1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Are you just big boned or are you waiting until Monday 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: to start? Have you tried everything and nothing works? Today 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: on the Nutrition Couch we review the worst excuses our 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: clients are making. Hi. 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 2: I'm Leanne Wood. 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: And I'm Cizi Burrow, and as two of Australia's leading 7 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: dieticians who specialize in evidence based nutrition, we bring you 8 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: the Nutrition Couch, a weekly chat on everything that is 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: new in the world of food, diets and nutrition, as 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: well as weight loss excuses. We look at the media 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: article that goes to the top five foods that everybody 12 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: must include in their diet, and we also review the 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: trend of eating for your body type, whether you're an ectomorph, 14 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: mesomorph or endomorph body type. But to get us started today, Susie, 15 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: I have been dreaming about travel. So are you traveling 16 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: this year or are you planning on going anywhere? Are 17 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: you dreaming just like I am? 18 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. I think that I spend more time 19 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 3: thinking about where my next trip is than anything, including 20 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 3: a couple of trips to Brisbane to see you, of course, 21 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 3: But I really miss going to Hawaii. 22 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I did. Used to go to New York. 23 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 3: Fairly frequently also, But the place that I'm really craving 24 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 3: is Hawaii. I love the sun, I love the shopping, 25 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 3: I love the vibe. There's nothing I do not like 26 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: around in Hawaii. And I'm certainly planning perhaps later this year. 27 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: My sister turned forty this year, and we always said 28 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 3: we would do a special trip, and I think that 29 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 3: we might manage to swing Hawaii. Have you been to Hawaii? 30 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: I have? 31 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: We got engage in Hawaii? 32 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 4: Oh, say beautiful. 33 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: It was so fun. 34 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: It's a very special place for us, and we always 35 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: said when we had kids we'd go back one day. 36 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, oh gosh, I'd love to join you there 37 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: this year. Oh. 38 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: I will send that through the dates and we can 39 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 3: do it as a group trip. The more adults the better. 40 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 3: When you've got a little baby. 41 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: They're so good, so good. Oh, I'm just dreaming of trouble. 42 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: And I love that everything's opening up. 43 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: And on my Facebook, on my Facebook page, everyone you 44 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: know a lot of friends and you know, old school 45 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: colleagues are tagging a few people in Europe, a few 46 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: people are over in America. I've got one or two 47 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: people in the malder and that was our honeymoon destination, 48 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: which never happened because of COVID, so we ended up 49 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: in the Sundays. But I've always said I'd love to 50 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: hear the mal dives. That's the one place I just oh, 51 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: I wish I could go to. 52 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 3: My sister's just been there actually, and she said, well 53 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 3: worth her. So I think any of those are a 54 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 3: great idea. But you know, the Nutrition Couch probably does 55 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 3: need a Hawaiian trip. It's research, I think so too. 56 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely food sampling, you know, tax writer. Yeah, and I'm 57 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 3: thinking about our third member, David's probably pretty keen too, 58 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 3: So I say that's to it. 59 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: Absolutely all right, Susie. 60 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: Well, on the Nutrition Couch, we like to be across 61 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: the latest trends in the media. So today I saw 62 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: an article titled the five foods that you must include 63 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: your in your diet from a nutritionist. So I thought, Susie, 64 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: we've got to do her own diet head e spin 65 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: on this, you know. So Susie, as a dietician, what 66 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: are your five non negotiable foods that you must include 67 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: in What do you say to your clients you must 68 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: include in your diet? 69 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: And why it's interesting, isn't it? Because it's probably slightly 70 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 3: different to what I would say to my clients than 71 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 3: my own personal list, and it's just based on preference. 72 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 3: And I'll also say that you sent me your list 73 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 3: of five first, so I was like, oh, I have 74 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 3: to think of different ones because they were pretty similar, 75 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 3: which is not really a surprise given in our training. 76 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,399 Speaker 3: So the ones that's bring to mind for me instantly 77 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: are Atlantic salmon. I'll declare that I am an ambassador 78 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 3: for Tassol and have been for many years, but I 79 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 3: am a massive fan of salmon nutritionally. You know, you 80 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 3: really can't beat it when it comes to a Mega 81 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: three content and also vitamin D as we move into winter, 82 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 3: I would eat salmon at least twice a week, probably 83 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: three times. 84 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 4: I enjoy it. 85 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 3: We know it's great for skin health, we know it's 86 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 3: a great natural anti inflammatory, and it absolutely is regularly 87 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 3: on my list of client recommendations as well. Berries would 88 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: go pretty high top of the list, probably blueberries more 89 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 3: than any just for antioxidant content. And I will try 90 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: and eat a pun out of berries most days. They 91 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: taste good, They're relatively low calories and definitely a super food, 92 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 3: and we know when it comes to cognitive aging that 93 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: there's some pretty positive research, particularly around blueberries. I do 94 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 3: prefer freshly and then frozen. I find frozen quite sort 95 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: of someshye. I use them in baking, but I don't 96 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: ever really eat them. So strawberries too. Actually at the moment, 97 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: they're pretty good in season, but blueberries would be my 98 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: go to, And again I tend to refer to berries 99 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: as free for my clients, so they're certainly they're very prevalent. 100 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: In meal plans that I do, I usually would suggest 101 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: or like a leafy green veggie. My personal preference is rocket. 