient groups, you will find you won't have 563 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 2: that constant need to snack all afternoon. But you're right 564 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 2: because the other thing that people do in the afternoon 565 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 2: is they grab the crackers or all carbohydrate without their 566 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 2: balance of their macros and getting some protein, getting some veggies, 567 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 2: and the more of that really quickly digestive carbohydrate you consume, 568 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 2: like the rice crackers and the hommus and those ready 569 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 2: to eat you know, snacks, it primes the brain to 570 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: look for more of those really starches, those really processed carbohydrates, 571 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 2: and that drives you or overeating all afternoon. So it's 572 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 2: about getting the balance through the day helps to control 573 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 2: your hunger and in the afternoon. And when a client 574 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 2: presents and says that they're starving at five o'clock, I 575 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 2: know they haven't eaten enough in the day. So it's 576 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 2: about what's happening earlier in those meals. And inevitably, when 577 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 2: I look at food pictures or food diaries, my constant 578 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 2: feedback is where are the vegetables, where's the salad? Because 579 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 2: I might pile a whole salad with lunch or add 580 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 2: lots of veggies to an omelet, and my clients will 581 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 2: have nothing. They'll have a slice of tomato. So it's 582 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 2: that shift and getting that balance right through the day, 583 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 2: and that helps predict that hunger management in the in 584 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 2: the afternoon and then in the evening. A lot of it, 585 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 2: as you said's habitual. It's because we're programmed to have 586 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 2: a lot of sweet food. So it's working through that 587 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 2: and really thinking, right, the truth is, I'm not actually 588 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 2: probably hungry, it's just wanting something in my mouth. So 589 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 2: how can I have something in my mouth that's not 590 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 2: going to be too many calories? 591 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think there are quite a few, I think 592 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: different concepts that we can really look for here. So 593 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: I hope that those sort of talking points have given 594 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: our listeners something to think about, because it's going to 595 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: be different for everybody. Just because you're hungry doesn't necessarily 596 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: mean you need eat more. It doesn't necessarily mean that 597 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 1: you haven't eaten enough. Maybe you've eaten enough, but it's 598 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: the wrong type of food, or it's the wrong mix 599 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: of foods or you've had just a huge leg day 600 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: at the gym, you know, and you actually need to 601 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: eat more than other days. And again, this is why 602 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: I hate it, or not that I hate I don't 603 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: encourage clients to calorie count and macro account because most 604 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: of the time you're trying to eat the same thing 605 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: every day, but you don't do the same thing every day. 606 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: And I know, Susie, not right now because I'm pregnant. 607 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: But when I do a big leg day in the 608 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: past at the gym, I'm hungry that day, like hungry, 609 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: like I'll go breakfast, snack, snack, lunch, snacksnack, dinner, Versus 610 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: if I just go out and just do say my 611 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: ten thousand steps for the day and that's all I do, 612 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: I can normally hold off of my break e till, 613 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: you know, around ten o'clock because I'm just not genuinely hungry, 614 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: then go to a later lunch and then maybe have 615 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: one sack in the arbor and have dinner, and I'm 616 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: done for the day. Like my calorie loadal intake for 617 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: that day is just significantly lower than if I'm doing 618 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: a big heavy leg day in the gym because I'm 619 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: just not burning as much and I'm just not as hungry, 620 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: So all of these things I think come into play, 621 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: but it's really it's going to come down to an 622 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: individual basis. And again we're going to plug dietitians here, 623 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: and that's what's so important to be working with a 624 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: qualified professional because yeah, sure you can do it yourself, 625 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: but you know, I could do my tax myself, but 626 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: I'd probably be losing out on you know, hundreds or 627 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars, So you know, in terms of what 628 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: I could actually be claiming, I could attempt to fix 629 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: my calm myself, am I got to fix it? Probably not. 630 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: I could attempt to you know, clean my teeth myself 631 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: and not go to the dentist for years and years, 632 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: but eventually, I think my teeth are going to pull out. 633 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: So I think the need to see a professional in 634 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: what those professionals are qualified in is so so important. 635 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: In nutrition is just one of those scary areas where 636 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: because there's so much online or because everybody eats, everybody 637 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: thinks they're an expert in nutrition. So absolutely is a 638 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: good time for us to really rate the importance of 639 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: seeing a dietitian. If you have specific goals around your nutrition. 640 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 2: And a meal should keep you full three to four hours. 