1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Do you ever think about how much saturated fat you 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: consume each day? Back in the eighties and nineties, reducing 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: your saturated fat intake was a big focal point of 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: different diets and different hallsy eating advice, but in recent 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: years this has been replaced by a greater focus on 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: the low carb and high protein movement. But it's still 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: important that we keep an eye on our saturated fat intake. 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: So on today's episode of The Nutrition Couch, we take 9 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: a closer look at saturated fat, why it's not great 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: for us, and the foods that we eat that still 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: contain plenty of it. 12 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: Hi, I'm leanne Ward and answers you borrow and together. 13 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: We bring you The Nutrition Couch, the weekly podcast that 14 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,319 Speaker 1: keeps you up to date on everything that you need 15 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: to know in the world of nutrition, as well as 16 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: saturated fat. For anyone with a family history of diabetes 17 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: or who may have had gestational diabetes in pregnancy, we 18 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: discuss what this means for your blood sugars moving forward. 19 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: We also have a new protein bread to talk about, 20 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: and our listener question is all about weight loss and 21 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,319 Speaker 1: the signs that you may need a lie. It all 22 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: more help, but to kick us up today, Suzy, we 23 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: are talking about saturated fat. It is one of the 24 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: most well, let's say, one of the most debated nutrients 25 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: in nutrition signs. 26 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: But is it really as bad as you know we. 27 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: Were once told or has it been a little bit 28 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: unfairly demonized. So it's had a lot of media attention 29 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: over the last i'd say a few decades. So today 30 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: we're going to unpack what saturated fat is, what the 31 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: research really shows is and I guess the implications of 32 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: that from our food choices, because it's a very debated nutrient, 33 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: isn't it. 34 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 3: It is because I think there's been so much focus 35 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: on low carb diets and even sugar going back five 36 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 3: or ten years, and then more recently high protein, we 37 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 3: don't talk about saturated fats specifically, and sort of it 38 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 3: went from being all things low fat in the nineties 39 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 3: to all about good fats. But what I notice is 40 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 3: that the idea of convenient diet theories for you slips 41 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: in and so we now just group any fat together. 42 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: Oh it's good fat, but we forget that good fat 43 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: really is just limited to a very small handful of 44 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 3: foods with literally no processed foods. So for example, if 45 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 3: you consumed each day a serving or two of extra 46 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 3: vergin olive oil, a handful of nuts, and some oily fish, 47 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 3: you would literally have all of the fat you required 48 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 3: for a day. So that means very little red meat, 49 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 3: that means very little cheese, that means low fat, reduced 50 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 3: fat dairy foods, and that means literally no treats. But 51 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 3: in our diet we get it wrong because in Australia 52 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 3: we know the highest sources of saturated fat are from 53 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: faty meats, dairy foods, and then discretionary foods. So this 54 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 3: is the biscuits, the cakes, the pastries, the treats, and 55 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: we all love a treatly am, But if you run 56 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: your fat ratios. So it's recommended from a public health 57 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 3: perspective for saturated fat to be less than ten percent 58 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: of total calorie intake, and overseas is less than seven percent. 59 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: So we're actually quite liberal. Now if we then extrapolate 60 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: that bad and have a look at well a small 61 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 3: female might need sixty maybe eighty grams of fat per 62 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 3: day if we're aiming for equal fat ratios of saturates. 63 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: Tomnos to Polly's that one to one to one fat ratio. 64 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: You're looking at maximum twenty to thirty grams of saturated fat, 65 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: which isn't very much like Keep in mind, if you 66 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 3: have dairy and cheese, you're probably getting three to five 67 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 3: grams saturated fat a serve of meat, and even sort 68 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 3: of lena mates, even something like salmon is going to 69 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 3: give you some saturated fat, and even olive oil will 70 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 3: give you some. So then you're up around ten. You know, 71 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: once you're going for chocolate and things like that once 72 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: a day, you're easily getting to twenty grams, if not more. 73 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: And that's what I think that we forget. It's still 74 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: important for the health of our cell that we keep 75 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: our overall in take controlled. And it made me think 76 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,279 Speaker 3: of this actually looking at the snap bar section of supermarkets, 77 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 3: and we spoke about this a few weeks ago, in 78 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: this increasing number of snap bars, protein bars, nut bars, 79 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 3: musubars that have got a chocolate coating. Because to make 80 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 3: that chocolate coating, you're either using a dairy so you're 81 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 3: using milk fatines or in more common examples, you're using 82 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: vegetable fat. They're highly saturated. So what happens is in 83 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 3: these lower car products or in a chocolate type music bar, 84 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 3: you can be getting five eight grams of saturated fatness 85 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: single bar, and that is where your levels might be 86 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: going upwards a forty to fifty per day. And if 87 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 3: you've got sort of higher blood cholesterol levels, if you're 88 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: trying to lose weight, if you've got diabetes, if you're 89 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: trying to optimize your cell help, that is just way 90 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: too high and saturated fat. So a quick recommendation I 91 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: give to clients is we like it to be less 92 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 3: than three percent total saturated fat. So if you look 93 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: at a nutrition panel, and actually we're in the process 94 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 3: of updating our product guide, so we're going to have 95 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 3: that out in a month or two with our sort 96 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 3: of top products revised. But this will make it easier 97 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 3: for listeners. But if you're looking at the nutrition label, 98 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 3: you want the saturated fat to be less than three 99 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: percent or less than three grams per hundred but perserve 100 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 3: of food, if something had more than say three maybe 101 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: five grams saturated fat, I'd be concerned because generally in 102 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 3: processed foods, that's way too high. And just keep in 103 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: mind you've gotten twenty maximum thirty a day to play 104 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: with and as soon as you're having cakes, biscuits, pastries 105 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 3: and anything with butter, full cream dairy. Some of the 106 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 3: yogurt cleann have got quite a lot if they're still 107 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 3: full cream or they're adding cream into it, so it 108 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 3: does still sneak in and I think people would be 109 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 3: actually surprised how much they're actually having. 