1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Hi Onleanne Ward and I'm Susie Burrow and welcome to 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: the Nutrition Couch, a weekly podcast from two of Ustrey's 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: leading dieticians, bringing you everything that is new in the 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: world of nutrition, diets and good food from the Nutrition Couch. 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: Today we're chatting about the trending media topic of flexible darting, 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: or you may have heard it called if it fits 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: your macros. Our client case study of the week is 8 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: about being constantly hungry while trying to lose weight. And 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: on our most popular segment, the Soupermarket Product of the Week, 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,959 Speaker 1: we discuss a new powdered pinut butter. And finally, one 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: of our listener questions has sent us in a question 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 1: about probotics. Should we be taking them for general helps. 13 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: We'll give you all of the research and science behind that, 14 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: but before we jump into today's podcast, Susie, you are 15 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: always cooking up a storm in the kitchen. What have 16 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: you made for the twins this week? 17 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: I do cook quite a lot. Sometimes I'm testing different recipes. 18 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm cooking to thank people for things, or of course, 19 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: to get that elusive perfect Instagram shot. The issue, of course, 20 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: is that contrary to what you see on social media, 21 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: they don't always work out, and I actually do have 22 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: to throw out a fair wax. So for every great photo, 23 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: there's probably two or three dodgy ones that haven't quite 24 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: made it. But I tear what I have been perfecting, 25 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 2: and I am pretty proud of this. I have wanted 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 2: to be able to make a muffin with a crunchy top, 27 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: like at a cafe for some time because whenever I 28 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 2: make muffins, and they're not my favorite go to and 29 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 2: not even my kids, but they do really well on 30 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 2: social media. But I thought if I could perfect a 31 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 2: crunchy top muffin, I would be pretty happy. And I 32 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 2: finally have got the right mix. And it's not complicated. 33 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 2: It's more like how you do a crumble. We do 34 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: a little bit of brown sugar with a little bit 35 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: of wholemeal flour and do it that way. But I'm 36 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: pretty proud of my effort. So I've been doing the 37 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: crunchy top muffins. They're coming up particularly well. This morning. 38 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 2: I did like a breakfast bircher, but I did it 39 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: as a muffin. Now I think people will love it 40 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: because it's like a creamy oats breakfast muffin that you 41 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: could have in a bowl, almost like a cake, but 42 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: it's not my flavor profile I don't eat that. So 43 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 2: the other thing is a lot of the stuff I 44 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: actually don't really like that much, so that helps, and 45 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 2: we try and give the rest to neighbors and things. 46 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: But as I said, I also have terrible stuff up. 47 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: So like a couple of weeks ago, I had to 48 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 2: get a picture of a banana bread and I took 49 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 2: it out too early land so it was still wet 50 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 2: in the middle. I knew it was, and I got 51 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: the photo. It's a great photo, but I also know 52 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: the battle wasn't completely cooked crew because it was really 53 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: dense and thick because I tend to thicken them up 54 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: with quite a lot of yogat, And I ended up 55 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: taking it to my mum's and it was literally we 56 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: just chucked it out. So that's the thing about Instagram, 57 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 2: isn't it Just because it looks perfect doesn't always mean 58 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: that it is. And for every great looking baked recipe, 59 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: there's probably a couple that are looking pretty dodgy. So 60 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: I definitely spend a lot of time in supermarkets picking 61 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 2: up whole your self raising flour yogurt and butter, which 62 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: are the things that I tend to run out of 63 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: because I will also say, I know we've got to 64 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: get started. But I always give people the option in 65 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: baking of using a sugar replace. It's not like a 66 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: monk fruit or sugar. But if I'm honest, I don't 67 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: buy monk fruits sweet now because I think it's really expensive, 68 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: like eight dollars a small bag, and I really try 69 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: and make things affordable. So I give people the option. 70 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 2: But I myself just cook with a little bit of 71 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: sugar because I don't want to spend eight dollars plus 72 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: on making a muffin or a banana bread recipe. So 73 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 2: I like to give people that option because otherwise it 74 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 2: can be really quite expensive. All of that healthy baking. 75 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: You can absolutely yeah, And you know me, I don't 76 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: tend to bake too much, so I always love seeing 77 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: your creations on social media. 78 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: Might't be longer there. We're going to be having those 79 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: pureys coming up soon. 80 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: Get gotta get me one of those Thermo mixers or 81 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: something like that. I think I can make up some 82 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: baby food. 83 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: It makes it really easy one hundred percent and you 84 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: can just freeze it. All up and off you go, 85 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: so you never is motivated. I think when the kids 86 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: are about six months. By the time it gets to 87 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: twelve and eighteen months and you're fully back at work, 88 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: you just don't care anymore. But go with it. At 89 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: six months, I agree, invest in the thermino. 90 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: Awesome, well, Susie. This week in the media, we're chatting 91 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: about flexible darting. So it's I I f YM or 92 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: if it fits your macros? What have you heard about this? 93 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: I know it's big within sort of the bodybuilder and 94 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: fitness community. A lot of the online coaches who you 95 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: know work with clients for fat loss are talking about 96 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: flexible dieting. Essentially, it's just a way of I think 97 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: counting or tracking your macros and making them fit. Rather 98 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: than I guess calorie counting. It's more tracking the number 99 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: of macro nutrients you're having. And for me, you know, 100 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: I've sort of dabbled with a little bit in the past. 101 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: If I'm going through a fat loss block myself, I 102 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: will of course track, but I'll track calories and macros 103 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: because we know that if the goal is fat loss, 104 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: you absolutely have to be in a calorie deficit, and 105 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: I think macro nutrients, particularly from a body composition perspective matter. 106 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: You know, you don't want too many carbohydrates. You need 107 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: enough fat, particularly for things like you know, cellular health 108 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: and hairskin and nails and that sort of thing, and 109 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: even just women's reproductive organs how they work. We need 110 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: some fat in our diet at a minimum of twenty percent. 111 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: And I think protein, of course, is especially important when 112 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: we're trying to aim to you know, gain some lean 113 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: muscle mass or maintain our muscle mass. So I think 114 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: macro nutrients are absolutely important. But how do you feel 115 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: about just the concept of flexible dieting. 116 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 2: When it comes to me, I think this is what 117 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 2: I would call a convenient diet theory for you. So 118 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: it's really using a proposed model of eating to suggest 119 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: that you can very easily eat high calorie or what 120 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: we'd call sugary processed foods and still achieve your dietary goals. 