641 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 2: If you're eating every hour or two, it's way too often. Definitely, 642 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 2: that's a guiding light. 643 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: Absolutely, Now onto our most popular segment, our new and 644 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: exciting supermarket products. So a listener has sent us this 645 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: over our Instagram, Susie, which is at the Nutrition Couch podcast. 646 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: So give us a follow on Instagram if you don't already, 647 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 1: and send us your product, send us your questions in 648 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: bearing in mind that we can't give you personalized advice, 649 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: so we have had quite a lot of dms saying 650 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: from people, Hey, Susie Leanne, this is my height, this 651 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: is my weight? How many calories should I be eating? 652 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: We can't give that personalized advice over Instagram, but we 653 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: are more than happy to chat about listener questions and 654 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: the different products that you send through to us as well, 655 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: so please do send them through. We've got quite a 656 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: listen now, don't we, Susie. Our listeners are really enjoying 657 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: the podcast, which is amazing. But today we're chatting about 658 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: a product somebody has sent in called PEB two. So 659 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: it's essentially powdered peanut butter. So on the front of it. 660 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: The marketing says ninety percent less fat and six grams 661 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: of protein, So I mean it looks pretty good. I 662 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: think it is gluten free, and it's a vegan product 663 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: as well. So for two tablespoons of this powdered peanut butter, 664 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: it's sixty calories. It is one point five grams of fat, 665 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: so significantly lower fat than if you had two tablespoons 666 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: of actual peanut butter. It's gone ninety milligrams of sodium 667 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: and five grams of carbohydrates. So obviously, because peanut butter 668 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: is more of a fat, we don't expect a huge 669 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: amount of carbohydrate a gram of fiber for the two 670 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: tablespoons a powdered peanut butter and six grams of protein, 671 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: so six grams of proteins is a big whack in 672 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: two tablespoons and quite low calories as well, at just 673 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: sixty calories. So I've actually got some sitting in my 674 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: cupboard at the moment, SUSI, A brand I think in 675 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: the past is center to me or I don't know, 676 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: it's ended up somehow in my cupboard. I did mention 677 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: to you because SUSI said, where do you actually buy 678 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: this from and I said, I've seen it in my gym, 679 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: because my gym has this big fancy venue machine. They 680 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: sell you know, broccoli chips and protein cookies and all 681 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: the health kalos that we've talked about in the past. 682 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: But this is actually something that I don't consider too bad. 683 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: Actually a sort of a fan of it, SUSI, because 684 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: you can get the taste of the peanut butter in it, 685 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: but a lot lower calorie, a lot higher protein. So again, 686 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: if you're in a deficit and you're trying to lose 687 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: body fat, is a good option. It's nothing like real 688 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: peanut butter. I must admit. You kind of mix it 689 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: with water and it forms like a little bit of 690 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: a paste. So I've actually put it in porridge in 691 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,719 Speaker 1: my porodge in the morning. I've sort of put some 692 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: of this in and the taste is there, but it's 693 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: just nowhere near is concentrated in terms of the taste 694 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,239 Speaker 1: as normal peanut butter would. But I guess it is 695 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: sort of what probably at least a third of the 696 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: calories that two tablespoons of normal peanut butter would be. 697 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: So I think it has a time and a place, 698 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: and it's definitely something that I'm not going to completely 699 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: discount at all, but for the right type of person, 700 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: I think it could be quite helpful. What are your thoughts. 701 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 2: This is one of the most interesting products I've ever seen, 702 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 2: and I've also had to look. Actually it does say 703 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 2: it's available at will Wors. It sells for ten dollars, 704 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 2: which is obviously significantly more than a standard peanut butter. 705 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 2: It's imported from the US, and I will disclose that 706 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 2: I do. I am an ambassador for Mavers and Astray 707 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,719 Speaker 2: in peanut butter, so I'll be very careful here. I 708 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 2: think it's really interesting because you're right, it gives people 709 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 2: an opportunity to potentially enjoy the protein rich benefits associated 710 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 2: with peanut butter with a lot less fat. It does 711 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 2: have added sugar and salt, which a number of the 712 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 2: peanut butter's on the market now, including the Maas range, 713 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 2: don't have, so there's a downside to that, and I 714 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 2: think for people who potentially are counting their fat or 715 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 2: really love the taste of it, it's an option, but 716 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 2: you're going to pay for that. You know, it's ten 717 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 2: dollars per jar, which isn't insignificant, and I just think Wow, 718 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 2: I guess the other thing going through my mind, and 719 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 2: we haven't discussed this before, like, do you think you'd 720 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 2: lose some of the sort of antioxidant potential with some 721 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 2: of those nuts in the way that it had been processed. 