110 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, all the coconut based yogurts as well are quite 111 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: high in saturated fat. Because you mentioned that saturated fat 112 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,119 Speaker 1: is predominantly found in our animal products, so our butter, 113 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: our cheese, our foddy cuts of meat, but it's also 114 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: in a lot of our tropical oil, so our coconut oil, 115 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: our palm oil. 116 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 2: And a big I. 117 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: Guess indication of is that if that food contains saturated fat, 118 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: saturated fat is solid at room temperature. So if you've 119 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 1: ever made a dish with say mince meat or something, 120 00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: and then you put it in the fridge over night, 121 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: Mum when we were growing up, used to always make 122 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: spaghetti boone's put it in the fridge and we'd heat 123 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: that up if she was working late or something in 124 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: the next day. And whenever I took the lid off 125 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: the mince container, it always had this like layer of 126 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: fat over the top of it, and I remember Mum 127 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: always saying to me, get a spoon and scoop it off. 128 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: I must have only been young, but I always remember this, 129 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: even growing up when I moved out of home and 130 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: cook for myself. If ever I made mince and you know, 131 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: the next day, I'd always scrape off the fat from 132 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: the top. And I never knew it at the time, 133 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: But that's the saturated fat because it's solid at room temperature, 134 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: so it's a really good I guess key point for 135 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: listeners to remember is that saturated fat is solid at 136 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: room temperature. So if you're getting any of these bars, 137 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: these low sugar, low carb, even these chocolate kind of 138 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: type musically bars, the chocolate's not melting off it because 139 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: there's a you know, significant amount of saturated fat in 140 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: the product to keep it solid at room temperature. And 141 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: it's very different to unsaturated fats, which we want more 142 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: of in our diet, our olive oil, our nuts, our seeds. 143 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 2: They're very different. 144 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: They're saturated and the unsaturated fats. And where it got 145 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: I guess saturated fat got quite a bat of rep 146 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: was in the early you know, the sixties and seventies, 147 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: and eighties. Even the early research really linked sat threaded 148 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: fat to high cholesterol and heart disease. 149 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: So there was a huge. 150 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: I think it was like a global really not just Australia, 151 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: a global public health campaign guidelines to really reduce saturated fat, saying, 152 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, people are getting more heart disease, they're getting 153 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: high cholesterol because we're consuming too much satreaded fat. But 154 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: over time what happened is people were replacing They weren't 155 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: replacing sach treaded fats with more fruits and veggies and legumes, 156 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: they were replacing it with refined carbohydrates. So over time, 157 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: what we sort of know now on what the current 158 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: research and the current meta analysis show us now is 159 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: that replacing sach treaded fat with refined carbs is not 160 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: a good thing for our health, and it's certainly not 161 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: a good thing for our waistline or our blood sugars. 162 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: But what we want to do is replace sat treaded 163 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: fat with polly unsaturated fats, so those found in olive oil, 164 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: fatty fish like salmon, sardines, nuts, and seeds. And we know, 165 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: certainly Susie and I are always saying to our clients 166 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: more of these polyunsaturated fats in our diet. Everybody wants 167 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: to eat a ton of the saturated fats, the trans 168 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: fats and the monos, but we're not getting in enough 169 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: of these poly unsaturated fats. So saturated fat can still 170 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: raise dietary cholesterol l LDL cholesterol, which is our quote 171 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: unquote bad cholesterol. But it is the full dietary pattern 172 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: that matters. As Susie said, if you have a very 173 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: whole food based diet, if you're you know, consuming a 174 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: handful of nuts, you're having olive oil on your meals, 175 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: you're having lean protein veggie, you sauce the whole grains 176 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: for dinner. 177 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: Your meals are very very balanced. 178 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: It's not really an issue if you have a little 179 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: bit of saturated fat in your diet. But if you 180 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: are having full green milk and all your coffees, you're 181 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: having bree and the cheese platters on the weekend, You're 182 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: having a couple of wines on the weekend, You're getting 183 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: your pastry when you go out and get your coffee 184 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: a couple of times a week, you're having the office biscuits, 185 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: and then you tucking into the chocolate after dinner. This 186 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: is where it's very very easy for the saturated fat 187 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: intake to become a little bit too much in our diet. 188 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 2: So it's not just the dairy. 189 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: And the dairy is a funny one because the current 190 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: research really shows us that it's more of. 191 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: A neutral fat. 192 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: So although it is still classified as a saturated fat, 193 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: I don't really have an issue of my clients want 194 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: to have full fat dairy. If they're hard on their 195 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: coffee must being made with four cream milk. 196 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with that. 197 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: But I am trying to reduce the process red meats 198 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: in their diet, the salami, the bacon, the chizzo. I'm 199 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 1: trying to replace the fatty cuts of meat like the 200 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: lamb chops, the you know, the fatty cuts of beef, 201 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: and really swap that for leaner protein sauces. Chicken skin's 202 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: another one that has a high amount of saturated fat. 203 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: So often I'll say to my lady's chicken breast is fine, 204 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: but I don't really want. 205 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 2: Them consuming the skin. 206 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: And often it's the coconut and the palm oils, which 207 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't realize are found in a 208 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: lot of the vegan based products as well. As Susie said, 209 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: the low car products a lot of granolas these days, 210 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: even some peanut butters and some nut butters are mixed 211 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: with a bit of coconut and palm oil as well, 212 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: and significant amounts in imported sort of those more ultra 213 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: process package snacks as well, So it absolutely sneaks in 214 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: everywhere in our diet. But as Susie said, the goal 215 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: from a national health guideline is less than ten percent 216 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: of your total energy intake coming from saturated fat each day, 217 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: and that's very, very easy to achieve. So it is 218 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: a good thing to pretty nice reminder just to take 219 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: a step back and look at your overall diet and 220 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: really see how much is creeping in unintentionally each week, 221 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: because from the majority of us, it is actually far 222 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: more than ten percent of your total diet. 223 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 3: True, And I just had a little look. So a 224 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 3: twenty five gram serve of Cabri dairy milk has got 225 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 3: almost five grams of saturated fat. So that's where if 226 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: you're having a roll or two of chocolate, you're probably 227 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 3: getting closer to ten. And as we know, once you start, 228 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 3: you can't stop. A chocolate type musically bar that's got 229 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 3: a coating will have at least say three grams per bar, 230 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 3: as I said, even up to eight, and when I 231 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 3: look per one hundred, they're coming in at about nine, 232 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 3: so they're well over that three percent level that would 233 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 3: be a healthy product. And that's where we run into 234 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 3: this idea of the healthy masquerade sort of healthy product's 235 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 3: been shown around as healthy a snaps that when you 236 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: take a closer look, they're much higher and the same 237 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 3: often with the low carb protein bars. You know, they're 238 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 3: sort of in the gym set again because you've got 239 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 3: to make them out of something, you know, and so 240 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 3: you need some fat to bind it. And I just 241 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 3: wanted to get because I do find bacon and processed 242 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 3: meat still slips in a lot, Like let's be honest, 243 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 3: on a Sunday morning, we like a B and E 244 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 3: and then you're getting the fat from It's often they're 245 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 3: using a spread on the bread plus a fatty sausage 246 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: at Bunnings. But I just want to have a quick 247 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: look at a bacon because I do find some of 248 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 3: those my clients are eating bacon a couple of times 249 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 3: a week. 250 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 2: I'll just mentioned quickly. 251 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: Pastries is a big one where a lot of saturated 252 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: and trans fat slips in. Like I had a client 253 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: and she just asked me a question and she was like, look, 254 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm at this place and this is all they've got 255 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: an offer is the spinach and fatter. 256 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: And she was just genuinely curious. 257 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: She's like, is this spinach and fetter pastry a better option? 258 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: And I said to her, look, actually rather you had 259 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: something with a bit of protein in it, because you know, 260 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: we know protein is good for metabolic heales. That helps 261 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: us the tidy. But it's those things where a lot 262 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: of these pastries do slip in. Whether they're the sweeter 263 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: type pastries that you might have, you know, a blueberry 264 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: danish or something, or your croissant when you're getting your coffee, 265 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: or it might be more of a savory type pastry. 266 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: It's a sausage roll, it's a spinach and fetter pastry. 267 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: They do tend to slip in quite a lot, particularly 268 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: if you are someone that goes to a lot of 269 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: like catered morning teas. You know, they often slip in 270 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: with the office the office catering as well, but also 271 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: on the weekend, if you're at the kid's soccer game, 272 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: if you're taking you know if you're off to the 273 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: footy on the weekend, those commercial baked goods and pastries 274 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: are where a lot of saturated and trans fat as 275 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: well does tend to slip in easily into our diets, 276 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: and that's where it can easily take us over that 277 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: total ten percent intake for the day. 278 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 3: True, I just had to look at a server bake 279 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 3: in fifty grams. It's got four grams of saturated fat. 280 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think it's good. Good to have a 281 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 3: rough reference. So you're looking about twenty maybe thirty a day, 282 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 3: probably closer to twenty, So just do a quick scan 283 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 3: and particularly if you do have a high risk of 284 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 3: blood cholesterol. Now, I had this conversation with a client 285 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 3: who eats really well. She's very slim and still has 286 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 3: high cholesterol. Sometimes genetically we will still have high cholesterol 287 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 3: no matter what we eat. But from a health perspective, 288 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 3: there's only benefits that come from keeping such tad of 289 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: that controlled in the diet, because it does work in 290 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 3: a synergistic way with all the types of facts when 291 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 3: it comes to reducing information. But generally speaking, from there's 292 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 3: only benefits that will come from keeping that level under 293 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: control and that's those key foods. But yeah, anything over 294 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 3: say three grams is served definitely in supermarket is one 295 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 3: to look for healthier, lower saturated fat alternatives. All right, 296 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 3: lenne Well, I had a couple of clients this week 297 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 3: and assessing their medical history, and that, of course, is 298 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 3: the benefit of seeing and working with a dietitian is 299 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 3: that you get that holistic health advice looking at your 300 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 3: total risk for a number of disease states. And I 301 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 3: was actually quite surprised because I had a very sort 302 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: of a girl who she does want to lose some weight, 303 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 3: but she wasn't a massive frame. But she came to 304 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 3: me because she was planning another pregnancy and she had 305 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 3: had gestational diabetes in her first pregnancy, And straight away 306 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 3: I was like, oh, you've made the right decision in 307 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 3: us proactively managing this, because any listeners may not be 308 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 3: aware that if you had gestational diabetes in pregnancy or 309 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 3: there is a fount the history of type two diabetes, 310 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 3: you have an extremely high risk of developing diabetes in 311 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 3: your future, no matter how healthy you are, because basically 312 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 3: it's a genetic issue and you are programmed to have 313 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 3: issues with BLOGI post control very early, so if you've 314 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: had that PCOS that specifically gestational diabetes, it is a 315 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 3: sign that you are at really high risk. And if 316 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 3: I had unlimited health, fundingly, and I would encourage any 317 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 3: female who've had gestational diabetes to be proactively managing blu 318 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 3: plost levels immediately after pregnancy, not waiting until they had 319 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: into resistance and eventually type two. So I think it's 320 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 3: one of the best preventative strategies we can use to 321 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 3: prevent diabetes long term. And it's not to be thought 322 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: of as sort of weakness in lifestyle choices or you've 323 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 3: eaten badly. It's nothing to do with that. It's purely 324 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: genetic and that's why some people who can be really 325 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 3: overweight don't have diabetes. It's not purely dependent. You have 326 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 3: to have the genetic predisposition, which is why whether it's 327 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 3: a family member, even someone with thyroid dysfunction, but certainly, 328 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 3: if you know your sister, you know how gestational, I 329 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: would be proactively preventing and taking active step to prevent 330 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 3: that type two straight after that pregnancy, whenever you sort 331 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: of recover from your baby and work with an endocrinologist 332 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 3: or a very good GP. So yeah, I just want 333 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 3: to have a little chat about blood gluepost levels through 334 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 3: the lifespan and what are the key things we can 335 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 3: do to manage them, particularly if you do have that 336 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 3: family history. So there's a few key pieces of research 337 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 3: which are beneficial when it comes to blood gluepos control. 