1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Is your social calendar looking pretty full on over the 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: next few months. Are you feeling a little stressed about 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,399 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 find 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 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: week on the Nutrition Couch, we discuss the psychology of 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: over eating and how you can take control this party season. 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Susie Burrell and Emilie and Wood and. 9 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: Each week we bring you The Nutrition Couch, the bi 10 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: weekly podcast that keeps you up to date on everything 11 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: you need to know in the world of nutrition as 12 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: well as all things social eating. We have some new 13 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: data to share on the key life habits that can 14 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: help you live for extra decades and our list of 15 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 1: question is one that will resonate with many listeners. It's 16 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: about how do you keep the carbs a little lower 17 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: at night but still create a satisfying dinner? So leanne 18 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: it is? I think party season already. I think every 19 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: weekend until Christmas is looking pretty full. There are so 20 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: many events. I know, I've got two little boys and 21 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: there seems to be school parties every weekend, school events, 22 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: sporting events, celebration and then just regular catch ups with people, 23 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: and that's even before the Christmas party season. And I 24 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: just had been planning what we were going to chat 25 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: about today, and I thought I was talking to a 26 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: client and they had sent me their diary that came back, 27 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: and they'd been at a kid's birthday party, and you know, 28 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: on the diary was things like sausage rolls and party pies. 29 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: And another had gone to an event and found that 30 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: there was only sort of some quite sort of picky 31 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: type food like aaron chini and Barada boards and then 32 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: come home and still had a full dinner and there 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: was just a lot of that kind of how do 34 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,759 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 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: it was really worth a chat about some of the 37 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: key tips that I would encourage people to follow, because 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: there is absolutely an art to maintain your weight and 39 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: your health and your diet goals even though you're socializing 40 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: a lot. Because I think the first thing is it's 41 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: safe to say in many of the social situations where 42 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: in whether it's a kid's birthday party, whether it's work drinks, 43 00:02:12,480 --> 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 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: than party food, particularly mass produced party food, is high fat, 46 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: high carb food, which is relatively cheap to cater for. 47 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: So if anything's catered, unless you're paying an absolute fortune 48 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: for seafood and tashimi and special stuff, mostly it's going 49 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: to be pastry based items. Spring rolls, aaron chini that's 50 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: deep fried, little mini pies, and sausage rolls. You know, 51 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: they're about one hundred and fifty to two hundred calories 52 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: per piece, particularly sort of larger ones. And the issue 53 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: with that kind of food is that you never really 54 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: sit and feel as if you've. 55 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: Had a meal. 56 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: You know, in our minds, Leanne, we are very programmed 57 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: to know when we've had a meal, and for most 58 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: of us, that will be sitting down and having whatever 59 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: our programming is of a meal. You know, if you 60 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: come from Asian descent, a meal to you may always 61 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: include a bowl of rice and sort of mixed vegetable 62 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: dishes that you consume over several different plates. If you 63 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: come from an Anglo background, it may be that it's 64 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: meat and three vege on the plate. If you are European, 65 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: it might be having a plate of pasta followed by 66 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: a second course of a bit of protein and ending 67 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: it with salad. Whatever you're programming is that the meal 68 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: is you will keep eating until you've registered at as 69 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: a meal. So whenever we're in situations where it's finger food, 70 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: that is why you can so easily over consume that 71 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: finger food because there's very few vegetables, very little salad bulk. 72 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: It's quickly digested. 73 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: You know. 74 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: Those foods, particularly pastry based. 75 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: Foods, are known and ranked to some of the least 76 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: satisfying on the Society index. So that explains why you 77 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: can eat four or five mini sausage rolls which have 78 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: got like a thousand calories and it doesn't even touch 79 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: the sides, and then when you get home, you feel 80 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: like you haven't eaten a meal, so you eat again, 81 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: even though you've had quite a lot to eat already, 82 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: you know. And another client springing to mind, where you know, 83 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: on her diary she had several different courses, you know, 84 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: a spoonful of this, a taste of that, a bit 85 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: of bree and I sort of quickly calculated the calories 86 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: and knew she'd eaten five six hundred, But she got 87 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: home and felt like she hadn't had anything to eat 88 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: and ate it again, and so I think is something 89 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: that's common. It makes sense when you're at these events, 90 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: and as such, if your goal is to survive party 91 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: season without weight gain and not negating all of the 92 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: work that you've put into your