121 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 2: So if I'm putting it into context, and I wasn't 122 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 2: overly clear about it either, because I think it just 123 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 2: to me doesn't fit at all flexible, But then dieting, 124 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: I'm just not really quite clear. But the best way 125 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: I can think to describe it is that if you 126 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: have a goal of fat loss and you're sticking to 127 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: a certain calorie load or macronutrient loads. So say you 128 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: wanted to reduce your carbohydrate down to forty percent of intake, 129 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: So if you wanted to still have a chocolate bar 130 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: at lunch time, the way you would be able to 131 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 2: do that is if you made sure you were getting 132 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: your salad and vegetables that didn't affect your macros, and 133 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 2: then a piece of lean protein, and then potentially you 134 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: could get a little bit of well, I guess you 135 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: get the carbohydrate from the mars bar and a little 136 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 2: bit of fat from that, so you were keeping all 137 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: the other components of that meal low in fat and light, 138 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: so it would allow you to have a mars bar 139 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: as part of your diet. Now, I think philosophically it 140 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 2: sounds really nice because it means you take away from 141 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: that idea that there's good and bad foods. In that model, 142 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 2: it's about choosing the foods you want to eat but 143 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 2: still achieving your dietary goals. But I am yet to 144 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: see it really work in practice. And my understanding is 145 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: that where it comes up most of all these people 146 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 2: who are perhaps doing physique changing or specifically bodybuilding, where 147 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 2: they have a much wider range of calories and macros 148 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 2: that they can fill, and so it doesn't matter if 149 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 2: they eat a packet of lollies because their carbohydrate intake 150 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 2: or requirements are very high, Whereas I really struggle to 151 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 2: see how it could fit for my clients who are 152 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: small people who don't have a lot of calories to 153 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: play with. And I can tell you straight away that 154 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: if they would doing flexible dieting and still including a 155 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 2: high fat, high sugar food most days, they wouldn't achieve 156 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: their diet your goals because they just don't have that 157 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 2: much room to move calorie wise. So for me, it 158 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: fits to a much larger frame person who has a 159 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: lot more energy and calories to burn as opposed to 160 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: the clients that I work with. 161 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: And I think that's a really important point because a 162 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: lot of the bodybuilders and the finness coaches out there 163 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: who promote this, and I think the funniest thing is 164 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: that people the first thing and I googled, you know, 165 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: if it fits your macros? And the first website that 166 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: popped up was the IFYM website, and the first thing 167 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: it's said in big bold letters, was this is not 168 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: a diet. Well, if you're weighing and tracking your food 169 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: every day, that's a diet. So I think it is 170 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: a type of diet. But I think people get away 171 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: with it saying, you know, you can eat mar as 172 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: well as you can eat donut. You can eat whatever 173 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: you want as long as it fits into your macro nutrients. 174 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: But I think you make an important point that a 175 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: lot of the proponents of this diet, and a lot 176 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: of people who are promoting it, have super high requirements. 177 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: So if you're a bodybuilder, you're doing twenty twenty five 178 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: thousand steps a day, you're doing seven workouts a week, 179 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: you're in three thousand plus calories. Yeah, you're gonna have 180 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: a lot more calories to play with than the average 181 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: person who sits at a desk job might get three 182 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: or four workouts in a week, but their deficit in 183 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: terms of fat loss is more around that fifteen sixteen 184 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: hundred calorie mark. You just don't have the luxury or 185 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: flexibility of having a lot of these higher calorie processed foods. 186 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: So I do think you're right it it matches a 187 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: certain client tell more than it's something that fits everybody. 188 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: But also I think for a lot of people it's 189 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: it's kind of just an excuse to eat processed foods. 190 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: And as you said, you know, trying to eat three 191 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: thousand plus calories specifically focusing in whole foods is actually 192 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: really hard to do. Like there is people who you know, 193 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: they will eat a bag of lollies just to get 194 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: their carbs and their sugars in. They will just add 195 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: you know, a mass bar on top of their porridge 196 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: in the morning just to get their carbohydrates right up there. 197 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: After a training session, they're taking down bulk protein powders 198 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: because their protein requirements are like one hundred and eighty 199 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: grams a day, and good luck to you try to 200 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: eat that in you know, whole foods, there's a lot 201 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: of protein. So I think for a lot of people, yeah, 202 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: it is, you kind of do end up a lot 203 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: more processed foods in And then clients that I've worked 204 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: in the past who come into my coaching services, obviously 205 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: this isn't something that I recommend, but they've tried this 206 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: before and they say, I don't want to do it 207 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: again because I you know, the tracking and the weighing 208 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: and that sort of thing just drives me insane. And 209 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: I get to the end of the night and I've 210 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: got like, say, only two hundred calories left. I'm starving. 211 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: I've got no carbohydrates left because I ate it all lunchtime. 212 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: And what am I supposed to do with Like, you know, 213 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: I've got to eat sixty grams of protein or something, 214 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: and I've got no fat left and no carbs left. 215 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: So I think unless you're really planning out your day 216 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: and you kind of know what you're going to have 217 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: for dinner, you can get very stuck in terms of 218 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: using all of those you know, with the flexible dieting, 219 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: it's like I want to go have a burger in 220 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: some fries for lunch. Okay, that's cool. It might fit 221 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: your macros now, But by the time you get to dinner, 222 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: you've got no fat left, you've got barely new carbohydrates left. 223 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: You've got to eat a hell of a lot of 224 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: protein for dinner on very very low calories. So what 225 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: are you going to have a piece of steam fish 226 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: and two green beans. I think it's just it's not 227 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: as flexible, I think, as what people really think it is. 228 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: And The other thing is that most people don't consider 229 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: a fib or a mac nutrient targets, So I think 230 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: a lot of people aren't actually tracking their fiber intake EGY, 231 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: which we know for general health and particularly gut health 232 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: is so incredibly important. So I think that a lot 233 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: of people are going, yeah, I'll have a burger and 234 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: fries for lunch, and I'll just have some steamfish for 235 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: dinner and a piece of broccoli. But they're not getting 236 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: anywhere near the required amounts of fiber or that diversity 237 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: of fruits and veg every day as well. And you know, 238 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: they're eating a bag of lollies, whereas you could have 239 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: a nice fruit salad and you're gonna get a lot 240 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: more nutrients in from the fruit salad, but probably a 241 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: similar amount of carbs and sugar in there. So I 242 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: do think there are some negatives to it. It definitely 243 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: does fit a particular type of clientele, as you said, 244 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: larger bodied, higher requirements, super super active, and also those 245 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: online calculators and the people that tend to set your 246 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: macro nutrient targets. It's not really something that's really based 247 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: on I guess research and science, and probably should be 248 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: adjusted quite regularly as people's weight comes down or their 249 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: training sort of differs as well. But a lot of 250 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: people will set their macros at the beginning and say, 251 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, I want to lose ten to fifteen kilos 252 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: and that never changes the entire way through. Then they 253 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: hit a plateau and they wonder why. 254 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: I really don't like my clients checking their macros. 