722 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that the potential is definitely there, 723 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: But again, probably peanut isn't like what I would call 724 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: the healthiest type of nut or anything. Yeah, I mean 725 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: it's more about like ume, isn't it than a nut? 726 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, there are bros and cons. Like I think 727 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: it sort of falls mid range to me, like it's 728 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: not something I highly recommend or I don't think I've 729 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: ever written it into a meal plan for a client, 730 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: but I can see that it has a place, I guess. 731 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: But you definitely do need to be using I think 732 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: I sort of originally added about a teaspoon to my 733 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: approach and I literally couldn't even taste it. So you 734 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,959 Speaker 1: do have to be using quite a lot of it, 735 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: like sort of the one to two tablespoons that's recommended 736 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: in the serving size, which again the container is not 737 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: actually that big, and for ten bucks a pop, you know, 738 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: the price does add up quite a lot. So just 739 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: im off the top of my head. 740 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 2: Looking at it, I'm wondering, actually if it would be 741 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 2: a reasonably good ingredient for homemade bliss balls or even 742 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 2: to bump up the protein content of baking. Yeah. Yeah, 743 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,239 Speaker 2: because if you're if I cook with peanut butter, I'm 744 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 2: often using it as a fat almost as an alternative 745 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 2: to having extravagin olive oil or butter. But one of 746 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 2: the issues when it comes to protein balls in particular 747 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 2: is if people don't have or want to use protein powder, 748 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 2: what's an ingredient you can get in there? And I'm thinking, 749 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 2: if you were making a bliss ball, I would probably 750 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 2: use it there. I wouldn't use it as an alternative 751 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 2: to peanut butter because I think that there's better one 752 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 2: hundred percent nuts spreads out there that are better to 753 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 2: spread and things. But if I had it at home, 754 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: I would actually use it as a base to a 755 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 2: bliss ball, as a way of getting the protein in 756 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 2: there without using protein powder. Yeah, I interest because only 757 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 2: two tablespoons is almost six s grams of protein, So. 758 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: That's astrad idea. Yeah, and for only sixty calories. 759 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 2: That's how I would absolutely use that product if across 760 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 2: my path. And then compared to the cluster protein powder. 761 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 2: It's actually not too expensive because of course protein powders 762 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 2: coming in at about twenty dollars per container. So yeah, 763 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,959 Speaker 2: just off the top of my head brainstorming, that's how 764 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 2: I would actually use it in real life. If I 765 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 2: was making protein balls. Of course you can't send those 766 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 2: to school because then they have a nut base. But 767 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 2: for adults at home or why the kids are all homeschooling, 768 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 2: if you were making bliss balls, you know, you could 769 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 2: do peanut butter banana balls with that really easily. It 770 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 2: would probably, I think work really well in products like that. 771 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 2: And also I think smoothies as well. A lot of 772 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 2: people again don't like to use protein powder, and for 773 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 2: whatever reason, I think that's absolutely fine. But you know, 774 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 2: smoothies are generally and again especially if you're you know, 775 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 2: following a vegan or a plant based life style, you 776 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 2: can't get a good whack of Greek yogurt in there. 777 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 2: You're actually going to be quite limited with your protein 778 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 2: if you're a plant based and be don't like adding 779 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 2: protein powder. So I think this is a really good 780 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 2: option to get a little bit more protein into something 781 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 2: like a smoothie as well, so I do think it definitely. 782 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 2: You know, I think the perpose of it is the 783 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 2: six grams of protein for only sixty calories. I think 784 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 2: that's amazing, particularly for people following a plant based lifestyle 785 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 2: with the love of the fibers a little bit higher. 