338 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 3: And I think it's interesting because there's of course the 339 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 3: Blue Post Goddess who does a lot of work on 340 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 3: social media, and she's also heavily criticized by a number 341 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 3: of health professionals because she doesn't always necessarily explain that 342 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 3: blood glue post regulation issues are often or significantly a 343 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 3: genetic component. So the average person monitoring blood gluepost levels, 344 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 3: it's not something we all should be doing naturally. We 345 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 3: should be regulating gluepos quite well. It's just certainly something 346 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 3: for you if you're at higher risk because of those 347 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 3: genetic links, or have had gestation or some key things 348 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 3: that I would be doing early on. So the first 349 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 3: thing I'd be doing is on an annual basis, I 350 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 3: would be monitoring your HbA one C levels and if 351 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 3: you are struggling or no she's seeing your weight is increasing, 352 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 3: or if your waste measurement is over ninety centimeters, I 353 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 3: would certainly be pushing if it's not being proactively managed 354 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 3: for a gluepose tolerance test with insulin to see if 355 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 3: your insulin levels are high in the background, because about 356 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 3: ten years before full blown type two diabetes, insulin levels 357 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 3: will be raised and some cases you may need medication, 358 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 3: or even just being aware of it will mean that 359 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 3: you instantly can make some diet adjustments. See a dietitian 360 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 3: zen endocrinologist for the right advice. So you don't want 361 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 3: to wait until your gluepose is elevated. You want to 362 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 3: manage it when your insulin is high and for an 363 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 3: assessment of that. Truly, you should be getting a gluepost 364 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 3: tolerance test. Doctors don't like to do it. It's expended 365 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 3: if it's intense, but if you're at high risk, if 366 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 3: both parents have got type two diabetes, if you've got 367 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 3: a high waste measurement, if you had gestation, or I 368 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: would be pushing for that because as soon as it 369 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 3: starts to creep up is a sign I would be 370 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 3: proactively managing it. So that's the first The next thing 371 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 3: is creating space in between meals. So one of the 372 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 3: key things that disrupts glucose regulation is that we flood 373 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 3: the cell with glucose or food too often. So for example, 374 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 3: we have a coffee with milk when we get up, 375 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 3: and then an hour later we have our toes with eggs, 376 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 3: and then an hour or two later we have another 377 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 3: coffee with milk, and then we have a piece of fruit, 378 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 3: and we never have two, three, even four hours in 379 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 3: between any food stimulus. And that for someone who has 380 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 3: glucose regulation issues, will continually be spiking your glucose, driving 381 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 3: over eating, but also putting a lot of pressure on 382 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 3: insulin and glucose in the cell. So you want to 383 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 3: create that space in between eating occasions of at least three, 384 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 3: if not four hours to allow glucose levels to return 385 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 3: to normal. The third thing I would be suggesting is 386 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 3: that you try food sequencing as a default pattern of 387 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 3: eating because that helps the cell and insulin and food sequencing, 388 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 3: which we have covered on the podcast, So have a 389 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 3: search in the show itself to go back for a 390 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 3: whole episode covering that. But just basically means eating your 391 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 3: nutrients in a specific order. So as part of a 392 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 3: mixed meal, you would be encouraged to eat the vegetable 393 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 3: and fiber component first, followed by the protein and followed 394 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 3: by any carbohydrate. So if you had a dinner plate 395 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 3: with steak, veggies, and salad, we would say eat the 396 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 3: salad first and any veggies, then have the steak, and 397 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 3: then have potato because that helps the cell to manage 398 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 3: the gluepost levels better and there is evidence for that 399 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 3: it's a small level, but still not insignificant. And the 400 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 3: fourth thing I would be encouraging those people that group 401 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 3: specifically to do. Mind you, these are patterns that aren't 402 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 3: bad for any of us, but specifically for that high 403 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 3: risk group. Whenever you can move after a meal, that 404 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 3: is the best thing you can do because that instantly 405 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 3: made the body work harder in clearing blueposts. That in 406 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 3: turn means you need less insulin, and the less insulin 407 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 3: the better it is for our sell help. So rather 408 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 3: than having a big meal at night and then sitting 409 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 3: down and watching TV, the best thing you can do 410 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 3: is clean up after dinner, or take the dog out 411 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 3: for a walk around the block. Or if you're working 412 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 3: at home and you're able to eat your lunch at 413 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 3: your desk at eleven thirty twelve and then use your 414 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 3: lunch break to go for a walk You're always better 415 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 3: to eat and then move if you're juggling blueclose levels 416 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 3: because it will stop your levels going low and having 417 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 3: sugar craving. But it will also help to naturally regulate 418 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 3: your level's best. But you want to be onto it. 419 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 3: And if anyone's listening, who you've got a girlfriend, a 420 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 3: family member who did have gestational or are strong family history, 421 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 3: these are strategies I would be planning now, and I 422 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 3: would want to know what your HbA one C is 423 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 3: doing now because if it slowly starts to increase, that 424 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: is an active sign. You need to proactively manage it. 425 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 3: Because in this day and age, we're busy, we're not 426 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 3: great at preventative health. We tend to wait until and 427 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 3: many doctors still will wait until you've full blown intional 428 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 3: resistance or diabetes before managing it. If you're at high 429 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 3: risk actors, if you've got it, and you will ultimately 430 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 3: prevent it because trying to manage it, especially young, is 431 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 3: not great for your self health and longevity long term. 432 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 2: There's anything more I can we out there? You cover 433 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 2: that very nicely, season. 