255 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: Now. 256 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 2: Indeed, when I develop a meal plan, I've calculated the macros. 257 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: But what I find And I had a client just 258 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 2: on the weekend doing this, so she started to count herself, 259 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: so she was trying to understand what I was doing 260 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: so she could adjust based on things she wanted to eat. 261 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 2: And I think straight away this lends itself to psychological 262 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 2: management of food intake as opposed to responding to natural 263 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: hunger and fullness signals, because you're mentally calculating and eating 264 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 2: along that line, as opposed to what your body's telling you. 265 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 2: And the other issue I have with it is that 266 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 2: there's gross in accuracies in macro nutrient and calorie composition tables. 267 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: So even though it might look like it is perfect 268 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 2: and it's five grams of carbohydrate here, as you and 269 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: I both know there's a lot of inconsistencies in the databases. 270 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: It's not always completely accurate. So when people start to 271 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 2: count their macros to within a gram of recommendations, it's 272 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 2: not a healthy way of doing it. It's really in 273 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: a way promoting disordered eating because you're saying, I had 274 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 2: an extra gram of carbohydrate here, you know I need 275 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: to duck two from there, and then you might be 276 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: deducting it on a vegetable which probably doesn't really even 277 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: count anyway. So you're starting to isolate nutrition down into 278 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: individual foods and macros, when that's not really how we eat. 279 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: We eat a diet of food and the overall balance 280 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: comes from the meal patterns and the meal balance. So 281 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 2: I think it's trying to break down a behavioral pattern 282 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: of eating into numbers, and for me, it just doesn't work. 283 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: And I find it makes people really confuse. They don't 284 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 2: necessarily understand the science in the degree of being able 285 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: to balance well, and most importantly, they're not listening to 286 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: their bodies anymore. So I am really not a fan 287 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: of macro nutrient counting, even though I do do it 288 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: with for my clients myself, and the way I would 289 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 2: describe it is when you go to the accountant. I 290 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: don't want the account to tell me how to calculate 291 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: my baths. I want him to do it. So when 292 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 2: I see a dietitian, I want the dietitian to get 293 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 2: the balance right for me, as opposed to start to 294 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 2: do it yourself, because you never do it as well 295 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 2: as the accountant or the dietitian because you're not factoring 296 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 2: in all those other very so the only people and 297 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: I have seen it, I guess you're describing with bodybuilders, 298 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: they might add lollies and things. The only time I've 299 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 2: ever had to do that is with very young NRL 300 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 2: players early in their career, where they might be a 301 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: winger who weighs eighty kilos and they are six foot 302 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 2: two and they're doing two or three training sessions a day. 303 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: And those people I might send to McDonald's. You know 304 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 2: that you would never publicly state because that's how many 305 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 2: calories they're burning. But for most people, I just don't 306 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: really understand where it fits. And if anything, I think 307 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: it can do more damage because you start to, you know, 308 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 2: lend itself to indulging yourself on these foods that really 309 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: aren't healthy for us. And give yourself permission to be 310 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 2: eating them psychologically without even listening to your body in 311 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: terms of what it really really wants. So it's not 312 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 2: something I use. I think it's great to be aware 313 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 2: of it, but if someone was asking me about it, 314 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 2: I generally think it's an excuse to eat more more rubbish. 315 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 2: And you know, we all follow a diet lean all 316 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: of us ere a diet, whether we like to admit 317 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 2: it or not. But for me, a diet is about sustainability, 318 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: and it's about developing habits and patterns of eating that 319 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 2: you like, as opposed to thinking about it in your 320 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 2: head and thinking what you should be eating in numbers terms. 321 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: And that's where we sometimes feel wrong with principles like this, 322 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 2: which are asking us to calculate things. And we don't 323 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: eat according to a science. We eat according to a 324 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: behavioral pattern. 325 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: And I always say that, you know, we eat food, 326 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: we don't eat numbers, we don't eat macros. And I 327 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: think that that's the biggest downside of something like this 328 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: doesn't work well. If you look at you know, the 329 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: photos and that sort of thing online, you would think absolutely, 330 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: look at these people, they look fabulous, but looking lean 331 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: and fit, and strong, and that sort of thing isn't 332 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: necessarily an indicator of health. As you mentioned, a lot 333 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: of these super lean people aren't necessarily healthy, and a 334 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: lot of them have, you know, super low iron levels, 335 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: they've got you know, chronic and autoimmune diseases. Just because 336 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: somebody looks a certain way and follows a certain diet 337 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: pattern doesn't necessarily mean that they're healthy. And so I 338 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: think that's a really important thing to notice. Tracking your 339 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: macros is all well and good, What about your micro nutrients? 340 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: I would say that your micro nutrients matter as much, 341 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: if not more than your macro nutrients. And are you 342 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: tracking things like are you getting in enough selenium? Are 343 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: you getting in enough fol ate? No? Probably not, because 344 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: when you're putting everything into an app, you're just not 345 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: getting that diversity of foods. And again, people fall into 346 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: that rabbit hole where they're like and this is a 347 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: perfect example of my husband when I met him, he 348 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: ate the same thing for breakfast, lunch, He had a 349 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: second lunch and then dinner every single day because he 350 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: was doing flexible dieting. That's what he did. And it 351 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: was one vegetable at each meal. It was like broccoli 352 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: and then beans, We had greens twice a day. He 353 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: had chicken, he had turkey, and I think he had 354 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: either chicken or beef for dinner. And breakfast was like 355 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: this high protein nudugrain sort of cereal with milk, and 356 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: that was it, And that was his start because it perfectly. 