diet and lifestyle changes, 93 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: it requires conscious decisions going in and this is a 94 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: really good time to discuss it because it's before its 95 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: first hit. So the first thing I would say is 96 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: there's a difference between a very special occasion and a 97 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: run of the mill event. So if you're going to 98 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: your anniversary dinner at your favorite restaurant with your husband 99 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: and you have three courses and two bottles of wine, 100 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: I couldn't care less go for your life. 101 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: But if it's one of the what I. 102 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: Would call routines socializing your ca Asians, which I've got 103 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: one this week, I've got a Mum's drink at school. Now, 104 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: I'm going to enjoy myself, but I'm certainly not going 105 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: to trust that the catering at that event is going 106 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: to be anything that I need. With my food, it's 107 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: probably going to be fried, it's probably going to be pastry, 108 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: and it's probably not going to keep me very, very full. 109 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: So my golden rule is never go to an event hungry. 110 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: And the only reason is you will make more informed, 111 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: controlled decisions if you don't arrive at the after dinner 112 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: work drinks, or the fundraising event, or the kid's birthday 113 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: party or your husband's best friends whatever, if you're not hungry, 114 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: So I would say about a couple of hours out, 115 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: you've got to have your meal. So that may mean 116 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: if you're going to a lunch event or a mid 117 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: after of anoon event, you might want to have an 118 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: early lunch or a late breakfast. If you're going to 119 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: a dinner or drinks, you want to have something substantial 120 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: at four five o'clock. You basically want to have some 121 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: sort of protein. You want to have some sort of 122 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: fresh food. So like, for example, on Thursday, when I'm 123 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: going to this event at four or five o'clock, I 124 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: will have a red capsicum, a cut up cucumber, and 125 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: probably some sort of cracker, maybe with salmon or oysters, 126 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: because I will go there and I won't be hungry. Now, 127 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: if there's amazing food there, if there's something I want 128 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: to try, sure I might have some, but I'm not 129 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: at that point where I'm so ravenous that I'm eating 130 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: everything in sight and it's actually food I don't even 131 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: like that much, all weet just because I'm hungry. 132 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,799 Speaker 2: So that's the first little trick. 133 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: The next trick I would say is I want you 134 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: to be discerning with the choices. I want you to 135 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: take time, whether you're at the kid's birthday party, the 136 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: beautiful laid out platter table with cheese and dips, and 137 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: really think about what is good quality food there, because 138 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: let's be honestly, am when the food has sat out 139 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: for ten twenty an hour, two hours, it's not so flash. 140 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: So really make sure that if you're having it at 141 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: something that you really want taste. 142 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 2: It, enjoy it. 143 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: But it's that eating on AUTOQ that we really want 144 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: to put an end to. And then I think the 145 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: third step is ideally you've eaten well, you've made good decisions. 146 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: But if you haven't and you have over eaten and 147 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: you have thought to yourself, I'm off track. You don't 148 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: need to beat yourself up. You don't need to go 149 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: home and have a macas on the way home because 150 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: you feel bad that you run off your program and 151 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: you're still hungry. If you're hungry when you get home, 152 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: make something relatively nutritious, a couple of crackers with tuna 153 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: or cottage cheese, some cut up veggies, a vegetable omelet, 154 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: something that's actually filling and got protein, and then just 155 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: get back on track the next day, because that's what 156 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: I find people will go, they'll be off their plan, 157 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: they feel guilty, and then it just starts a cycle. 158 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: And you can imagine coming up when we've got two, three, 159 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: four events a week, you just never get your nutrition in. 160 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: So if your focus is actually getting your nutrition in 161 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: no matter what, and then eating a little bit of 162 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: the extras and isolating those very special social occasions, you 163 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: will remain in control of your food no matter where 164 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: you are. And this is a big skill that will 165 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: help you to control and regulate your intake for life. 166 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: And if you look at it as a bit of 167 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: an experiment on how to do that, it'll be interesting. 