1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: When it comes to your food. Have you ever thought 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: that maybe you might be a little entitled? Do you 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: have a belief that you should be able to eat 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: whatever you like? And it's not fair that some people 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: seem to be able to eat whatever they like and 6 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: not gain weight. Yet you have one extra thing and 7 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: the scale goes up to kilos. On today's episode of 8 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: The Nutrition Couch, we discussed the very sensitive issue or 9 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: topic of food entitlement and share the very simple psychological 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: techniques to keep entitlement. At Babe Hi. 11 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,279 Speaker 2: I'm Sussie Burrow and I'm Lean Wood and. 12 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: Each week we bring you The Nutrition Couch, the bi 13 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: weekly podcast. It keeps you up to date on everything 14 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: you need to know in the world of nutrition as 15 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: well as all things entitlement. We have found a fantastic 16 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: lower calorie cheese that you are going to love, and 17 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: Lee and I are going to share our favorite healthier 18 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: caunapae since we're about to head straight into party season. 19 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: But to get us going today, Leanne, you know, we 20 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: know that one of the topics that our listeners love 21 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: most is all about anything to do with food and 22 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: psychology of eating. And indeed, we are getting ready to 23 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: host a life seminar specifically focused on the psychology of 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,199 Speaker 1: weight control, so things like belief structures around diets, diet programming, 25 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: over time, self sabotaging behavior, and something that came up 26 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: as a topic we wanted to talk about along with 27 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: excuses and are you being a little lazy, was entitlement. 28 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: And I thought it was something that was worth chatting 29 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: about because I often here or even detect my clients 30 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: will be annoyed as part of their weight loss process. 31 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: So they, you know, are perhaps annoyed that they're not 32 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: getting the results they might be looking for. Or I 33 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: may give them feedback on a food diary and they're 34 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: quite sort of resentful about it and might argue about 35 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: it a little bit, or they're sort of frustrated that 36 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: they feel that they've been to a social event and 37 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: they haven't eaten any of the high calorie food and 38 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: the scale hasn't dropped, and they think it's not fair. 39 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: And I thought it lent itself to a discussion because 40 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: I think this will certainly resonate with many listeners, and 41 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: it's a good opportunity to observe your own behavior and 42 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: if it sort of does raise some emotion in you. 43 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: Certainly it might be something to look at because I 44 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: would say that in a world in which food is 45 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: freely available and there is a big focus on regular consumption, 46 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: you know everywhere you go a service station, a supermarket, 47 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: a coffee shop, there is tempting food, and so naturally 48 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: we know that human beings will eat what food is 49 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: readily available. So certainly having to exert constantly what we 50 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: call self control to go against the natural urge to 51 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: eat that food is not only depleting psychologically, but you 52 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: can see how resentment can build up around that. But 53 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it. Often if you do 54 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: feel that resentment, or you might not even be aware 55 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: of it, but basically the process of having to cut 56 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: back is irritating to you. It may be a good 57 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: starting point to have a look at what your beliefs 58 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: are around food and nutrition, because when I tend to 59 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: delve deeper into that with my clients, there are some 60 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: pretty strong beliefs that I often challenge. So one of 61 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: the most common beliefs is that other people can eat 62 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: whatever they like and they don't gain weight. And I've 63 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: got two responses to that. The first is in my 64 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: experience in working in this area for twenty five years. Sure, 65 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: there are a random number of people who are naturally 66 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: model like ectomorphs in their figure, or they can often 67 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: have clinical anxiety and be burning a lot of calories, 68 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: and they can seemingly be able to eat junk food regularly. 