1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: How much water do you drink each day? Do you 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: have two liters or the recommended six to eight glasses, 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 1: or do you try and drink as much as possible? 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: Or maybe you already know that you are drinking nowhere 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: near enough and feel that it is impacting your health 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: and maybe even your weight. On today's episode of The 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: Nutrition Couch, we chat all things water and health and 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: share how much you really should be drinking. 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Cusie. 10 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: Burrell and Emily and Wood and each week we bring 11 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: you The Nutrition Couch, the weekly podcast that keeps you 12 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: up to date on everything you need to know in 13 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: the world of nutrition as well as water. Today we 14 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: are going to delve into the world of intuitive eating 15 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: and give our honest thoughts on this growing movement. We 16 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: found a budget friendly Schnitzel option that we both love, 17 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: and our listener question is all about the evidence for 18 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: bone broth. So I'm going to hand over to you 19 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: straight away, Alien, because this is a topic that, certainly 20 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: in my career as a dietitian, has grown exponentially and 21 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: it's the idea of a non diet intuitive eating approach, 22 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: and we see it reasonably frequently on mainstream media and 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: I guess one of the reasons that you and I 24 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: haven't previously spoken a lot about it is our real 25 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: interest is women and specifically weight And in saying that, 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: we have surveyed our listener pool on the Nutrition Couch 27 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: and we're pretty close to hitting five million downloads, So 28 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: this is not an insignificant number of people that we've 29 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: spoken to, and I think it came back at ninety 30 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: seven percent of our audience was interested in weight control. 31 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: So we practice clinically with women working on their fat 32 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: loss and weight control goals. It's not that we think 33 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: weight is everything, it's just our basically our area of expertise. 34 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: You know, we've always worked with people, whether it's in 35 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: sports nutrition or with women and overall health and well being, 36 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: and a big part of that for women is being 37 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: able to not only lose weight, but even just control weight, 38 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: particularly as we move through the different stages of the lifespan. 39 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: But for a number of reasons, there is an intro 40 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: trust in a non diet approach, or some may call 41 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: intuitive eating approach, So we thought it was time to 42 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: maybe have a little bit of a chat about what 43 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: it is where it fits for us, And you know, 44 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: I guess maybe signs that information or it may be 45 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: for you or you'd like to hear more about it, 46 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: and I guess the pros and comes from our perspective. 47 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: Is that a fair introduction? 48 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 3: Yeah? 49 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 4: I think so, because I mean, like you said, we 50 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 4: were both diet issuans who predominantly work with women for 51 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 4: fat loss. 52 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 3: That's what we do. 53 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 4: And I think I've seen a lot of intuitive eating 54 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 4: online promoted in social media. A lot of my clients 55 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 4: ask me about or they might come to me and 56 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 4: they'll say, Leanne, I really am interested in intuitive eating 57 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 4: and I'd like to lose ten kilos. So I think 58 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 4: it's we need to make it very clear from the 59 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 4: outset that intuitive eating is not a diet. It is 60 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 4: not supposed to be something that leads or that you 61 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 4: use in combination with losing weight. It may as almost 62 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 4: like a byproduct, promote some weight loss, but in my 63 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 4: experience it doesn't really. It's more towards weight maintenance, or 64 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 4: it's a philosophy, so it's essentially a style of eating 65 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 4: that or a philosophy of eating that helps you to 66 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 4: tune into your body a little bit more. 67 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: I love intuitive eating. 68 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 4: I think it's a beautifully powerful principle, but I find 69 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 4: it very difficult to use. If a client has all 70 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 4: needs to or wants to lose weight, you cannot intuitively 71 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 4: eat for a body that is ten, fifteen, twenty kilos 72 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 4: less because when you're intuitively listening to your body versus 73 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 4: trying to drop body fat, which you know you need 74 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 4: to strategically eat in a calorie deficit to do, those 75 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 4: two things don't marry up. They don't really go hand 76 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 4: in hand. So what I tend to do, Susie is 77 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 4: work with my clients trying to develop that healthy relationship 78 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 4: with food, help them achieve the Fallost goals, and then 79 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 4: afterwards transition them more to an intuitive style of eating. 80 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 4: Once they're a little bit more aware of their body, 81 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 4: their hunger cues, what their portions are like. Then even 82 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 4: just those feelings of fullness or you know, a lot 83 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 4: of people will eat past that feeling of being comfortable. 84 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 4: So really they're the types of things I work on. 85 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 4: So almost try to bring in a little bit of 86 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 4: intuitive eating, but after we've been working together for a 87 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 4: few months so that they're a little bit more aware 88 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 4: of those hunger fullness sensations, because that's Essentially what intuitive 89 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 4: eating is, it's letting your body recognize its own internal 90 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 4: cues of hunger and fullness. But the issue that I 91 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 4: have not that I have any issue with it, Susie like, 92 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 4: it's completely. 93 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 3: Fine to do. 94 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 4: But what I find is very, very difficult for my 95 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 4: clients to do is that if there's someone who has 96 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 4: a background of say yo yo darting, or you know, 97 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 4: they've been trying to lose and regain the same sort 98 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 4: of ten twenty kilos for the past decade or so, 99 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 4: they're very out of touch with their body's natural hunger 100 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 4: fullness cues. So it's really difficult to say to somebody 101 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 4: who doesn't really ever feel hungry, well, eat a meal 102 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 4: what your body feels like, and then stop eating when 103 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 4: you're full. Because I have a lot of clients who 104 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 4: just really never experience that hunger or fullness throughout the day, 105 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 4: or will just eat and eat neat and they don't 106 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 4: recognize that fullness cue until they've almost had too much, 107 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 4: and then they go, oh, I'm really full, I should 108 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 4: probably stop eating, Whereas we want them to take it 109 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 4: kind of backwards a few steps from there. So I 110 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 4: do work a lot with my clients on this, but 111 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 4: I also sort of incorporated, I guess as part of 112 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 4: giving them some structure and some guidelines around the portions 113 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 4: that are right for their body to begin with, Like 114 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 4: I create very personalized recipes. I say, I want you 115 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 4: to eat this, it's in the right portions for your body. 116 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 4: So we almost do the opposite of what intuitive eating is. 117 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 4: Like I guess, I give them structure and guidance around 118 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 4: the portions. They learn those portions, they relearn the hunger 119 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 4: fullness cues. Like they say to me, the dinner was 120 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 4: really yummy. I could definitely eat more. And I say, great, 121 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 4: but do you feel satisfied? And they say, yeah, actually 122 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: I could eat more. I'm like, I appreciate you could 123 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 4: eat more, but we don't necessarily need you to eat more, 124 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 4: because A the goal is fat loss, and B I 125 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 4: want you eating until you're kind of, you know, eighty 126 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 4: percent satisfied, not one hundred percent stuffed, because so many 127 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 4: of us are used to over eating, particularly a really. 