168 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: It'll be novel rather than feeling like you're a victim 169 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,679 Speaker 1: to your feet environment because you're actually taking the active 170 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: steps to take control of it and not expect it 171 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: to be any different than it is, which means it's 172 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: probably not going to be amazing quality food in sixty 173 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: seventy eighty percent of the events that we go to. 174 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're so right, and that type of food is 175 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 3: really difficult to stop eating once you start, like, I 176 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 3: know that if I'm going to have a couple of 177 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: chips in quawk, it really takes a lot of mindful 178 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 3: attention to not eat the entire bowl of chips and quack, 179 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 3: I'm so delicious. So you know that food is very 180 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: Moorish and if you're eating it mindlessly, which we tend 181 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: to do what parties, you know, Susie and I do 182 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 3: it as well. We're busy, we're catching up with people, 183 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 3: we're not really paying attention to what we're eating. It's 184 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 3: very very easy to overreach. So you really want to 185 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 3: help yourself out and plan ahead for these things. And 186 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 3: that's probably the first step before everything else is actually 187 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: planned for it, don't you know, rush through the week, 188 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: forget about the event, and then get to Thursday night 189 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 3: and be like, oh my goodness, I've got no food 190 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 3: in the house, I've got nothing to eat before I go. 191 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 3: I'm going to go. I'm stressed, I'm busy, I'm sleep deprived. 192 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 3: And then you get there, you eat everything in sight 193 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 3: and you're disappointed in yourself. So planning is absolute slutely key. 194 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: And know Susie said, if you do find that you've 195 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 3: kind of overindulged and you're a bit disappointed in yourself 196 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 3: when you get home, actually check them with yourself and 197 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: check in with your body and say to yourself, how 198 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: do I actually feel? Because I had this really powerful 199 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 3: conversation with one of my clients this week, Susie, and 200 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 3: she's made leaps and bounds in terms of her relationship 201 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 3: with food, her mindful eating and just registering how her 202 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 3: body feels. And that exact thing happened. She was sort 203 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 3: of doing a little more mindless eating because she was busy, 204 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 3: she was catching up a few people. She hadn't seen 205 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 3: it in a while. And she got home and she said, 206 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 3: I'm going to make dinner now, just something really light, 207 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: you know. I think she's going to do like a steak, 208 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 3: a bit of baked potatoes and some veggies. Absolutely nothing 209 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 3: wrong with that. And I just said to her, no 210 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 3: problems at all, you know, no stress, but I just 211 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 3: want you to ask yourself, how do I actually feel? 212 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 3: And it took about five or ten minutes, and she 213 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 3: came back to me and she said, you know what, 214 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 3: my brain wants food, but I don't think my body 215 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 3: needs food. And I said, that's really powerful recognition. What 216 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 3: can we do around that? So actually just check in 217 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 3: with your body and say, you know, does my body 218 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 3: actually need food or is it my brain thinking that 219 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 3: I I haven't really had anything and I should have 220 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 3: something to eat. And so I think at the end 221 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 3: of the day she had. I think she cut up 222 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: a carrot stick and had a yopro and that was 223 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 3: all she kind of needed because she recognized that she 224 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 3: hadn't had any real protein or vegetables at the dinner, 225 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 3: but she'd had a lot of carbs and a lot 226 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 3: of fat at the party of the sushi she was at. 227 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 3: So a yopro and a carrot stick, to me, that's 228 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 3: a snack. It's not even a dinner. And at the 229 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: time she thought, you know, my body feels like a 230 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 3: full meal, but I don't actually need that full meal. 231 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 3: My body's actually feeling pretty heavy, pretty sluggish right now. 232 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 3: I think I could just get away with a little 233 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: bit of protein and a little bit of crunch, Like 234 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 3: she just wanted something in her mouth to feel like 235 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 3: she she'd had had a little something when she went home. 236 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 3: So that's the first point. Well, the first point is planning. 237 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 3: The second point is to check in with your body 238 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 3: and actually see how you feel. And the last one, 239 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 3: Susie is if you're eating out at restaurants and cafes, 240 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 3: have a say in the place beforehand. Because a lot 241 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 3: of clients said to me, Heyleyanne, I'm going to go out, 242 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 3: you know, on Friday night with my friends. Can you 243 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: help me with the menu? I'm like, yep, have cool, 244 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 3: have a look beforehand. Send me it's through, and we'll 245 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 3: pick something together. And then it gets to like Thursday 246 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 3: or something and say, hey, how'd you go? 247 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: Did you pick that? 248 00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 3: They're like, oh, I'm busy. 249 00:10:59,080 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: I'm busy. 250 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 3: I will But it gets to Friday night and they're like, oh, 251 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 3: my friends said we're going here, and they send me 252 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 3: through the menu and I'm literally just like, what the 253 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 3: heck out? There is nothing good on that menu. There's 254 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 3: zero serves of extra veggies, we can get, none of 255 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: the proteins. Lean like, it's just a shamozzle from the 256 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 3: very beginning. So you have to if you're eating out, 257 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 3: try your best to have a say in the place beforehand, 258 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 3: try your best to look up the menu in advance 259 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 3: and order an extra side of veggies, even if it 260 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 3: costs more. Because this is another conversation this week Susie 261 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: as well. I had with a client where I said 262 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 3: we were celebrating her wins, and I said, what are 263 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: you really proud of that you've done this week? And 264 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 3: she said, you know what, I'm super proud that when 265 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 3: I went out, I had the choice that we'd chosen together, 266 