69 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: But in my experience with those people, they're either genetically 70 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: blessed and or you don't know what they do, and 71 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: they might seem to indulge, but basically you're assuming they 72 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: do that all the time. And I would challenge that 73 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: because in my experience, most people, including myself, including Juliann, 74 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: we have to work hard just to control weight, let 75 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: alone be super thin if that was your goal. So 76 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: in my experience working with and observing people, people who 77 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: are pretty lean don't tend to eat a whole lot 78 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: of stuff. So I would absolutely challenge that belief that 79 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: people can eat whatever they like and it's not fair. 80 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: The other thing I would say is, well, life's not fair. 81 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Everyone has a different metabolic rate. Some people get diseases, 82 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: some people don't. Some people are tall and skinny, some 83 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: people aren't. If you spend your whole life comparing yourself, 84 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: it's going to be a pretty miserable life at some point, 85 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: which is the point I try and get you with clients, 86 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: there has to be a certain level of acceptance of 87 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: what you personally need to do with your body to 88 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: keep it in the shape you want it to be. 89 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: Because no one is telling you that you have to 90 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: lose weight, no one is telling you that you can't 91 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: have the cake. It has to be a conscious decision 92 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: that if you want your wiste or your weight or 93 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: your body to look a certain way, you're going to 94 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: have to make sacrifices about how you achieve that. And 95 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: if you're not prepared to exercise two three hours a day, 96 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: you're probably not going to be able to eat whatever 97 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: you want. And that is just life. So I think 98 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: it's worth bringing it out into the open because I 99 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: think as soon as you're annoyed with your meal plan, 100 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: as soon as you're frustrated when you go out and 101 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: you can't eat a burger and chips all the time, 102 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: I would have you challenge yourself a little bit to say, 103 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: number one, do you actually really even want that food? 104 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: Because often it's pretty crap anyway, and it's more the 105 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: psychological belief you can't have it, rather than you even 106 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: wanting it. And number two, where is that belief coming 107 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: that you should be able to eat whatever you want? 108 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: Because I would challenge it and argue that very few 109 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: people can do that, and if they do, you're not 110 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: seeing them all the time, or they're probably really really 111 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: active and hence or and all metabolically blessed. You know, 112 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: supermodels probably can basically eat whatever they want, but we're 113 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: not all supermodels, and that's just the way life is. 114 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: I would even argue that even supermodels work out regularly 115 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: and eat a hell of a lot of salad, So 116 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: I think you're right. It's that belief that there are 117 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: some people out there that can eat whatever they want 118 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: and do no exercise and they'll stay slim. And sure, 119 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: for a small percentage of people that's probably true, But 120 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: in my experience, Susie, all of the girls that I 121 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: knew at high school who basically just use it to get 122 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 2: a bag of chips that have a can of coke 123 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: for lunch, and I'd be sitting there with like my 124 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: healthy tuna rap that my mum made me bless her 125 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 2: and like they just ate so much crap, and literally 126 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 2: they were like so so so so slim seeing them, 127 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 2: you know, ten fifteen years after school, it catches up 128 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 2: with you, I guarantee you. So these people might be 129 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: able to do it until a point in time where 130 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 2: they can no longer do that. So we always encourage 131 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: healthy habits. But like you said, Susie, it's what you 132 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: don't see. Like you might see them occasionally, you know, 133 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: and it looks like they can eat whatever they want, 134 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: But ninety percent of the time when you're not there, 135 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the time when you're not there, 136 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 2: they might be regularly eating lean proteins and salads and 137 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 2: waking up at four am to go to the gym 138 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 2: every single day. You don't see the majority of the 139 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: behaviors that people are doing, so, like you said, it's 140 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: really that entitlement. But I think where we've seen the 141 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 2: biggest breakthrough with clients is that they get to that 142 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: point where they just have to accept that if they 143 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: want to lose weight and maintain it, that they were 144 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 2: going to need to work at these goals long term. 145 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 2: If you've got a goal, you need to work it 146 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: long term. Even after you achieve it, you still have 147 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: to continue to work at it. And just like life, 148 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: some people are better at things and other people need 149 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: to work a little bit harder, you know. I remember 150 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: at MASS, like I had a tutor for chemistry and 151 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: mass when I was going through university because I just 152 