102 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 4: I really like that. I'll have a salad with that 103 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 4: most days. 104 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 3: But I think anything is pretty good, whether it's kale 105 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 3: or spinach leaves, whether using them in an omelet or 106 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 3: green smoothies or having them a salad. 107 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 4: The darker the leaves are better. 108 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 3: We've got again really good evidence to show that you 109 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 3: want at least one serve, if not more, of leafy 110 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: greens every day, and I make a very consistent effort 111 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 3: to do that myself. I've also got MTHFR mutations, so 112 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 3: I need a lot of natural fol eate to override 113 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: that pathway. So that's part of that rationale too, and 114 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: I certainly would encourage my clients to be having a 115 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 3: leafy green most days. My last two are a bit hard. 116 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: I sort of tossed between red capsicum and tomatoes. I 117 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 3: love both them. I eat to bucket loads of tomatoes 118 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 3: in my house. Red capsicums I love too, but they're 119 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: quite expensive. You know, in the day, I would eat 120 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: a red capsicum every day. I used to say red 121 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 3: capsicum keeps the doctor away, but now they are pretty pricey, 122 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: so I probably lean a bit more towards tomatoes. So 123 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 3: I just really like them, and nutritionally, if you cook them, 124 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 3: you know, you get the lycopene that comes through rich 125 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,239 Speaker 3: environment c beata carotene, so very nutrient rich food in general. 126 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 3: And my last one i've put extra virgin olive oil, 127 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: obviously really rich source of antioxidants. It's great to enjoy 128 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 3: veggies with that. It enhances the natural nutrient absorption. We're 129 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 3: big fans of cobram, of course, knowing it's a really 130 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 3: good quality astrain, extra virgin olive oil, and I whether 131 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 3: it's with salad or cook I cook only with extraversion 132 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 3: olive oil. I don't have anything else at home, so 133 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 3: I would use that and also encourage my clients to 134 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: cook with that. So, you know, we could add any 135 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 3: kind of veggie, couldn't we You know, we're not saying 136 00:05:59,240 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: any others are bad. 137 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 4: We could add a million. 138 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: Different ones, but I've kind of tried to kind of 139 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 3: keep that to a light lower range, just to give 140 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: a range of different foods. But all of those would 141 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 3: be things I'd eat pretty much daily, multiple times each week. 142 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 4: I don't know, just my lists do anything for you? 143 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, especially salmon. I'm like, you eat salmon two 144 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: three times a week. Absolutely one of my absolute favorite 145 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 1: foods in the whole world, particularly when it's like crispy 146 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: salted skin on it as well. You know, I think, yeah, 147 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: they love the skin or you hate the skin on salmon, 148 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: and I definitely enjoy it. 149 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 2: But when I was. 150 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: Compiling my list, Susie, I thought, Okay, A, what do 151 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: I love and B what do I recommend for my 152 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: clients in terms of if they're dieting or if they're 153 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: sort of in a calorie deficit to achieve the fat loss. 154 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: I was thinking sort of like filling foods that taste 155 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: good and also foods with positive nutrient benefits. So my 156 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: first one, very controversial, is the humble potato, So good 157 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: old spot. 158 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 2: So I like it. 159 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: Potatoes are feeling, they're good fib but if you eat 160 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: them in the jackets with the skin on, you know 161 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: it's you know, a lower sort of GI option. And 162 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: I think it cooked and cooled potatoes. In fact, I 163 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: know cooked and cool potatoes have more resistance starch in 164 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: them as well. So really really great options fround gut health. 165 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: So I love nothing more than roasting some potatoes, having them, 166 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, nice and hot with my dinner meal, and 167 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: then using them cooked and cooled in my lunch the 168 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: next day. So you love nothing more than the Humble potato, 169 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: particularly in its jackets. Bonus points if you leave the 170 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: skin on. My next one, Susie, is legumes. So legumes 171 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: they're cheapest chips. I mean, I don't have the time 172 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: of a new baby. I don't soak my legumes for 173 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: like ours overnight. I don't have the times that I 174 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: buy them. Can legumes are like one or two, you know, 175 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: a dollar something in the shops. They're really really affordable. 176 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: They're packful of fiber, packful of proteins. They've got some 177 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: great amount of carbs, in there, and they're so versatile, 178 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: Like you can use legumes as like as a meat substitute, 179 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: if you're making a spaghetti, bolonnaise, you can use them 180 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: to bulk out basically any vegetable meal. You can just 181 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: throw them into a salad as well. You don't have 182 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: to cook them if you get them in a can, 183 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: just give them a really good rint rints off the salt. 184 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: And they're a wonderful addition to any meal. And we 185 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: know that looking at the research as well, legumes are 186 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: really really positive thing to add into a health There's 187 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: so many health benefits from adding legumes. And then my 188 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: third one is avocado, so a little bit controversial botanically, 189 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: it's a fruit. It's also sort of you know, it 190 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: belongs in the fat family. It also kind of belongs 191 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: and you know, the vegetable family because a lot of 192 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: people will add it to salads. 193 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: And that sort of thing. 194 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: So it doesn't really matter, I guess what family it's 195 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: sort of sits in. But avocado, it is full of 196 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: wonderful healthy fats, just some really good amounts of fiber 197 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: in there as well. And I think you know, most 198 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: people out there are big bands of the humble, you know, 199 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: smashed avo and toast. I mean it was blamed for 200 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: an entire generation of what young people not being able 201 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: to afford houses because of our addiction to smashed over 202 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: on tosed in and you know, bought copies. 