434 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 3: I think my concernedly, Anne, I can't tell you how 435 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 3: many girls I've seen in my career who have had 436 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 3: gestational and haven't been told at what high risks they 437 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 3: are of getting tyed to and they needed to. In 438 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 3: many cases, they can be on preventative medication then and 439 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 3: they will never get it. They won't gain weight, and 440 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 3: I'm sort of it makes me annoyed that they're not 441 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 3: told that once they've had their baby. So, as I said, 442 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 3: you don't need to. I think there's a lot of 443 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 3: guilt around it. I think people think they've done the 444 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 3: wrong thing. You know, it's you know, they've eaten badly, 445 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 3: they haven't been good. It's not about being good. These 446 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 3: are genetic predispositions, and lifestyle makes it difficult. Busy women 447 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 3: don't always have the privilege of an hour to exercise 448 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: a day. You know, we're doing the best we can, 449 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 3: particularly when you're in your thirties and forties and in 450 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 3: that var tex of kids and work and family. There's 451 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 3: nothing to feel guilty about. This is about proactive, similar 452 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 3: to the movement of managing Perry now and proactively moving 453 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 3: forward with positive aging. This is simply at something we 454 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 3: know you're at higher risk, so let's manage it and 455 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 3: take control of it early, so spread the word, because 456 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of guilt that comes from 457 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 3: women as well around their health one. 458 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: Hundred percent, and for so many women it is really 459 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: it just comes down to bad luck. It is genetics, 460 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: It is a bit of a hormone mix, It is 461 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: what it is. If you end up with citestational diabetes, 462 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: be proactive in managing that, like Susie said, But I 463 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: also think there is a responsibility from our healthcare providers 464 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: to let women know that a lot of them will 465 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: end up with diabetes eventually if it is not proactively 466 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: managed early. So don't wait for you to become eventually diagnosed. 467 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: Actually jump onto that and do it early. And it 468 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: is not a failure on anybody's behalf. If you end 469 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: up needing medication to help regulate your bloodgical levels, that 470 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: does not mean that you failed. It does not mean 471 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: that you did the wrong thing. It is simply that 472 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: sometimes bodies need a little bit of assistance to do 473 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: what they need to do. And sometimes that's a hormonal thing, 474 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: sometimes it's a genetic things. Sometimes it just is what 475 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: it is. So don't ever feel like it's a failure 476 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: to need a little bit of medication or need a 477 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: little bit of medical interventional dietetic help for assistance, because 478 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: this is what dietitians are trained for, Susie, and Susie 479 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: of course specializes in that. I've got a few dietitians 480 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: that work on my team that specialize in terms of 481 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: blood sugar regulation issues. So it's always, always, always going 482 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: to be beneficial for you to link in with some 483 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: professionals early on and know what you need to do 484 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: before it almost becomes too late, because once you've got 485 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, full blown diabetes, it is a lot harder 486 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: to do a lot of these lifestyle interventions and to 487 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: have them have as much of an impact as if 488 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: you're jumping on them and doing them early. 489 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 3: True, very true. 490 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 2: All right, Well, our. 491 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: Next segment is on high protein breads and following on 492 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: from our potty last week about talking about ultra process foods. 493 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: So a lot of these products in the supermarket are 494 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: sort of between processes and ultra process foods, and we've 495 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: got one today which I would say is probably the 496 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: definition of an ultra process Yes, an ultra processed food. 497 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: It's got some emulsifiers in their own stuff, but it 498 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: is the case where sometimes they can be a benefit 499 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: to some people's dyes, and other times people are better 500 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: with more, you know, whole food based products. So a 501 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: lot of these products that are by definition high protein, 502 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: low carb, they've been I guess manipulated, for lack of 503 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: a better word, buy food companies to create products that 504 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: the market demands or that the consumer demands, and these 505 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: higher protein breads and higher protein wraps certainly they fall 506 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: under that definition. The market or consumers have basically created 507 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: the demand for them because we know protein is important, 508 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: we know it's very trendy. But you know, we've got 509 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: to draw the line somewhere, Susie, Do we need protein 510 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: in our chips? Do we need protein in our chocolate? No, 511 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: We've got to draw the line somewhere. But bread and 512 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: wraps are things that people tend to eat very regularly. 513 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: So are they a daily addition to people's dyes? Are 514 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: they a weekly addition to people's dyes? Do people need them? 515 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 2: Should they just be. 516 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: Having good old, regular quote unquote normal bread. So let's 517 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: take a look. So today we've got the Coal's high 518 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: protein bread. Now this is available where Susie's in Sydney. 519 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: I can't see it available where I am in Brisbane. 520 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: Or at my local supermarkets. I actually haven't seen it before, 521 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: so it may be a little bit location dependent. It's 522 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: not I thought it was brand new, but Susie said 523 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: it's been around for a while. It's the Coal's High 524 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: Protein Loaf. Now for context, we've reviewed the coals eighty 525 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: five percent lower carb high protein loaf before. That's different. 526 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: That's in like an orange packaging. This one's in a 527 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: black that perform packaging and it's the high protein loaf. 528 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: So it's seven fifty gram So it's a little bit 529 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: confusing because the name of it is very similar to 530 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: the other one that we've reviewed, but the big difference 531 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,719 Speaker 1: is the other one we've reviewed is low carb. This 532 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: one actually is what you call similar to the texture 533 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: and composition of normal bread, but it's a higher protein bread. 534 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: So ingredient wise, we'll start with that. The first ingredient 535 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: is wholemeal wheat flour, so forty eight percent, so basically 536 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: half of that lof loaf is wholemeal wheat flour and 537 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: that flour is fortified with thybon and folic acid, which 538 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: a lot of our grains are within Australia as well. 539 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: Just to give people that extra boost of nutrients. Next 540 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: ingredient is water, wheat, gluten, soy protein isolate, which is 541 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: how they're getting additional protein in that product. They're using 542 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: soy protein isolate. There's also yeast, vinegar, iodized salt, canola oil, 543 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: some natural preservatives, some soy flour, some emulsifiers. There's one, two, three, 544 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: three different types of mulsifiers in there, and an enzyme 545 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: in there being wheat, so obviously not a gluten free product. 546 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: It also contains soy as well for anybody with allergens 547 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: now per serving, So two slices of bread ten point 548 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: nine grams of protein. So if you compare it to 549 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: a normal wholemeal loaf, yes, it has more protein in it. 550 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong, Souzy, But two slices of 551 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: a normal holemeal loaf would be two three grams of protein, 552 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: so it is significantly higher if you are comparing it 553 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: to a really great quality bread. Zusine and I both 554 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: really enjoy not spa at all. We just enjoy the brand, 555 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: the berg and soylin loaf. Couple of slices of that 556 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: is like eight to ten grams of protein, so that 557 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: is all coming from the seeds in it. So This 558 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: is certainly higher, but not as high as the previous 559 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: low carb loaf we've reviewed, which has I think from memory, 560 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: about twenty grams of protein and two slices, so per 561 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: serving two slices in this one is twenty five point 562 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: eight grams of carbohydrate, so more similar to a standard 563 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: loaf of wholemeal bread, given that it's got about a 564 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: serve of carbohydrate in there kilodyl wires seven hundred and 565 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: forty kilodules, roughly about one hundred and seventy calories for 566 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: two slices. 