1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Is your social calendar looking pretty full on over the 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: next few months. Are you feeling a little stressed about 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: how this will impact your food? Do you usually have 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: the best of intentions, yet finds you always eat much 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: more than you plan to when you go out. This 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: week on the Nutrition Couch, we discuss the psychology of 7 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: over eating and how you can take control this party season. Hi, 8 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: I'm Susie Burrell and Emily and Wood and eat week 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: we bring you the Nutrition Couch, the byeway Thy podcast 10 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: that keeps you up to date on everything you need 11 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: to know in the world of nutrition as well as 12 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: all things social eating. We have some new data to 13 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: share on the key life habits that can help you 14 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: live for extra decades. And our listener question is one 15 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: that will resonate with many listeners. It's about how do 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: you keep the carbs a little lower at night but 17 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: still create a satisfying dinner. So Lyanne, it is I 18 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: think party season already. I think every weekend until Christmas 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: is looking pretty full. There are so many events. I know, 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: I've got two little boys, and there seems to be 21 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: school parties every weekend, school events, sporting events, celebration and 22 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 1: then just regular catch ups with people, and that's even 23 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: before the Christmas party season. And I just had been 24 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: planning what we were going to chat about today, and 25 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: I thought I was talking to a client and they 26 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: had sent me their diary that came back and they'd 27 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: been at a kid's birthday party and you know, on 28 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: the diary with things like sausage rolls and party pies. 29 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: And another had gone to an event and found that 30 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: there was only sort of some quite sort of picky 31 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: type food like aaron chini and Barada boards and then 32 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: come home and still had a full dinner and there 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: was just a lot of that kind of how do 34 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: you juggle eating out with your regular diet, particularly if 35 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: you're trying to keep things pretty controlled. So I thought 36 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: it was really worth a chat about some of the 37 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: key tips that I would encourage people to follow, because 38 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: there is absolutely an art to maintain your weight and 39 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: your health and your diet goals even though you're socializing 40 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: a lot. Because I think the first thing is, it's 41 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: safe to say in many of the social situations where 42 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: in whether it's a kid's birthday party, whether it's work drinks, 43 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: whether it's an official event, a lot of the food 44 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: is not great quality because not for any other reason 45 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: than party food, particularly mass produced party food, is high fat, 46 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: high carb food, which is relatively cheap to cater for. 47 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: So if anything's catered, unless you're paying an absolute fortune 48 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: for seafood and sashimi and special stuff, mostly it's going 49 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: to be pastry based items. Spring rolls, aaron chini that's 50 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: deep fried, little mini pies, and sausage rolls. You know, 51 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: they're about one hundred and fifty to two hundred calories 52 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: per piece, particularly sort of larger ones. And the issue 53 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: with that kind of food is that you never really 54 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: sit and feel as if you've had a meal. You know, 55 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: in our minds leand we are very programmed to know 56 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: when we've had a meal, and for most of us, 57 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: that will be sitting down and having whatever our programming 58 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: is of a meal. You know, if you come from 59 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: Asian descent, a meal to you may always include a 60 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: bowl of rice and sort of mixed vegetable dishes that 61 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: you consume over several different plates. If you come from 62 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: an Anglo background, it may be that it's meat and 63 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: three vege on the plate. If you are European, it 64 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: might be having a plate of pasta followed by a 65 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: second course of a bit of protein and ending it 66 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: with salad. Whatever you're programming is that the meal is 67 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: you will keep eating until you've registered at as a meal. 68 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: So whenever we're in situations where it's finger food, that 69 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: is why you can so easily over consume that finger 70 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: food because there's very few vegetables, very little salad bulk. 71 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: It's quickly digested. 72 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: You know. 73 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: Those foods, particularly pastry based foods, are known and ranked 74 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: as some of the least satisfying on the Society Index. 75 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: So that explains why you can eat four or five 76 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: mini sausage rolls which have got like a thousand calories 77 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: that it doesn't even touch the sides, and then when 78 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: you get home, you feel like you haven't eaten a meal, 79 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: so you eat again, even though you've had quite a 80 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: lot to eat already, you know. And another client springing 81 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: to mind, where you know, on her diary she had 82 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: several different courses, you know, a spoonful of this, a 83 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: taste of that, a bit of bree and I sort 84 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: of quickly calculated the calories and knew she'd eaten five 85 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: six hundred, But she got home and felt like she 86 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: hadn't had anything to eat and ate it again, and 87 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: so I think is something that's common. It makes sense 88 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: when you're at these events, and as such, if your 89 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: goal is to survive party season without weight gain and 90 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: not negating all of the work that you've put into 91 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: your diet and lifestyle changes, it requires conscious decisions going 92 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: in and this is a really good time to discuss 93 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: it because it's before its first hit. So the first 94 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: thing I would say is there's a difference between a 95 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: very special occasion and a run of the mill event. 