203 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: Wasn't it. 204 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: So I really do think the avocado it's a hard. 205 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 2: One to go past. 206 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: And then my fourth one was rolled oats, so again 207 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: it's something that's super affordable. I just I buy the 208 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: home brand bag of rolled oats a dollar twenty or 209 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: something for five hundred grams. Rodoats have their naturally carrying 210 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: bitter glucken in them, so they're really good. They helped 211 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: to actively lower our cholesterol, and there of course got 212 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: wonderful sources of fiber, particularly soluble fiber, so again really 213 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: good fraggut health. And if you struggle with being regular 214 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: in the bathroom, a sober fiber is definitely in air 215 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: you want to look at you more at so rolloats 216 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: are an excellent one for them, and you can throw 217 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: them into your baking, toss them into a smoothie, or 218 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: use them as you know your standard porridge slash overnight 219 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: oats or baked oats options as well and. 220 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: Then my final one. 221 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: You guys will know from listening to me for probably 222 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: quite a while, and Susie you will know as well. 223 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: Yogurt can't go past a good yogurt. It is one 224 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: of the most filling snack options, I personally believe, and 225 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: particularly Greek yogurt. It's higher in protein and it's got 226 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: the live cultures in there for I got health as well. 227 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: So they are my five favorite foods. 228 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: If you're you know, if you have to have five 229 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: foods in a diet, they're the ones that I recommend 230 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: for my clients. Potatoes, legums, avocado, rolloats, and Greek yogurt. 231 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: Now I didn't mention any veggies in there. Of course, 232 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying you need to eat your vegetables. We're very 233 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: clear on that in the Dusen Couch. But these are 234 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: my five ones that I think that sometimes people, if 235 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: they're aiming for fat loss, they think, oh, I can't 236 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: have potatoes too many you know, too many calories, too 237 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: many calves, they're kind of avocado too high in fat. 238 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: Or I can't have roll oats it's too high in carbs. 239 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: These are the ones that I really want to teach 240 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: my clients that they're filling, they're positive nutrition benefits and 241 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: you know they really they taste in they add a 242 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: lot of you know great I guess volume and bulk 243 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: to the meals as well. 244 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: I love that you have talked about potatoes, because poor 245 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 3: potatoes just get so forgotten and everyone thinks they're so 246 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 3: bad for us. But the way they're bad is that 247 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: most people have them as chips on deep fried and 248 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 3: not great oil. 249 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: No, the deep fry them and then they slather them 250 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: and like sour cream and put crispy bacon chips or 251 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: cover them and cheesy something. So it's not the potato 252 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: that's bad, it's what we put it with. 253 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 3: I think it's one of the most filling foods when 254 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 3: you rate foods for society, I think potato, a whole 255 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 3: potato with a jacket as you describe, is one of 256 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 3: the most satisfying foods. It's one of my favorite lunch 257 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 3: recommendations for clients to have it with a tin of 258 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 3: tuna or salmon and some or leftover lee mince with salad, 259 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 3: a little bit of l like sour cream, some cheese, 260 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 3: and if you have that for lunch, you will be 261 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: full all afternoon, and you can get smaller ones if 262 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 3: you're worried about the size, you can even get the 263 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: lower gi ones now. But they are absolutely so nutritious, 264 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 3: relative inexpensive, so many different varieties, and I think we 265 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 3: need to bring back the humble spud because we're so 266 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 3: quick to add in things like I don't know what 267 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 3: cuscuss and kinoi and hemp seed. 268 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 2: It's really expensive products. 269 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly had a potato with a jacket. It's a 270 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 3: really rich source of dietary fiber. It's got vitamin C. 271 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 3: So I love that Legume's big fan too. I like 272 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 3: the cannellini beans, particularly in soup. So I think definitely 273 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: if I was naming ten foods, I think nine. You know, 274 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 3: we've already said nine of them. Most of what you've 275 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 3: named would also be in my list, so you know, 276 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 3: I think they'd be in any dieticians trollely if I'm 277 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 3: one hundred percent honest with you, because they're just generally, 278 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 3: if we look natural whole foods that offer nutrient rich 279 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 3: taste good can be used really effectively in the diet 280 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 3: across a number of meals, and the natural superfoods and 281 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 3: all reasonably inexpensive too, So yeah, just get back to basics, 282 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 3: one hundred percent always in my trolley. 283 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 4: Me too, me too. 284 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: All right, Well, moving on, Leanne to something that I'm 285 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 3: really looking forward to talking about, because we recently posted 286 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 3: an Instagram story on our feed, and we are trying 287 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 3: to engage more on our social media, so you'll notice 288 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 3: that we pop up a bit more and try and 289 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 3: communicate and be social with you guys, because we love 290 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 3: to chat to you and see what's going on in 291 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 3: your lives.