128 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: Large dinner based meal. 129 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 4: We the bolkwack color is at nighttime, we eat until 130 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 4: we're over full. So it's an interesting I guess philosophy. 131 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 4: I know a lot of dietitians specialize in it, and 132 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 4: the basics is basically that it just helps promote a 133 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 4: better attitude towards food and really help you in time 134 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 4: appreciate your natural hunger and fullness. 135 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: I guess mechanisms. 136 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 4: So I am a big fan of it, But I 137 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 4: do think you're kind of either a weight loss dietitian 138 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 4: or you're either an intuitive eating dietitian. I kind of 139 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 4: like to find that little bit of a gray area 140 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 4: in between, and I kind of use a little bit 141 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 4: of both styles in my own practice, which is a 142 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 4: little bit cheeky, I guess because people are pretty black 143 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 4: and white, particularly most dietitians, they are either weight loss 144 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 4: or they're intuitor beating focus, and I think we can 145 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 4: kind of transition between both without getting to I guess 146 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 4: black and white about it. 147 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: That's sort of how I'm. 148 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 4: Feeling so far. Do you do you kind of, you know, 149 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 4: refer clients to intuitive eating practitioners. 150 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 3: How do you feel about it? 151 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: What's really tricky? 152 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: I think because one of the reasons that people will 153 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: come to see a dietitian, whether it's for sports nutrition 154 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: or energy hormone balance, fertility weight loss, is because they 155 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: need guidance, and it's all nice and touch you feely 156 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: to talk about food. 157 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: And you should be able to eat whatever you like. 158 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: But I guess it comes down to a belief system 159 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: around that where I think in many cases we are 160 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: able to eat so much and so much food is 161 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: freely available that without guidance, it can be very difficult 162 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: for people to know the baseline of what is healthy 163 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: eating or volumes and portions. And I guess, specifically working 164 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: with weight, a lot of people who are struggling with 165 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,559 Speaker 1: weight control have underlying hormonal issues which are driving that weight. 166 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: So it might be install resistance, it might be pcos, 167 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: it might be thorough dysfunction, so their natural physiology has 168 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: been altered, and so they don't have a good grasp 169 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: about what they should have intuitively. So, for example, with 170 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: interest resistance, you will always crave more sweet food because 171 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: your natural hormones are not working. 172 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: As they should be. 173 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: So if I said to my clients, what do you 174 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: feel like eating, They'll say, I want something sweet after lunch. 175 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: So if I said to them, sure, you can have 176 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: something sweet after lunch, because intuitively it's what you feel like, 177 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: I would argue it's not intuition it's hormones. So I 178 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: think weight control, in particular fat losses is very complicated, 179 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: and for me, the principle is idealistic and nice in theory, 180 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: but it doesn't translate to practice. You know, keep in 181 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: mind ly and that sixty percent of austrain adults are 182 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: overweight or obese. Now there is no doubt that the 183 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: majority of those people will benefit from a health perspective, 184 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: and often personally they want to lose weight and have 185 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: an interest and desire. And I struggle to understand how 186 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: that idea of the body naturally knows what it wants 187 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: and we should listen, and how that translates into that outcome. 188 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: So to me, it's a theoretical model, and particularly I 189 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: guess for people who perhaps have struggled with eating disorders 190 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: disordered eating, perhaps it's a model there that gets people 191 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: back into a healthy relationship with food. And certainly, as 192 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: you've described, there's people who work in that area. But 193 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: I know that most of my clients are interested and 194 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: desperate for structure and to be told how to eat 195 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: to achieve the goals they have for their health and 196 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: their body. And I don't necessarily use a whole lot 197 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: of intuitive eating. Oh sure, we'll ask clients what they 198 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: enjoy eating, how they can achieve a balance between more 199 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: indulgent foods. But you know, intuitive to what what is 200 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: that based on what you've been programmed to have or 201 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: what you have told is more desirable food. I really 202 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: struggle in reality to understand how it translates into outcome. 203 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: And you know, certainly clients i've may have had that 204 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: kind of appointment, but it certainly hasn't given them the 205 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: structure they need long term. So I think it's just 206 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: different strokes folk. You know, It's like medically, some people 207 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: respond well to meditation, some people prefer surgery. 208 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: It's just different things. 209 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: But certainly, the way that I work in weight management 210 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: is much more structured and about starting with the person 211 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: and building a regime for them, rather than having this 212 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: idealistic view that people should be able to have what 213 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: they like and body is health at any size. And 214 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 1: there's some of those things I think are pretty complicated 215 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: and I don't necessarily agree with them, and. 216 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 4: I think I guess just to give out listeners a 217 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 4: little bit more of a background on what intuitive eating is, 218 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 4: because I agree with you, like you said, it's what 219 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 4: you prefer and what your lifestyle needs, and you know 220 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 4: even what your background where you've come from, because, like 221 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 4: you said, if you're someone who's had a really long 222 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: history with dieting, eating disorders, disordered eating, this could be 223 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 4: absolutely the thing that you need in your life that 224 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 4: helps bring you peace, that helps you achieve a better 225 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 4: relationship with food. 226 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 3: So it's no right or wrong. 