567 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 2: Overall fat total. 568 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: Is one point nine to nine grams, so just less 569 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: than two grams, with only about point five of that 570 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: being saturated fat, and that's coming from I think there 571 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: was a little bit of additional. 572 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 2: Oil in the canola oil, I think. And then what 573 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 2: have I got left? Fiber? 574 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: Dietary fiber five point four grams for two slices, which 575 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: is pretty good for a bread, and about three hundred 576 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: milligrams of sodium for two slices, which I would say 577 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: is fairly standard for bread. Most breads and cereals have 578 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: some atted sodium in there. So what do I think overall? 579 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: I think it's very comparable to a normal whole meal loaf. 580 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: It probably has a couple of extragrams of fiber and 581 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: certainly about double the protein in a normal whole meal loaf. 582 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: But could you have a slice or two of this 583 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: with a bit of peeb or a bit of jam 584 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: and butter. No, it's not enough protein for the average 585 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: male or female to need at breakfast time. Most of 586 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: us needs upwards of twenty grams of protein ideally, probably 587 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: closer to thirty grams, particularly if breakfast is out our 588 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: meal after exercise. Like myself, I'm a morning exerciser. Breakfast 589 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: is generally my first meal of the day. I'm aiming 590 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: for about thirty grams of protein, ideally to control blood 591 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: sugar regulation to help replenish my muscles. So for me, 592 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: it's a funny one like I probably wouldn't recommend it 593 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: for my clients because it's giving me a couple of 594 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: extra grams of protein. But I would still need some 595 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: Cottish cheese, some eggs, some smoked salmon, something with that. 596 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: A slice of this with a bit of pinut butter 597 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: and a protein shake on the side, I would still 598 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: need more protein to get this up over the line. 599 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: For what I want myself and my clients having. I 600 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: don't know, how do you feel about it? I'm sort 601 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: of like, yeah, it's fine, but you're probably paying a 602 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: premium price for it. It doesn't have the price on 603 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: my five bucks five dollars. Okay, So that's fairly standard 604 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: in terms of a loaf of bread. I guess maybe 605 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: not the the home brand varieties, but if you look 606 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: at you know, the country Life and the what is 607 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: it Baker's, you know, five dollars is fairly standard for 608 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: a loaf of bread these days. 609 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 3: I'm like you, it's middle it's middle ground. 610 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not amazing, but. 611 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 3: I would use it if I had a child, not child, 612 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 3: even a teenager who wouldn't eat grain bread? Who because 613 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 3: it's actually would I buy this product? 614 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 2: No? 615 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 3: Is it a bad product? No? You know, it's middle ground. 616 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 3: It's like, you know, the higher fiber whole meal bread, 617 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 3: like the wonder white hole meal. Again, like it's not 618 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 3: my top bread, but it's okay, it's better than white bread. Now, 619 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 3: just I've just had a quick look. Now, you know, 620 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 3: Leanne and I we're not sponsored by certain brands, and 621 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 3: we will always declare if we are. And I times 622 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 3: might do an endorsement for a certain product, but this 623 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 3: is just cold. I will always say burg and soliin 624 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 3: say is the best bread in the supermarket, and it 625 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 3: has been for twenty years. And the reason is I've 626 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 3: just had to look at it. Leanne two slices of 627 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 3: soilin bread's got twelve grams of protein and six grams 628 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 3: of fiber less sodium. And this is all naturalists. It's 629 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 3: got twenty two percent grain like it is so nutritionally superior. 630 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 3: It changed the industry when it came out. But it's 631 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 3: not for everyone. It's not great as a bread. It's 632 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 3: better toasted, Like my kids actually eat it as bread, 633 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 3: but not everyone would. So it's pros and cons. But 634 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 3: nutritionally it's got the added benefit of the good fats 635 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 3: because it's got the whole grain and seed, which is 636 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 3: what this coals bread does not have. You're not getting 637 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 3: a good fatty acid ratio because you're not getting those 638 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 3: those whole grains in there. So yeah, it's never going 639 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 3: to be as good as whole grain bread. It's it's okay. 640 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 3: It offers some protein, you know, as I said, it's 641 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 3: a middle ground. It's better than a white bread. It's 642 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 3: it's probably slightly better than some of the higher fiber types, 643 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 3: but only slightly. And it does have those attitudes, things 644 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 3: like the preservatives and the monsifiers that something like the 645 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 3: bourbon doesn't have. So I'm kind of torn as well, 646 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 3: you know. It's sort of that middle ground for me. Whereas, yeah, 647 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 3: the gold standard. The reason where it's always dieticians generally 648 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 3: will always go for the bourbon, soylmbits the standout bread 649 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 3: is that nutritionally it is far superior. Now I've noticed 650 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 3: that Helga's also have a similar mix to this bread, 651 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 3: So Helgers have got it's not low carb, but it's 652 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 3: lower carve, which is confusing in terms of marketing anyway. 653 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 3: I think so Helga's have got a lower car variety 654 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 3: with grains and seeds, so that is good, and I 655 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 3: think they've got one that is similar just to Wholy. Also, 656 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 3: it sort of sits in that range of being slightly 657 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 3: lower in carb but not low carve. So yeah, I 658 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 3: think if you like it. I wouldn't probably it wouldn't 659 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 3: be on my meal plans, but I wouldn't be dead 660 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 3: against it if someone liked it, And particularly with teenagers, 661 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 3: it can be a way for them to get some 662 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 3: extra a higher level of protein than say just a 663 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 3: whole meal bread. And it's sort of comparable in price. 664 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 3: And I think the text is probably quite good, whereas 665 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 3: it doesn't have that dense braininess. But yeah, I very 666 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 3: much am aligned with you. It's not my go to brands, 667 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 3: you know what I mean? So yeah, seven out of ten, 668 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 3: seven out of ten. 669 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say I'd recommend it for somebody 670 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: who had textual I guess concerns like I have a 671 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: couple of my ladies who are like, look, I don't 672 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: like the texture of the bergensoy Lin. It's a heavy 673 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: it's a dense bread, or you know, the lower carb 674 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: type breads. They're heavy breads, they're dent. They're not sandwich breads. 