Now 294 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 3: in our prep for this podcast, Leanne, some of the 295 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 3: things we said we actually can't record because I probably 296 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 3: wouldn't be perceived as very professional, because certainly you and 297 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: I are both very experienced with excuses, and I'm going 298 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 3: to try and be very gentle in how I describe 299 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 3: them coming through lest I would hate for any of 300 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: my clients to recognize themselves in my critique. So you 301 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 3: go first, and then I'm sure I'll hope you wants to. 302 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: Okay, I think the first one is I mean, it's 303 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: been raining all day in Britain today, and I think 304 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: the first one is it's too cold, it's too hot, 305 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: it's too wet, or some sort of it's raining something 306 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: to do with the weather. Right, I can't go get 307 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: groceries because it's raining. I can't exercise. It's too hot. 308 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: I can't exercise it's too cold, you know. I try 309 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: to do my meal prep but it's raining outside, and wait, 310 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: your kitchen's inside. What just some sort of excuse around 311 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: the weather is a big just I would have to say, 312 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: it's a big eye roll for me. The other one 313 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: that I get a lot is I'm just big boned 314 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: or some sort of like I've got you know, it's 315 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: in my family or my whole family is big. Yes, 316 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: genetics do play a part, but it's not everything. It's 317 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: like it's not you know, you can you can't change 318 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: your genetics, obviously, but you can change your. 319 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: Environment, you can change your habits. 320 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that you can change and 321 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: you can control as well. So the I'm big boned, 322 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: I find is just an excuse ninety nine point nine 323 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: percent at the time. I also don't love the one 324 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: that it's more like I'm a myself, I deserve a treat. 325 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: I've had a bad day at work. 326 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: I just went through the back has drive through, or 327 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: I've had a bad day, so I had a bottle 328 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: of wine. I'm like, wait, what a bottle of wine 329 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: because you had a bad day? Like, could we have 330 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: harper glass? Could we go and you know, call a 331 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: friend chat it through that, maybe just have one glass. 332 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: So I think it's that all overindulgence as a way 333 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: of self soothing that I feel like is a big 334 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: excuse for a lot of my clients. So they're probably 335 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: the big ones that I guess spring to mind, or 336 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: probably the other one, Susie, is the one that it's 337 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: I like food too much. Guess what, Sunshine, I love. 338 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: Food too, love food. 339 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: So I feel like I haven't met a person that 340 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: doesn't like food, Like have you, Susie? Like, I don't 341 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: think I've ever met someone that doesn't like food. So 342 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: when people use that as an excuse, healthy food doesn't 343 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: have to be bland, it doesn't have to be boring, 344 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to taste bad. If you think that 345 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: healthy food tastes bad, you're doing something wrong. Like you 346 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: need to you know, you need to check it out again, 347 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: because you're not on the right path here. So I 348 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: feel like when people say I like food too much, 349 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: for me, it's just a complete blanket excuse, because we 350 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: all like food and healthy food can taste one form. 351 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: We don't have to give up all of our favorite 352 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: foods in order to be healthy either. So I feel 353 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: like that's a little bit of a it's a funny one. 354 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: It gets a big eye roll for me. 355 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 3: True, So definitely I agree with you. The weather, so 356 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 3: as we all know, particularly in New South Wales the 357 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 3: past few months, it's been raining quite a lot and 358 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 3: we're not really used to that so much. But absolutely 359 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 3: I will have clients will say, oh, I haven't exercised 360 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 3: much because the weather's been bad. Now, indeed, there's probably 361 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 3: been three or four days where it rained NonStop, but 362 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 3: in general, you know, the rest of the time, there's 363 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 3: always been half an hour or so. So that's very 364 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 3: quick as the excuse to not do anything at all. 365 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 3: I find the one that's probably most irritating is the 366 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 3: one that is I haven't had I didn't have time, 367 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 3: or I wasn't organized because I don't know anyone Leanne 368 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 3: who comes and says, look I've got a spare half 369 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 3: an hour, Can you help me feel it? Like everything's easy, 370 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 3: everybody's busy, and you know own it that it wasn't 371 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 3: a priority, wasn't on your mind. It wasn't because that's 372 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 3: what it is. You know, if you want to eat well, 373 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 3: it has to be a quick priority. And it's that 374 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 3: planning phase. So some of it can be organizational skills, 375 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 3: and you can coach clients around that, but when it's 376 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 3: you know, I didn't have time or sorry I forgot 377 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 3: like it's just basically saying it's not a priority. Of 378 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 3: course I don't say that to the clients talking, but 379 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 3: you know, that's what it translates into, it's not a 380 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 3: big enough priority. I think something that I find especially 381 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 3: frustrating is when a client will be doing something because 382 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 3: of a husband or oh sorry we were away that weekend, 383 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 3: or we were on a girls trip, because again, you know, 384 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 3: it's it's kind of an excuse of I'm not doing 385 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 3: my stuff because I'm just going to follow what everyone 386 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: else is doing, so that I find that quite frustrating too. 387 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: But I think the most common one is is I 388 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 3: just didn't have time or you know, wasn't organized or actually, 389 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 3: the other one that comes up all the time is 390 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 3: that I was just off track. 391 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 4: Sorry I'm off track. 