1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: How much water do you drink each day? Do you 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,080 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 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: Or maybe you already know that you are drinking nowhere 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: near enough and feel that it is impacting your health 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: and maybe even your weight. On today's episode of The 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: Nutrition Couch, we chat all things water and health and 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: share how much you really should be drinking. 9 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Cusi. 10 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: Burrell and Emily and Wood and each week we bring 11 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: you The Nutrition Couch, the weekly podcast that keeps you 12 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: up to date on everything you need to know in 13 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: the world of nutrition as well as water. Today we 14 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: are going to delve into the world of intuitive eating and. 15 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 3: Give our honest thoughts on this growing movement. 16 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: We found a budget friendly Schnitzel option that we both love, 17 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: and our listener question is all about the evidence for 18 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: bone broth. So I'm going to hand over to you 19 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: straight away, Lam because this is a topic that, certainly 20 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: in my career as a dietitian, has grown exponentially and 21 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: it's the idea of a non diet intuitive eating approach, 22 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: and we see it reasonably frequently on mainstream media and 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: I guess one of the reasons that you and I 24 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: haven't previously spoken a lot about it is our real 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: interest is women and specifically weight And in saying that, 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,680 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 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: this is not an insignificant number of people that we've 29 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: spoken to, and I think it came back at ninety 30 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: seven percent of our audience was interested in weight control. 31 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: So we practice clinically with women working on their fat 32 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: loss and weight control goals. It's not that we think 33 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: weight is everything, it's just our basically our area of expertise. 34 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: You know, we've always worked with people, whether it's in 35 00:01:44,440 --> 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 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: able to not only lose weight, but even just control weight, 38 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: particularly as we move through the different stages of the lifespan. 39 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: But for a number of reasons, there is an in 40 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,040 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 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: maybe have a little bit of a chat about what 43 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: it is where it fits for us, And you know, 44 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: I guess maybe signs that information or it may be 45 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: for you or you'd like to hear more about it, 46 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: And I guess the pros and comes from our perspective. 47 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 3: Is that a fair introduction? 48 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: Yeah? 49 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 4: I think so, because I mean, like you said, we 50 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 4: were both dietysians who predominantly work with women for fat loss. 51 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: That's what we do. 52 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 4: And I think I've seen a lot of intuitive eating 53 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 4: online promoted in social media. A lot of my clients 54 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 4: ask me about or they might come to me and 55 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 4: they'll say, leanne, I really am interested in intuitive eating 56 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 4: and I'd like to lose ten kilos. So I think 57 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 4: it's we need to make it very clear from the 58 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 4: outset that intuitive eating is not a diet. It is 59 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 4: not supposed to be something that leads or that you 60 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 4: use in combination with losing weight. It may as almost 61 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 4: like a byproduct, promote some weight loss, but in my experience, 62 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 4: it doesn't. Really. It's more towards weight maintenance, or it's 63 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 4: a philosophy, so it's essentially a style of eating that 64 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 4: or a philosophy of eating that helps you to tune into. 65 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 2: Your body a little bit more. I love intuitive eating. 66 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 4: I think it's a beautifully powerful principle, but I find 67 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 4: it very difficult to use. If a client has all 68 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 4: needs to or wants to lose weight, you cannot intuitively 69 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 4: eat for a body that is ten, fifteen, twenty kilos 70 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 4: less because when you're intuitively listening to your body versus 71 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 4: trying to drop body fat, which you know you need 72 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 4: to strategically eat in a calorie deficit to do, those 73 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 4: two things don't marry up. 74 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: They don't really go hand in hand. 75 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 4: So what I tend to do, Susie is work with 76 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 4: my clients trying to develop that healthy relationship with food, 77 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 4: help them achieve the Fallost goals, and then afterwards transition 78 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 4: them more to an intuitive. 79 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: Style of eating. 80 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 4: Once they're a little bit more aware of their body, 81 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 4: their hunger cues, what their portions are like. Then even 82 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,840 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 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,840 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 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 4: intuitive eating, but after we've been working together for a 87 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 4: few months so that they're a little bit more aware 88 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,640 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 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 4: cues of hunger and fullness. But the issue that I 91 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 4: have not that I have any issue with it, Susie like, 92 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 4: it's completely fine to do. But what I find is very, 93 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 4: very difficult for my clients to do is that if 94 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 4: there's someone who has a background of say yo yo darting, 95 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 4: or you know, they've been trying to lose and regain 96 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 4: the same sort of ten to twenty kilos for the 97 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 4: past decade or so, they're very out of touch with 98 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 4: their body's natural hunger fullness cues. So it's really difficult 99 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 4: to say to somebody who doesn't really ever feel hungry, well, 100 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 4: eat a meal, eat what your body feels like, and 101 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 4: then stop eating when you're full. Because I have a 102 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 4: lot of clients who just really never experience that hunger 103 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 4: or fullness throughout the day, or will just eat and 104 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,679 Speaker 4: eat neat and they don't recognize that fullness cue until 105 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 4: they've almost had too much, and then they go, oh, 106 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 4: I'm really full, I should probably stop eating, whereas we 107 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 4: want them to take it kind of backwards a few 108 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 4: steps from there. So I do work a lot with 109 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 4: my clients on this, but I also sort of incorporated, 110 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 4: I guess as part of giving them some structure and 111 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 4: some guidelines around the portions that are right for their 112 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 4: body to begin with, Like I create very personalized recipes. 