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 3: which was perfect for my requirements and in line with 267 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 3: my goals, And even though it costs more, I still 268 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,599 Speaker 3: made that choice. So generally, you know, we like to 269 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 3: budget when we go out, but sometimes the healthy food 270 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 3: options are a little bit more expensive. So that was 271 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 3: her big win for the week. She's like, even though 272 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: it costs more, I chose the better option for my body, 273 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: for my goals and for my requirements, So that was 274 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 3: a big win for her. So don't be afraid to 275 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 3: spend that little bit extra money on the healthier option, 276 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 3: because it's better to invest in your health now than 277 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 3: it is in five or ten years time. When you've 278 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 3: got diabetes, you've got high cholesterol, on your own medication 279 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 3: for the rest of your life. So I know budgeting 280 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 3: is a big thing, but we really want to think 281 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 3: about it from a health perspective first. So they're probably 282 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 3: my tips. When you're eating out at restaurants, pick the 283 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 3: restaurant first if you can, don't let someone else deside, 284 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 3: look up the menu in advance, and order the extra 285 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 3: sided veggies or the leaner meal. Even if it's within budget, 286 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 3: even it can cost you a little bit more, it's 287 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 3: one hundred percent worth it in the long run from 288 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: a health perspective. 289 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: I was also going to say, I think during this 290 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: period of time, it's good in your mind to think 291 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: that one meal needs to be based around veggies for salad. 292 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: So for example, if you are going out for dinner, 293 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,599 Speaker 1: that's a great time to actually have vegetables at lunchtime 294 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: because it takes the pressure off trying to get that 295 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: type of food in the night meal. So if you 296 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: are at an Italian and you know it is going 297 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: to be pizza and then some salad, you know you 298 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: haven't had your cook veggies. 299 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 2: At least you've had them at lunchtime. 300 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: So I think sort of always making sure one of 301 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: those meals, or if you're going out for a big lunch, 302 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: have a big vegetable omelet or a veggie juice for bread, 303 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: So you tick the box and get some got some 304 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: of that bulk through your system, so you know, I 305 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: don't disagree, But we were at the local bowling club. 306 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 2: And it's one of those menu. 307 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: That is pretty dodge, like a lot of fried food, 308 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: pizza for the kids. But they do have on the 309 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: menu a kid's snackplate and on it it's got celery, 310 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: cucumber and homus. So I've been going and I order 311 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: a couple of those kids snackplates and I sort of 312 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: munched on it with a glass of wine before everyone comes, 313 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: and do you know. 314 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 2: The entire table eat it. 315 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: They all eat the carrots and the celery because it's there. 316 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: So that's the other thing, like you described just ordering it. 317 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: People will eat what's readily available if it's there. So 318 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: if you are catering or taking a plate when you 319 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: are socializing, take the platter with the locale beechriot, dip 320 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: the taziki and just cut all the veggies and you'll 321 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: eat them and have access to them. So again, you know, 322 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: I had someone say, well, I couldn't just take my 323 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: own food there and I said, well, you could have 324 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: taken a plate with some veggies, so really challenge what 325 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: you actually can do, and in many cases you can 326 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: to some extent self cater or take what you do 327 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: need just to tick the box on it. So hopefully 328 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: there's a few tips to thrive and survive and you'll 329 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: just feel better in your tummy land because all that 330 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: salty food and alcohol ultimately doesn't leave us feeling very 331 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: good either, and our clothes become a bit tighter and 332 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: we're not feeling great. So you actually feel better at 333 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: the end of the party season simply display eating more 334 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: fresh food as part of it one hundred percent. 335 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: And then switching gears a little bit, but still sort 336 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 3: of talking about health. Where you came across a great 337 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 3: little study, Susie, that was done in Boston and it's 338 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 3: published in the Journal of Nutrition, and it basically talks 339 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 3: about there are eight habits that you can add to 340 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: your middle ages to increase your lifespan by decades, not 341 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 3: one decade, decade with an s. So I thought, this 342 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 3: is a really interesting article, Susie. So I pulled it up, 343 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 3: and it does say that you should adopt these habits 344 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 3: in your middle age but you know, I honestly think 345 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: these are habits that any single person could really work towards. 