357 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: He had perfectly calculated his macros on a daily basis 358 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: based on what a fitness coach had told him. Then 359 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: I came in and he started dating me. Here this 360 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: is years ago, and I just plipped on its head 361 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: because we shouldn't eat the same thing every day, and 362 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: just because it can calculated in an app doesn't necessarily 363 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: mean that that's healthy. He'll probably kill me for saying 364 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: the story on him. 365 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: Oh he knew he was alive when he met you. 366 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, doesn't mean it's true health. You know. See that's mine, 367 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: that's my specimen. 368 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: Ever. Now you fell badly in love with someone who 369 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: gave him all the dietary information he wanted for free. 370 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely, it works. First ways, he reads all of my 371 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: contracts and that sort of thing, because he's a good 372 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: lawyer and I do all his nutrition works well. 373 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: Shouting out to David. We love David, but. 374 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, just because that's the bottom line I think for me, 375 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: like macro nutrients of course are important, but don't forget 376 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: about your micronutrients. They're so so important, and when you're 377 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: just tracking macros, your micronutrients go out the windows. So 378 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: you will probably end up deficient in quite a lot 379 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: of things. If you notice that your hair's falling out, 380 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: your period's becoming a lot more irregular, you're waking up 381 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: exhausted despite hitting your macros every day. Is that health 382 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: and are they true markets of health? Probably not. Probably 383 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: a good thing to sort of reassess what you're actually doing. 384 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 2: And they're very rough, those macro nutrient encounters. They're very, 385 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: very rough. They're not overly accurate. So take it with 386 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: a grain of salt and use it as a general 387 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 2: guide as opposed to thinking that this is an excuse 388 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 2: to eat a maths bar every day. It sounds too 389 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: good to be true, as we always say. All right, well, 390 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 2: moving on. A case study that has presented for us 391 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 2: recently is a little bit about hunger, but not we've 392 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 2: spoken before, Leanne about getting in touch with your hunger 393 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 2: to guide your food choices. That is incredibly, incredibly important, 394 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 2: but something that comes up a lot for some of 395 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 2: my clients is constant hunger, and sometimes I will start 396 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: someone on their plan and their feedback very quickly is 397 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: that they can do it, but they're feeling really hungry, 398 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 2: and that kind of incessant hung go where they can't 399 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 2: stop thinking about food and they're obsessed and they're eating 400 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: their dinner at four thirty. And this for me is 401 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 2: a big, big concern, but it's very, very common, so 402 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 2: we did think it was a really good opportunity to 403 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: talk it through. Now physiologically, if you're consuming a well 404 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: balanced meal that ticks the box on your macro nutrient 405 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 2: but is also really micro calorie load, So you know, 406 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 2: you have a lunch that's got some salad or soup, 407 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 2: and then a sandwich you'll rat with a decent amount 408 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: of protein, or perhaps some leftover dinner that's got again 409 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 2: a serve of lean meat and lots of veggies and 410 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 2: a little bit of good quality carbohydrates from some sweet 411 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 2: potato or some brown rice. That meal that might clock 412 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 2: in between three to five hundred calories for the average person, 413 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 2: should in theory keep you full for at least three 414 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 2: to four hours. So as soon as I have developed 415 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 2: a plan, or clients are eating reasonably well balanced meals, 416 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: if they're feeling hungry within an hour or two after 417 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 2: consuming that meal, I'm a bit worried because it's telling 418 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: me that something's not quite right with the way they're 419 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 2: processing their hunger or potentially their hormones. So Indeed, with 420 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,239 Speaker 2: some hormonial conditions like insulin resistance, because insulin is not 421 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 2: metabolizing carbohydrate overly effectively, you can have quite fluctuating glucose 422 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 2: levels which can really drive that incessant need for sweet food. Indeed, 423 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 2: it can be behavioral if you have programmed to eat 424 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 2: every couple of hours. Indeed, the brain will seek out 425 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 2: that stimulation if you are consuming inadequate amounts of carbohydrates. 426 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 2: So if you're actively cutting your carbohydrates out, So for example, 427 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: you might have had an omelet for breakfast with no 428 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: other fuel, no toast, or you might have had a 429 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: chin a salad for lunch with no carbohydrate added. Indeed, 430 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 2: it's not uncommon to get those sugar cravings an hour 431 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 2: or two, So incessant hunger is a sign that you 432 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 2: do need to have a step back and say, why 433 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 2: am I not getting the satisfaction and fullness. But in 434 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 2: my experience, lea and the most common reason is that 435 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 2: there's hormonal issues driving it, which is an indicator to me, 436 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: I may need to get those hormones under control, or 437 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 2: that the meals they're making up or developing according to 438 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 2: what they think is balanced or healthy does not have 439 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 2: the right macro nutrient mix or balance of food groups 440 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 2: that is going to keep them full for that three 441 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: to four hours. 442 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: And I think in my experience, I would say that 443 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: the most common things when clients say I'm hungry, I'm hungry. 444 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: I'm hungry most of the time it's in the first 445 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: one to two weeks of when I start working with 446 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: a client, because the portions and the meals that I'm 447 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: giving them they're just not used to, Like we've just 448 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: flipped things on their head, Like I've pulled the carbohydrates 449 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: to half of what they're having. I've do the amount 450 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: of sales and veggies, and they've kind of got a 451 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: bit lazy and they're like, Okay, I'll hit the carves, 452 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: I'll hit the you know, the fat and the fiber, 453 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: but I didn't have enough you know, salads. Old kind 454 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: of like won't bother with that. Or something like that. 455 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: So I think that hunger for most I would say 456 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: eighty to ninety percent of my clients will stabilize within 457 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: about a week of working with me. So I think 458 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: that's just that difference in you know, the body, the hormones, 459 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: even the mind as well in terms of just doing 460 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: something a little bit different. So I think that that 461 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: constant hunger, if it's in the first week, if you're 462 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: doing something new or working with a new program or 463 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: a dietician or something like that, give it a week, 464 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,239 Speaker 1: suck it up and see how you go. And if 465 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: it's still there in the second or third week, then 466 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: it's definitely something you need to look at. When the 467 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,239 Speaker 1: second most common reason, I would say then besides, it 468 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: just needs you know, your body just it doesn't like 469 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: change necessarily, and sometimes it doesn't do that well with change. 470 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: So just give it a good week and see what happens. 