113 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 4: I say, I want you to eat this, it's in 114 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 4: the right portions for your body. So we almost do 115 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 4: the opposite of what intuitive eating is. Like I guess, 116 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 4: I give them structure and guidance around the porches. They 117 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 4: learn those portions, they relearn the hunger fullness cues. Like 118 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 4: they say to me, the dinner was really yummy. I 119 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 4: could definitely eat more. And I say, great, but do 120 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 4: you feel satisfied? And they say, yeah, actually I could 121 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 4: eat more. I'm like, I appreciate you could eat more, 122 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 4: but we don't necessarily need you to eat more, because 123 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 4: A the goal is fat loss, and B I want 124 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 4: you eating until you're kind of, you know, eighty percent satisfied, 125 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 4: not one hundred percent stuffed, because so many of us 126 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 4: are used to over eating, particularly a really. 127 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 2: Large dinner based meal. 128 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 4: We eat the bolkwag colories at nighttime, we eat until 129 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 4: we're over full. So it's an interesting I guess philosophy. 130 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 4: I know a lot of dietitians specialize in it, and 131 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 4: the basics is basically that it just helps promote a 132 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 4: better attitude towards food and really help you in time 133 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 4: appreciate your natural hunger and fullness. I guess mechanisms. So 134 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 4: I am a big fan of it, But I do 135 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 4: think you're kind of either a weight loss dietitian or 136 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 4: you're either an intuitive eating dietitian. I kind of like 137 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 4: to find that little bit of a gray area in between, 138 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: and I kind of use a little bit of both 139 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 4: styles and my own practice, which is a little bit cheeky, 140 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 4: I guess because people are pretty black and white, particularly 141 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 4: most dietitians. They are either weight loss or they're intuitor 142 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 4: beating focus, and I think we can kind of transition 143 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 4: between both without getting to I guess black and white 144 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 4: about it. 145 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: That's sort of. 146 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 4: How I'm feeling so far. Do you do you kind of, 147 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 4: you know, refer clients to intuitive eating practitioners. How do 148 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 4: you feel about it? 149 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 3: What's really tricky? 150 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: I think because one of the reasons that people will 151 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: come to see a dietitian, whether it's for sports nutrition 152 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: or energy hormone balance, fertility, weight loss, is because they 153 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: need guidance, and it's all nice and touch you feely 154 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: to talk about food, and you should be able to 155 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: eat whatever you like. But I guess it comes down 156 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: to a belief system around that where I think in 157 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: many cases we are able to eat so much and 158 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: so much food is freely available that without guidance, it 159 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: can be very difficult for people to know the baseline 160 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: of what is healthy eating or volumes and portions. And 161 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: I guess, specifically working with weight, a lot of people 162 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: who are struggling with weight control have underlying hormonal issues 163 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: which are driving that weight. So it might be into resistance, 164 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: it might be pcos, it might be thirough dysfunction, so 165 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: their natural physiology has been altered, and so they don't 166 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: have a good grasp about what they should have intuitively. So, 167 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: for example, with inst resistance, you will always crave more 168 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: sweet food because your natural hormones are not working as 169 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: they should be. So if I said to my clients, 170 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: what do you feel like eating, They'll say, I want 171 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: something sweet after lunch. So if I sit to them, 172 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: sure you can have something sweet after lunch, because intuitively 173 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: it's what you feel like, I would argue it's not 174 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: intuition it's hormones. So I think weight control, in particular 175 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: fat losses is very complicated, and for me, the principle 176 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: is idealistic and nice in theory, but it doesn't translate 177 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: to practice. 178 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 4: You know. 179 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: Keep in mind, ly and sixty percent of austrain adults 180 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: are overweight or obese. Now there is no doubt that 181 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: the majority of those people will benefit from a health perspective, 182 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: and often personally they want to lose weight and have 183 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: an interest and desire. And I struggle to understand how 184 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: that idea of the body naturally knows what it wants 185 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,119 Speaker 1: and we should listen, and how that translates into that outcome. 186 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: So to me, it's a theoretical model, and particularly I 187 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: guess for people who perhaps have struggled with eating disorders, 188 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: disordered eating, perhaps it's a model there that gets people 189 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: back into a healthy relationship with food. And certainly, as 190 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: you've described, there's people who work in that area. But 191 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: I know that most of my clients are interested and 192 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: desperate for structure and to be told how to eat 193 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: to achieve the goals they have for their health and 194 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: their body. And I don't necessarily use a whole lot 195 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: of intuitive eating. Oh, sure, will ask clients what they 196 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: enjoy eating, how they can achieve a balance between more 197 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: indulgent foods. But you know, intuitive to what what is 198 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: that based on what you've been programmed to have or 199 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: what you have told is more desirable food. I really 200 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: struggle in reality to understand how it translates into outcome. 201 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: And you know, certainly clients i've may have had that 202 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: kind of appointment, but it certainly hasn't given them the 203 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: structure they need long term. 204 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 3: So I think it's just different strokes. 205 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: You know. 206 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: It's like medically, some people respond well to meditation, some 207 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: people prefer surgery. It's just different things. But certainly the 208 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: way that I work in weight management is much more 209 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: structured and about starting with the person and building a 210 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: regime for them, rather than having this idealistic view that 211 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: people should be able to have what they like and 212 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: body is health at any size. And there's some of 213 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: those things I think are pretty complicated, and I don't 214 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: necessarily agree with them, and. 215 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 4: I think, I guess just THINKI ab out listeners a 216 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 4: little bit more of a background on what intuitive eating 217 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 4: is because I agree with you, like you said, it's 218 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 4: what you prefer and what your lifestyle needs, and you know, 219 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 4: even what your background where you've come from, because, like 220 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 4: you said, if you're someone who's had a really long 221 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 4: history with dieting, eating disorders, disordered eating, this could be 222 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 4: absolutely the thing that you need in your life that 223 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 4: helps bring you peace, that helps you achieve a better 224 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 4: relationship with food. 225 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: So it's no right or wrong. 