346 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 3: Whether you're eighteen or whether you're sixty eight or eighty eight, 347 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 3: even it doesn't really matter. I think these are great 348 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 3: healthy habits to start with. So off the top eight, 349 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 3: or of all of the eight. The first one is 350 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 3: never smoke, and if you do smoke, the obvious choice 351 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 3: would be to try and if you can or get 352 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 3: a little bit of support around that. Second one is 353 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 3: being physically active regularly, not sporadically going to the gym 354 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 3: every couple of weeks. You know, go for seven days 355 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 3: and then come off for three weeks and then start 356 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 3: back again and quit again. It's regularly being active with 357 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 3: your physical activity regime. The third one is to refrain 358 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 3: from binge drinking. Now, I want to come back to 359 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 3: that one, Susi, because that's a really interesting one that honestly, 360 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 3: as Australians we have a big issue with. The fourth 361 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 3: one is practicing good sleep hygiene. The fifth one is 362 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 3: eating a healthy diet. And we would hope that as 363 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 3: regular listeners and vans of the Nutrition Couch, you guys 364 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 3: are all over that one, so we won't cover that 365 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 3: one too much. Number six is keeping your stress levels low, which, 366 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 3: let's be honest, Susie, you have two twin boys. I've 367 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 3: got two babies under two. It's a little bit difficult. 368 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 3: So we can kind of knock that one off the 369 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 3: list for any busy parents out there or anyone in 370 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 3: high pressure jobs, but do your best to work towards 371 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 3: keeping your stress low. The seventh one is engaging in 372 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 3: positive social relationships. I love that. And the final one 373 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 3: is avoiding addiction to opioids. And that's a really interesting one. 374 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 3: When I first read the list, I thought, that's a 375 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 3: really random thing to put on a healthy habit list, 376 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 3: But you know, obviously those painkillers are highly addictive. There's 377 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 3: quite a few good Netflix documentaries and docu dramas on 378 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 3: the oipiod epidemic in America, if anybody's kind of interested. 379 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 3: I just found it really interesting. I watched a i 380 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 3: think a documentary and then a docudrama kind of the 381 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 3: same thing of the opioid epidemic, and it was really 382 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 3: eye opening that just very normal people who might have 383 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 3: had like a workplace injury or something like that, can 384 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 3: just so easily get hooked. And the whole their whole 385 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 3: life just becomes completely unraveled. So yeah, it's interesting if 386 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 3: you want to have a look at Netflix as a 387 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 3: couple on there. But of these habits, Susie, I think 388 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 3: the couple that we should really be looking towards this 389 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: regular physical activity, refraining from binge drinking, practicing good sleep hygiene, 390 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 3: and engaging in positive social relationships. So I'm going to 391 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 3: hand over to you to talk a little bit about 392 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 3: binge drinking because just before we got on, we sort 393 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: of went you know, that's a really interesting one because 394 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 3: as Australians, we absolutely do binge drink and we almost 395 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 3: celebrated and we almost like encourage each other to do that, 396 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: if that makes sense. Like there has been many times 397 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 3: where I've gone out and you know, my friends have 398 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 3: said to me, oh, have a drink, and no, no, 399 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 3: I'm not drinking, No I have a drink. Have a drink, 400 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 3: Like you almost peer pressured into having a drink. You 401 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 3: can't go to a backyard barbecue these days and just 402 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 3: say oh, I'm not going to have anything, like you 403 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 3: just get the weirdest looks. In the Australian culture, I 404 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 3: feel like drinking is something that is so heavily embedded 405 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 3: that you're the odd one out if you're not having 406 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 3: an alcoholic drink. Do you feel that way as well? 407 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 2: Certainly? 408 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: I see that it's a lot of all or nothing, 409 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: so there's sort of long periods of nothing, and then 410 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: people are having big drinking events, like drinking a couple 411 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: of bottles at a time. 412 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: So we had a. 413 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: Discussion because the alcohol guidelines in Australia have changed, and 414 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: it used to be when I studied, it was always 415 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: having at least two alcohol free days a week, and 416 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: I think no more than was it four standard drinks 417 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: at any one occasion, which is still quite hard. 418 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 2: I think the females it was two, wasn't it. 419 00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 3: In males it was four. 420 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: I think the main thing that's changes that it used 421 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: to always be two alcohol free days, but that sort 422 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: of is gone. And the new guidelines are no more 423 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: than ten standard drinks a week and no more in 424 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: four in one sitting, and I just think that's really 425 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: quite high overall, and it doesn't recommend any alcohol free days, 426 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: but that is certainly not what I suggest with my clients. 427 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: I still suggest at least two alcohol free days, and 428 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: quite frequently I've been saying to some of my clients wine. 429 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 2: On a Monday, like really, like you're not having a 430 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 2: little break. 431 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: So I try and at least create that space, because 432 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, like all behavior, whether it's drinking wine or 433 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: eating chocolate each night, it tends to increase over time 434 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: and what started as a small glass becomes a large 435 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: one and then before you know you're having half a bottle. 