227 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 4: It's not like you have to do one thing or another, 228 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 4: but it just might be this is the thing that 229 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 4: you've been looking for. 230 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 3: So let me tell our listeners a little bit more 231 00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 3: about it. 232 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 4: And it's absolutely up to you to decide if this 233 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 4: is something that you feel like would work really well 234 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 4: for you, and then if so, really establishing a practitioner 235 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 4: who is you know, really highly skilled and trained in 236 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 4: this area, because like Susie and I said, we are 237 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 4: predominantly weight management. It is not something that if a 238 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 4: client came to mean is that I want to eat intuitively, 239 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 4: I would refer them on to another type of dietisian. 240 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 4: Whereas I guess when I said earlier on that I 241 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 4: use some elements of intuitive eating, Really what I mean 242 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 4: is I think I use a lot of elements of 243 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 4: you know, mindful eating in getting in tune with your body, 244 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 4: but not the entire concept of intuity eating. I really 245 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 4: don't believe that intuitive eating and weight loss can go together. 246 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 4: I do believe that they're sort of different concepts, and 247 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 4: they're different things that will suit different people as well. 248 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 4: So the term intuitive eating was coined back in nineteen 249 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 4: ninety five, and it was a book written by Evelyn 250 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 4: Trimball and Elease Reefs, And what they did is they 251 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 4: essentially coined ten key principles of intuitive eating. 252 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 3: So the first principle was to reject. 253 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 4: The diet mentality, and intuitive eating is definitely very anti 254 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 4: diet focused, and I would argue that any dietitian is 255 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 4: anti diet focused anyway. 256 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 3: I don't know any. 257 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 4: Dietitians that are pro strict restrictive diet, so I think 258 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 4: that we're all anti diet mentality. But I guess that 259 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 4: line becomes a little bit blurred when you're putting in 260 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 4: a little bit of structure and regimes into a client's 261 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 4: diart with you know, portions and that sort of thing, 262 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 4: versus being able to eat freely any foods and any 263 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 4: portions that you want. So the first principle is rejecting 264 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 4: the diet mentality. The second principle is honoring your hunger 265 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 4: and feeding your body when you get those hunger cues. 266 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 4: The third principle is to make peace with food, which 267 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 4: you know would be a really powerful principle, particularly if 268 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 4: you have a poor relationship with food or you've struggled 269 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 4: for many years with an eating disorder or disordered eating. 270 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 4: The fourth principle is to challenge the food police. So essentially, 271 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 4: what they're saying is that no food is good or bad, 272 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 4: and challenge those thoughts that tell you otherwise. Number five 273 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 4: is to respect your fullness and listen for those signals 274 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 4: that you begun to feel full. Number six is discover 275 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 4: the satisfaction factor, so making sure that your eating experiences 276 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 4: is enjoyable and the foods that you're eating are tasty 277 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 4: and that they feel good to you and it's a 278 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 4: pleasurable experience when you are eating. Number seven is to 279 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 4: honor your feelings without using food. So really emotional eating 280 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 4: is a strategy for coping with feelings, but finding ways 281 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 4: that unrelated to food to deal with your feelings. Number 282 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 4: eight is respecting your body, you know, not criticizing it, 283 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 4: but respecting it for everything that it can do, realizing 284 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 4: that it's beautiful, it's capable, it's able to do. 285 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: Everything you need it to do. 286 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 4: Principal number nine is around exercise, so finding ways to 287 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 4: move your body that you enjoy. And Principal number ten 288 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 4: is to honor your health with gentle nutrition. So the 289 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 4: food that you eat should taste good and it should 290 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 4: make you feel good as well. So ten, I guess 291 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 4: structured principles when it comes to intuitive eating. So it's 292 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 4: definitely not a diet. It's a I guess what would 293 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 4: you call it? A philosophy of eating that can be 294 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 4: incredibly helpful and incredibly powerful for a lot of clients. 295 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 4: And I would argue that a lot of dietitians take 296 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 4: elements of intuitive eating. I certainly do, and I know 297 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 4: you do as well as Susie, to utilize in your 298 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 4: own practice. But if you ask someone who strongly would 299 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 4: like to investigate more what intuitive eating is, how it 300 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 4: might help you, How it might improve your relationship with food, 301 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 4: or help you get off the yo yo dieting bandwagging, 302 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 4: or you know, stop feeling guilty about food. Perhaps it's 303 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 4: time that you sought out a practitioner who sort of 304 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 4: specializes in intuitive eating. And I do actually have a 305 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 4: wonderful dietitian Susu who's a registered eating disort, a dietitian 306 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 4: who I interviewed on my own podcast, the LeAnn Ward 307 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 4: Nutrition Podcast. Her name is Abby, and the episode is 308 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 4: a recent one. It's titled making Friends with Food. So 309 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 4: Abby and I really talk all about intuitive eating, what 310 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 4: it is and how it might be helpful for some people. 311 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 4: So if that is something that I listen is interested in, 312 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 4: they can go and check out that episode with Abby 313 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 4: on the leand Wood Nutrition Podcast. 314 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: True, but when you go through that list, they're things 315 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: that we talk about all the time. Listen to your 316 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: body with fullness, get back in touch with hunger ex 317 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: you know. So I find it a little bit wishy 318 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: washy because we talk about all of those things too. 319 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: I think it comes in some cases from a belief 320 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: that anyone who is involved in specific diet prescription is 321 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: imposing restrictive beliefs. And that is not the case, because 322 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: I would say seven out of eight of those principles 323 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: that you read out we do anyway, because we're good 324 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: clinicians who work with patients or people for a really 325 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: long time, So I think for me, it just reiterates 326 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: it's a theoretical concept and a good dietitian as you know, 327 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: not to blow our own horm but you know, people 328 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: who are very good clinicians will do a lot of 329 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: those naturally, because we want our clients to develop a 330 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: good relationship with food, of course we do. 331 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 2: So, Yeah, I think it's interesting. 