675 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: You would absolutely need to toast them. They're far too 676 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: dense to enjoy as this sandwich. So I would say 677 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: that that is a good option for somebody who's just 678 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: looking for, you know, they just want to have a 679 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: couple of eggs on toast, that's probably a good option 680 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: because two eggs is going to give you about fourteen 681 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: grams of protein. Two slices of that in additional ten grams. 682 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: You're now sitting at twenty four grams of protein, so 683 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: that is probably something if you have issues with the 684 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: texture of some. 685 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 2: Types of bread. 686 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: It's probably a good issue if your goal is fat 687 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: loss and you want to have a bit more protein 688 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: at breakfast. But I also have issues with that lower 689 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:10,959 Speaker 1: car bread. A lot of my ladies want to use 690 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: it after exercise, and I say, no, no, I want 691 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: you to eat carbs. I want you to eat carbs, 692 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: particularly around your exercise. So I don't tend to use 693 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: the lower car breads a lot, even though they are 694 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: probably a better mixed nutritionally because they've got a good 695 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: fat profile from a lot of the seeds, and they 696 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: are higher and fiber, they are higher in protein. But 697 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: for a lot of my ladies they do they don't. 698 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 2: Like the texture of it. 699 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: It is quite dense, and also there's no carb in there, 700 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: so it kind of defeats a purpose. Because we want 701 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: our ladies eating carbs, particularly for weight loss, we just 702 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: have to be mindful of how much of it. 703 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 2: So it's an interesting product. 704 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: I could see where it might be appropriate for some, 705 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: but I would say the average person is probably better 706 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: with a burg and soil in or I don't mind 707 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: tip top nine grain that's sort of what I get 708 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: for my kids, or I get the coals they do 709 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: like a I think it's a nine grain low GI 710 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: type bread. It's very dense, it's got lots of seeds 711 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: in it. That's not the one that my kids eat, 712 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: so I do like to see some visible seeds in 713 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: a bread. I think from a gut health perspective, it's 714 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,719 Speaker 1: one of the best things that you can do, and 715 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: then the whole meal sort of sit in the middle 716 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: ground for me. But I'm always a fan of more 717 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: than multi grain with the dense amount of seeds in 718 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: that that's always the better one you can do from 719 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: a health than a gut health perspective. 720 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 3: True, And I traditionally always gave my kids I do 721 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 3: like you. I like the Helper's lower carve seeded one, 722 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 3: but it's hard to find. But I used to always 723 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 3: give my kids the tiptop that it's tip top than 724 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 3: the sort of whole meal higher fibar, oh, wonder White, sorry, 725 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 3: Wonder White high fiber whole meal. But it's funny because 726 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 3: I never made a big deal about grains in my 727 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 3: house with the kids. But I'm not known for my 728 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 3: food provision, and I often don't have much and I've 729 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 3: often got say a burg and soilin in the fridge 730 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 3: because I like it as I find it never kind 731 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 3: of goes off. I can have it for a couple 732 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 3: of weeks in the fridge. And you know, with the 733 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 3: cost of food, I don't like wasting bread because the 734 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 3: sour dough multi grain at my local is fourteen dollars 735 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 3: a loaf like that is serious money for a thing. 736 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 3: So if I buy that, I try and make it last. 737 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 3: But if I've got the Bergensuay living there. And the 738 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 3: other day came home and my nanny was making sandwiches 739 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 3: for my boys using that, and they were eating it, 740 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,439 Speaker 3: and I just thought, there you go. If you don't 741 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 3: make a big deal out of kids food, they often 742 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 3: will just eat it, which lends it to say that 743 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 3: Our ebook for Kids Nutrition with suggestions for brands for 744 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 3: kids is now available at the nutritioncouch dot com or 745 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 3: Your Kids Their Food, and we cover all of these 746 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 3: issues around if your kids only eat white carbs, what 747 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 3: are the best types, and look at different breads for 748 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 3: kids as well, just as an offside, so right to 749 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 3: round stuff daily and we have our listener question, which 750 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 3: is a common one. We get a lot of questions 751 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 3: around weight loss. How do I know if I should 752 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 3: be looking at medication for weight loss? So I usually 753 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 3: would say it's sort of a continuum. Weight loss medication 754 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 3: is not for everyone. There's also a wide range of 755 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 3: weightless medication, going from something as simple as something like 756 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 3: met Foreman, which is an intalance sansitizing agent that we've 757 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 3: used for many years to help support weight loss, going 758 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 3: all the way through to the latest GLP ones things 759 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 3: like yourros and Peak. You would go VII Manjara, which 760 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 3: are evolving in the way their function as well. So Ocenpeak, 761 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 3: for example, is quite different to Monjuro. So as they're evolving, 762 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 3: they're getting a lot more specific. So as a starting point, 763 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 3: if I've got a client who needs to lose less 764 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 3: than ten or twenty kilos even I will generally try 765 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 3: and get weight off without medication, unless they have a 766 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 3: waste measurement over one hundred centimeters, have tried losing weight previously, 767 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 3: and have pre diabetes into resistance, or a strong family history. 768 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 3: If any of those present, and plus if they're in 769 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 3: their fifties or sixties, it will be pretty challenging for 770 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,439 Speaker 3: me to reduce calories and exercise them at their level 771 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 3: if they've got those genetic predisposing factors. But for anyone 772 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 3: under the age of you know, forty five forty, if 773 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 3: it's less than twenty kilos, I usually will try and 774 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,280 Speaker 3: get weight off without and then after four six eight weeks, 775 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 3: if I'm not losing a good three five kilos with 776 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 3: dytin exercise, I may start to look at some of 777 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 3: the blood tests to suggest those medications may be helpful. 778 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 3: You know, some people may go straight away and say, 779 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 3: and I've seen this GPS recently, where the GP will 780 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 3: suggest medication straight away. I think it's a personal choice. 