436 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: And certainly many listeners can attest to that through COVID, 437 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: where it became a big part of the day to 438 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: have a drink because it was the highlight. So I think, 439 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: you know, my position on alcohol is it's a personal choice, 440 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: but it's important to know that in Australia we do 441 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: tend to drink wag too much is a poor is 442 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: not a standard on hundred mel it tens to be 443 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: double that, so often people having glass of wine it's 444 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: actually two. So I think the first thing is to 445 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: have a couple of days off. I think just slowing down. 446 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: In my experienced drinkers are fast drinkers. You know, they 447 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: polish off a glass within ten twenty minutes. I enjoy 448 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: a drink, don't get me wrong, as does LeAnn. You know, 449 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: we love to sit down with the champagne. But I 450 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: do notice the speed in which regular drinkers. So if 451 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: you are a drinker, you know, really make that glass 452 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: one hundred mil last forty minutes an hour and slow 453 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: it down, and even coming into party season, make the 454 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: most of some of those zero alcohol options because it 455 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: means you're still social having something you know to hold 456 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: on to. Whether it's the beer or the non alcoholic wines. 457 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: They don't taste the same, but most of them are 458 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: pretty low calorie, and I do think weaning right down 459 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: having a break without it, and you know, really trying 460 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: to limit those big sort of events and making sure 461 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 1: that that's not happening two, three or four times per 462 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: week because it's really not good for our liver, and 463 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: certainly we see that on markers. It's very pro inflammatory. 464 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: If you in peri, it will exacerbate symptoms. It really 465 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: has a profound impact on sleep and certainly motivation. You know, 466 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: the evidence will show that you sort of feel tired 467 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: and groggy and less likely to make strong decisions or 468 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: be active in night. You don't have to sleep, so 469 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: you don't wake up feeling refreshed. So if you're one 470 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: of the people who knows that you have a little 471 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: bit too much, starting to wean down, and then at 472 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: least same for two alcohol free days. 473 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 2: I think it's pretty good recommendation. 474 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, And speaking of sleep, I know a lot of 475 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 3: people use alcohol to sleep like it helps, you know, 476 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 3: decrease their stress levels and makes them a little bit sleepy. 477 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 3: So I've heard a lot of people say I actually 478 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 3: need alcohol to sleep, and certainly I've had a loved 479 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 3: one that was very much like that, and when I 480 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 3: was explaining to them, it actually impacts the quality of 481 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 3: your sleep. So although you might feel like and indeed 482 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 3: it might help you to get to sleep, you never 483 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 3: actually reach that really deep stage of iram sleep that 484 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 3: you really need to wake up and feel rested the 485 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 3: next day. So if you're if you're someone who drinks regularly, 486 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 3: just wake up the next day, or just track this 487 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 3: within a week or two and actually notice how you feel. 488 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 3: If you're waking up feeling groggy, if you're waking up 489 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 3: feeling like you've been hit by a bus, if you're 490 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 3: getting six, seven, eight hours in bed and you're still 491 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 3: waking up feeling exhausted, it's very likely the impact of 492 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 3: alcohol because you never actually reach that really deep stage 493 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 3: of sleep which is required to actually help you wake 494 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 3: up and feel well rested the next day. So certainly, 495 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 3: I do think that many Australians drink far too much, 496 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 3: and like you said, Susie, I think the guidelines I 497 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 3: think it's too much. I'm pretty strict with my clients 498 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 3: on alcohol, particularly when their goals is fat loss. I'm 499 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,239 Speaker 3: sort of like your max out at three or four 500 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 3: drinks a week. That's pretty much my recommendation for most clients. 501 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,719 Speaker 3: I don't care how active you are. I don't care 502 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 3: how much weight you have to lose. It's not good 503 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 3: like I'm no purist like you, and I absolutely enjoy 504 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 3: a glass of wine, but we're not someone who will have, 505 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 3: you know, a couple of bottles a week or anything 506 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 3: like that. We really enjoy it when we're celebrating or 507 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 3: when we're out socializing where it's a part of, you know, 508 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 3: the social aspect. We're not using it to sleep, we're 509 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 3: not using it to reduce stress. We're not using it 510 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 3: because it's a reward because it's Thursday or because it's Friday. 511 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 3: I think when that tends to happen, we do start 512 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 3: to run into troubles because, as you said, a small 513 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 3: glass becomes a bigger glass, half a bottle becomes a bottle, 514 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 3: one bottle becomes two bottles. It's one of those things 515 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 3: where it can quickly spiral get out of control before 516 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 3: you've even really realized it. So it's a really good 517 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 3: kind of reminder this social season to just keep a 518 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 3: check on your alcohol intake. And we did cover non 519 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 3: alcoholic beverages a couple of episodes ago, and there are 520 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 3: some really really fabulous ones on the market. There's a 521 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 3: couple of non alcoholic GNT options in the market for 522 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 3: very very lean calories, so really good options just to 523 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 3: you know, save a little bit in the budget as well, 524 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 3: because let's be honest, if you're going out for a 525 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 3: drink at a paba or a restaurant or a nice place, 526 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 3: easily upwards of you know, ten twenty thirty forty dollars 527 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 3: a glass of wine, depending on which one you choose. 