96 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: So if you're going to your anniversary dinner at your 97 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: favorite restaurant with your husband and you have three courses 98 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: and two bottles of wine, I couldn't care less go 99 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: for your life. But if it's one of the what 100 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: I would call routines socializing a which I've got one 101 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: this week, I've got a mum's drink at school. Now, 102 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to enjoy myself, but I'm certainly not going 103 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: to trust that the catering at that event is going 104 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: to be anything that I need. With my food, it's 105 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: probably going to be fried, it's probably going to be pastry, 106 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: and it's probably not going to. 107 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,119 Speaker 2: Keep me very very full. 108 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: So my golden rule is never go to an event hungry, 109 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: And the only reason is you will make more informed, 110 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: controlled decisions if you don't arrive at the after dinner 111 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: work drinks, or the fundraising event or the kid's birthday 112 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: party or your husband's best friends whatever, if you're not hungry, 113 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: so I would say about a couple of hours out, 114 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: you've got to have your meal. So that may mean 115 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: if you're going to a lunch event or a mid 116 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: after of anoon event, you might want to have an. 117 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: Early lunch or a late breakfast. 118 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: If you're going to a dinner or drinks, you want 119 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: to have something substantial at four five o'clock. You basically 120 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: want to have some sort of protein. You want to 121 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: have some sort of fresh food. So like, for example, 122 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: on Thursday, when I'm going to this event at four 123 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: or five o'clock, I will have a red capsicum, a 124 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: cut up cucumber, and probably some sort of cracker, maybe 125 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: with salmon or oysters, because. 126 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: I will go there and I won't be hungry. 127 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: Now, if there's amazing food there, if there's something I 128 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: want to try, sure I might have some, but I'm 129 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: not at that point where i'm so ravenous that I'm 130 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: eating everything in sight and it's actually food. I don't 131 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: even like that much a week just because I'm hungry. 132 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: So that's the first little trick. The next trick I 133 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: would say is I want you to be discerning with 134 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: the choices. I want you to take time, whether you're 135 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: at the kid's birthday party, the beautiful laid out plaster 136 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: table with cheese and dips, and really think about what 137 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: is good quality food there, because let's be honestly, am 138 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: when the food has sat out for ten twenty an hour, 139 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: two hours, it's not so flash. So really make sure 140 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: that if you're having it at something that you really 141 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: want taste it, enjoy it. But it's that eating on 142 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: AUTOQ that we really want to put an end to. 143 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: And then I think the third step is ideally you've eaten, well, 144 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: you've made good decisions. But if you haven't, and you 145 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: have eaten and you have thought to yourself, I'm off track. 146 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: You don't need to beat yourself up. You don't need 147 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: to go home and have a Macason on the way 148 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: home because you feel bad that you run off your 149 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: program and you're still hungry. If you're hungry when you 150 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: get home, make something relatively nutritious, a couple of crackers 151 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: with tuna or cottage cheese, some cut up veggies, a 152 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: vegetable omelet's something that's actually filling and got protein, and 153 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: then just get back on track the next day, because 154 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: that's what I find people will go, They'll be off 155 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: their plan, they feel guilty, and then it just starts 156 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: a cycle. And you can imagine coming up when we've 157 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: got two, three or four events a week, you just 158 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: never get your nutrition in. So if your focus is 159 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: actually getting your nutrition in no matter what, and then 160 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: eating a little bit of the extras and isolating those 161 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: very special social occasions, you will remain in control of 162 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: your food no matter where you are. And this is 163 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: a big skill that will help you to control and 164 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: regulate your intake for life. And if you look at 165 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: it as a bit of an experiment on how to 166 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: do that, it'll be interesting. It'll be novel rather than 167 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: feeling like you're a victim to your environment because you're 168 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: actually taking the active steps to take control of it 169 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: and not expect it to be any different than it is, 170 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: which means it's probably not going to be amazing quality 171 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: food in sixty seventy eighty percent of the events that 172 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: we go to. 173 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're so right, And that type of food is 174 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 3: really difficult to stop eating once you start, like, I 175 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 3: know that if I'm going to have a couple of 176 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 3: chips and quawk, it really takes a lot of mindful 177 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 3: attention to not eat the entire bowl of chips and 178 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 3: quack become so delicious. 