786 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 2: But you know, Lisa's a gram in there. But I 787 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 2: think overall it's it's a medium sized product that we 788 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 2: could recommend. I definitely recommend it. I wouldn't I wouldn't 789 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 2: shy away and say it's not recommended, but I think 790 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 2: it has a time and a place, and for the 791 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 2: right type of person, I think it could actually be 792 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 2: quite beneficial, absolutely for plant based diarts. You write breakfast smoothies, 793 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 2: great choice, and I might have a play with it 794 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 2: and some bliss balls actually, but that's exactly where I 795 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 2: would use it. So if you've used it, we would 796 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 2: love to hear from you post your recipes or experience 797 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 2: with it. But I think we will continue to see 798 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 2: more and more of these food products that are almost 799 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 2: novel to compliment the diets that we will have. But 800 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 2: that's a US product. It wouldn't surprise me if we 801 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 2: see it a straight and one. 802 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: I think there are a few Australian brands. Yeah, this 803 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 1: is just the one that one of the ladies sent 804 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: me over Instagram, so I screenshot of this exact brand, 805 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: But I think there are a few different brands on 806 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: the market. The one in the vetting machine at my 807 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: gym is definitely a different brand. And I've seen a 808 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 1: chocolate version of this as well, so it's powdered pebe 809 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: and chocolate together, so I think they're almost trying to 810 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: make some sort of like healthy toteller or something like 811 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 1: that for it. So I think again, you know, there's 812 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: a few different flavor combos there as well, so definitely, Yeah, 813 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: a few interesting and exciting products coming to the supermarket. 814 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't mind this one overall. And I 815 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: do think, as we mentioned, from someone following a plant 816 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 1: based lifestyle or trying to keep their fats or their 817 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 1: calories overall quite low, it can definitely have a time 818 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: and a place very interesting. 819 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 2: My good find good find all Right, Well, for our 820 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 2: final segment of the week, we had a great listener 821 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 2: question come up about probiotics, and if we're honest, we 822 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 2: do get quite a lot of questions around gut health 823 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 2: and specifically around supplements you can take and probiotics, And 824 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 2: the question was a general one about should we be 825 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 2: taking probiotics for general health now nutritionally, when we have 826 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 2: a look at the research, there's some specific dietary areas 827 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 2: that are proven to have a beneficial effect of probiotics. 828 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 2: And for anyone who's not familiar, probiotics are the good 829 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 2: bacteria that exists naturally in our gut and we get 830 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 2: them in fermented food, so you often see them as 831 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 2: part of yogurts or even probiotic shots like You're coolt 832 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 2: and we see them in more and more of our 833 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 2: foods in general to support and gut help. So specifically 834 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 2: then that the areas of nutritional science I'm aware of 835 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 2: that have been shown to have proven effects of probiotics 836 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 2: being added to the diet are more for digestive health issues, 837 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:15,280 Speaker 2: things like alterative colitis, dibarticulitis. I know there's some evidence 838 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 2: to help reduce collic in infants and babies. Is there 839 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 2: any other key areas that you're aware of from the 840 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 2: research that are proven to have benefit from using probiotics. 841 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: The colic in the babies is a great one. The 842 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 1: alternative colitis is again very strong research to support that 843 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: has you know, as much chances remission as what some 844 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: of the steroids do. Traveler's diarrhea is a big one. 845 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: If you're overseas and you know something like Barley Belly 846 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,439 Speaker 1: the Spion the good old days, Yeah, it's pretty lucky 847 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: enough to travel to somewhere like Barley. These days, travelers 848 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: diarrhea absolutely antibotic associated diarrhea. So in the hospital system 849 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: there's a terrible type of antibiotic related diarrhea called seediff. 850 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: So there's really really strong research for some a specific 851 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: strain of prodic to help with seediff. And there's a 852 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: little bit of emerging evidence around ibs and some constipation, 853 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: and also a tiny bit of evidence I found around mastatists. 854 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: But I think you know, by the town you got mastatists, 855 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: I think you're, yeah, you're probably not wanting to really 856 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: do too much rather than just get those antibotics and 857 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: as fast as you can to help you out. So yeah, 858 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: there is definitely some specific health conditions, but with probotics, 859 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,839 Speaker 1: it is absolutely around the strain that needs to be 860 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: research to support the strain, the amount and the type 861 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: as well that you're having. So I think that there's 862 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: a few things to think about for probotics, but for 863 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: general health. If you wanted a black and white anser, 864 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: my answer would be no, I don't think that probodics 865 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 1: are needed for general health in a capsule form. I 866 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: think we can take probotics in our foods. But what's 867 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: more important, and we have research to support this, Suzi, 868 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: is that probotics for general health matter far more than 869 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: what proverdics do. So O proverdex are a good bacteria. 