528 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: And I think it comes for me down to quality 529 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: because when you said all three or four drinks a week, 530 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: I think, oh, I have that, probably not so often 531 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: unless I was actually going out and having a night 532 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: out with my girlfriends. But I think it comes down 533 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: to me for quality, because if I'm at a drinks 534 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: event and it's not good quality wine or it's not 535 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: good quality champagne, I won't have it. I don't waste 536 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: my calories and alcohol that doesn't taste great. So I 537 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: think that's the other thing to keep in your mind 538 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: party season wise, when you go to sort of drinks 539 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: events where you know the catering is a bit on 540 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: the dodge side, you know, swat for a sparkling water 541 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: because you want to save it. If you're going to 542 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: have a gorgeous glass of champagne or a nice spirit 543 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: that you make at home or margarita's with your friends, amazing, 544 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: But again, try not to waste it on poor quality wine. 545 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: And there's certainly plenty of that around com party season. 546 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's a good way of looking 547 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: at it, to quality over quantity. All right, Leanne, Well, 548 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: to wrap us up, I had a good question coming 549 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: through on our Instagram, which I love. We do read 550 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: through all of the questions that come through and often 551 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: grab one, so feel free to keep sending them. And 552 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: if we don't reply, it's not because we don't aren't grateful. 553 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: We just get quite a few, but I saw this 554 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: one today and I thought it might resonate. It was 555 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: if I'm trying to keep my carbs low at dinner 556 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: to support fat loss and wait control, how do I 557 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: create a satisfying meal? And I thought that is really 558 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: interesting because that's actually for me. Leanne got a lot 559 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,239 Speaker 1: to do with the psychology of what a meal is 560 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: because for me, obviously working in this field over many years, 561 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: for me, dinner is light of programmed to be like 562 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: protein and vegetables. I certainly don't look at my plate 563 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: and think, oh, there's no potato, it's not dinner. I 564 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: think that you know, dinner is salad, fish, veget you know, 565 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: that light kind of meal. Whereas I do know that 566 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: many of us are programmed to sort of see our 567 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: plate to have a piece of protein veggies and then 568 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: the potato. 569 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 2: Or pasta or rice in the corner. 570 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: So what I would say is that lower carb meals 571 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: for me, it's about making them taste nice. Because if 572 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: you create like a piece of boiled chicken, some pumpkin 573 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: and some green beans on the plate, let's be honest, 574 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,239 Speaker 1: it's pretty dull. But if you roast that pumpkin, an 575 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: extra version olive oil and drisle it with a little 576 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: bit of feta, or do the green beans, is there 577 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: some slivered almonds or garlic in the pan, or marinate 578 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: your chicken breasth Suddenly you transform that meal from boring 579 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: and plain to a delicious taste sensation. So I think 580 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: a lot of the issue with lower carb meals as 581 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: sometimes we don't make them taste great, and it can 582 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 1: be as simple as adding one flavor, some ingredient, even 583 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: to a salad like we described adding the roasted broad 584 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: beans to a mix salad, or the Danish fetter to 585 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: give it flavor, or crumbing your piece of chicken or 586 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: fish so you get a little bit of carb, but 587 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: it's not the heavier carb. So that's the first thing 588 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: I think. If your lower car meals are boring, we've 589 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: just got to spice them up a bit and make 590 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: them a bit tasty. But the other thing is really 591 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: questioning what your belief of a meal is, because that 592 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: will be programmed. You would have been taught that in 593 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: your culture or growing up what was a meal on 594 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: your plate, Whereas what we're doing is simply evolving that 595 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: to align with modern life and your nutritional needs. Which 596 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: changes we generally get older, and so whilst you may 597 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: have needed or are the calories of a pasta or 598 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: rice based meal when you're younger, if you're in your 599 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: forties fifties, you probably just don't need as many calories. 