226 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 4: It's not like you have to do one thing or another, 227 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: but it just might be this is the thing that 228 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 4: you've been looking for. So let me tell our listeners 229 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 4: a little bit more about it. And it's absolutely up 230 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 4: to you to decide if this is something that you 231 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 4: feel like would work really well for you, and then 232 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 4: if so, really establishing a practitioner who is you know, 233 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 4: really highly skilled and trained in this area, because like 234 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 4: Susie and I said, we are predominantly weight management. It 235 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 4: is not something that if a client came to mean 236 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 4: is that I want to eat intuitively, I would refer 237 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 4: them on to another type of dietiian. Whereas I guess 238 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 4: when I said earlier on that I use some elements 239 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 4: of intuitive eating, Really what I mean is I think 240 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 4: I use a lot of elements of you know, mindful 241 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 4: eating in getting in tune with your body, but not 242 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 4: the entire concept of intuitive eating. I really don't believe 243 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 4: that intuitive eating and weight loss can go together. I 244 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 4: do believe that they're sort of different concepts, and they're 245 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 4: different things that will suit different people as well. So 246 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 4: the term intuitive eating was coined back in nineteen ninety five, 247 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 4: and it wass a book written by Evelyn Trimball and 248 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 4: Elease Reefs, And what they did is they essentially coined 249 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 4: ten key principles of intuitive eating. So the first principle 250 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 4: was to reject the diet mentality, and intuitive eating is 251 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 4: definitely very anti diet focus, and I would argue that 252 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 4: any dietitian is anti diet focused anyway. I don't know 253 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 4: any dietitians that are pro strict restrictive diet, so I 254 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 4: think that we're all anti diet mentality. But I guess 255 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 4: that line becomes a little bit blurred when you're putting 256 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 4: in a little bit of structure and regimes into a 257 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 4: client's diet with you know, portions and that sort of thing, 258 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 4: versus being able to eat freely any foods and any 259 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 4: portions that you want. So the first principle is rejecting 260 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 4: the diet mentality. The second principle is honoring your hunger 261 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 4: and feeding your body when you get those hunger cues. 262 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 4: The third principle is to make peace with food, which 263 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 4: you know would be a really powerful principle, particularly if 264 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 4: you have a poor relationship with food or you've struggled 265 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 4: for many years with an eating disorder or disordered eating. 266 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 4: The fourth principle is to challenge the food police, so essentially, 267 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 4: what they're saying is that no food is good or bad, 268 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 4: and challenge those thoughts that tell you otherwise. Number five 269 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 4: is to respect your fullness and listen for those signals 270 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 4: that you begun to feel full. Number six is discover 271 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 4: the satisfaction factor, so making sure that your eating experiences 272 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 4: is enjoyable and the foods that you're eating are tasty 273 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 4: and that they feel good to you and it's a 274 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 4: pleasurable experience when you are eating. Number seven is to 275 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 4: honor your feelings without using food. So really emotional eating 276 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 4: is a strategy for coping with feelings, but finding ways 277 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 4: that unrelated to food to deal with your feelings. Number 278 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 4: eight is respecting your body. You know, not criticizing it, 279 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 4: but respecting it. For everything that it can do, realizing 280 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 4: that it's beautiful, it's capable, it's able to do. 281 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 2: Everything you need it to do. 282 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 4: Principal number nine is around exercise, so finding ways to 283 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 4: move your body that you enjoy. And Principal number ten 284 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 4: is to honor your health with gentle nutrition. So the 285 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 4: food that you eat should taste good and it should 286 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 4: make you feel good as well. So ten, I guess 287 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 4: structured principles when it comes to intuitive eating. 288 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 2: So it's definitely not a diet. It's a I guess 289 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: what would you call it? 290 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 4: A philosophy of eating that can be incredibly helpful and 291 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 4: incredibly powerful for. 292 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: A lot of clients. 293 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 4: And I would argue that a lot of dietitians take 294 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 4: elements of intuitive eating. I certainly do, and I know 295 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 4: you do as well as Susie, to utilize in your 296 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 4: own practice. But if you ask someone who strongly would 297 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 4: like to investigate more what intuitive eating is, how it 298 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 4: might help you, how it might improve your relationship with food, 299 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 4: or help you get off the yo yo dieting bandwagging, 300 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 4: or you know, stop feeling guilty about food. Perhaps it's 301 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 4: time that you sort out a practitioner who sort of 302 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 4: specializes in intuitive eating, and I do actually have a 303 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 4: wonderful dietitian Susu who's a registered eating disort, a dietitian 304 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 4: who I interviewed on my own podcast, the leanne Ward 305 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 4: Nutrition Podcast. Her name is Abby, and the episode is 306 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 4: a recent one. It's titled making Friends with Food. So 307 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 4: Abby and I really talk all about intuitive eating, what 308 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 4: it is and how. 309 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 2: It might be helpful for some people. 310 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 4: So if that is something that I listen is interested in, 311 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 4: they can go and check out that episode with Abby 312 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 4: on the Lean Wood Nutrition Podcast. 313 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: True, but when you go through that list, they're things 314 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: that we talk about all the time. Listen to your 315 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: body with fullness, get back in touch with hunger, you know. 316 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: So I find it a little bit wishy wash he 317 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: because we talk about all of those things too. I 318 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: think it comes in some cases from a belief that 319 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: anyone who is involved in specific diet prescription is imposing 320 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: restrictive beliefs. And that is not the case, because I 321 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: would say seven out of eight of those principles that 322 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: you read out we do anyway because we're good clinicians 323 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: who work with patients or people for a really long time. 324 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: So I think For me, it just reiterates it's a 325 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: theoretical concept and a good dietitian as you know, not 326 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: to blow our own horm but you know, people who 327 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: are very good clinicians will do a lot of those naturally, 328 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: because we want our clients to develop a good relationship 329 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: with food, of course we do. 330 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 2: So. 331 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's interesting. 