471 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: And if you're still feeling hungry all of the time 472 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: in a week two or three, that's all we need 473 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: to sort of shake things up a bit. Are you 474 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: eating enough fiber? Are you eating enough protein? Most of 475 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: Australians should be having thirty grams plus a fiber a day. 476 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: I personally think, Susie, that our fiber recommendations are too low. 477 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: It's twenty five grams for healthy women and thirty grams 478 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: for healthy men. I quite often will easily have my 479 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: clients on thirty thirty five forty grams of fiber a day. 480 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: I personally think that our Australian recommendations are too low. 481 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: Just my own opinion, but I will absolutely drive up 482 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: the fiber and the protein and their meal plans. And 483 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: the other thing is for a lot of is is 484 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: it true physical hunger? It's that difference between I'm just 485 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: craving something because I know I'm you know, following a 486 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: meal plan and trying to be quote unquote good, or 487 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, it's Wednesday and I haven't had any chocolate 488 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: since Monday. Whatever it is. But it's just that emotional 489 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: drive to eat what I call head hunger, versus that 490 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: true physical hunger or that stomach hunger. So I think 491 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: that's really a big thing to ask clients. Are you 492 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: actually truly physically hungry? If I said to you, go 493 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: and have an extra veggie souper, go and grab three 494 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: or four carrots with some homas or salza, could you 495 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: do that and they're like, oh no, no, I really 496 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: just feel like some crackers. And it's like, if you've 497 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: got a driver need for an exact or certain type 498 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: of food, it's more probably that head hunger or that 499 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: emotional hunger versus that true physical hunger, because if you 500 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: were truly physically hungry, you would eat any vegetable on 501 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: the planet. I would just drink, you know, gallons of 502 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: water if I was truly physically hungry and that was 503 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: the only thing that was available. So I think it's 504 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: really important to sort of differentiate between is this true 505 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: physical hunger or stomach hunger. So I think they're probably 506 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: the two most common reasons. And I think probably the 507 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: third one is clients who are trying to do it 508 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: themselves and they just put themselves at a far too 509 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: big a deficit. I had a dam from a girl 510 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: just yesterday who was like, he's an online calculator. I 511 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: know you always say you need to be in a 512 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: deficit to lose weight. Well, my deficit was I think 513 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: it's just like oney, one hundred calories or something like that. 514 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, it's too big. And I 515 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: said why that deficit? And she said, oh, the blog 516 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: I read said it should be a five hundred cow deficit, 517 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: and I just think for too many of us, we're 518 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: just putting ourselves in two bigger deficits. Of course, we're 519 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: going to feel hungry if you're you know, she was 520 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: gaining weight beforehand. You know, she's probably on two thousand 521 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: plus calories, has now taken herself down to eleven hundred calories, 522 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: ramped up her exercise in the the process as well 523 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: because she's trying to lose weight. It's just too big. 524 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: It's too much for the body to cope with. Like 525 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: I really do think slow and steady wins the waste, 526 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: so I think not enough protein and fiber. Is this 527 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: actually true hunger? Or is this just more cravings and 528 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: that constant need or want to eat because we're so 529 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: used to it because it's a habit for us. And 530 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 1: are we in too big a deficit? They're probably the 531 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: three biggest things I think about when clients are saying 532 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm hungry and hungry, I'm hungry. 533 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 2: And I think, leading on from that, it's time of day, 534 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 2: because people start out with this intention of cutting back, 535 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: so they impose the restriction earlier in the day, so 536 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 2: they might start with an egg or two and one 537 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 2: slice of toast, so they think, right, I'm going to 538 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 2: be good. I'm going to cut down on the carbohydrates. 539 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 2: Then they skip morning tea or they just have a 540 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 2: cup of green tea because they're trying to be good, 541 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 2: and then they get to lunch and they give themselves 542 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 2: a plane tuna salad. Now what happens in my experience 543 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 2: with that is because they have restricted at the time 544 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 2: of day when they're often most physically active and need 545 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 2: the most energy, that they get a rebound hunger all afternoon, 546 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 2: and that is where you have that constant need to snack, 547 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 2: and you know at two o'clock you're hungry again, and 548 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 2: then at four o'clock it's like you can't get enough 549 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: food in. So you really want to pile the day 550 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 2: with more fuel, in particular that vegetable bulk at every meal, 551 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 2: including breakfast and lunch, and make sure that those first 552 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 2: two meals are balanced, and you will notice that your 553 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 2: hunger is a lot more in control on those days. 554 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 2: Because my argument's always been your race of good nutritions 555 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 2: one in the morning, kind of like trathlon. The race 556 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 2: is one on the bike. So if you front load 557 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 2: and get breakfast really well balanced with some veggies as well, 558 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 2: to bulk it up. A well balanced lunch that contains 559 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 2: all of your nutrient groups, you will find you won't 560 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 2: have that constant need to snack all afternoon. But you're 561 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: right because the other thing that people do in the 562 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 2: afternoon is they grab the crackers or all carbohydrate without 563 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 2: their balance of their macros and getting some protein, getting 564 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 2: some veggies, and the more of that really quickly digested 565 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 2: carbohydrate you consume, like the rice, crackers and the hommus 566 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: and those ready to eat you know, snacks, it primes 567 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 2: the brain to look for more of those really starches, 568 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 2: those really processed carbohydrates, and that drives you're overeating all afternoon. 569 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 2: So it's about getting the balance through the day helps 570 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 2: to control your hunger and in the afternoon. And when 571 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 2: a client presents and says that they're starving at five o'clock, 572 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 2: I know they haven't eaten enough in the day. So 573 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 2: it's about what's happening earlier in those meals. And inevitably, 574 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 2: when I look at food pictures or food diaries, my 575 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: constant feedback is where are the vegetables, where's the salad, 576 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,479 Speaker 2: because I might pile a whole salad with lunch or 577 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: add lots of veggies to it omelet, and my clients 578 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 2: will have nothing. They'll have a slice of tomato. So 579 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 2: it's that shift and getting that balance right through the day, 580 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 2: and that helps predict that hunger management in the in 581 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: the afternoon and then in the evening. A lot of it, 582 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: as you said's habitual. It's because we're programmed to have 583 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 2: a lot of sweet food. So it's working through that 584 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 2: and really thinking, right, the truth is, I'm not actually 585 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 2: probably hungry, it's just wanting something in my mouth. So 586 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 2: how can I have something in my mouth that's not 587 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 2: going to be too many calories? 