392 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 3: But then I'll look at a food diary and it 393 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 3: will be three or four days of just overeating and 394 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 3: making really poor choices. And yeah, so absolutely there has to, 395 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 3: I guess, be some buy in from a client. I 396 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 3: remember a very skilled coaching psychologist saying once when I 397 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 3: was being supervised that in a consult if you are 398 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 3: feeling tired, it's because the client's not doing enough work. So, 399 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 3: for example, if I get a shocking food diary, which 400 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 3: I did get this week, and very rarely do I 401 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 3: get such shocking food diries that I'm really like, you know, 402 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 3: to be honest, I'm pretty disappointed. Which was I think 403 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 3: the line that I used, because it was so far 404 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 3: from what we had talked about. And I question my 405 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 3: client more than talk because I'm trying to understand what's 406 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 3: going on and have some buy in and some ownership 407 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: over them. 408 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 4: So if I've had. 409 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,479 Speaker 3: A client who will say sorry, I haven't had time 410 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 3: or you know, sorry i'm off track, and this works 411 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 3: with even with parenting stuff quite well, I'll say, well, 412 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 3: you let me know when you've got time to commit 413 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,479 Speaker 3: and in many cases they'll step up and own it. 414 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,719 Speaker 3: But sometimes as a health professional, if we talk too 415 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: much and not reprimand but you know, give indication we're 416 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 3: not personally impressed or you know this is this is 417 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 3: an excuse or basically talking too much. It's always just 418 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 3: assigned to me to ask some questions around it as 419 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 3: the way to encourage a client to step up and 420 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 3: take more ownership, because we're basically in a coaching relationship 421 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 3: and I can only do my bit and they have 422 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 3: to be able to do theirs. And it's about capacity, 423 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 3: but also building skills in that space. And I think 424 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 3: that you know, you can, certainly after many years of 425 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 3: working with clients tell when there's a legitimate something going 426 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,959 Speaker 3: on versus just a bit of laziness and a bit 427 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 3: of slackness. So I feel like over a period of time, 428 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 3: you get very skilled at being able to call it 429 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 3: when it is laziness as opposed to someone who's genuinely 430 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 3: got a lot of stuff going on. Like for example, 431 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 3: I've I had a client recently and she's got a 432 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 3: three month old baby who the baby needs to have surgery. 433 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 3: So the last thing I'm going to do is give 434 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 3: her a really hard time about not doing a food diary. 435 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 3: Now she is giving herself quite a hard time about 436 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 3: not doing it. But I'm the one saying, look, just 437 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 3: take a load off. You know, you've just had a baby. 438 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,479 Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm also, as I said, quite good at 439 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: saying to the client's look, you know, really we can't 440 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 3: work together if this is going to keep going, or 441 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 3: I need to you need to get back on track. Now. 442 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 3: You need to look at the program that we've set 443 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 3: and you basically need to follow it. And you know, 444 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 3: in most cases, you know, clients get back on track 445 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: pretty quickly. So it's a clinical skill to be of 446 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 3: to know when you need to be too harsh because 447 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,719 Speaker 3: in our career, and there's certainly dietitians and nutritionists who 448 00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 3: will practice with that authoritarian way in show up, show 449 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 3: me your food diary. You've been, you've overeaten, you're being lazy. 450 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 3: There's practitioners who have built a whole practice around that model, 451 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 3: and some cultural groups actually like that. You know, I 452 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:16,479 Speaker 3: can say South African people are quite often familiar with 453 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 3: that very authoritarian dietary advice where they have to weigh 454 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 3: in and be measured and reprimanded for not eating the 455 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 3: right thing. 456 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 4: Now, that's not the model that I use. 457 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 3: I use a model of coaching which incorporates that fifty 458 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 3: to fifty work between myself and a client. And it's 459 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 3: my job to engineer a program that is suitable for 460 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 3: their dietary requirements and their body type and the goals 461 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 3: they have for themselves, and to coach them into that change. 462 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 3: And it's their job to try the different things, plan, 463 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 3: take control of the environment, and make positive choices where possible, 464 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 3: and learn and be coached to that process. So we 465 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 3: certainly don't want the message to be that where diety, 466 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 3: you know, for one of a better word, nazis there, 467 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,719 Speaker 3: you know, telling everyone what to do all the time. 468 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 3: But there has to be buying from both. And yeah, 469 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 3: sometimes we do hear some pretty dodgy excuses, and sometimes 470 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 3: we do have to call them. 471 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and as you said, like sometimes they are 472 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: legitimate excuses. I had a client and her kitchen burned out, 473 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: like her whole house nearly went up, and she lost 474 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: a whole kitchen, and that is a legitimate excuse. And 475 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: she was staying with family, and family were cooking and 476 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: providing all the meals and it is really hard to 477 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: say no when people are doing that loving, you know, 478 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: good thing for you. If they've made a really I 479 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: don't know, creamy pass of for dinner and that's all 480 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: that's one off for it's really hard to say no, 481 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: thank you. I'll just go out to the store and 482 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: get my own food. So sometimes, you know, we do 483 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 1: have legitimate excuses. And I had another client that got 484 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: COVID and she was kind of bed bound for a week. Look, 485 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: she couldn't really do much. She couldn't go do her 486 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: meal prep, she couldn't go to the grocery store. She 487 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: was an isolation, you know. She couldn't get out an exercise. 