332 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: So I have a listened to that that Leanne has 333 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: on them more nutrition because you can sort of get 334 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: some more information. And I think a lot of our 335 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,239 Speaker 1: listeners who have had a history with dieting but also 336 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: trying to achieve the goal of weight control or fat 337 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: loss will find the balance quite interesting. Lightly onto water now, 338 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: I think there is a commonly held belief that if 339 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: you don't drink enough water it will negatively impact your 340 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: weight control efforts or actually do damage to your body. 341 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: Because when I'm sort of talking to a client assessing 342 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: a diet, they will very quickly also go into great 343 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: detail about their water consumption, and they'll always say, I 344 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: don't drink enough water. 345 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 3: I don't drink enough water. 346 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: So I thought, I don't think we've actually discussed this 347 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: on the pody either, and I just wanted to go 348 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: into the science of fluid in our diets and what 349 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: it does do, but also what it doesn't do, because 350 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: I think there's a bit of misbelly for having more 351 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: water can actually achieve. So the human body is seventy 352 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: percent water. All of our cells are made up on it. 353 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: That's why when you've been out and had a few 354 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: drinks you look a bit puffy and dehydrated because you 355 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: will have lost some of that fluid. So hence the 356 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: recommendation to drink a certain amount each day. Now, like 357 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: all recommendations, the range of fluid people need is very, 358 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: very different. As you can imagine, a six foot five 359 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: athlete who trains to hours a day in a hot 360 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: climate is going to need a lot more than a 361 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: five foot nothing female in winter in Sydney. You know, 362 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: it's really dependent on physiology. But as a rough rule 363 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: of thumb, the recommendation is to have between thirty five 364 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: and forty five mili leaders of fluid every kilo of 365 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: body weight. So if we put that just quickly into 366 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: the calculator, that can range anywhere from you know, if 367 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: you're a small female who's weighing sixty kilos, you know 368 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: a couple of liters but that isn't just water. Remember 369 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: that you get fluid from the food that you consume 370 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: as well, you get fluid from if you have a 371 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: cup of tea, lots of different liquids. So it's a 372 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,239 Speaker 1: very very rough guide, and that's where the recommendations for 373 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: sort of a lider and a half two lids for 374 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: the average person come from. But the first myth I 375 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: want to dispel is that if you don't reach two 376 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: liters of fluid a day, it's not going to impact 377 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: your weight. So weight is dependent on calorie intake, energy metabolism, 378 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: But having more water doesn't help fat loss. 379 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 3: That is a complete myth. 380 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: What we do know is if you drink icy cold water, 381 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: you burn a few extra calories after consuming it as 382 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: the body works hard to increase body temperature with that 383 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: cold fluid. 384 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 3: But it's minimal overall. So what it. 385 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: Does do if you're dehydrated, it tends to impact your 386 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: digestive system. And sometimes if people come and they're not 387 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: going to the bathroom as regularly and they may not 388 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: be having enough fluid, because you need fluid to move 389 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: waste through the digestive system efficiently, so that's what it 390 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: may do. So you may feel more bloated, more heavy 391 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: in the gut if you haven't had enough fluid, and 392 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: hence the link to weight, but it certainly is not 393 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: directly linked to fat loss, and it's just basically in theory, 394 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: will make you feel better. So there's studies to show 395 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: that if you're optimally hydrated, you can be more alert, 396 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: you can recover quickly after exercise, your skin will look better, 397 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: it won't be as dry. So it's more of that 398 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,959 Speaker 1: physiological practical outcome that comes from drinking enough fluid. But 399 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: for all the people out there who don't like water, 400 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: you do get fluid from, as we've said, high water 401 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 1: content fruit vegetables, so seeing things like soup at the 402 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: moment can be a really good way to keep hydrated. 403 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: Even cup of tea. You know, you get a reasonably 404 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: the net fluid from a cup of tea outweighs the 405 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: negatives of not having it, so it certainly doesn't have 406 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: to be plain water. There are always a lot of 407 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: questions around sparkling water and soda water, and whilst you 408 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: get a very very small amount of mineral salts from 409 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: soda water, there's really no negatives to it unless you 410 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: bloat if you prefer it sparkling, if you prefer it 411 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: soda water, I don't have any problems with that. If 412 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: you don't like plain water, I'd say, I don't mind 413 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: the tea, as I said instead. Another question I had 414 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: recently was a client asked me if they could put 415 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: diet right cordial into their water, and it took me 416 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: back to the eighties, where we drink cordial all the time. 417 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: I don't ever hardly see it now now. The reason 418 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: I said no to my client in that instance was 419 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: that it is artificially sweetened, and we do if we're 420 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: adding flavor to water, do you encourage people to add 421 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: a natural source of sweetness? So for example that often 422 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: clients will ask me about the Mount frank On sparkling, 423 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: and I again don't have an issue with that because 424 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: they're low sugar, they don't have actual sugars added, and 425 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: there's a growing range of those beverages that have sort 426 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: of a non sugar additive to it. And again, if 427 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: that means you're going to drink fluid, I don't have 428 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: a problem with that. And I usually say leam because 429 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: all the ladies know who are in their forties who 430 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: have had a natural childbirth. One of the issues is 431 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: if you drink a lot of fluid, you spend a 432 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: lot of time in the bathroom, and that's not always 433 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: practical for busy women. So I usually say, rather than 434 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: just spending all day peeing, sometimes you better to time 435 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 1: it and perhaps try and get through a five six 436 