600 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: So it's shifting our perception of what a balanced meal 601 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: is as well as making a lighter meal taste good. 602 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: And to me, that's a two pronged answer that if 603 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: your low car meals are a bit boring and you 604 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 1: probably need to flavor them up a little bit more 605 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: and create something that you too look forward to having 606 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: rather than feeling like it's a restrictive, boring meal. 607 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 3: And for me, I think it's more about volume meeting 608 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 3: because I know or even just understanding and lighter meal 609 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 3: doesn't mean no card like it certainly can of that's 610 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 3: your goal, but it just for most of us means 611 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 3: a reduction in carp hydrates. Right, So instead of having 612 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 3: if you would normally have two cups of pasta with 613 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 3: your dinner, why don't you have them and have one 614 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 3: cup and have a little bit of sort of like 615 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 3: zucchini noodles spiral through that if it's a bolonaise or 616 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 3: something like that or if you're having, you know, normally 617 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 3: a cup of rice, have half a cup and bulk 618 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 3: it up with a cup of cauliflower rice. Like, to me, 619 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 3: when I think light meals, I still like a really 620 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 3: volume dense dinner. So I still like a full plate 621 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 3: at dinner time. If I was to sit down and have, 622 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 3: as you said, like a little bit of chicken, a 623 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 3: couple of green beans, and a small piece of pumpkin, 624 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 3: my mind would be like, what. 625 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 2: The heck is this? 626 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 3: Because I'm like, I'm still hungry to looking at it. 627 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 3: And so for me, it's all about that volume based eating. 628 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 3: So if you don't have and let's be honest, ninety 629 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 3: five percent of Australians do not eat the required amount 630 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 3: of vegetables each day. So if you don't have enough 631 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 3: vegetables on your plate, you're never going to have that 632 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 3: volume dense meal that can be supportive of fat loss, 633 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 3: even if you've got a little bit of carb on there. 634 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 3: If you don't, you're really going to work on how 635 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 3: to how do you increase the volume of the meals. 636 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 3: You can use things like zucqino noodles. You can use 637 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 3: things like cauliflower rice. You can use some of those slenderer, 638 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 3: you know, noodle options as well. There's a lot of 639 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 3: options that you can use to add volume to the 640 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 3: meal that are quite low calorie. But also, as I said, 641 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 3: don't forget that low carb doesn't mean no carb. So 642 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 3: I love using those little baked potatoes because the research 643 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: has actually shown us that potatoes are one of the 644 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 3: top foods that aid satiety in a meal. So it 645 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 3: really helps to keep us full and satisfied. So I'm 646 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 3: not talking that we have to eat a kilo of 647 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 3: roast potatoes, and I'm certainly not saying do you know 648 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 3: deep fried chips or anything like that, But you know, 649 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 3: a jacket potato, even just a small one, And there's 650 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 3: some brands out there like this spud Lights for about 651 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 3: twenty five percent reduced carbs compared to a normal potato. 652 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 3: I use them quite regularly for a lot of my 653 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 3: you know, insulin resistant or diabetic clients. They're quite good 654 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 3: even a small potato. Asussy said, if you duice a 655 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 3: little bit of extra version olive oil, some herbs and 656 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 3: bacon in the ovens, it's nice and crispy, alongside maybe 657 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 3: some pumpkin and some mushrooms and a bit of broccolini, 658 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 3: like again adding some volume to that plate. That can 659 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 3: be a really nourishing and satisfying meal by just having 660 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 3: a little bit of carbohydrate in the meal and also 661 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 3: just being aware of what carbohydrates are. Like one of 662 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 3: my favorite salad mixes, and we went through some bag 663 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 3: salad mixes on a couple of episodes ago, Susie, but 664 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 3: one of my favorite ones is the Asian salad mix 665 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 3: that calls them always do. And somebody messaged me the 666 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 3: other day because I had some salmon and just the 667 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 3: Asian salad and they said, oh, do you not have 668 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 3: carbs with that? And I said, oh, there's carbs in 669 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 3: that meal. The meal itself in the salad mix has 670 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 3: corn corners of carbohydrate. It has krispy noodles on top, 671 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,479 Speaker 3: and the dressing itself has a bit of sugar thrilled 672 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 3: as well. If you actually look on the back of 673 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 3: that packet, it says the salad serves four. David and 674 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 3: I split it so we get two servings out of it, 675 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 3: so I have a double portion. If you look on 676 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 3: the back of it, it's about thirty something grams of 677 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 3: carbohydrate for that double portion. So in that bag of 678 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 3: salad is the equivalent of about two slices of bread 679 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 3: thirty grams of carbohydrate, so it's actually got an adequate 680 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 3: amount of carbohydrate in there. So again, just reading your 681 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 3: labels of being aware of what you're having, because people think, oh, 682 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 3: she's just having a salad with salmon. I'm still hungry, 683 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,479 Speaker 3: but I know that in my brain knows that I've 684 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 3: actually got enough energy and carbohydrate in that meal. Do 685 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 3: I sometimes put a couple of air fry chips on 686 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 3: the side, Absolutely? Do Sometimes I have it without them. Absolutely, 687 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 3: It's really depending on what else I've had throughout the day. 688 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 3: But I really think that knowledge is power and understanding 689 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 3: what a carbohydrate is and how to kind of adapt 690 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 3: that to your meal and adapt that to your goal 691 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 3: can be a really smart way to achieve the results 692 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 3: that you want long term. 693 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: That's so true about those salad bags. And they're definitely 694 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: only two serfs, I agree, definitely not for all. Right, Well, 695 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: that brings us to the end of another nutrition Catch 696 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: episode for this Sunday.