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: could not get my head around chemistry, Like it is 153 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: just not something that I am good at. And such 154 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 2: is life. Some people would just lay love exercise and 155 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: they're great at. Other people really really really struggle with it, 156 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: and they're going to have to continue to work at 157 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: it for the rest of their life. Some people naturally 158 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: just really enjoy vegetables, other people don't. And it's like 159 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: this daily struggle in order to eat well. So such 160 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: is life. And the sooner that you accept that healthy 161 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: eating and exercise is something that you will have to 162 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: do regularly in order to abe healthy and be lose 163 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: and maintain your weight long term, the sooner you begin 164 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: to accept that, the sooner that the mental load dec 165 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,119 Speaker 2: and you can just feel free, like you're not having 166 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: this internal battle going back and forth, going why is 167 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 2: it so unfair? Why is it easy for everyone else? 168 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: Why do I have to do this? Poor me? Boo who? 169 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 2: It's almost like that victim mentality where we're only hurt. 170 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: We're hurting nobody but ourselves. Basically, so the sooner that 171 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: you accept that eating while and exercising regularly is a 172 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 2: part of life. For I would say every single person 173 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: on the planet, whether or not they do it, I 174 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: would say that every single person on the planet should 175 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: do it. And whether or not you decide to do 176 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 2: it is entirely up to you and entirely dependent on 177 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: the goals that you have and the body that you 178 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: want to achieve. So we see it, Susie when the 179 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 2: client says, these are my goals to lose twenty kilos, 180 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: but those behaviors or the mindset isn't in line with 181 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 2: the goal. So if you're sitting there and you're struggling, 182 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 2: and you keep thinking, I keep pulling up the wag 183 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: and this isn't fair, and you feel a lot of 184 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: entitlement in terms if I want to be able to 185 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: eat whatever the heck I want, just ask yourself, like, 186 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 2: are those behaviors and are those thoughts and that mindset 187 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 2: in line with the goals and the body that you 188 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 2: actually want to have long term, Because I feel like 189 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 2: if you can get that vital that key mindset shift 190 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: to accepting that eating well and exercising regularly is something 191 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: that you will just have to do for the rest 192 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 2: of your life. The sooner you accept that, I promise you, 193 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 2: the easier this journey will be on you forever. True. 194 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: And I think a very simple question of self is 195 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: to say, do I actually even really want it, or 196 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: do I just think I should be allowed to have it, 197 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: particularly when presented with a number of high calorie foods 198 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: out of sort of a special occasion context. So, for example, 199 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: snacking on chips, kids chips or party food would be 200 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: a classic example. But something else I would urge listeners 201 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: to do in the next couple of months going into 202 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: a lot of social functions is to use it as 203 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: an opportunity to observe other people's eating behavior, because what 204 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: I find fascinating is when you're in situations where there's 205 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: platter type food or self service, you will learn a 206 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: lot by observing other people's behaviors. There will be some 207 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: people who cannot stop reaching for the snacks, and there's 208 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: some who barely touch it. So there's people's certainly who 209 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: prepare it, put it out, and don't touch it. So 210 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: if you're questioning that belief and think, oh, everyone can 211 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: eat whatever they want, it's only me use it as 212 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: an observation to see your friends groups of women and 213 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: how they eat, and I think that that observation in 214 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: itself might surprise you. All Right, now, we've got some 215 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: good news off the back of that, because I know 216 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: that might be a little confronting because let's be honestly, 217 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: and who doesn't love halluomi. Everyone loves Hallumi, But I 218 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: do not like Hallumi because when my clients eat Hallumi cheese, 219 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: they eat massive slabs of it, and it is really 220 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: high and fat. So cheese in general is thirty percent fat. Anyway, 221 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: it's a high fat food and sure it has some 222 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: nutrients in it, but it's got a lot more fat 223 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: than protein. So when I'm raiting a food, and we'll 224 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: actually do a whole segment on this, cheese is more 225 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: of a fat than a protein. And in the case 226 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: of Hallumi, it's hard to get a small serving size. 227 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 1: You know, slices and gratingsn't happen you have the whole block. 