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: hundred meal bottle through the morning, closer to lunch, throughout 437 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: the late afternoon, so you can time it so you're 438 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: not going to the toilet all night. And that's relevant 439 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: with beverages like tea, which is a diuretic. Of course, 440 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: if you have it in the evening, you probably find 441 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: yourself up three or four times each night. The other 442 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: recommendation I give to clients, particularly in the warm weather, 443 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: it's for every hour of high intensity exercise, I would 444 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: encourage you to have at least another five hundred meals 445 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: of fluidsh and water is preferable. But if you again 446 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: we're having a no added sugar sports stream core adding 447 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: hydroult to water because that encourage you to have some again, 448 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't have an issue with that. But the 449 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: main reason I wanted to talk about it was I 450 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: think there's a really commonly health belief that if you 451 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: drink more water it's better for weight and I'm really sorry, 452 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: but it's not that link. And you can also drink 453 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: too much leanne can't you. 454 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 455 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 4: Absolutely, It's very dangerous having too much water because it 456 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 4: floods the cells and drops the electrolyte content, which is 457 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 4: not good. So you don't want to overdo it. Like 458 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 4: anything in life, too much of anything is not a 459 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 4: good thing. But like you, I get many questions on 460 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 4: water where I will say it is helpful for weight 461 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 4: loss a lot of times, and I've seen this a 462 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 4: lot of times online where people go, oh, you're not hungry, 463 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 4: have a drink, And it's very much promoted in the 464 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 4: kind of you know, disordered eating community. Like obviously on 465 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 4: your hunger if you are hungry, eat some food, but 466 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 4: a lot of times if you're not probably hydrated, it 467 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 4: can lead to you kind of over eating more food 468 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 4: as well. So I like to encourage my clients to have, 469 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 4: you know, a big glass of water with their meal, 470 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 4: just to ensure that they are probably hydrated as well. 471 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 4: And particularly because I give my clients quite high fiber 472 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 4: diets as well, and too much fiber with enough water 473 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 4: or fluid will not do you any favors. So water, 474 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 4: like most of our guidelines or recommendations, is actually based 475 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 4: on like the average person, So you know, I think 476 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 4: the guidelines are based on an average person being around 477 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 4: seventy to eighty kilers. So if you're outside of those averages, 478 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 4: if you're in a smaller body, you're in a larger body, 479 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 4: you will need more than the average guideline, which is 480 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 4: about eight cups a day, or what most people say 481 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 4: is about two liters a day. So if you're a 482 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 4: quite small body, you might need less than that. If 483 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 4: you're quite a large body, you might need more. Obviously, 484 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 4: people need more in summer because it's hot, we sweat more, 485 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 4: particularly if you're in a very active job. Like one 486 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 4: of my friends is a roufah, particularly in summer. He's 487 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 4: out on the hot sun for many hours each day. 488 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 4: He takes electrolytes with him and I think about four 489 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 4: liters of water with him a day and just sweats, 490 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 4: like he changes his shirt tools three times. So if 491 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 4: you're a big sweater, if it's hot, if it's humid, 492 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 4: you're gonna need more water. If it's winter, you're not 493 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 4: doing a lot of activity, you know you're not sweating much, 494 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 4: you probably need less water. And like Susie said, it's 495 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 4: all fluid that counts. So again, I don't have a 496 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 4: problem with my clients having a couple of cups of 497 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 4: herbal tea. Coffee counts as well. You know, there's still 498 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 4: hydration in coffee. A lot of people think, oh, it's 499 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 4: dehydrating the water content and my coffee doesn't count. It 500 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 4: absolutely does. And even if the coffee is based on milk, 501 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 4: the fluid in that milk counts towards your overall fluid intakes. 502 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 4: It's not so much a water intake, it's a fluid intake. 503 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 4: But the reason that we encourage water as a number 504 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 4: one fluid is because you know, it's obviously sort of 505 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 4: low calorie. It's okay to make up your fluid intake 506 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 4: with some tea, some coffee, some milk, some soup, some juice, 507 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 4: soft drink, even if that's what you want. Not that 508 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 4: we haven't promote that as dietitians. But all of that 509 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 4: together counts towards your fluid intake. But I generally say 510 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 4: to my clients, sous, particularly when the goal is fat loss, 511 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 4: I want at least half if not three quarters coming 512 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 4: from water, whether that's plain water, sparkling water, soda water, 513 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 4: just because again it is very low calorie, and it 514 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 4: just reminds people to drink between them meals, not getting 515 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 4: linked into bad habits of having a soft drink with 516 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 4: every meal or you know, a couple of chocolate milk 517 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 4: with their meal or anything like that. Sometimes if we're 518 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 4: having sweetened drinks with our meals, it can become kind 519 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 4: of that bad habit over time. And probably the last 520 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 4: point I wanted to touch on when it comes to 521 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 4: water or hydration, Susie, is how much water? So actually, 522 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 4: the best way to know if you are hydrated or not. 523 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 4: I think I've said this on the podcast before, and 524 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 4: I had a ton of people dming me on Instagram 525 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 4: being like that's disgusting. The best way to know if 526 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 4: you're hydrated is actually to look at the color of 527 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 4: your pea, and all the top athletes do it. It's 528 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 4: called a hydration chart. So you assess the color of 529 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 4: your urine based on how hydrated or dehydrated you are. 530 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 4: So the optum color is like a light yellow straw color, 531 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 4: that's what we want. If it's darker, if it's brown. 532 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 4: If it's really bright yellow, you're very likely dehydrated. 