781 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 3: I've got clients who are pre diabetic who don't want 782 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 3: to use weightless medication. They don't care, they want to 783 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 3: do it without, and I'll say, we'll give it a 784 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 3: red hot go. So it really depends on where you're sitting, 785 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 3: how hard you can exercise, what you've tried before. It's 786 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 3: not a one size fits all model. But what I 787 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,399 Speaker 3: will say is that no matter what your weight is, 788 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 3: if you try reducing calories, see a dietitian Cee lean Or, 789 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 3: I honest good meal plan with support, are moving and 790 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 3: you're not losing weight After six eight weeks, that's when 791 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 3: I'll start to check the bloods or if I've got 792 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 3: the blood test early on, and sort of the other 793 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 3: risk factors like family history, high Waiste measurement, long history 794 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 3: of dieting. I may allude to it earlier, but sometimes 795 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 3: we have the case and I know you've had this 796 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 3: recently and where you had a client who'd lost a 797 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 3: twenty kilos doing really well, but then there was a 798 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 3: plateau and a significant plata three six months and then 799 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 3: we may need extra help. So sometimes that also happens, 800 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 3: and that's a suggestion that metabolically we've got the excess 801 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 3: off and then we're going to need a bit of 802 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 3: help to sort of get the cell efficient enough to 803 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 3: keep burning. So the basic answer to my question is 804 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 3: it's not a one size fits all model. Very rarely 805 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 3: do I start someone on medication unless they are well 806 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 3: over one hundred kilos, they can't move a lot, there 807 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 3: are a strong family history of diabetes, maybe then I 808 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 3: will mention it early. But most of my clients, you know, 809 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 3: I really will try and move weight without them, And 810 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 3: I do have a subgroup of clients who are already 811 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 3: using medication but unsuccessfully because they haven't had the right 812 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 3: lifestyle advice, and the medication on its own will not 813 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 3: work without the diet exercise. So it's like the chicken 814 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 3: and the egg. They have to go together. And that's 815 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 3: why if you are listening and have tried a weight 816 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 3: loss medication and aren't getting sort of at least a 817 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 3: kilo every two weeks, I would say you either need 818 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 3: to see a dietitian or it's not the right medication 819 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 3: for you one hundred percent. 820 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: And do not underestimate the power of actually seeing a 821 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: dietitian who can guide you on these practices but also can, 822 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 1: as Susie said, help you maximize the medication the best 823 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: of your potential, but also help you so it doesn't 824 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: all come back on the minute that you you know, 825 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: the minute that it actually stops. So as dieticians, we 826 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 1: do work with clients with weight loss medication, but as 827 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: Zuzi said, it's not often our first point of call. 828 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: We like to give it a red hot go over 829 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: diet and exercise, but it's so important that the diet 830 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: plan you're on, if you want to call it a 831 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: diet plan if you want to call it a nutrition plan, 832 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,399 Speaker 1: if you want to call it a lifestyle plan, whatever 833 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: it's called, you actually enjoy it. Because if you're not 834 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: enjoying it, if it's literally just like chicken and green 835 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: vegetables every night, it's a juice in the morning, it's 836 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: a you know, a shake for lunch, it's not gonna last. 837 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 2: Because you were going to fall off a wagon. 838 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: It's not a question if if, but when you will 839 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: fall off the wagon because you're not enjoying the foods 840 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: that you like. That kind of restrictive plan isn't teaching 841 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,399 Speaker 1: you how to eat for real life. So make sure 842 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: that the nutrition plan you're following you actually enjoy. And 843 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: there's so many times, so Susan and I have both 844 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: had clients who have come to us and they're like, 845 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: I've tried everything, I can't lose weight. There's something it's 846 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: it's medical, it's it's metabolic, there's something wrong, and then 847 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: we start them off on a plan that's tailor to them. 848 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 1: It's not a one stop shop, downloadable plan that you 849 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 1: got in your eight week gym challenge. 850 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 2: The plan was actually tailored for. 851 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: Them their hormones, their age, their activity, levels, their likes, 852 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: their preferences, and low and behold, they're losing weight very, 853 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: very easily because they actually had a personalized plan. And 854 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: the amount of times I've seen clients who have said, oh, no, no, 855 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: I've done personalized plans before, but they're not really personalized. 856 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: Like the practitioner they were working with, the health coach, 857 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: the PT whatever, it wasn't a personalized plan. They might 858 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: have done their macros, but knowing your macros isn't a 859 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: personalized futrition plan that you can actually enjoy. So do 860 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: not underestimate the power of seeing a great dietician who 861 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 1: specializes in fat loss, such as Susie her team, myself, 862 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: my team, who specialize in fat loss, who specialize in hormones, 863 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: who specialize in some of these weight loss medications, to 864 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: actually give yourself the best shot. And it's actually a 865 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: great time to see a dietitian. Might I mention like 866 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: in winter is the perfect time. Everybody thinks, oh, I 867 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: can't see a dietitian until January until I need to, 868 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, get in my bathing suit. 869 00:39:59,160 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 2: Or whatever it is. 870 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,240 Speaker 1: Winter is a great option to see a dietitian because 871 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: you can just make so many wonderful dietary and lifestyle 872 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: intervention choices, so you're just feeling so much better. You know, 873 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: come spring when the weather starts warming up, everybody wants 874 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: to see a dietitian and springing in summer, but my 875 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: favorite time to work with clients is through winter to 876 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: really help them find those nourishing, kind of comfort type 877 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: meals but that are in the right portions for their 878 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: body to help them align with their goals as well. 879 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: So that's all I'll say is make sure that when 880 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: you are saying, oh, I've tried everything, I've tried the 881 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: personalized plan, make sure you truly have because what I 882 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: find a lot of the time is when people can't 883 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: lose weight, it's due to a lack of consistency. It's 884 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,240 Speaker 1: not that they can't lose weight, is that they can't 885 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: be consistent with the plan because they don't actually like 886 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: the plan. All the plan wasn't actually personalized to them, 887 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 1: therefore they can't actually get those results. So I'd say 888 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: nine times out of ten when somebody says they can't 889 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: lose the weight, it's not because of a medical or 890 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: a hormonal issue. It's generally ninety percent of the time 891 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: because they're not consistent enough with the plan, because they 892 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: don't actually like the plan or it's not person lies 893 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: to them. 894 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 3: True, very true, and. 895 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 2: That brings us to the end of another episode. 896 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 1: As Zusie said, our Kid's Ebook is now available at 897 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,959 Speaker 1: the nutritioncouch dot com.