179 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 4: So you know that food is. 180 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: Very Moorish and if you're eating it mindlessly, which we 181 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 3: tend to do what parties, you. 182 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 4: Know, Susie and I do it as well. We're busy, we're. 183 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: Catching up with people, we're not really paying attention to 184 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 3: what we're eating. It's very very easy to overreach. So 185 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: you really want to help yourself out and plan ahead 186 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 3: for these things. And that's probably the first step before 187 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 3: everything else is actually planned for it, don't you know? 188 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 3: Rush through the week, forget about the event, and then 189 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 3: get to Thursday night and be like, oh my goodness, 190 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 3: I've got no food in the house late, I've got 191 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 3: nothing to eat before I go. I'm going to go, 192 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: I'm stressed, i'm busy, I'm sleep deprived. And then you 193 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: get there, you eat everything in sight and you're disappointed 194 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 3: in yourself. So planning is absolutely key. And know, Susie said, 195 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 3: if you do find that you've kind of overindulged and 196 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 3: you're a bit disappointed in yourself when you get home, 197 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 3: actually check them with yourself and check in with your 198 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 3: body and say to yourself, how do I actually feel? 199 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: Because I had this really powerful conversation with one of 200 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 3: my clients this week, Susie, and she's made leaps and 201 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 3: bounds in terms of her relationship with food, her mindful 202 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 3: eating and just registering how her body feels. And that 203 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 3: exact thing happened. She was sort of doing a little 204 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 3: more mindless eating because she was busy, she was catching 205 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: up a few people. She hadn't seen it in a while. 206 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: And she got home and she said, I'm going to 207 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: make dinner now, just something really light, you know. I 208 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 3: think she's going to do like a steak, a bit 209 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 3: of baked potato and some veggies. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. 210 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 3: And I just said to her, no problems at all, 211 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: you know, no stress, but I just want you to 212 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 3: ask yourself, how do I actually feel? 213 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 4: And it took about five. 214 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 3: Le ten minutes and she came back to me and 215 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 3: she said, you know what, my brain wants food, but 216 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 3: I don't think my body needs food. And I said, 217 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 3: that's really powerful recognition. What can we do around that? 218 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 3: So actually just check in with your body and say, 219 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 3: you know, does my body actually need food or is 220 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: it my brain thinking that I I haven't really had 221 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: anything and I should have something to eat. And so 222 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 3: I think at the end of the day she had. 223 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 3: I think she cut up a carrot stick and had 224 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 3: a yopro and that was all she kind of needed 225 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 3: because she recognized that she hadn't had any protein or 226 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: vegetables at the dinner, but she'd had a lot of 227 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 3: carbs and a lot of fat at the party of 228 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 3: the sushi. 229 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 4: She was at. 230 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 3: So a yopo and a carrot stick, to me, that's 231 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 3: a snack. It's not even a dinner. And at the time, 232 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 3: she thought, you know, my body feels like a full meal, 233 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: but I don't actually need that full meal. My body's 234 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 3: actually feeling pretty heavy, pretty sluggish right now. I think 235 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 3: I could just get away with a little bit of 236 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 3: protein and a little bit of crunch, Like she just 237 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 3: wanted something in her mouth to feel like she she'd 238 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: had had a little something when when she went home. 239 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 3: So that's the first point. Well, the first point is planning. 240 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 3: The second point is to check in with your body 241 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 3: and actually see how you feel. And the last one, 242 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: Susie is if you're eating out at restaurants and cafes, 243 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 3: have a say in the place beforehand. Because a lot 244 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 3: of clients said in me, Hayleyanne, I'm going to go out, 245 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 3: you know, on Friday night with my friends. Can you 246 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 3: help me with the menu? I'm like, yep, we have 247 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 3: cool have a look beforehand. Send me it's through, and 248 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 3: we'll pick something together. And then it gets to like 249 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 3: Thursday or something and say, hey, how'd you go? 250 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 4: Did you pick that? They're like, oh, I'm busy. I'm busy. 251 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 3: I will But it gets to Friday night and they're like, oh, 252 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 3: my friends said we're going here, and they send me 253 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 3: through the menu and I'm literally just like, what the 254 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 3: heck got? There is nothing good on that menu. There's 255 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 3: zero serves of extra veggies, we can get, none of 256 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 3: the proteins. Lean like, it's just a shamozzle from the 257 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 3: very beginning. So you have to if you're eating out, 258 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 3: try your best to have a say in the place beforehand. 259 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 3: Try your best to look up the menu in advance 260 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 3: and order an extra side of veggies, even if. 261 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 4: It costs more. 262 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 3: Because this is another conversation this week Susie as well. 263 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 3: I had with a client where I said, we're celebrating 264 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 3: her wins, and I said, what are you really proud 265 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 3: of that you've done this week? And she said, you 266 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 3: know what, I'm super proud that when I went out, 267 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 3: I had the choice that we'd chosen together, which was 268 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: perfect for my requirements and in line with my goals, 269 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 3: and even though it costs more, I still made that choice. 