533 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 2: You need to drink more. 534 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 4: If it's basically see through or like white, you're probably 535 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 4: over hydrated and you don't want to drink anymore, because, 536 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 4: like I said before, it can actually be quite dangerous 537 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 4: to have too much water. So there's a fine balance 538 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 4: between too much and too little. But if you are 539 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 4: having a headache, you're feeling dehydrated, your mouth is dry, 540 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 4: your urine is very dark, there are probably some clear 541 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 4: signs that not only are you under hydrated, you're probably 542 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 4: very likely dehydrated, which is not great, particularly for things 543 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 4: like physical performance, even mental performance and concentration. You absolutely 544 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 4: want to make sure you're getting in enough hydration throughout 545 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 4: the day. So my sort of I guess key recommendation 546 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 4: for you know, my average client, Susie is a cup 547 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 4: of water between meals and a cup of water with 548 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 4: your meals. Whether you want to be you know, bougie 549 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 4: and make that sparkling water or soda water up to you, 550 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 4: but I think linking one between meals and one with 551 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 4: meals will easily get you six cups a day, and 552 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 4: then tapering a couple of extra cups or bottles around 553 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 4: an exercise session or like you mentioned, Susie after a 554 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 4: meal or something like that will easily get you up 555 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 4: to that average kind of eight cups a day, But 556 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 4: just be mindful if you're falling outside of that average 557 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 4: rains you probably need a little bit more a little 558 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 4: bit less. 559 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: And also keep in mind that diet type soft drink 560 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: will mask the color of your urine. If you how 561 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: to diet cocra Pepsi max, you'll notice that urine will 562 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: be very clear after that. So that's sort of a 563 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: false positive response to that soft drink, So just be 564 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: mindful if you drink that, it might still mean you're 565 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: a little bit dehydrated and can do with a bit 566 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: more water, all rightly, And well, you had a little 567 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: cheeky trip to Audi, and we're both known to like Audi, 568 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: and you sent me a photo of a product that 569 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: I've used many times, so we're on the same page 570 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: with our recommendations. And this is a particularly budget friendly option, 571 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: which is so relevant right now. And so the product 572 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 1: we wanted to talk about today was the Audi pork Schnitzel. 573 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: It's crumb pork schnitzel. It takes twenty minutes to cook 574 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: serves for its five hundred grams, and it retails at 575 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: like nine to ninety five, I think, which is incredibly 576 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: cost effective for families. 577 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 3: But the reason we. 578 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: Love it is the nutritionals are so strong because and 579 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: I'm encouraging people more and more to do this when 580 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: you're buying meat that is perhaps crumbs so schnitzel and 581 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: supermarket or battered fish, and I got a whole lot 582 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: of slack online about it, or you should be recommending, oh, 583 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: just chicken breast or plain meats. Well, sure, but a 584 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: lot of people do like a crumbed convenient product, and 585 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: that's a million times better than getting a takeaway. So 586 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: I think, just back it up, people give me a break. 587 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 2: Back it up. 588 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: But what I do look for, though, is a high 589 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: percentage of meat, because certainly when it comes to the 590 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: crumb chickens out there and even fish, they can be 591 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 1: as long as forty fifty percent, which is too low 592 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: because if you're buying a protein based product should predominantly 593 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: be the protein. And the reason that we love this 594 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: AUDI product, and I should say it's in the fresh 595 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: meat section, is that it's seventy one percent astray. 596 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 3: In pork, which is really high. 597 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: You won't get many crumb products much higher than seventy. 598 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: And then it's eighteen percent bread crumb, which is a 599 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: wheat flour, salt, yees gluten parmesan cheese, which makes it 600 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: very tasty. There's a few little additives there, but even 601 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: though the list is reasonably long, the amounts of those 602 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: additives are very small, so I wouldn't even worry about them. 603 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: Because nutrition per serve, which is one hundred and twenty 604 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: five grams or one schnitzel, it's got a massive twenty 605 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: three grams of protein. It's only got five point three 606 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: grams of fat, which is very low, so it's not 607 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: technically low fat, but pretty close to it. Low and 608 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: saturated fat at one point eight grams. Fourteen point six 609 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: grams are carbohydrates and only two point five grams of sugars, 610 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: which is very low for a crumb. And the sodium 611 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: at two thirty four is also low considering it's got 612 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: some nice parmesan flavor through it. So I absolutely like 613 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: this product. I don't eat a huge amount of pork myself, 614 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: but I will often buy this for my family and 615 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: they really like it. It's got a nice flavor, it's 616 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: mostly meat. It tastes good, but as we've spoken about, 617 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: it cost effective, like ten dollars for lean protein to 618 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: serve the family. 619 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 3: You can't go wrong with that. Now. 620 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: I have had a look at all the Audi schnitzels. 621 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: They're not greatly and I haven't found a good Audi 622 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: chicken snitsel. But this pork schnitzel I'm a big fan 623 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: of and can't fault. So I think if you too 624 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: enjoy schnitzel, or even want to have something in the 625 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: freezer for that night where you haven't prepped a meal, 626 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: you get home late, and you can just serve that 627 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: with a salad or some quick cook chips in the 628 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: oven with some salad. Like great meal, lean, high protein, 629 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: source of iron and extremely cost effective. So head to 630 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: Aldi because big thumbs up from me. Did you actually 631 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: buy it and eat it? 632 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 2: No? I didn't. I'm not a massive snitzel person. 633 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 4: David loves them, but I didn't try this one. 634 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,719 Speaker 1: It looks good, it's pretty good like the schnitzel's nice. 635 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: I don't love pork, so I don't enjoy the meat, 636 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: but I cooked it for the boys, and the crumbs 637 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: really nice, like they like it. Everyone else likes it. 638 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: It's just me because I don't love pork. But as 639 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: a schnitzel, it's a really good product. Like if they 640 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: did that same crumb with chicken and I'd be all 641 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: over it. So it's really lean, really lean pork, fill 642 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: it and tastes great and yeah, my boys demolished it. 643 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 3: So good for the family. 644 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. 645 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. I went to Aldi looking because when my clients 646 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 4: really shops there and she loves it, and she said, 647 00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 4: can I have a snitzel? 648 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 2: And I was, oh, I don't think Aldie is that great. 