332 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: So I have a listened to that that Leanne has 333 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: on the M More Nutrition because you can sort of 334 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: get some more information. And I think a lot of 335 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: our listeners who have had a history with dieting but 336 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: are also trying to achieve the goal of weight control 337 00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: or fat loss will find the balance quite interesting. Onto water, now, 338 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: I think there is a commonly held belief that if 339 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: you don't drink enough water it will negatively impact your 340 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: weight control efforts. 341 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 2: Or actually do damage to your body. 342 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: Because when I'm sort of talking to a client assessing 343 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: a diet, they will very quickly also go into great 344 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: detail about their water consumption and they'll always say, I 345 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: don't drink enough water. 346 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: I don't drink enough water. 347 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: So I thought, I don't think we've actually discussed this 348 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: on the potty either, And I just wanted to go 349 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: into the science of fluid in our diets and what 350 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: it does do, but also what it doesn't do, because 351 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: I think there's a bit of misbellef aout having more 352 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: water can actually achieve. So the human body is seventy 353 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: percent water. All of our cells are made up on it. 354 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: That's why when you've been out and had a few 355 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: drinks you look a bit puffy and dehydrated because you 356 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: will have lost some of that fluid. So hence the 357 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: recommendation to drink a certain amount each day. Now, like 358 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: all recommendations, the range of fluid people need is very 359 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: very different. As you can imagine, a six foot five 360 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: athlete who trains to hours a day in a hot 361 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: climate is going to need a lot more than a 362 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: five foot nothing female in winter in Sydney. You know, 363 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: it's really dependent on physiology. But as a rough rule 364 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: of thumb, the recommendation is to have between thirty five 365 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: and forty five millileds of fluid for every kilo of 366 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: body weight. So if we put that just quickly into 367 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: the calculator, that can range anywhere from you know, if 368 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: you're a small female who's weighing sixty kilos you know, 369 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: a couple of liters. 370 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 2: But that isn't just water. 371 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: Remember that you get fluid from the food that you 372 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: consume as well. You get fluid from if you have 373 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: a cup of tea, lots of different liquids. So it's 374 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: a very very rough guide, and that's where the recommendations 375 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: for sort of a lider and a half two lids 376 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: for the average person come from. But the first myth 377 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: I want to dispel is that if you don't reach 378 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: two liters of fluid a day, it's not going to 379 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: impact your weight. So weight is dependent on calorie intake, 380 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: energy metabolism, but having more water doesn't help fat loss. 381 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 2: That is a complete myth. 382 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: What we do know is if you drink icy cold water, 383 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: you burn a few extra calories after consuming it, as 384 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: the body works hard to increase body temperature with that 385 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: cold fluid. 386 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 2: But it's minimal overall. So what it. 387 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: Does do if you're dehydrated, it tends to impact your 388 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: digestive system. And sometimes if people come and they're not 389 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: going to the bathroom as regularly and they may not 390 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: be having enough fluid, because you need fluid to move 391 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: waste through the digestive system efficiently. 392 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 2: So that's what it may do. 393 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: So you may feel more bloated, more heavy in the 394 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: gut if you haven't had enough fluid, and hence the 395 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: link to weight, but it certainly is not directly linked 396 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: to fat loss, and it's just basically in theory, will 397 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: make you feel better. So there's studies to show that 398 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: if you're optimally hydrated, you can be more alert, you 399 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: can recover quickly after exercise, your skin will look better, 400 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: it won't be as dry. So it's more of that 401 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: physiological practical outcome that comes from drinking enough fluid. But 402 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: for all the people out there who don't like water, 403 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: you do get fluid from as we've said, high water 404 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: content fruits, vegetables, So seeing things like soup at the 405 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: moment can be a really good way to keep hydrated. 406 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: Even cup of tea. You know, you get a reasonably 407 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: the net fluid from a cup of tea outweighs the 408 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: negatives of not having it, so it certainly doesn't have 409 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: to be plain water. There are always a lot of 410 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: questions around sparkling water and soda water, and whilst you 411 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: get a very very small amount of mineral salts from 412 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: soda water, there's really no negatives to it unless you 413 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: bloat if you prefer it sparkling, if you prefer it 414 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: soda water, I don't have any problems with that. If 415 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: you don't like plain water, I'd say, I don't mind 416 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: the tea, as I said instead. Another question I had 417 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: recently was a client asked me if they could put 418 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: diet right cordial into their water, and it took me 419 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 1: back to the eighties, where we drink cordial all the time. 420 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: I don't ever hardly see it now now. The reason 421 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: I said no to my client in that instance was 422 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: that it is artificially sweetened, and we do if we're 423 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: adding flavor to water, do you encourage people to add 424 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: a natural source of sweetness? So for example that often 425 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: clients will ask me about the Mount frank On sparkling, 426 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: and I again don't have an issue with that because 427 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: they're low sugar, they don't have actual sugars added, and 428 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: there's a growing range of those beverages that have sort 429 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,479 Speaker 1: of a non sugar additive to it. And again, if 430 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: that means you're going to drink fluid, I don't have 431 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: a problem with that. And I usually say leam because 432 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: all the ladies know who are in their forties who 433 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: have had a natural childbirth. One of the issues is 434 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: if you drink a lot of fluid, you spend a 435 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: lot of time in the bathroom, and that's not always 436 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: practical for busy women. So I usually say, rather than 437 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: just spending all day peeing, sometimes you better time it 438 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: and perhaps try and get through a five six hundred 439 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: meal bottle through the morning, closer to lunch, throughout the 440 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: late afternoon, so you can time it so you're not 441 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: going to the toilet all