270 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 3: So generally, you know, we like to budget when we 271 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 3: go out, but sometimes the healthy food options are a 272 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 3: little bit more expensive. So that was her big win 273 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 3: for the week. She's like, even though it costs more, 274 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 3: I chose the better option for my body, for my 275 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 3: goals and for my requirements. So that was a big 276 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 3: win for her. So don't be afraid to spend that 277 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 3: little bit extra money on the healthier option, because it's 278 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 3: better to invest in your health now that it is 279 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 3: in five or ten years time when you've got diabetes, 280 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 3: you've got high cholesterol on your own medication for the 281 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 3: rest of your life. So I know budgeting is a 282 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 3: big thing, but we really want to think about it 283 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 3: from a health perspective first. So they're probably my tips 284 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 3: when you're eating out at restaurants. Pick the restaurant first 285 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 3: if you can, don't let someone else deside, look up 286 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 3: the menu in advance, and order the extra sided veggies 287 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 3: or the leaner meal. Even if it's within budget, even 288 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 3: it can cost you a little bit more, it's one 289 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: hundred percent worth it in the long run from a 290 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: health perspective. 291 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: I was also going to say, I think during this 292 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: period of time, it's good in your mind to think 293 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: that one meal needs to be based around veggies for salad. So, 294 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: for example, if you are going out for dinner, that's 295 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: a great time to actually have vegetables at lunchtime because 296 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: it takes the pressure off trying to get that type 297 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: of food in the night meal. So if you are 298 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: at an Italian and you know it is going to 299 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: be pizza and then some salad, you know you haven't 300 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: had your cook veggies. 301 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 2: At least you've had them at lunchtime. 302 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: So I think sort of always making sure one of 303 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: those meals, or if you're going out for a big lunch, 304 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: have a big vegetable omelet or a veggie juice for bread. 305 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: So you tick the box and get some got some 306 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: of that bulk through your system, so you know, I 307 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: don't disagree. But we were at the local bowling club 308 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: and it's one of those menu that is pretty dodge, 309 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: like a lot of fried food, pizza for the kids. 310 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: But they do have on the menu a kid's snackplate 311 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: and on it it's got celery, cucumber and homice. So 312 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: I've been going and I order a couple of those 313 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: kids snackplates and I sort of munched on it with 314 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: a glass of wine before everyone comes, and do you know, 315 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: the entire table eat it. They all eat the carrots 316 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: and the celery because it's there. So that's the other thing, 317 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: like you described just ordering it. People will eat what's 318 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: readily available if it's there. So if you are catering 319 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: or taking a plate when you are socializing, take the 320 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: platter with the locale beech trip, dip the taziki and 321 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: just cut all the veggies and you'll eat them and 322 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: have access to them. So again, you know, I had 323 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: someone say, well, I couldn't just take my own food there, 324 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 1: and I said, well, you could have taken a plate 325 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: with some veggies, so really challenge what you actually can do, 326 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: and in many cases you can to some extent self 327 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: cater or take what you do need just to tick 328 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: the box on it. So hopefully there's a few tips 329 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: to thrive and survive and you'll just feel better in 330 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: your tummy land because all that salty food and alcohol 331 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: ultimately doesn't leave us feeling very good ow either, and 332 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: our clothes becoming a bit tighter and we're not feeling great. 333 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: So you actually feel better at the end of the 334 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: party season simply display eating more fresh food as part 335 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: of it one. 336 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 3: Hundred percent and then switching gears a little bit, but 337 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: still sort of talking about health. Where you came across 338 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 3: a great little study, Susie that was done in Boston 339 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: and it's published in the Journal of Nutrition, and it 340 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 3: basically talks about there are eight habits that you can 341 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 3: add to your middle ages to increase your lifespan by decades, 342 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 3: not one decade, decade with an s. So I thought, 343 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: this is a really interesting article, Susie. So I pulled 344 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: it up, and it does say that you should adopt 345 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 3: these habits in your middle age. But you know, I 346 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 3: honestly think these are habits that any single person. 347 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 4: Could really work towards. 348 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 3: Whether you're eighteen or whether you're sixty eight or eighty eight, 349 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 3: even it doesn't really matter. I think these are great 350 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 3: healthy habits. 351 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 4: To start with. 352 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 3: So off the top eight, or of all of the eight. 