488 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: She was an isolation. So sometimes it's just easy or 489 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: we've just got to, I guess, make that distinction between 490 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: what is a legitimate excuse and what is something else 491 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: that we're just you know, clutching at straws because we 492 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: haven't made it a priority, as you said. And I 493 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: just another one sprung to mind, Susie. And people say 494 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: to me sometimes I'm just not motivated, and I sort 495 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: of just look at them and I say, well, what 496 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: do you want from me? Do you want me to 497 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: motivate you because guess what, that's not going to work. 498 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: I can motivate you for the time that we spend together, 499 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: but the second that I'm gone, guess what, You're going 500 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: to fall back into your old habits. It's not around motivation. 501 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: It's creating the discipline and the planning and the structure 502 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: that's going to take you to your goal's long term. 503 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: So for me, I always hate the motivation one let oh, 504 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm not motivated to go work out. I'm just gonna 505 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: lie on the cat to watch Netflix for seven and 506 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: a half hours on a Sunday. Like it really gets 507 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: me because I think you don't need the motivation to 508 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: get going. You should want to do it because you're 509 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: creating that lifestyle. You're doing something because it makes you 510 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 1: feel good. If you need to motivate yourself to do it, 511 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: you're probably doing it wrong, or the strategy or the 512 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: structure that you've chosen for yourself probably isn't the right 513 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: thing and that you naturally need long term. So motivation 514 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: is that one where I generally will get my clients 515 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: to take a step back and reflect and say, if 516 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: you're not finding the motivation to do this, we're probably 517 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: not doing something that you actually enjoy, so you're not 518 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: going to continue it long term, so the results aren't 519 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: gonna last long term. So motivation for me, it's a 520 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: big excuse, but it's a good one that we can 521 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: easily flip on its head and create a broader I 522 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 1: guess discussion around that. 523 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 3: Oh, one hundred percent, that's my least favorite message to get. 524 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 3: I'm feeling unmotivated or just disappointed with my progress, like 525 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 3: it's sort of a declaration and I I'm not quite 526 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 3: sure what I'm supposed to do with it. One hundred 527 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 3: percent that I get that a lot, and I think, yeah, 528 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 3: all my feedback is just do something. It has to 529 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: be action based. Action creates motivation, and that's the only option. 530 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 3: Just get out of your head and get into actually 531 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 3: doing something, because it's really easy to keep in our 532 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 3: head around things and not actually make progress. So I 533 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 3: would agree without one hundred percent. And you know, it 534 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 3: is a little bit of brainstorming solutions too, you know, 535 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 3: in terms of say time management or the example you 536 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,719 Speaker 3: gave of a mother in law cooking dinner. I find 537 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 3: with my female clients, which are all female, and particularly 538 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 3: my mum's who I say, age between thirty five and fifty. 539 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 3: They're not very good at taking time or energy for themselves, 540 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 3: and that's quite possibly because they're so pushed looking after 541 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 3: other people that all their energy goes out. So when 542 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 3: it comes to taking that time for them which is 543 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 3: required for meal prep or to do their exercise or 544 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 3: you know, to tell a mother in law that they 545 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: can't eat that food, that I want to cause offense. 546 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 3: It's all about actually women owning what they need and 547 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 3: being prepared to stand up and ask for that. So 548 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 3: actually I spend probably quite a lot of time reminding 549 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 3: and coaching women that it's okay to look after yourself 550 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,479 Speaker 3: first and if anything, it's required and necessary for you 551 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 3: to be your best self. But that can be a 552 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 3: big jump for women who have basically given everything to 553 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 3: everyone else for five, ten, fifteen, twenty years. So that is, 554 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 3: you know, reminding and creating space for them to self 555 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 3: care and pack their lunch first and take the leftovers 556 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 3: from dinner for themselves. Then you know, make their breakfast 557 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 3: or their meal before the other members of the family 558 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 3: and think about what they need for dinner before everybody else. 559 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 3: And that's a really big shift for women. But I 560 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 3: believe and you know, coaching that it's really important ultimately 561 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 3: to ensure that the women who are generally running the 562 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 3: house and the family as well as a million other things, 563 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 3: look after themselves and feel good in their body and 564 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 3: their weight. So yeah, actually, you know as we talk 565 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 3: that a lot of time is spent doing that and 566 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 3: creating that confidence in them to prioritize their own needs. 567 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. 568 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I spend exactly the same amount of time with 569 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: my my females, with families as well, because I always 570 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: say you can't pull from an empty cup, and they. 571 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 2: Will go go, go, go, go, go go. 572 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: Until they are just flat out exhausted and run themselves 573 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: into the ground. Then they're sick, they're exhausted, they're injured, 574 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: they can barely get out of bed, and it's like, 575 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: we don't care for ourselves until there's literally nothing left. 576 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: Will put everybody else ahead of us one hundred times over, 577 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: not realizing that to care for everybody else, we have 578 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: to take care of ourselves first. So if there are 579 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: any mammas out there listening, or you know cares as 580 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: well out there listening, we have to care for ourselves 581 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: first in order to better care for the ones that 582 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: we love as well, So I really like we can 583 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: end this segment, Susie on a positive note, because I 584 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: do feel like it's such a funny question, like what 585 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: are the excuses that make you eye roll? 586 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: I think was a question that came through