night. And that's relevant with 442 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 1: beverages like tea, which is a diuretic. Of course, if 443 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: you have it in the evening, you probably find yourself 444 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: up three or four times each night. The other recommendation 445 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: I give to clients, particularly in the warm weather, it's 446 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: for every hour of high intensity exercise, I would encourage 447 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: you to have at least another five hundred meals of 448 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: fluish and water is preferable. But if you again we're 449 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: having a no added sugar sports stream core adding hydrolate 450 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: to water because that encourage you to have some again, 451 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't have an issue with that. But the 452 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: main reason I wanted to talk about it was I 453 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: think there's a really commonly health belief that if you 454 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: drink more water it's better for weight and I'm really sorry, 455 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: but it's not that link. 456 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 2: And you can also drink too much leanne can't you. 457 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely, It's very dangerous having too much water because 458 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 4: it floods the cells and drops the electrolyte content, which 459 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 4: is not good. 460 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 3: So you don't want to overdo it. Like anything in life, 461 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 3: too much of anything is not a good thing. 462 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 4: But like you, I get many questions on water where 463 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 4: I will say it is helpful for weight loss a 464 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 4: lot of times, and I've seen this a lot of 465 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 4: times online where people go, oh, you're not hungry, have 466 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 4: a drink, And it's very much promoted in the kind 467 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 4: of you know, disordered eating community. Like obviously on your 468 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 4: hunger if you are hungry, eat some food, but a 469 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 4: lot of times if you're not probably hydrated, it can 470 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 4: lead to you kind of over eating. 471 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 3: More food as well. 472 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 4: So I like to encourage my clients to have, you know, 473 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 4: a big glass of water with their meal, just to 474 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 4: ensure that they are probably hydrated as well, and particularly 475 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 4: because I give my clients quite high fiber diets as well, 476 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 4: and too much fiber with enough water or fluid will 477 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 4: not do you any favors. So water, like most of 478 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 4: our guidelines or recommendations, is actually based on like the 479 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 4: average person, So you know, I think the guidelines are 480 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 4: based on an average person being around seventy to eighty kilos. 481 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 4: So if you're outside of those averages, if you're in 482 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 4: a smaller body, you're in a larger body, you will 483 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 4: need more than the average guideline, which is about eight 484 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 4: cups a day, or what most people say is about 485 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 4: two liters a day. So if you're a quite small body, 486 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 4: you might need less than that. If you're quite a 487 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 4: large body, you might need more. Obviously, people need more 488 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 4: in summer because it's hot, we sweat more, particularly if 489 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 4: you're in a very active job. Like one of my 490 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 4: friends is a roufa, particularly in summer. He's out on 491 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 4: the hot sun for many hours each day. He takes 492 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 4: electrolytes with him and I think about four liters of 493 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 4: water with him a day and just sweats, like he 494 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 4: changes his shirt tools three times. So if you're a 495 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 4: big sweater, if it's hot, if it's humid, you're gonna 496 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 4: need more water. If it's winter, you're not doing a 497 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 4: lot of activity. You know, you're not sweating much, you 498 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 4: probably need less water. And like Susie said, it's all 499 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 4: fluid that counts. So again, I don't have a problem 500 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 4: with my clients having a couple of cups of herbal tea. 501 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 4: Coffee counts as well. You know, there's still hydration in coffee. 502 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 4: A lot of people think, oh, it's dehydrating the water 503 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 4: content and my coffee doesn't count. 504 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 3: It absolutely does. 505 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 4: And even if the coffee is based on milk, the 506 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 4: fluid in that milk counts towards your overall fluid intakes. 507 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 4: It's not so much a water intake. It's a fluid intake. 508 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 4: But the reason that we encourage water as the number 509 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 4: one fluid is because you know, it's obviously sort of 510 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,479 Speaker 4: low calorie. It's okay to make up your fluid intake 511 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 4: with some tea, some coffee, some milk, some soup, some juice, 512 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 4: soft drink, even if that's what you want. Not that 513 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 4: we haven't promote that as dietitians. But all of that 514 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 4: together counts towards your fluid intake. But I generally say 515 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 4: to my clients us, particularly when the goal is fat loss, 516 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 4: I want at least half, if not three quarters, coming 517 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 4: from water, whether that's plain water, sparkling water, soda water, 518 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 4: just because again it is very low calorie, and it 519 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 4: just reminds. 520 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 3: People to drink between their meals, not getting linked. 521 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 4: Into bad habits of having a soft drink with every 522 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 4: meal or you know, a couple of chocolate milk with 523 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 4: every meal or anything like that. Sometimes if we're having 524 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 4: sweetened drinks with our meals, it can become kind of 525 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 4: that bad habit over time. And probably the last point 526 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 4: I wanted to touch on when it comes to water 527 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 4: or hydration, Susie, is how much water? So actually, the 528 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 4: best way to know if you are hydrated or not. 529 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 4: I think I've said this on the podcast before, and 530 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 4: I had a ton of people dming me on Instagram being. 531 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 3: Like that's disgusting. 532 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 4: The best way to know if you're hydrated is actually 533 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 4: to look at the color of your pea, and all 534 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 4: the top athletes do it. It's got a hydration chart, 535 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 4: so you assess the color of your urine based on 536 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 4: how hydrated or dehydrated you are. So the optum color 537 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 4: is like a light yellow straw color. That's what we want. 538 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 4: If it's darker. If it's brown, if it's really bright yellow, 539 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 4: you're very likely dehydrated. 540 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 3: You need to drink more. 541 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 4: If it's basically see through or like white, you're probably 542 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 4: over hydrated and you don't want to drink anymore, because, 543 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 4: like I said before, it can actually be quite dangerous 544 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 4: to have too much water. So there's a fine balance 545 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 4: between too much and too little. 