353 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 3: The first one is never smoke, and if you do smoke, 354 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 3: the obvious choice would be to try and quick if 355 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: you can, or get a little bit of support around that. 356 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 3: Second one is being physically active regularly, not sporadically going 357 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 3: to the gym every couple of weeks. You know, go 358 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: for seven days and then come off for three weeks 359 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 3: and then start back again and quit again. It's regularly 360 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 3: being active with your physical activity regime. The third one 361 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 3: is to refrain from binge drinking. Now, I want to 362 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 3: come back to that one, Susie, because that's a really 363 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 3: interesting one that honestly, as Australians we have a big 364 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 3: issue with. The fourth one is practicing good sleep hygiene. 365 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 3: The fifth one is eating a healthy diet, and we 366 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 3: would hope that as regular listeners and vans of the 367 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 3: Nutrition Couch, you guys are all over that one. 368 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 4: So we won't cover that one too much. 369 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 3: Number six is keeping your stress levels low, which, let's 370 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 3: be honest, Susie, you have two twin boys. I've got 371 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 3: two babies under two. It's a little bit difficult. So 372 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 3: we can kind of knock that one off the list 373 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 3: for any busy parents out there or anyone in high 374 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 3: pressure jobs, but do your best to work towards keeping 375 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 3: your stress low. The seventh one is engaging in positive 376 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 3: social relationships. 377 00:15:59,080 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 4: I love that. 378 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 3: And the final one is avoiding addiction to opioids. And 379 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 3: that's a really interesting one. When I first read the list, 380 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 3: I thought, that's a really random thing to put on 381 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 3: a healthy habit list, But you know, obviously those painkillers 382 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 3: are highly addictive. There's quite a few good Netflix documentaries 383 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: and docto dramas on the oipiod epidemic in America, if 384 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 3: anybody's kind of interested. I just found it really interesting. 385 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 3: I watched a i think a documentary and then a 386 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 3: docudrama kind of of the same thing of the opioid epidemic, 387 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 3: and it was really eye opening that just very normal 388 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 3: people who might have had like a workplace injury or 389 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 3: something like that, can just so easily get hooks and 390 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 3: the whole their whole life just becomes completely unraveled. So yeah, 391 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 3: it's interesting if you want to have a look at 392 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 3: Netflix as a couple on there. But of these habits, Susie, 393 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 3: I think the couple that we should really be looking 394 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 3: towards this regular physical activity, refraining from binge drinking, practicing 395 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: good sleep hygiene, and engaging in positive social relationships. So 396 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 3: I'm going to hand over to you to talk a 397 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 3: little bit about binge drinking because just before we got on, 398 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 3: we sort of went you know, that's a really interesting 399 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 3: one because as Australians, we absolutely do binge drink and 400 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 3: we almost celebrated and we almost like encourage each other 401 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 3: to do that, if that makes sense. Like there has 402 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 3: been many times where I've gone out and you know, 403 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 3: my friends have said to me, oh, have a drink. No, no, 404 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 3: I'm not drinking, No I have a drink. Have a drink, 405 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 3: Like you almost peer pressured into having a drink. You 406 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 3: can't go to a backyard barbecue these days and just 407 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 3: say I'm not going to have anything, like you just 408 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 3: get the weirdest looks. In the Australian culture, I feel 409 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 3: like drinking is something that is so heavily embedded that 410 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 3: you're the odd one out if you're not having an 411 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 3: alcoholic drink. 412 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 4: Do you feel that way as well? 413 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: Certainly, I see that it's a lot of all or nothing, 414 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: so there's sort of long periods of nothing, and then 415 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: people are having big drinking events, like drinking a couple 416 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: of bottles at a time. So we had a discussion 417 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: because the alcohol guidelines in Australia have changed, and it 418 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: used to be when I studied, it was always having 419 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: at least two alcohol free days a week, and I 420 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: think no more than was it four standard drinks at 421 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: any one occasion, which is still quite hard. 422 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 4: I think the females it was two, wasn't it? In 423 00:17:58,800 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 4: males it was four. 424 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,959 Speaker 1: I think the main thing that's changes that it used 425 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: to always be two alcohol free days, but that sort 426 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: of is gone. And the new guidelines are no more 427 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: than ten standard drinks a week and no more in 428 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: four in one sitting, and I just think that's really 429 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: quite high overall, and it doesn't recommend any alcohol free days, 430 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: but that is certainly not what I suggest with my clients. 431 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: I still suggest at least two alcohol free days, and 432 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: quite frequently I've been saying to some of my clients 433 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: wine on a Monday, like really, like you're not having 434 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: a little break. So I try and at least create 435 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: that space, because you know, like all behavior, whether it's 436 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: drinking wine or eating chocolate each night, it tends to 437 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: increase over time and what started as a small glass 438 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: becomes a large one and then before you know you're 439 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: having half a bottle. And certainly many listeners can attest 440 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: to that through COVID, where it became a big part 441 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: of the day to have a drink because it was 442 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: the high light. 