870 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: Our probotics are the things that feed our good bacteria, 871 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: so they create fuel for our gut health, and probotics 872 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: can naturally help to strengthen our gut lining and our 873 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 1: gut health as well. So there's not enough research for 874 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: probotics and general health. But the way we should be 875 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,320 Speaker 1: putting our focus is on naturally occurring probotics. And for 876 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: a lot of people with gut health issues and ibs, 877 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: there are a lot of our high fodmapp foods, so 878 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: I think, just be really careful. But we don't absolutely 879 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: want to cut out probotics in general, even though they 880 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 1: might trigger us and cause a few symptoms. We still 881 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: want to include as much as possible and as much 882 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 1: diversity as possible in small amounts, even if it's sort 883 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: of every second day as you can, because the research 884 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: is really strong for general health and probotics, not so 885 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: much of probotics just for those specific health conditions we mentioned. 886 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 2: And when it comes to probiotics, I much prefer my 887 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 2: clients are consuming them in whole natural foods as much 888 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 2: as possible anyway, So plain Greek yogurt that is not 889 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 2: Greek style yogurt which is different, but actually good quality 890 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 2: Greek yogurt which is the one that doesn't taste as 891 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 2: sweet or fermented vegetables you know in sour crowd and 892 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 2: miso and foods like that. So I think when you're 893 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 2: ticking the box on those what we call superfoods that 894 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,320 Speaker 2: have packfull of nutrition in general and great daily additions, 895 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 2: I definitely don't retain and recommend people go and pay 896 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 2: for extra probiotics for all of these reasons. Plus there 897 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 2: are another expense, and I would rather my clients are 898 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 2: spending on good quality fresh fruit and vegetables and increasing 899 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 2: the load. As we know, the wider the range of 900 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 2: those products, the better our range of gut microbiome is anyway, 901 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 2: So it comes down always to me to a good 902 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,720 Speaker 2: quality yoga and things like that, just to be ticking 903 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 2: the box when you're with your daily food choices rather 904 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 2: than popping another pill. 905 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I just think that it's really going to 906 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: be sort of the one to five percent of your diet. 907 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: Like if you're taking a probodic hoping to improve your 908 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 1: gut health and your diet is crap, you're not going 909 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: to get anywhere, do you know what I mean? Like, 910 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: the foundations of a good diet are going to make 911 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: up eighty five to ninety percent of what needs to 912 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 1: be done, and supplementation on top of that. We always 913 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: say as dieticians, may be one to five percent benefit 914 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: that you're going to get there. But the problem is 915 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: we all want the miracle and the pill. We all 916 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: want to pop something and hope that it helps, rather 917 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 1: than actually do the hard work and reduce our stress 918 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 1: and focus on sleep and focus on eating more whole foods. 919 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,280 Speaker 1: So this so much that goes into a holistic, healthy lifestyle. 920 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 1: And I can promise you that probotics would be maybe 921 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: five percent of benefit for the majority of people, unless, 922 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: of course we're talking about those specific health conditions and 923 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,760 Speaker 1: if you did have one of those specific health conditions 924 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: such as inflammatory baladases or antibodic associated diarrhea. Absolutely crucial 925 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: to touch base with either your DP but probably more 926 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: importantly your dietician because they will know the exact strain 927 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 1: and the exact type of probotic. If you had you know, 928 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: a bit of Barley Valians, some travelers diarrhea. You're not 929 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: just going to go and grab a random probatic at 930 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 1: the chemist. You're going to want an exact strain and 931 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 1: an exact amount of that to take, and an exact 932 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 1: time frame as well. So again you're not wasting your money, 933 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 1: You're getting the true benefits which are proven in the research. 934 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: So I think that there is, you know, some really 935 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: great emerging science around probotics, but I think for general health, 936 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: majority of people probably not needed absolutely focus on probotics 937 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: from food first, and also your probotics from naturally occurring 938 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 1: foods as well. Alrighty, Susie, that brings us to the 939 00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: end of Nutrition Couch for another week. I'm more sad 940 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: on it to an end, but I do think we 941 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,919 Speaker 1: cover so much content. I mean, it's been nearly forty minutes, 942 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,400 Speaker 1: so I think we've done pretty well this week. 943 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 2: We try to keep our times to thirty, but we're not. 944 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,800 Speaker 2: We're failing dismally every week, so we're sorry. 945 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: Some of these things we could talk about for longer 946 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: and longer and longer, but we do try to cap 947 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: ourselves so that it is a nice short shot podcast 948 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,240 Speaker 1: for you guys, and we can cover a lot of topics. 949 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: So if you haven't done so already, we appreciate it 950 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 1: so much.