546 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 3: If you are. 547 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 4: Having a headache, you're feeling dehydrated, your mouth is dry, 548 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 4: your urine is very dark, there are probably some clear 549 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 4: signs that not only are you under hydrated, you're probably 550 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 4: very likely dehydrated, which is not great, particularly for things 551 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 4: like physical performance, even mental performance and concentration. You absolutely 552 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 4: want to make sure you're getting it enough hydration throughout 553 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 4: the day. So my sort of, I guess key recommendation 554 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 4: for you know, my average client, Susie is a cup 555 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 4: of water between meals and a cup of water with 556 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 4: your meals. Whether you want to be you know, bougie 557 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 4: and make that sparkling water or soda water up to you, 558 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 4: but I think linking one between meals and one with 559 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 4: meals will easily get you six cups a day, and 560 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 4: then tapering a couple of extra cups or bottles around 561 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 4: an exercise session or like you mentioned, Susie after a 562 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 4: meal or something like that will easily get you up 563 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 4: to that average kind of eight cups a day, But 564 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 4: just be mindful if you're falling outside of that average rains, 565 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 4: you probably need a little bit more a little bit less. 566 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: And also keep in mind that diet type soft drink 567 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: will mask the color of your Urinees you to diet 568 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: cocra Pepsi max, you'll notice that urine will be very 569 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: clear after that. So that's sort of a false positive 570 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: response to that soft drink, So just be mindful if 571 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: you drink that, it might still mean you're a little 572 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: bit dehydrated and. 573 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: Can do with a bit more water, all right ly, And. 574 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: Well, you had a little cheeky trip to Aldi, and 575 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: we're both known to like Audi, and you sent me 576 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: a photo of a product that I've used many times, 577 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 1: so we're on the same page with our recommendations. And 578 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: this is a particularly budget friendly option, which is so 579 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: relevant right now. And so the product we wanted to 580 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: talk about today was the Aldi pork Schnitzel. It's crumb 581 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: pork schnitzel. It takes twenty minutes to cook serves for 582 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: its five hundred grams, and it retails at like nine 583 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: to ninety five, I think, which is incredibly cost effective 584 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: for families. But the reason we love it is the 585 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: nutritionals are so strong because and I'm encouraging people more 586 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: and more to do this when you're buying meat that 587 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: is perhaps crumbs so schnitzel in a supermarket or battered fish, 588 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: and I got a whole lot of slack online about it, 589 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: or you should be recommending just chicken breast or plain meats. Well, sure, 590 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: but a lot of people do like a crumbed convenient product, 591 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: and that's a million times better than getting a takeaway. 592 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: So I think, just back it up. People give me 593 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 2: a break. Back it up. 594 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: But what I do look for, though, is a high 595 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: percentage of meat, because certainly when it comes to the 596 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: crumb chickens out there and even fish, they can be 597 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: as long as forty fifty percent, which is too low 598 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: because if you're buying a protein based product should predominantly 599 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: be the protein. And the reason that we love this 600 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: audi product, and I should say it's in the fresh 601 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: meat section, is that it's seventy one percent astray. 602 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 2: In pork, which is really high. 603 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: You won't get many crumb products much higher than seventy. 604 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: And then it's eighteen percent bread crumb, which is a 605 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: wheat flour, salt, yeese, gluten, parmesan cheese, which makes it 606 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: very tasty. There's a feit little additives there, but even 607 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: though the list is reasonably long, the amounts of those 608 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: additives are very small, so I wouldn't even worry about them. 609 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: Because nutrition per serve, which is one hundred and twenty 610 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: five grams or one schnitzel, it's got a massive twenty 611 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: three grams of protein. It's only got five point three 612 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: grams of fat, which is very low, so it's not 613 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: technically low fat but pretty close to it. Low and 614 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: saturated fat at one point eight grams, fourteen point six 615 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: grams at carbohydrates and only two point five grams of sugars, 616 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: which is very low for a crumb, and the sodium 617 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: at two thirty four is also low considering it's got 618 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: some nice palmesan flavor through it. 619 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 2: So I absolutely like this product. 620 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: I don't eat a huge amount of pork myself, but 621 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: I will often buy this for my family and they 622 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: really like it. It's got a nice flavor, it's mostly meat. 623 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: It tastes good. But as we've spoken about it cost effective, 624 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: like ten dollars for lean protein to serve the family. 625 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: You can't go wrong with that. 626 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 2: Now. 627 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: I have had a look at all the Audi schnitzels. 628 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: They're not greatly and I haven't found a good Audi 629 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: chicken snitsel. But this pork schnitzel I'm a big fan 630 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: of and can't fault. So I think if you too 631 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: enjoy schnitzel, or even want to have something in the 632 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: freezer for that night where you haven't prepped a meal, 633 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: you get home late, and you can just serve that 634 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: with a salad or some quick cook chips in the 635 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: oven with some salad. Like great meal, lean, high protein, 636 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: source of iron, and extremely cost effective. So head to 637 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: Aldi because big thumbs up from me. Did you actually 638 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: buy it and eat it? 639 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 3: No? I didn't. 640 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 4: I'm not a massive snitzler person. David loves them, but 641 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 4: I didn't try this one. 642 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: It looks good, it's pretty good like the schnitzel's nice. 643 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: I don't love pork, so I don't enjoy the meat, 644 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: but I cooked it for the boys and the crumbs 645 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: really nice, like they like it. Everyone else likes it. 646 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: It's just me because I don't love pork. But as 647 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: a schnitzel, it's a really good product. Like if they 648 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: did that same crumb with chicken and I'd be all 649 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: over it. So it's really lean, really lean pork fill 650 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: it and tastes great and yeah, my boys demolished it. 651 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 2: So good for the family. 652 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. 653 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. I went to Aldi looking because when our clients 654 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 4: really shops there and she loves it, and she said, 655 00:29:58,600 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 4: can I have a snitzel? 656 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, oh, I don't think Aldie's 657 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 3: that great. Let me. 658 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 4: I was like, I'm going today anyway, let me have 659 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 4: a look because I actually specifically go to Aldi four 660 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 4: their almond butter, because you know, with mea with her 661 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 4: nut allergies, like, I think it's quite cost effective to 662 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 4: get it from there, and I worry a little bit 663 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 4: about the cross contamination between the nuts, but I've used 664 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 4: the Aldi one from the beginning with her and I 665 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 4: know it's pretty good. So I go there and I 666 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 4: buy that and a couple of other Aldi staples, And 667 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 4: I was just having a look for my client because 668 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 4: she wanted something for her family, and that was really 669 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 4: the only good one I found there, which is why 670 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 4: I quickly stuffed it and sent it to you. 671 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 3: But two hundred. 