443 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 2: So I think, you know, my position on. 444 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: Alcohol is it's a personal choice, but it's important to 445 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: know that in Australia we do tend to drink way 446 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: too much. Is a poor is not a standard one 447 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: hundred MELI tens to be double that, so often people 448 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: having glass and wine it's actually two. So I think 449 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: the first thing is to have a couple of days off. 450 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: I think just slowing down. In my experienced drinkers are 451 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: fast drinkers. You know, they polish off a glass within 452 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: ten twenty minutes. I enjoy a drink, don't get me wrong, 453 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: as does lead. You know, we love to sit down 454 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: with a champagne, but I do notice the speed in 455 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: which regular drinkers. So if you are a drinker, you know, 456 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: really make that glass one hundred mil last forty minutes 457 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: an hour and slow it down, and even coming into 458 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: party season, make the most of some of those zero 459 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: alcohol options because it means you're still social having something 460 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: you know to hold on to. Whether it's the beer 461 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: or the non alcoholic wines. They don't taste the same, 462 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 1: but most of them are pretty low calorie, and I 463 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: do think weaning right down having a break without it, 464 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: and you know, really trying to limit those big sort 465 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: of events and making sure that that's not happening two, 466 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: three or four times per week because it's really not 467 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,959 Speaker 1: good for our liver, and certainly we see that on markers. 468 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: It's very pro inflammatory. If you impery, it will exacerbate symptoms. 469 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: It really has a profound impact on sleep and certainly motivation. 470 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: You know, the evidence will show that you sort of 471 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: feel tired and groggy and less likely to make strong 472 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: decisions or be active in night. 473 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 2: You don't have as good to sleep, so you don't 474 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 2: wake up feeling refreshed. 475 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: So if you're one of the people who knows that 476 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: you have a little bit too much, starting to wean 477 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: down and then at least same for two alcohol free days, 478 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: I think is pretty good recommendation. 479 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, And speaking of sleep, I know a lot of 480 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 3: people use alcohol to sleep like it helps, you know, 481 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 3: decrease their stress levels and makes them a little bit sleepy. 482 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 3: So I've heard a lot of people say I actually 483 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 3: need alcohol to sleep. I mean certainly, I've had a 484 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 3: loved one that was very much like that, and when 485 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 3: I was explaining to them, it actually impacts the quality 486 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 3: of your sleep. So although you might feel like and 487 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 3: indeed it might help you to get to sleep, you 488 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 3: never actually reach that really deep stage of iram sleep 489 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 3: that you really need to wake up and feel rested 490 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 3: the next day. So if you're if you're someone who 491 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 3: drinks regularly, just wake up the next day, or just 492 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 3: track this within a week or two and actually notice 493 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 3: how you feel. If you're waking up feeling groggy, if 494 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 3: you're waking up feeling like you've been hit by a bus, 495 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 3: if you're getting six, seven, eight hours in bed and 496 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 3: you're still waking up feeling exhausted, it's very likely the 497 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 3: impact of alcohol because you never actually reach that really 498 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 3: deep stage of sleep which is required to actually help 499 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 3: you wake up and feel well rested the next day. 500 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 3: So certainly, I do think that many Australians drink far 501 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 3: too much, and like you said, Susie, I think the 502 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 3: guidelines I think it's too much. I'm pretty strict with 503 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 3: my clients on alcohol, particularly when their goals is fat loss. 504 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 3: I'm sort of like you're max out at three or 505 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 3: four drinks a week. That's pretty much my recommdation for 506 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 3: most clients. I don't care how active you are. I 507 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 3: don't care how much weight you have to lose. It's 508 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 3: not good like I'm no pureist like you and I 509 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 3: absolutely enjoy a glass of wine, but we're not someone 510 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 3: who will have, you know, a couple of bottles a 511 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: week or anything like that. 512 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 4: We really enjoy it. 513 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 3: When we're celebrating or when we're out socializing where it's 514 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 3: a part of, you know, the social aspect. We're not 515 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 3: using it to sleep, we're not using it to reduce stress. 516 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 3: We're not using it because it's a reward because it's 517 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 3: Thursday or because it's Friday. I think when that tends 518 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 3: to happen, we do start to run into troubles because, 519 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 3: as you said, a small glass becomes a bigger glass, 520 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 3: half a bottle becomes a bottle, one bottle becomes two bottles. 521 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 3: It's one of those things where it can quickly spiral 522 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 3: get out of control before you've even really realized it. 523 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 3: So it's a really good kind of reminder this social 524 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 3: season to just keep a check on your alcohol intake. 