649 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 2: Let me. 650 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 4: I was like, I'm going today anyway, let me have 651 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 4: a look, because I actually specifically go to Aldi four 652 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 4: their almond butter, because you know, with me and with 653 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 4: her nut allergies, like, I think it's quite cost effective 654 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 4: to get it from there, and I worry a little 655 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 4: bit about the cross contamination between the nuts, but I've 656 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 4: used the Aldi one from the beginning with her and 657 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 4: I know it's pretty good. So I go there and 658 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 4: I buy that and a couple of other Aldi staples, 659 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 4: And I was just having a look for my client 660 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 4: because she wanted something for her family, and that was 661 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 4: really the only good one I found there, which is 662 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 4: why I quickly stuffed it. 663 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 2: And sent it to you. 664 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 4: But two hundred calories for fill it twenty three grams 665 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 4: of protein, you can't go wrong technically. Is it a 666 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 4: process food, I mean not ultra process. It's not ultra 667 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 4: process exactly. It's a quick, convenient option if your options 668 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 4: are McDonald's drive through, a reheat meal or you know, 669 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 4: beautiful Australian. It's also Australian pork as well, which I 670 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 4: think is really good seventy one percent, twenty three grams 671 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 4: of protein, like you said, with a mixed salid bag, 672 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 4: Heat up some frozen veggies for the kids, you know, 673 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 4: throw some chips in the air fry, I serve it 674 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 4: with a bit of steam broccoli or something. It's a 675 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 4: winner for a meal. And it's less than ten dollars 676 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 4: for four snitzels. That's two dollars fifty and you're getting 677 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 4: in twenty three grams of protein. I mean for small children, 678 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 4: they don't need that much protein. But if you have 679 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 4: growing teenagers, particularly boys, who are like bottomless pits, this 680 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 4: is absolutely a product I would be recommending to fill 681 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 4: them up. If you prefer to get your own lean 682 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 4: astrained pork crumb at yourself. Absolutely, go right ahead. Is 683 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 4: that a better option? Yes, it really is. But Susie, 684 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 4: you and I are both busy mums. We know so 685 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 4: many of our listeners are looking for just quick hacks 686 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 4: to feed the family on a budget, and this is 687 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 4: absolutely one I will be recommending. So if you're someone 688 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 4: who's like, oh my god, Lean and Susie are recommending 689 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 4: crumb snitzel like jog on, we don't want to hear 690 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 4: your opinion. 691 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 2: This isn't the same for you. 692 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 4: But if you are someone who's really looking for a 693 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 4: fairly good austrain based product that is very budget friendly, 694 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 4: then this is definitely the one for you. 695 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 2: Head to Aldi. 696 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 4: It is called the crumbed pork Snitzel with a hint 697 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 4: of parmesan. So leem, what else do you go to 698 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 4: Aldie to get? And else do I get? I get 699 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 4: the stain remover. I was reading a review online. I 700 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 4: was spending a fortune on what's the big brand nappy? 701 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 4: Said the stain remover? Because you know when you got 702 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 4: little kids and they blow out their nappies and just 703 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 4: like I did, baby led winning with both of my 704 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 4: girls and every outfit of it's a nice branded Wonner, 705 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 4: it's just a came up branded one is just covered 706 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 4: in food by the end of the day. So I 707 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 4: was like, I need a good stain remover. Hands down 708 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 4: the Aldi stain remover. I was reviewing multiple mom's blogs. 709 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 4: Came up again and again it again, So that's something 710 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 4: that I get from there. I get the rice cakes 711 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 4: from there because particularly for little bubbs, they're quite good. 712 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 4: They're very low in sodium, so I use them, particularly 713 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 4: Fertilia the moment. She's still any ten months, so sodium 714 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 4: or salty is a concern. Little babies can't process too 715 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 4: much salts, so we want to keep their diet very 716 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 4: low salts. 717 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: So I get the rice crackers from there. 718 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 3: What about the chocolate land? 719 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 4: I do get the chocolate, Yes, yes, I absolutely and 720 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 4: got multiple packs. Get Yet we get the fake Yumi's 721 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 4: Mediterranean dick. 722 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 2: We love that. What else do I get from that? 723 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: She's talking about stain remover, I'll tell you what she goes. 724 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: She gets to Audi, I've been with us. She gets 725 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: the chocolate and the dumplings and the dumblings. 726 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 2: I forgot about the dumplings, my god. 727 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: And she gets the and the dip and she's about 728 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: stain remover, so she's been highly misleading. 729 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 3: I've shopped with her. I know exactly what she gets 730 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 3: throughout it. 731 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 4: You know, I know it's a nutrition podcast, but there 732 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 4: are moms out there who just need a good stain 733 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 4: remover in their lives, Susie. 734 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 2: So you know, head to Aldi. You can thank me later. 735 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,959 Speaker 3: I'm gonna actually want to try that alally. 736 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: To wrap us up today and to talk back to nutrition, 737 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: we've had actually two things. We've had a lot of 738 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: questions about what is an ultra processed food, so we 739 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: are going to cover that next episode off the back 740 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,239 Speaker 1: of your ultra process And also we've had a lot 741 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: of questions about bone broth off the back of soups. 742 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: Now is it that good for us? This was a 743 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: question off Instagram, but we've had a few of them 744 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: come through. So the reason that we're seeing a lot 745 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: of information about bone broths is that there's a molecule 746 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: in bone broth that comes from the bones called carnisine 747 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: and it's a nemino acid which is associated with improved 748 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,239 Speaker 1: immune functions. So actually clinically proven to improve sort of 749 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: cell migration of immune cells, to infected areas, so that 750 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: is where the chicken soup for the soul comes from. 751 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: There is an evidence space why we would have that 752 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,720 Speaker 1: when we were unwell. Do I think that buying bone 753 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: broth soup in the supermarket is that good for us? 754 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: I don't do it because I think if you really 755 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: want to have soup the health benefits, your best to 756 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: make your own broth with the carcass and then you're 757 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: getting it fresh so the molecules are there, and make 758 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: it with fresh vegetables at the time, and have it 759 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: if you're that committed to it, because I think whenever 760 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: you're processing something, it's then stored, kept it different temperatures, transported. 