672 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 4: Calories for a fill it twenty three grams of protein, 673 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 4: you can't go wrong technically. Is it a process food, 674 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 4: I mean not ultra process. It's not ultra process exactly. 675 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 4: It's a quick, convenient option if your options are McDonald's 676 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 4: drives through a reheat meal or you know, beautiful Australian 677 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 4: it's also Australian pork as well, which I think is 678 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 4: really good seventy one percent, twenty three grams of protein. 679 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 4: Like you said, with a mixed salad bag, Heat up 680 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 4: some frozen veggis for the kids, you know, throw some 681 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 4: chips in the air fry. I serve it with a 682 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 4: bit of steam broccoli or something. It's a winner for 683 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 4: a meal. It's less than ten dollars. For for snitzels, 684 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 4: that's two dollars fifty and you're getting in twenty three 685 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 4: grams of protein. I mean for small children, they don't 686 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 4: need that much protein. But if you have growing teenagers, 687 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 4: particularly boys who are like bottomless pits, this is absolutely 688 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 4: a product I would be recommending to fill them up. 689 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 3: If you prefer to get your own lean, astrained. 690 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 4: Pork crumb at yourself, absolutely go right ahead. Is that 691 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 4: a better option? Yes, it really is. But Susie, you 692 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 4: and I are both busy mums. We know so many 693 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 4: of our listeners are looking for just quick hacks to 694 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 4: feed the family on a budget, and this is absolutely 695 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 4: one I will be recommending. So if you're someone who's like, 696 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 4: oh my god, Leanna and Susie are recommending crumb snitzel, 697 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 4: like jog on, we don't want to hear your opinion, 698 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 4: this isn't the sament for you. But if you are 699 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 4: someone who's really looking for a fairly good austrain based 700 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 4: product that is very budget friendly, then this is definitely 701 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:53,959 Speaker 4: the one for you. 702 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 3: Head to Audi. 703 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 4: It is called the crumbed pork Snitzel with a hint 704 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 4: of parmesan. So leem, what else do you go to 705 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 4: Aldie to get? What else do I get? I get 706 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 4: the stain remover. I was reading a review online. I 707 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 4: was spending a fortune on what's the big brand nappy? 708 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 3: Said, and the stain removed? Because you know when you 709 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 3: got little. 710 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 4: Kids and they blow out their nappies and just like 711 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 4: I did baby led winning with both of my girls, 712 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 4: and every outfit of it's a nice branded oneer it's 713 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 4: just a came up branded one is just covered in 714 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 4: food by the end of the day. So I was like, 715 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 4: I need a good stain remover, hands down, the Aldi 716 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 4: stain remover. I was reviewing multiple mom's blogs. Came up 717 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 4: again and to get it again. So that's something that 718 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 4: I get from there. I get the rice cakes from 719 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 4: there because particularly for little bubbs, they're quite good. They're 720 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 4: very low in sodium, so I use them, particularly Fertilia 721 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 4: the moment. She's still any ten months so sodium or 722 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 4: salty is a concern. Little babies can't process too much salt, 723 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 4: so we want to keep their diet very low salts. 724 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 3: So I get the rice crackers from there. 725 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 2: What about the chocolate land? 726 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 4: I do get the chocolate, Yes, yes, I absolutely and 727 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 4: got multiple packs. 728 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 3: Get Yet we get the fake Umi's Mediterranean dip. We 729 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 3: love that. What else do I get from that? 730 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: She's talking about stain remover. I'll tell you what she 731 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: goes gets to Audi. I've been with us. She gets 732 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: the chocolate and the dumplings and mumblings. 733 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 3: I forgot about the dumplings, my god, and. 734 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: She gets the and the dip and she's about the 735 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: stain remover. So she's been highly misleading off shoped with her. 736 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: I know exactly what she gets from. 737 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 4: Out you know, I know it's a nutrition podcast, but 738 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 4: there are moms out there who just need a good 739 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:20,959 Speaker 4: stain remover in their lives, Susie. 740 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: So you know, head to Audi you can thank me later. 741 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna actually want to try that Toorally. To wrap 742 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: us up today and took back to nutrition, We've had 743 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: actually two things. We've had a lot of questions about 744 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: what is an ultra processed food, so we are going 745 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: to cover that next episode off the back of your 746 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: ultra process And also we've had a lot of questions 747 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: about bone broth off the back of soups. Now is 748 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: it that good for us? This was a question off Instagram, 749 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: but we've had a few of them come through. So 750 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: the reason that we're seeing a lot of information about 751 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: bone broths is that there's a molecule in bone broth 752 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: that comes from the bones called carnisine and it's a 753 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: nemino acid which is associated with improved immune functions. So 754 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: actually clinically proven to improve cell migration of immune cells 755 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: to infected areas. So that is where the chicken soup 756 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,240 Speaker 1: for the soul comes from. There is an evidence space 757 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: why we would have that when we were unwell. Do 758 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: I think that buying bone broth soup in the supermarket 759 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: is that good for us? I don't do it because 760 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: I think if you really want to have soup the 761 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: health benefits, your best to make your own broth with 762 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: the carcass and then you're getting it fresh so the 763 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: molecules are there, and make it with fresh vegetables at 764 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: the time, and have it if you're that committed to it, 765 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 1: because I think whenever you're processing something, it's then stored, 766 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,720 Speaker 1: kept it different temperatures, transported could we made six months ago. 767 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: Sure there may be some health benefit, but does it 768 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: justify the significantly higher price on the soups in the supermarket. 