525 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 3: And we did cover non alcoholic beverages a couple of 526 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 3: episodes ago, and there are some really really fabulous ones 527 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 3: on the market. There's a couple of non alcoholic GNT 528 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 3: options in the market for very very lean calories, so 529 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 3: really good options just to you know, save a little 530 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 3: bit in the budget as well, because let's be honest, 531 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 3: if you're going out for a drink at a paba 532 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 3: or a restaurant or a nice place, easily upwards of 533 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 3: a you know, ten twenty thirty forty dollars a glass 534 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 3: of wine, depending on which one you choose. 535 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: And I think it comes for me down to quality 536 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: because when you said off three or four drinks a week, 537 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: I think, oh, I have that, probably not so often 538 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: unless I was actually going out and having a night 539 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: out with my girlfriends. But I think it comes down 540 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: to me for quality, because if I'm at a drinks 541 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: event and it's not good quality wine or it's not 542 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: good quality champagne, I won't have it. I don't waste 543 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: my calories and alcohol that doesn't taste great. So I 544 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: think that's the other thing to keep in your mind 545 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: party season wise, when you go to sort of drinks 546 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: events where you know the catering is a bit on 547 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: the dodge side, you know, swat for a sparkling water 548 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: because you want to save it. If you're going to 549 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: have a gorgeous glass of champagne or a nice spirit 550 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: that you make at home or margarita's with your friends, amazing, 551 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: But again, try not to waste it on poor quality wine. 552 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: And there's certainly plenty of that around com party season. 553 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's a good way of looking 554 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: at it, to quality over quantity. All right, Leanne, Well, 555 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: to wrap us up, I had a good question coming 556 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: through on our Instagram, which I love. We do read 557 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: through all of the questions that come through and often 558 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: grab one, so feel free to keep sending them. And 559 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: if we don't reply, it's not because we don't aren't grateful. 560 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: We just get quite a few, but I saw this 561 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: one today and I thought it might resonate. It was 562 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: if I'm trying to keep my carbs low at dinner 563 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: to support fat loss and wait control, how do I 564 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: create a satisfying meal? And I thought that is really 565 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: interesting because that's actually for me. Leanne got a lot 566 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: to do with the psychology of what a meal is 567 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: because for me, obviously working in this field over many years, 568 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: for me, dinner is light of programmed to be like 569 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: protein and vegetables. I certainly don't look at my plate 570 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: and think, oh, there's no potato, it's not dinner. I 571 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: think that you know, dinner is salad, fish, vegetable, you know, 572 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: that light kind of meal. Whereas I do know that 573 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: many of us a programmed to sort of see our 574 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,479 Speaker 1: plate to have a piece of protein veggies and then 575 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: the potato or pasta or rice in the corner. So 576 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: what I would say is that lower carb meals for me, 577 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 1: it's about making them taste nice. Because if you create 578 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: like a piece of boiled chicken, some pumpkin and some 579 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: green beans on the plate, let's be honest, it's pretty dull. 580 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: But if you roast that pumpkin, an extra version olive 581 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: oil and driusle it with a little bit of feta, 582 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: or do the green beans, is there some slithered almonds 583 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: or garlic in the pan, or marinate your chicken breas 584 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: suddenly you transform that meal from boring and plain to 585 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: a delicious taste sensation. So I think a lot of 586 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: the issue with lower carb meals as sometimes we don't 587 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: make them taste great, and it can be as simple 588 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: as adding one flavor, some ingredient, even to a salad 589 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: like we've described adding the roasted broad beans to a 590 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: mix salad or the Danish fetter to give it flavor, 591 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,719 Speaker 1: or crumbing your piece of chicken or fisher. You get 592 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of carb, but it's not the heavier carb. 593 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: So that's the first thing I think. If your lower 594 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: car meals are boring, we've just got to spice them 595 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: up a bit and make them a bit tasty. But 596 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: the other thing is really questioning what your belief of 597 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: a meal is, because that will be programmed. You would 598 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: have been taught that in your culture or growing up 599 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: what was a meal on your plate, Whereas what we're 600 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: doing is simply evolving that to align with modern life 601 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: and your nutritional needs, which changes we generally get older. 602 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: And so whilst you may have needed or are the 603 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: calories of a pasta or rice based meal when you're younger, 604 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: if you're in your forties fifties, you probably just don't 605 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: need as many calories. So it's shifting our perception of 606 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: what a balanced meal is as well as making a 607 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: lighter meal taste good. And to me, that's a two 608 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: pronged answer that if your low car meals are a 609 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: bit boring and you probably need to flavor them up 610 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: a little bit more and create something that you too 611 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: look forward to having rather than feeling like it's a restrictive, 612 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: boring meal. 613 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 3: And for me, I think it's more about volume meeting 614 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 3: because I know or even just understanding and lighter meal 615 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 3: doesn't mean no card like it certainly can of that's 616 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 3: your goal, but it just for most