761 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: Could we made six months ago. Sure there may be 762 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: some health benefit, but does it justify the significantly higher 763 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: price on the soups in the supermarket. I don't think so. 764 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: So I am just very happy to buy regular, good 765 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 1: old soup because ultimately many stocks will be made from 766 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: that broth anyway. But if you really want the benefits 767 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: from a bone broth soup and the collagen and the 768 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: gelatine and the kindocene that you get, you've got to 769 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: make your own, which means getting the old bones, whether 770 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: it's after a restaurant you take your tea bone home, 771 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: or eating a chicken and actually cooking it up like 772 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 1: you know nnnas and grandmothers do everywhere. That is the 773 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: true way to get those health benefits from a soup. 774 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: And obviously it's very time consuming, it's quite messy, it's 775 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: a big process to make your own stock. But if 776 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: you're that committed to it, I would be doing it 777 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: at home rather than just paying extra money at the 778 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: supermarket for a bone broth, because it's probably not significantly 779 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: better than any old soup that's already been made. 780 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 4: And I must say, I don't think I've really ever 781 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 4: recommended bone broth unless I do have a client that 782 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 4: you know, might have daycare age kids and they're just 783 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 4: constantly getting sick. But even then, there's quite a few 784 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 4: things I would recommend from an immunity perspective before that. 785 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 4: But just to break it down a little bit for 786 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,240 Speaker 4: our listeners, bone broth is essentially a cross between stock 787 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 4: and broth. 788 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 2: So when you've got broth. 789 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 4: You're essentially just simmering vegetables, might be a bit of meat, 790 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 4: herbs and spices in there, and generally you're doing that 791 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 4: for about kind of thirty to forty minutes up to 792 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 4: an hour or two. Then you strain it and you 793 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 4: use it. That's essentially broth. When it comes to stock, 794 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 4: you're doing the same thing. You're simmering veggies, you know, carrots, onion, 795 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 4: celery plus some animal bones for about four hours or so, 796 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 4: then straining it. Bone broth, on the other hand, is 797 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 4: made from, like Susie said, using the bones of beefore 798 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 4: chicken or whatever it might be, plus simmering that with vegetables, 799 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 4: and it's typically cooked for a lot longer, so twenty 800 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:36,959 Speaker 4: four hours or more. 801 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 2: Then you strain it, then you season it. 802 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 4: And like Susie mentioned, there is a particular participle in 803 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 4: there that has been shown in the research. I went 804 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 4: right back and the study was back from two thousands, 805 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 4: so it's quite an old study now, Susie. It was 806 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 4: published in the journal called Chest Funnily enough, and the 807 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 4: bones in the soup were shown to provide a mild 808 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 4: anti inflammatory effect which helped to mitigate the symptoms of 809 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 4: per respiratory infections. So if I did have a client 810 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 4: that you know continuously was getting sick, was getting respiratory infections, it. 811 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 2: May be helpful. 812 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 4: And if you're unwell and you don't have time to 813 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 4: sit there and simier your own broth and bones for 814 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 4: multiple hours, sure, buying some supermarket bone broth might be beneficial, 815 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 4: but I wouldn't recommend it because Susie, online, I've seen 816 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 4: so many claims about bone broths, from healing your gut 817 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 4: to you know, curing, I don't know, like ADHD, like 818 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 4: just ridiculous things online, And the science doesn't support ninety 819 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 4: percent of the claims online. But the only one it 820 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 4: is really helpful for is those upper res infections. We 821 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 4: do have some research for, so that would really be 822 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 4: the only time I would be recommending for clients. Like 823 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 4: Susie said, it's probably better to make your own, but 824 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 4: if you want, you can buy it in the supermarket, 825 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 4: but you absolutely will be paying the price for it, 826 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 4: generally ten dollars plus for it, you know, a portion 827 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,839 Speaker 4: of bone bros. Now, the one thing I did want 828 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 4: to mention Susie is that there was actually another study 829 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 4: in twenty thirteen that showed that regular ingestion of bone 830 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 4: broth the bones in there are known to sequest a 831 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 4: heavy metals, So there is a risk with consuming too 832 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 4: much bone broth because that can lead to a risk 833 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 4: of lead contamination. So this is particularly risky for our 834 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 4: vulnerable populations, particularly our children and our babies. And there 835 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,760 Speaker 4: was a silly, silly what we call them, social media 836 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 4: influenza many years ago who actually developed a cookbook saying that, 837 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 4: you know, infants, instead of having baby formulas, should have 838 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,720 Speaker 4: bone broth. That was incredibly harmful. The book was pulled 839 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 4: from publishing. So it's not something we ever would recommend 840 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 4: for infants. It is not a replacement for nutrition. There's 841 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 4: very little nutrition in something like bone broth. Children infants 842 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:48,280 Speaker 4: really still need you know, healthy fats, veggies, protein, carbohydrates, 843 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 4: that sort of thing. So it is definitely not a 844 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 4: sole source of nutrition. It's not going to work any 845 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 4: wonders in your diet. It can be harmful if you're 846 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 4: having too much of it, but there is that small 847 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 4: benefit if you are somebody who you know regularly get 848 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 4: those upper respiratory infections. It is something that can be good, 849 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 4: but not I guess as a regular type thing. 850 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 2: I would only really be saying it. 851 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 4: You know, take it during the winter seasons, Take it 852 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 4: if you feel like your immunity is down a bit 853 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 4: or your a bit, you know, under the weather. I 854 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,240 Speaker 4: wouldn't just be saying, you know, make loads and loads 855 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 4: of bone bross constantly, because there is that little bit 856 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 4: of a risk that it does have high amounts of 857 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 4: let in the potentially from the bones. 858 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: You're probably just as good to have a bowl of 859 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: Edgie soup at a steak And if you go, all right, Liam, 860 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: that brings us to the end of the Nutrition Couch 861 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: for another week.