228 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: So we were very excited when we found and you 229 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: reduced fat halluomi because I hadn't seen one for quite 230 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: some time. And this will come in very handy for 231 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: barbecue season for me who love it. So it's the 232 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: Riverina Dairy Company, which is a fantastic small company which 233 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: we love to support. It's called grilling cheese Halluomi regice 234 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: fats in a yellow container, and I think it's available Woolies. 235 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: I've just had a look so in main street only. 236 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: Willies now nutritionally much much better. So per hundred grams 237 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: it is twenty five percent protein and fifteen percent fat, 238 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: so I from memory, normal Halumi is about twenty five 239 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: to thirty percent fat, which means a forty five gram 240 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: serve comes down to just six point seven seven grams 241 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: of fat. Now five grams of that is saturated, so 242 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: it is a food in moderation. A massive three hundred 243 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: milligrams are calcium, so it's really high calcium. It's also 244 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: really high in sodium, so four hundred and ninety five 245 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,599 Speaker 1: milligrams a quarter of your upward daily intake, which is 246 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: why perhaps if you have it you might feel a 247 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: bit bloated if you have a lot. So that packet 248 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: Leanne how big is that is? That two hundred grams 249 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 1: one eighty one eighty gram pack so slightly smaller but 250 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: also makes it easier for portion control because I would 251 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: be encouraging my clients to make it at least four 252 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: portions out of that, if not six. But the good 253 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: news is that you can have a six of that 254 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: portion cut up into small pieces in your beautiful lamb 255 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: salad and a lot less fat than regular hallumi. So 256 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: it's a massive thumbs up for me. I really like it. Yeah, 257 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: I love it. 258 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: And when you started the segment with I do not 259 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: like Halluomi, I was like, Susie, we cannot be friends. 260 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: But then be backed it up with four my clients, 261 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 2: so I let out my breath that I was holding. 262 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 2: But no, I do really like this because hallumi is 263 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 2: delicious and it's one of those foods where I think 264 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: you either love it or you hate it. And I'm 265 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 2: a big lover of halluomi. And it's funny because I 266 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 2: think it's a very aussy breakfast kind of thing. Because 267 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: I've given it to a couple in a few recipes 268 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 2: of my clients over Cca and America, for example, and 269 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: they're like, oh, what's Halluomi? And I'm like, Oh, it'll 270 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: change your life. Go and find it. And they get 271 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: it from like, you know, the Whole food shop or whatever, 272 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: and they try it and they're like, oh, I didn't 273 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 2: like it. It was so salty, So I think it's 274 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: quite unexpected because of the high salt content. I think 275 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 2: you either love it or you don't at all. So 276 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 2: for our Hallumi lovers out there, I think this is 277 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 2: a really great option, and we do like to support 278 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 2: austrain brands as well, So Big Thumb from us at 279 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: retails for six sixty at Woolworst. We do know things 280 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 2: like Halumi are a high price points, so it's more 281 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,599 Speaker 2: of an indulgent food and if you are getting it 282 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 2: out at a cafe like so you said, you do 283 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: tend to get quite big slabs of it, which, to 284 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 2: be honest, if I order a serve of hallumi at 285 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 2: a cafe, I'm paying six seven eight dollars as a side, 286 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 2: so I would expect to get a large amount. But 287 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 2: I would always look around the table and see if 288 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 2: anybody wants to share a side of hallumi or generally 289 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 2: split half of my hobby day but or with half 290 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: with my girl friend or something. So it's not something 291 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 2: I tend to overindulge in because you do get quite 292 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 2: a lot of it. So a hot tip if you 293 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 2: are ordering a side of halloomi with your breakfast, see 294 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: if you can share it with somebody else, because although 295 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: it is delicious, if the goal is fat loss, it 296 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 2: can be very difficult to maintain that goal whilst eating 297 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 2: delicious amounts of halluomi. 