588 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think there are quite a few, I think 589 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: different concepts that we can really look for here. So 590 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: I hope that those sort of talking points have given 591 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: our listeners something to think about, because it's going to 592 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: be different for everybody. Just because you're hungry doesn't necessarily 593 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: mean you need eat more. It doesn't necessarily mean that 594 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: you haven't eaten enough. Maybe you've eaten enough, but it's 595 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: the wrong type of food, or it's the wrong mix 596 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: of foods, or you've had just a huge leg day 597 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: at the gym, you know, and you actually need to 598 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: eat more than other days. And again, this is why 599 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: I hate it, or not that I hate I don't 600 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: encourage clients to caloriecount and macro account because most of 601 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: the time you're trying to eat the same thing every day, 602 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: but you don't do the same thing every day. And 603 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: I know, Susie, not right now because I'm pregnant. But 604 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: when I do a big leg day in the past 605 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: at the gym, I'm hungry that day, like hungry, like 606 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: I'll go breakfast, snack, snack, lunch, snacksnack, dinner, Versus if 607 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: I just go out and just do, say my ten 608 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: thousand steps for the day and that's all I do. 609 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: I can normally hold off of my break ea till 610 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: you know, around ten o'clock because I'm just not genuinely hungry. 611 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: Then go to a later lunch and then maybe have 612 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: one sack in the arbor and have dinner, and I'm 613 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: done for the day. Like my calorie lodal intake for 614 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: that day is just significantly lower than if I'm doing 615 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: a big heavy leg day in the gym, because I'm 616 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: just not burning as much and I'm just not as hungry. 617 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: So all of these things I think come into play, 618 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: but it's really it's going to come down to an 619 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: individual basis. And again we're going to plug dietitians here, 620 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: and that's why it's so important to be working with 621 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: a qualified professional because yeah, sure you can do it yourself, 622 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: but you know, I could do my tax myself, but 623 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: I'd probably be losing out on you know, hundreds or 624 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars, So you know, in terms of what 625 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: I could actually be claiming, I could attempt to fix 626 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: my calm myself, am I got to fix it? Probably not. 627 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: I could attempt to you know, clean my teeth myself 628 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: and not go to the dentist for years and years, 629 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: but eventually, I think my teeth are going to pull out. 630 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 1: So I think the need to see a professional in 631 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,959 Speaker 1: what those professionals are qualified in is so so important. 632 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: In nutrition is just one of those scary areas where 633 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: because there's so much online or because everybody eats, everybody 634 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: thinks they're an expert in nutrition. So absolutely is a 635 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: good time for us to really rate the importance of 636 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: seeing a dietitian. If you have specific goals around your nutrition. 637 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 2: And a meal should keep you full three to four hours. 638 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 2: If you're eating every hour or two, it's way too often. Definitely, 639 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 2: that's a guiding light. 640 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Now onto our most popular segment, our new and 641 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: exciting supermarket product. So a listener has sent us this 642 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: over our Instagram, Susie, which is at the Nutrition Couch podcast, 643 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: So give us a follow on Instagram if you don't already, 644 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 1: and send us your product, send us your questions in 645 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: bearing in mind that we can't give you personalized advice, 646 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: so we have had quite a lot of DMS saying 647 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: from people, Hey, Susie Leanne, this is my height, this 648 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: is my weight? How many calories should I be eating? 649 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 1: We can't give that personalized advice over Instagram, but we 650 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: are more than happy to chat about listener questions and 651 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: the different products that you send through to us as well, 652 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: so please do send them through. We've got quite a 653 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: list now, don't we, Susie. Our listeners are really enjoying 654 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: the podcast, which is amazing. But today we're chatting about 655 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: a product somebody has sent in called PEB two. So 656 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: it's essentially powdered peanut butter. So on the front of it, 657 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: the marketing says ninety percent less fat and six grams 658 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: of protein, So I mean it looks pretty good. I 659 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: think it is gluten free, and it's a vegan product 660 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: as well. So for two tablespoons of this powdered peanut butter, 661 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: it's sixty calories. It is one point five grams of fat, 662 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: so significantly lower fat than if you had two tablespoons 663 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: of actual peanut butter. It's gone ninety milligrams of sodium, 664 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: and it five grams of carbohydrates. So obviously, because peanut 665 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: butter is more of a fat, we don't expect a 666 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: huge amount of carbohydrate. A gram of fiber for the 667 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 1: two tablespoons a powder peanut butter and six grams of protein, 668 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: so six grams of proteins is a big whack in 669 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: two tablespoons and quite low calories as well, at just 670 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: sixty calories. So I've actually got some sitting in my 671 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: cupboard at the moment, SUSI, A brand I think in 672 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: the past is center to me, or I don't know, 673 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: it's ended up somehow in my cupboard. I did mention 674 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: to you because SUSI said, where do you actually buy 675 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: this from? And I said, I've seen it in my gym, 676 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: because my gym has this big fancy venue machine. They 677 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: sell you know, broccoli chips and protein cookies and all 678 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: the health kalos that we've talked about in the past. 679 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: But this is actually something that I don't consider too bad. 680 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: Actually a sort of a fan of it, SUSI, because 681 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: you can get the taste of the peanut butter in 682 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: it for a lot lower calorie, a lot higher protein. 683 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: So again, if you're in a deficit and you're trying 684 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: to lose body fat's a good option. It's nothing like 685 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: real peanut butter. I must admit. You kind of mix 686 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: it with water and it forms like a little bit 687 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: of a paste. So I've actually put it in porridge 688 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: in my prods in the morning. I've sort of put 689 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: some of this in and the taste is there, but 690 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: it's just nowhere near is concentrated in terms of the 691 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: taste as normal peanut butter would. But I guess it 692 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: is sort of what probably at least a third of 693 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: the calories that two tablespoons of normal peanut butter would be. 694 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: So I think it has a time and a place, 695 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: and it's definitely something that I'm not going to completely 696 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: discount at all, but for the right type of person, 697 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: I think it could be quite helpful. What are your thoughts. 698 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 2: This is one of the most interesting products I've ever seen, 699 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 2: and I've just had to look. Actually, it does say 700 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 2: it's available at will wet. It sells for ten dollars, 701 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 2: which is obviously significantly more than a standard peanut butter. 702 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 2: It's imported from the US, and I will disclose that 703 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,719 Speaker 2: I do. I am an ambassador for Mavers and Astray 704 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 2: in peanut butter, so I'll be very careful here. I 705 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 2: think it's really interesting because you're right, it gives people 706 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 2: an opportunity to potentially enjoy the protein rich benefits associated 707 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 2: with peanut butter with a lot less fat. It does 708 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 2: have added sugar and salt, which a number of the 709 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: peanut butter's on the market now, including the Range, don't have, 710 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 2: so there's a downside to that, and I think for 711 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 2: people who potentially are counting their fat or really love 712 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 2: the taste of it, it's an option, but you're going 713 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 2: to pay for that. You know, it's ten dollars per jar, 714 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 2: which isn't insignificant, and I just think, wow, I guess 715 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 2: the other thing going through my mind, and we haven't 716 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 2: discussed this before, Like, do you think you'd lose some 717 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 2: of the sort of antioxidant potential with some of those 718 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 2: nuts in the way that it had been processed. 