Instagram, So 587 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: I love it. 588 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 4: But I like that we're. 589 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 2: Ending this segment on a positive note. 590 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 4: Yes, we like the positive we do. 591 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: And then for our final segment of the show, we 592 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: had a listener right in asking us about somatotypes or 593 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: body type, so specifically eating for your type of body. 594 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: So if anyone's not familiar with that, there's been a 595 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: little bit of I guess, like talk and online chatter 596 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: around three different types of body types or somatotypes. We've 597 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: got the ectomorph, which is a very lean type of 598 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: body type, very little fat, very little muscle, sort of 599 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: like a I don't know if I should say this online, 600 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: so like a bean pole, like very straight up and down, 601 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: very lean, very little muscle mass. 602 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 4: I can say, giraffe. 603 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 2: OK, those people have trouble gating weights. 604 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: They eat, they eat, and they will barely gain any weight. 605 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: But they also have trouble gaining muscle as well, So 606 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: that's an ecdomorph. Then we've got an endomorph, so they 607 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: have a high fat percentage around a body shape generally 608 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: sort of a little bit shorter, and they tend to 609 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: gain weight quite easily. You might hear people say I 610 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: just look at food and I put on weight. So 611 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 1: there are endomorphs and then our mesomorphs MBA muscle I've 612 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: always remembered it as SUSI, so there are more athletic 613 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: muscular build These types of people tend to, I guess, 614 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: gain and lose weight quite easily. So if they want 615 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: to gain weight, they can. If they want to lose weight, 616 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: they can. They put on muscle mass very easily. Or 617 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: they might even be that sort of muscular athletic look 618 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: without even really doing much training. I know a few 619 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: people who don't really train, but they have that sort 620 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: of big, strong, athletic kind of look around them. And 621 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: then I guess there's a combination of these types. We've 622 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: got the ecdomorph, the endomorph, and the mesomorph. We've also 623 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: got an ecdomesomorph, so this is a leaner type of 624 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: body that's also a little bit muscular. Then we've got 625 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: our meso endomorph, so this person is strong, but the 626 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: muscles aren't well defined, so they're not sort of like 627 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: quote unquote ripped or shredded. So this might be like 628 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: one of those big footballers you look at, you like, 629 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: they're super strong, but they've also got a little bit 630 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: of sort of extra fat mass around them because you know, 631 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: they're big, strong boys. They're getting in there and they're 632 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: doing the big you know, footy tackles and that sort 633 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: of thing. 634 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 2: Probably not the best explanation. And then we've got out 635 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 2: ecto endomorphs. 636 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: Gosh, that's a mouthful, and this describes a person that 637 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: is naturally thin but has actually gained weight over time 638 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: due to poor dietary choices and a lack of exercise. 639 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 2: So their body type is naturally thin. 640 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: They're an ecdomorph, but they've transformed into an endomorph by 641 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: gaining fat over time because their nutrition is not great 642 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: and their exercise is pretty poor. So that's sort of 643 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: the combination of the different cemount of types. And where 644 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: this came about, Susie was a little bit of research 645 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: into this in the nineteen forties. There was actually a 646 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: psychologist called William Sheldon who thought that he could actually 647 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: determine a person's entire personality by how they looked, which 648 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: I thought was, you know, a very interesting concept. So 649 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: he sort of thought that he knew what your personality 650 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: was basically by how you look. So I don't really 651 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: prescribe to that. There's not a whole lot of evidence 652 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: base around eating for your somatotype or eating for your 653 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: body type, but you and I are having a little 654 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: chat off air about this, SUSI, and clinically it does 655 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: make sense put it that way. So there's not a 656 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: whole lot of research or evidence based around this. But 657 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: if somebody had a body type that tended to put 658 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: on a lot more fat mass easily, we'd sort of 659 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: lower their calories, lower their carbohydrate. If somebody was a 660 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: really muscular build, they'd want a pretty even distribution of protein, fats, 661 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: and carbs. If somebody was more of that ectomorph body 662 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: type where they didn't gain weight easily and they were 663 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: quite slim, they'd want a higher amount of carbohydrates well, 664 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: be a higher amount of fat as well, and minimal 665 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: amounts of or smaller amounts of protein. So that's sort 666 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: of where that eating for your body type came from. 667 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: And if you look online, there's a lot of different 668 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: calculators that will tell you down to the gram of 669 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: carbohydrate that you need to eat if your body type 670 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: is a mesomorph or if it is an ecomorph. 671 00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 2: I don't really sort of. 672 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: Described that way of thinking, but I do sort of 673 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: look at my client us in if I know that 674 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: they're naturally more that athletic builders than naturally more that 675 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: leaner type of build, I will adjust the macro nutrients slightly. 676 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: Do you do this in new clinical practice as well? 677 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: Although I don't think we really call it somatotyping, do 678 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: we We really just do that because that's our clinical judgment. 