298 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: That's why I like goats cheese. It's thin, thin side 299 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: of goats cheese and you pay your massive five bucks 300 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: for it, so you want to enjoy it all right? Then, Well, 301 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: for our final segment of the day, which I've just 302 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: taken over the entire podcast poorly and did even get 303 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: a chance to speak, we wanted to share our top 304 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: healthier cannopse because it's coming into entertaining season and there's 305 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: nothing we hate more than deep fried products like spring 306 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: rolls and our and chibi balls, which offer very little 307 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: nutritionally except tons of calories and fat. So we thought 308 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: we might go through some of the ones that we 309 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: go to. I'll kick us off. Actually, I think a 310 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: great option to put out on platters is at a marmae. 311 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 1: You know, you can do the ed a mammae with 312 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: a sprinkle of salt, and they're high in protein, really 313 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: nutritious options, cost effective, so I certainly always put those 314 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: out and my other at the moment, I found a 315 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: series of vegetable based dips. I want to say they're yumis, 316 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: but their new formulation of roasted vegetable and I've always 317 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: loved the Chris's Egyptian beetroot are actually very low calorie 318 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: because one of the issues, of course with things like 319 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: commas is that it's actually quite high calorie and easy 320 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: to overeat. So certainly adding any kind of vegetable stix 321 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: with those lighter dips is a really good option. I'm 322 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: just thinking what else? Oh, I like pumper nickel bread 323 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: very low calorie from Audi with a thin spread of cream, 324 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: cheese or goats cheese with smoked salmon for an amega 325 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,359 Speaker 1: three hitten some protein and looks really pretty on platters. 326 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: So there are a few of my goat choose that 327 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: are sort of better options at this time of year. 328 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 2: What do I love? I love riceborols. I think they're 329 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 2: brilliant to be making your own little platters at home. 330 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 2: I love have you ever seen those like cucumber bytes? 331 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 2: Like you cut a slab of cucumber quite thick, you 332 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: kind of scoop out the middle and you can fill 333 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 2: it with a bit of say like smoked salmon and 334 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: light cream cheese, or a bit of you know, chicken 335 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 2: and avocado or something kind of stuff. The cucumber bytes, 336 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: they're great, and another good one is asparagus. You just 337 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: blanch them in some hot water and then you wrap 338 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 2: them with a little bit of like smoked salmon. You 339 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 2: can put a little bit of a nowI sheit on 340 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: the side of them as well, so it's sort of 341 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 2: like a veggie based sushi. They're quite good as well. 342 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: But I really do think the best thing you can 343 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 2: do is add a little bit of lean protein and 344 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: add a little bit of vegetables. So whether you make 345 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 2: some like mini vegetarian kebabs with maybe a little bit 346 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 2: about halloomi on there, I think the lean protein the 347 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: best options are grilled chicken, a little bit of say 348 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 2: tofu if you want some vegetarian stuff, prawn scallops if 349 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: you've got the budget for them, smoke salmon. Those kind 350 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 2: of are the best probably lean proteins to serve. And 351 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: as Zuzi said, you kind of want to avoid anything 352 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 2: that's like deep fried or really quite heavy, like you 353 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: get a lot of sliders, sausage rolls that sort of thing, 354 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: so make it. If you're doing platters up, make them 355 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 2: quite light and for a lot of color. Am for 356 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 2: a lot of vegetables for it's always good, particularly our 357 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 2: berriers as they're coming more into season. They're a lot 358 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 2: more affordable as well. And some really good dips with 359 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: lots of different colors, Like if you're gonna get some 360 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: capsic and get some yellow ones, get some green ones, 361 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: get some red ones. It makes platters so much more 362 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: appealing if you've got a lot of color on there, 363 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 2: and vegetables are one of the best ways that you 364 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: can add color to a platter. 365 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: And the other ones I was going to say is 366 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: if you get the peppercorn lean burgers and roll them 367 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: into individual meatballs, they're really lean and beautiful with taziki, 368 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: and you can do them in the air fry. They 369 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: come up really well. And I like the smoked fish, 370 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: like the smoke muscles and smoked oysters. If you like 371 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: that on a thin cracker. Some people they're polarizing, some 372 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: people will be going or gross, but if you like them, 373 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: they're really high protein, rich in zinc and iron, great 374 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: with a wafer thin So they're some of the ones 375 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: we go to but we'll continue to share ideas like 376 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: that in the coming months as we get closer to 377 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: the festive season.