719 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that the potential is definitely there, 720 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: But again, probably peanut isn't like what I would call 721 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: the healthiest type of nut or anything. Yeah, I mean 722 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: it's more about legume, isn't it than a nut? But yeah, 723 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: there are pros and cons, Like I think it sort 724 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: of falls mid range to me, Like it's not something 725 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: I highly recommend or I don't think I've ever written 726 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: it into a meal plan for a client, but I 727 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: can see that it has a place, I guess. But 728 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: you definitely do need to be using I think I 729 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: sort of originally added about a teaspoon to my approach 730 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: and I literally couldn't even taste it, So you do 731 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: have to be using quite a lot of it, like 732 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: sort of the one to two tablespoons that's recommended in 733 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: the serving size, which again the container is not actually 734 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: that big, and for ten bucks a pop, you know, 735 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: the price does add up quite a lot. 736 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 2: So just off the top of my head looking at it, 737 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 2: I'm wondering actually if it would be a reasonably good 738 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 2: ingredient for homemade bliss balls or even to bump up 739 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 2: the protein content of baking. 740 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 741 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, because if you're if I cook with peanut butter, 742 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 2: I'm often using it as a fat almost as an 743 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: alternative to having extravagin olive oil or butter. But one 744 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 2: of the issues when it comes to protein balls in 745 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 2: particular is if people don't have or want to use 746 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 2: protein powder, what's an ingredient you can get in there? 747 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 2: And I'm thinking if you were making a bliss ball, 748 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 2: I would probably use it there. I wouldn't use it 749 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 2: as an alternative to peanut butter because I think that 750 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 2: there's better one hundred percent nuts spreads out there that 751 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 2: are better to spread and things. But if I had 752 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 2: it at home, I would actually use it as a 753 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 2: base to a bliss ball as a way of getting 754 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 2: the protein in there without using protein powder. Yeah, and 755 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 2: interest because only two tablespoons. 756 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: Is almost six grams of protein, So that's atra bread 757 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: idea yea, and for only sixty calories. 758 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 2: That's how I would absolutely use that product if across 759 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 2: my path. And then compared to the cluster of protein 760 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 2: powder it's actually not too expensive because these protein powders 761 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 2: coming in at about twenty dollars per container. So yeah, 762 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 2: just off the top of my head brainstorming, that's how 763 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 2: I would actually use it in real life. If I 764 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 2: was making protein balls. Of course you can't send those 765 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 2: to school because then they have a nut base. But 766 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 2: for adults at home or why the kids are all homeschooling, 767 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 2: if you were making bliss balls, you know, you could 768 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 2: do peanut butter banana balls with that really easily. 769 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,479 Speaker 1: It would probably, I think work really well in products 770 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: like that. And also I think smoothies as well. A 771 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: lot of people again don't like to use protein powder, 772 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, I think that's absolutely fine. But 773 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: you know, smoothies are generally and again especially if you're 774 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: you know, following a vegan or a plant based life style, 775 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: you can't get a good whack of Greek yogurt in there. 776 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: You're actually going to be quite limited with your protein 777 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: if you're a plant based and b don't like adding 778 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: protein powder. So I think this is a really good 779 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: option to get a little bit more protein into something 780 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: like a smoothie as well. So I do think it 781 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: definitely you know. I think the perkose of it is 782 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: the six grams of protein for only sixty calories. I 783 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: think that's amazing, particularly for people following a plant based 784 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: lifestyle with the love of the fibers a little bit higher, 785 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: but you know, Lisa's a gram in there. But I 786 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: think overall it's it's a medium sized product that we 787 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: could recommend. I definitely recommend it. I wouldn't I wouldn't 788 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: shy away and say it's not recommended. But I think 789 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: it has a time and a place, and for the 790 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: right type of person, I think it could actually be 791 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: quite beneficial. 792 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 2: Absolutely for plant based arts. You write breakfast smoothies, great 793 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 2: choice and I might have a play with it and 794 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 2: some bliss balls actually, but that's exactly where old I 795 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 2: would use it. So if you've used it, we would 796 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 2: love to hear from you post your recipes or experience 797 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 2: with it. But I think we will continue to see 798 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 2: more and more of these food products that are almost 799 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 2: novel to compliment the diets that we will have. But 800 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 2: that's a US product. It wouldn't surprise me if we 801 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 2: see it astray and one. 802 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: I think there are a few Australian brands, Yeah, this 803 00:34:41,680 --> 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 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: But I think there are a few different brands on 806 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: the market. The one in the veting machine at my 807 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: gym is definitely a different brand. I mean, I've seen 808 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: a chocolate version of this as well, so it's powdered 809 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: pebe and chocolate together, So I think they're almost trying 810 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: to make some sort of like healthy inteller or something 811 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: like that for it. So I think again, you know, 812 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: there's a few different flavor combos there as well, so definitely, yeah, 813 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 1: a few interesting and exciting products coming to the supermarket. 814 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't mind this one overall. And I 815 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 1: do think, as we mentioned, from someone following a plant 816 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: based lifestyle or trying to keep their fats or their 817 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,919 Speaker 1: calories overall quite low, it can definitely have a time 818 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: and a place very interesting. 819 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 2: My good find good find all Right, Well, for our 820 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 2: final segment of the week, we had a great listener 821 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 2: question come up about probiotics, and if we're honest, we 822 00:35:27,760 --> 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 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 2: The question was a general one about should we be 825 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 2: taking probiotics for general health now nutritionally, when we have 826 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 2: a look at the research, there's some specific dietary areas 827 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 2: that are proven to have a beneficial effect of probiotics. 828 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,719 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 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 2: them in fermented foods, so you often see them as 831 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 2: part of yogurts or even probiotic shots like You're coolt, 832 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 2: and we see them in more and more of our 833 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 2: foods in general to support my gut help. So specifically 834 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 2: then that the areas of nutritional science I'm aware of 835 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 2: that have been shown to have proven effects of probiotics 836 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,400 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 alternative colitis, diverticulitis. I know there's some evidence 838 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 2: to help reduce collig in infants and babies. 