679 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 3: I guess yeah, And going to somatotypes, we sort of. 680 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 3: I haven't covered it really since Union in particular sports 681 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 3: nutrition days, where we would do it through promontory a 682 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,479 Speaker 3: lot more. Certainly, I don't do it with the client 683 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 3: base that I'm working with, I guess because who is 684 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 3: presenting to me is probably quite a specific body type 685 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 3: who are more likely to gain weight. And I think 686 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 3: it's representative of underlying hormonal systems as well. So for example, 687 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 3: if I have someone who is internal resistance, they will 688 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 3: have twenty five to thirty percent more muscle mass than 689 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 3: someone who doesn't have internal resistance because they have got 690 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 3: a high level of the hormone that promotes fat and 691 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 3: muscle storage. So that's sort of a different way of 692 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 3: looking at it hormonely, but certainly with that group, of course, 693 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 3: I'll give a few less carbohydrate and more dietary protein 694 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,239 Speaker 3: because I know they're not efficient as burning carbohydrate. But 695 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 3: that to me then falls apart because if you've got 696 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 3: an athletic person who is participating in a lot of sport, 697 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 3: or you know, they might be a regular player or 698 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 3: a rugby union player, and they do have that underlying 699 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 3: physiology that's allowed them to create that physique that's conducive 700 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 3: to high level sport. But then they have a very 701 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 3: active muscle. Well, of course they need to be fit 702 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 3: carbohydrate depending on their activity levels. So yeah, I sort 703 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 3: of understand it because you do get those very tall, 704 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 3: kind of thin people who really struggle gaining weight, and indeed, 705 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,959 Speaker 3: you know that's very different from a more muscular person. 706 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 3: But do I use it regularly in practice, No, not 707 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 3: at all. And as I said, the only time I've 708 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 3: ever really referred to it in my clinical work as 709 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 3: a sports dietician, and looking I guess from a research 710 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 3: perspective on body typing and perhaps those who are better 711 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 3: at sport, but certainly not from a macronutrient proscript that's 712 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 3: evidence based. It's more just knowing some people are more 713 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 3: metabolically efficient and naturally leaner and better metabolisms than others. 714 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 3: So yeah, I understand why people are interested in it, 715 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 3: but I don't personally use it or find it overly 716 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 3: helpful other than what you can eyeball and see naturally 717 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 3: what a person's natural frame is. 718 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely I'm the same as you, and I was just 719 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: looking in a little bit more research and the most 720 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: common somatotype that actually did a little bit of they 721 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: did a review of close to eight hundred adults and 722 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: the most common samato type was a combination of endomorph 723 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: and mesomorphs, so that more muscular type of body in 724 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: that body that holds you know, a little bit more. 725 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 2: Fat mass as well. 726 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: So that's probably you know, indicative of the large Australian 727 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: based population where we do have you know, over sixty 728 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: percent of adults who you know identify as being overweight 729 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: to obese as well, So that's probably in line with 730 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: what the research is found so far. But yeah, I 731 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: don't really use it in my clinical practice, and I 732 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: really do think, you know, you could have somebody who 733 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: was sort of shortened stock here, but actually did really 734 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: do well with carbohydrates and that was actually quite fit 735 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: and quite so you might have somebody who appears like 736 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: they have a lot of muscle mass who actually doesn't 737 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: really do any exercise at all, So like you don't 738 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: really know in terms of prescribing them from a macronutrient perspective. 739 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: I don't think it's enough to just look at somebody's 740 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: body type, because I think preferences come into play as well. 741 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: Like you might say that you're somebody who's quite short 742 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: and you're quite stocky, you shouldn't have too many carbohydrates. 743 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: What if that person really did love carbohydrates, their body 744 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: utilized it quite well and they really thrived off that. 745 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't then take that away from my client and 746 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, I really do enjoy carbohydrates. Wouldn't say, well, sorry, 747 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: you have to go on a kid or diet because 748 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: of your body type. 749 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 2: So I really do. 750 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: Think that there has to be a little bit of 751 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: thinking behind some of these concepts that we see online. 752 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 2: I know it's heavily promoted in that. 753 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: I guess fitness and training world is more that eating 754 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: for your body type and that you know, tracking your 755 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: macros and that sort of thing. But I think that 756 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: personal preferences have to come into play here as well. 757 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 3: And surely it's cultural. You know, if you graft different 758 00:33:55,160 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 3: cultural groups, surely you'd argue that Indian populations and actually morph, 759 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 3: and the same with Asian populations. You know, they've got 760 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 3: lower muscle mass and a much naturally lean a frame 761 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 3: versus say a muscular group who might be Scandinavian, so 762 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 3: they're quite sort of muscular and tall and strong like. 763 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 3: Surely it's almost a way of subgrouping different cultural populations, 764 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 3: just eyeballing different body types and body frames. 765 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 2: You would think. 766 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: So I couldn't, honestly, I couldn't find a lot of 767 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: research on this, so listeners, it is an evidence based podcast, 768 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: so there is not a lot of evidence based to this, 769 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 1: so probably. 770 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 2: Wouldn't read too much into it. 771 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: Put it that way, all right, Well, Cudi, that ends 772 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,959 Speaker 1: our chat today on the Nutrition Couch for another week, 773 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: So listeners, if you haven't done so already, we would 774 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 1: really appreciate if you subscribe to the podcast and if 775 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: you left us a positive review in the Purple Apple 776 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: Podcast app, we'd really really appreciate that and give us 777 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: a follow.