of us means 617 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 3: a reduction in carp hydros. Right, So instead of having 618 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 3: if you would normally have two cups of pasta with 619 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 3: your dinner, why don't you have them and have one 620 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,959 Speaker 3: cup and have a little bit of sort of like 621 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 3: zucchini noodles spiral through that if it's a bolonnaise or 622 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 3: something like that, or if you're having, you know, normally 623 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 3: a cup of rice, have half a cup and bulk 624 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 3: it up with a cup of cauliflower rice. Like, to me, 625 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 3: when I think light meals, I still like a really 626 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 3: volume dense dinner. So I still like a full plate 627 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 3: at dinner time. If I was to sit down and have, 628 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 3: as you said, like a little bit of chicken, a 629 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 3: couple of green beans, and a small piece of pumpkin, 630 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 3: my mind would be like what. 631 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 4: The heck exist? 632 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 3: Because I'm like, I'm still hungry looking at it. And 633 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 3: so for me, it's all about that volume based eating. 634 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 3: So if you don't have and let's be honest, ninety 635 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 3: five percent of Australians do not eat the required amount 636 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 3: of vegetables each day. So if you don't have enough 637 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 3: vegetables on your plate, you're never going to have that 638 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 3: volume dense meal that can be supportive of fat loss, 639 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 3: even if you've got a little bit of carb on there. 640 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 3: If you don't do you're really going to work on 641 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 3: how to how do you increase the volume of the meals. 642 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 3: You can use things like zucchino noodles. You can use 643 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 3: things like cauliflower rice. You can use some of those slenderer, 644 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 3: you know, noodle options as well. There's a lot of 645 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 3: options that you can use to add volume to the 646 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 3: meal that are quite low calorie. But also, as I said, 647 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 3: don't forget that low carb doesn't mean no carb. So 648 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 3: I love using those little baked potatoes because the research 649 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 3: is actually shown us that potatoes are one of the 650 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 3: top foods that aids. 651 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 4: Tidy in a meal. 652 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: So it really helps to keep us full and satisfied. 653 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 3: So I'm not talking that we have to eat a 654 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 3: kilo of roast potatoes, and I'm certainly not saying do 655 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 3: you know deep fried chips or anything like that, But 656 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 3: you know a jacket potato, even just a small one, 657 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 3: And there's some brands out there like this spud Lights 658 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 3: for about twenty five percent reduced carbs compared to a 659 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 3: normal potato. I use them quite regularly for a lot 660 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 3: of my insulin resistant or diabetic clients. They're quite good 661 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 3: even a small potato. As Ussy said, if you duice 662 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 3: a little bit of extraversion olive oil, some herbs and 663 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 3: bacon in the ovens, it's nice and crispy, alongside maybe 664 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 3: some pumpkin and some mushrooms and a bit of broccolini. 665 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 3: Like again adding some volume to that plate. That can 666 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 3: be a really nourishing and satisfying meal by just having 667 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 3: a little bit of carbohydrate in the meal and also 668 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 3: just being aware of what carbohydrates are. Like one of 669 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 3: my favorite salad mixes, and we went through some bag 670 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 3: salad mixes on a couple of episodes ago, Susie, but 671 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 3: one of my favorite ones is the Asian salad mix 672 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 3: that calls them always do. And somebody messaged me the 673 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 3: other day because I had some salmon and just the 674 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 3: Asian salad and they said, oh, do you not have 675 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 3: carbs with that? And I said, oh, there's carbs in 676 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 3: that meal. The meal itself in the salad mix has 677 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 3: corn corners of carbohydrate. It has krispy noodles on top, 678 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 3: and the dressing itself has a bit of sugar thrilled 679 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 3: as well. If you actually look on the back of 680 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 3: that packet, it says the salad serves four. David and 681 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 3: I split it so we get two servings out of it, 682 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 3: so I have a double portion. If you look on 683 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 3: the back of it, it's about thirty something grams of 684 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 3: carbohydrate for that double portion, So in that bag of 685 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 3: salad is the equivalent of about two slices of bread 686 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 3: thirty grams of carbohydrate, So it's actually got an adequate 687 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 3: amount of carbohydrate in there. So again, just reading your 688 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 3: labels and being aware of what you're having, because people think, oh, 689 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 3: she's just having a salad with salmon. I'm still hungry, 690 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 3: but I know that, and my brain knows that I've 691 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 3: actually got enough energy and carbohydrate in that meal. Do 692 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 3: I sometimes put a couple of air fry chips on 693 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 3: the side, Absolutely? Do Sometimes I have it without them. Absolutely, 694 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 3: It's really depending on what else I've had throughout the day. 695 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 3: But I really think that knowledge is power and understanding 696 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 3: what a carbohydrate is and how to kind of adapt 697 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 3: that to your meal and adapt that to your goals 698 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 3: can be a really smart way to achieve the results 699 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 3: that you want long term. 700 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: That's so true about those salad bags. And they're definitely 701 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: only two serfs, I agree, definitely not for all Right. Well, 702 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: that brings us to the end of another nutrition catch 703 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: episode for this Sunday.