839 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: Is there any other. 840 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 2: Key areas that you're aware of from the research that 841 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 2: are proven to have benefit from using probiotics. 842 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: The collecting the babies is a great one. The alternative 843 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 1: colitis is again very strong research to support that has 844 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, as much chances remission as what some of 845 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: the steroids do. Traveler's diarrhea is a big one if 846 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: you're overseas and you know something like Barley Belly, the. 847 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 2: Spen, the Gold days. 848 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, pretty lucky enough to travel to somewhere like 849 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: Barley these days, travelers diarrhea absolutely antibiotic associated diarrhea. So 850 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: in the hospital system there's a terrible type of antibotic 851 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: related diarrhea called SEEDEDIFF. So there's really really strong research 852 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: for some a specific strain of prodic to help with SEEDEDIFF. 853 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: And there's a little little bit of emerging evidence around 854 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: ibs and some constipation, and also a tiny bit of 855 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: evidence I found around mastatists. But I think you know, 856 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 1: by the town you got masst artists, I think you're, yeah, 857 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,359 Speaker 1: you're probably not wanting to really do too much rather 858 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: than just get those antibotics and as fast as you 859 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,240 Speaker 1: can to help you out. So yeah, there is definitely 860 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: some specific health conditions, but with probotics, it is absolutely 861 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: around the strain that needs to be research to support 862 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: the strain, the amount and the type as well that 863 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: you're having. So I think that there's a few things 864 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: to think about for probotics, but for general health. If 865 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: you wanted a black and white answer, my answer would 866 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 1: be no, I don't think that probotics are needed for 867 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 1: general health. In a capsule form, I think we can 868 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: take probotics in our foods. But what's more important, and 869 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: we have research to support this, Suzi, is that probotics 870 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: for general health matter far more than what proverdics do. 871 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: So our proverdex are a good bacteria. Our probotics are 872 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 1: the things that feed our good bacteria, so they create 873 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: fuel for our gut health, and probotics can naturally help 874 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,439 Speaker 1: to strengthen our gut lining and our gut health as well. 875 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: So there's not enough research for probotics and general health. 876 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: But the way we should be putting our focus is 877 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: on naturally occurring probotics and for a lot of people 878 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: with gut health issues in ibs, there are a lot 879 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: of our high FORODMAPP foods, so I think just be 880 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: really careful. But we don't absolutely want to cut out 881 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: probotics in general, even though they might trigger us and 882 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: cause a few symptoms. We still want to include as 883 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: much as possible and as much diversity as possible into 884 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: small amounts, even if it's sort of every second day 885 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: as you can, because the research is really strong for 886 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: general health and probotics, not so much of probotics just 887 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: for those specific health conditions we mentioned. 888 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 2: And when it comes to probiotics, I much prefer my 889 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,399 Speaker 2: clients are consuming them in whole natural foods as much 890 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 2: as possible anyway, So plain Greek yogat that is not 891 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 2: Greek style yogat, which is different, but actually good quality 892 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 2: Greek yogurt, which is the one that doesn't taste as 893 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 2: sweet or fermented vegetables you know in sour crowd and 894 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 2: miso and foods like that. So I think when you're 895 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 2: ticking the box on those what we call superfoods that 896 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,320 Speaker 2: have pack full of nutrition in general and great daily additions, 897 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 2: I definitely don't retain recommend people go and pay for 898 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 2: extra probiotics for all of these reasons. Plus there are 899 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 2: another expense, and I would rather my clients are spending 900 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 2: on good quality fresh fruit and vegetables and increasing the load. 901 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 2: As we know, the wider the range of those products, 902 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 2: the better our range of gut microbiome is anyway, So 903 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 2: it comes down always to me to a good quality 904 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 2: yogur and things like that, just to be ticking the 905 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 2: box when you're with your daily food choices rather than 906 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:24,720 Speaker 2: popping another pill. 907 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I just think that it's really going to 908 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: be sort of the one to five percent of your diet. 909 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 1: Like if you're taking a probody hoping to improve your 910 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: gut health and your diet is crap, you're not going 911 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: to get anywhere, do you know what I mean? Like, 912 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: the foundations of a good diet are going to make 913 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: up eighty five to ninety percent of what needs to 914 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: be done, and supplementation on top of that. We always 915 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: says dieticians may be one to five percent benefit that 916 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: you're going to get there. But the problem is we 917 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: all want the miracle and the pill. We all want 918 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 1: to pop something and hope that it helps, rather than 919 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: actually do the hard work and reduce our stress and 920 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: focus on sleep and focus on eating more whole foods 921 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: so much that goes into a holistic, healthy lifestyle. And 922 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: I can promise you that probotics would be maybe five 923 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 1: percent of benefit for the majority of people, unless, of course, 924 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 1: we're talking about those specific health conditions, and if you 925 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: did have one of those specific health conditions such as 926 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 1: inflammatory baladices or antibodic associated diarrhea. Absolutely crucial to touch 927 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 1: base with either your DP but probably more importantly your 928 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: dietician because they will know the exact strain and the 929 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: exact type of probotic. If you had, you know, a 930 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: bit of Barley Valians some travelers diarrhea. You're not just 931 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: going to go and grab a random probatic at the chemist. 932 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: You're going to want an exact strain and an exact 933 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: amount of that to take, and an exact time frame 934 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: as well. So again you're not wasting your money, You're 935 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: getting the true benefits which are proven in the research. 936 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: So I think that there is, you know, some really 937 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: great emerging science around probotics, but I think for general health, 938 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: majority of people probably not needed. Absolutely focus on probotics 939 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: from food first, and also your probotics from naturally occurring 940 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 1: foods as well. Alrighty, Susie, that brings us to the 941 00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: end of Nutrition Couch for another week. I'm more sad 942 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: on it comes to an end, but I do think 943 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,399 Speaker 1: we cover so much content. I mean it's been nearly 944 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: forty minutes, so I think we've done pretty well this week. 945 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 2: We try to keep our times to thirty, but we're not. 946 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 2: We're failing dismally every week, so we're sorry. 947 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,879 Speaker 1: Some of these things we could talk about for longer 948 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: and longer and longer, but we do try to cap 949 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: ourselves so that it is a nice short shot podcast 950 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,280 Speaker 1: for you guys, and we can cover a lot of topics. 951 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: So if you haven't done so already, we appreciate it 952 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 1: so much.