769 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 770 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: So I am just very happy to buy regular, good 771 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: old soup because ultimately many stocks will be made from 772 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: that broth anyway. But if you really want the benefits 773 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: from a bone broth soup and the collagen and the 774 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: gelatine and the kindozine that you get, you've got to 775 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 1: make your own, which means getting the old bones, whether 776 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,959 Speaker 1: it's after a restaurant you take your tea bone home, 777 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: or eating a chicken and actually cooking it up like 778 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 1: you know nnnas and grandmothers do everywhere. That is the 779 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: true way to get those health benefits from a soup. 780 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: And obviously it's very time consuming, it's quite messy, it's 781 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: a big. 782 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 2: Process to make your own stock. 783 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: But if you're that committed to it, I would be 784 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: doing it at home rather than just paying extra money 785 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: at the supermarket for a bone broth, because it's probably 786 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: not significantly better than any old soup that's already been made. 787 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 4: And I must say, I don't think I've really ever 788 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 4: recommended bone broth unless I do have a client that 789 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 4: you might have daycare age kids and they're just constantly 790 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 4: getting sick. But even then there's quite a few things 791 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 4: I would recommend from an immunity perspective before that. But 792 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 4: just to break it down a little bit for our listeners, 793 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 4: bone broth is essentially cross between stock and broth. 794 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 3: So when you've got broth. 795 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 4: You're essentially just simmering vegetables might be a bit of meat, 796 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 4: herbs and spices in there, and generally you're doing that 797 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 4: for about kind of thirty to forty minutes up to 798 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 4: an hour or two. Then you strain it and you 799 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 4: use it. That's essentially broth. When it comes to stock, 800 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 4: you're doing the same thing. You're simmering veggies, you know, carrots, onion, 801 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 4: celery plus some animal bones for about four hours or so, 802 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 4: then straining it. Bone broth, on the other hand, is 803 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 4: made from, like Susie said, using the bones of beefore, 804 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 4: chicken or whatever it might be, plus simmering that with vegetables, 805 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,760 Speaker 4: and it's typically cooked for a lot longer, so twenty 806 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 4: four hours or more. 807 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 3: Then you strain it, then you season it. 808 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 4: And like Susie mentioned, there is a particular participle in 809 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 4: there that has been shown in the research. I went 810 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 4: right back and the study was back from two thousands, 811 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 4: so it's quite an old study now, Susie. It was 812 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 4: published in the journal called Chest Funnily enough, and the 813 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 4: bones in the soup were shown to provide a mild 814 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 4: anti inflammatory effect which helped to mitigate the symptoms of 815 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 4: up per respiratory infections. So if I did have a 816 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,240 Speaker 4: client that you know continuously was getting sick, was getting 817 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 4: respiratory infections, it may be helpful. And if you're unwell 818 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 4: and you don't have time to sit there and simmer 819 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 4: your own broth and bones for multiple hours, sure buying 820 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 4: some supermarket bone broth might be beneficial. But I wouldn't 821 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,720 Speaker 4: recommend it because Susie, online, I've seen so many claims 822 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 4: about bone bros from healing your gut to you know, 823 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 4: curing I don't know, like ADHD, like just ridiculous things online, 824 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 4: And the science doesn't support ninety percent of the claims online. 825 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 3: But the only one it. 826 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 4: Is really helpful for is those upper infections we do 827 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 4: have some research for, so that would really be the 828 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 4: only time I would be recommending it for clients. Like 829 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 4: Susie said, it's probably better to make your own, but 830 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 4: if you want, you can buy it in the supermarket, 831 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 4: but you absolutely will be paying the price for it, 832 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 4: generally ten dollars plus for it, you know, a portion 833 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 4: of bone broth. Now, the one thing I did want 834 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 4: to mention Susie is that there was actually another study 835 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 4: in twenty thirteen that showed that regular ingestion of bone 836 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 4: broth the bones in there are known to sequesta heavy metals, 837 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 4: so There is a risk with consuming too much bone 838 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 4: broth because that can lead to a risk of lead contamination. 839 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 4: So this is particularly risky for our vulnerable populations, particularly 840 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 4: our children and our babies. And there was a silly, 841 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 4: silly what we call them, social media influenza many years 842 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 4: ago who actually developed a cookbook saying that, you know, infants, 843 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 4: instead of having baby formulas, should have bone broth. That 844 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 4: was incredibly harmful. The book was pulled from publishing. So 845 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 4: it's not something we ever would recommend for infants. It 846 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 4: is not a replacement for nutrition. There's very little nutrition 847 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 4: in something like bone broth. Children infants really still need 848 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,879 Speaker 4: you know, healthy fats, veggies, protein, carbohydrates, that sort of thing. 849 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 4: So it is definitely not a sole source of nutrition. 850 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 4: It's not going to work any wonders in your diet. 851 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 4: It can be harmful if you're having too much of it, 852 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 4: but there is that small benefit if you are somebody 853 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 4: who you know regularly gets those upper respiratory infections. 854 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 3: It is something that can be good, but not I. 855 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 4: Guess as a regular type thing. 856 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 3: I would only really be saying it. 857 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 4: You know, take it during the winter seasons, take it 858 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 4: if you feel like your immunity is down a bit 859 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 4: or you're a bit you know, under the weather. I 860 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,240 Speaker 4: wouldn't just be saying, you know, make loads and loads 861 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 4: of bone bross constantly, because there is that little bit 862 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 4: of a risk that it does have high amounts of 863 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 4: let in there potentially from the bones. 864 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: You're probably just as good to have a bowl of 865 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: veggie soup at steak and off you go, all right, Liam, 866 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,439 Speaker 1: That brings us to the end of the Nutrition Couch 867 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: for another week. Please keep telling your friends about us, 868 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: and we have mentioned that we're considering running a retreat 869 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,839 Speaker 1: later this year in which we will be hosting some 870 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,360 Speaker 1: seminars and some sessions, and it will include our protein powder, 871 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: our new book, and also a beautiful weekend away. So 872 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: we're looking at the moment for expressions of interest. So 873 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 1: if you do think that might be something, and you 874 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: have a budget of roughly two thousand dollars we think 875 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: the costs will be, please send us a DM on 876 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: Instagram or send us a message at at the nutri 877 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: Couch dot com, because we're currently sort of assessing whether 878 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 1: that's going to be a viable project. And we will 879 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 1: see you next Wednesday for our regular episode drop, have 880 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,760 Speaker 1: a good week, Catch you guys next week.
