1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: What does a typical day of eating look like for you? 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 2: Do you have an early morning coffee and then morning 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 2: tea late morning, say ten thirty eleven. Do you find 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 2: that you are usually pretty hungry a couple of hours 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 2: after your breakfast. On today's episode of The Nutrition Couch, 6 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 2: we take a closer look at morning tea and ask 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 2: the question how many of us really need it? 8 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Susie Burrow and I'm Leanne Wood, and. 9 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 2: Together we bring you The Nutrition Couch, the weekly podcast 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: that keeps you up to date with everything you need 11 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 2: to know in the world of nutrition, as well as 12 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 2: taking control. 13 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: Of morning tea time. 14 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 2: We're going to take a look today at the three 15 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: pm slump, why it happens, and how you can make 16 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: sure that it doesn't turn into an eating frenzy. It 17 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 2: was going to have a really good look at process 18 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: meats in the diet, particularly going back to school, and 19 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: a lot of us using meats I can and turkey 20 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: in sandwiches, and perhaps why we are not the biggest 21 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: fans in our clinic notes. We're going to talk about 22 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: the importance of mixing things up when it comes to metabolism, 23 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: and we've had a lot lot of questions about the 24 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: new protein chips popping up in the health food aisle 25 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: and weather they are a good snack choice. So to 26 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: kick us off to daily Anne, I know the answer 27 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: to this, but I'll lead in, do you eat morning tea? 28 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: Yeah? 29 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 3: Daily? I do think that I'm six for one, I'm 30 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 3: exclusively breastfeeding, and I exercise. I get, you know, ten 31 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 3: thousand steps modnesdays, copp of gym sessions a week. I 32 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 3: generally would eat morning tea. Yeah. 33 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: Really, I've never seen you eat morning tea. 34 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 3: I think because I'm just a little bit of a grazer. 35 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 3: Sometimes when you're around you, you do graze. 36 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: Actually, like I say to you're hungry, and you don't 37 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: say to me, I've been eating more morning. 38 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 3: But I also think like because you and me make 39 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 3: recipes when you come up, and so I'm always like 40 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: snacking on the recipes. 41 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: Trying true, And I think the nature when you've got 42 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 2: small kids around and they do tend to snack, you know, 43 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: you don't necessarily have time to sit and have a 44 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: set meal. 45 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: I will say that I have. 46 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: A much sort of more structured schedule and I don't 47 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: eat morning tea. And this is something that I'm discussing 48 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: quite frequently with my clients at the moment, because I 49 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: have you know, a lot of clients will sort of 50 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: have a breakfast or a coffee, and then they'll find 51 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 2: themselves in that what I call gray period at about 52 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: eleven where they're actually quite hungry, and then I'll see, 53 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: you know, them grabbing their yogurt, their fruit, and then 54 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 2: lunch is pushed way back until two or three in 55 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: the afternoon. So I wanted to just talk a little 56 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: bit about the signs that you may need morning tea 57 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 2: and perhaps you might be having it because it's a 58 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: nice break at work, which indeed, we all like a 59 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: break at work, but whether you really need it. So 60 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: I would say, first of all, every single person is different. 61 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 2: There's no rule with this, and it will largely depend 62 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: on how many calories you're burning, what stage of life 63 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: you're at, what your morning looks like. So as a 64 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: starting point, if you're up at five six am, or 65 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: my client's morning who was up at four, you know 66 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: you are absolutely going to be hungry sort of by 67 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: at least seven, if not earlier, and then three hours later, 68 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: so by ten probably you will need to eat. But 69 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: I would say that's only one or two of my 70 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: clients out of ten. In more cases than not, what 71 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: I find my. 72 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: Clients are not having their first meal until eight or nine. 73 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: And if you don't eat your breakfast until eight or nine, 74 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 2: I would say most people don't then need morning tea 75 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: because really a well balanced meal should last you three 76 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 2: to four hours, which means if you're eating at eight, 77 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 2: you can easily should be able to go to twelve 78 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: and have your lunch. You're always better to have a 79 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: meal and a lunch meal earlier then you are to 80 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 2: have a late morning snack and push lunch back. 81 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: And that's because the bodies program. According to circadian rhythm, 82 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: we burn more calories the first half of the day. 83 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: And also psychologically, when you actually have a substantial meal, 84 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 2: you register it as such and then you tend to 85 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: be more full and satisfied from it, Whereas when you 86 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: have a snack, which is often grabbing little bits and pieces, 87 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: it just might be coffee, sort of half a meal, 88 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: or some nuts and seeds or a yogurt, Psychologically you 89 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: don't even feel like you've eaten, so it just tends 90 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: to not give you that satisfaction and fullness that we 91 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: ideally need from a balanced meal. Now, the difference is, 92 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: for example, you leanne you know you're tall, you're up 93 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: to and CrossFit at certain points in time. If you've 94 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: eaten at eight and then you're starving and get at 95 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: ten and sit down and have yoget with a bit 96 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 2: of granola and fruits, I'm happy with that because it's 97 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: genuine hunger. But my argument here today is that a 98 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: lot of times, particularly for those in an office job, 99 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: it's not genuine hunger. It's more an opportunity and a 100 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: time to eat, and we think, oh, that's good, I 101 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: can have a meal and it has I want you 102 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: to think of it in terms of is it disrupting 103 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 2: your lunch timing and your meal balance and basically shifting 104 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: your calories towards the second half of the day. 105 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 3: I think it's a fair point, and like you said, 106 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 3: there's no right or wrong, and I certainly have I'm 107 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 3: gonna say fifty to fifty to fifty percent of my 108 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: clients genuinely have a need morning tea and the other 109 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: fifty percent I're like, I'm fine, I'm not hungry, I'm 110 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 3: able to cruise through to lunch. But I really do 111 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 3: think it starts with the time that you wake up, 112 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: like you. I've got some clients who are up at 113 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 3: four four thirty myself, sometimes I don't choose to be, 114 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 3: but my children need me to be up at that hour, 115 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 3: so it is what it is. And other days, if 116 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 3: I'm lucky, I might get a quote unquote sleep until 117 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 3: six am if I'm lucky. 118 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: And so I think it. 119 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 3: Really depends on what time you up compared when you 120 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: first have your breakfast, and then if you know, if 121 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 3: you're having breakfast at six am, if you're trying to 122 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: then get through to lunch at twelve or one pm, 123 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: most people, myself and Susie included, are going to need 124 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 3: something as a bit of a mid morning top me 125 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 3: up because it is just such a long stretch between times. 126 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 3: But if you're someone who wakes up at say six 127 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: or seven, you might pot around the house, go for 128 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: a big walk, come back, and you're not having breakfast 129 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 3: till about eight or nine am, And then if you're 130 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 3: gonna have an early lunch around eleven thirty twelve, you 131 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: probably can get through to lunch without anything. So I 132 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 3: think it's really just asking yourself, like how active am 133 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 3: I am? I up really early compared to you know, 134 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: some other people, and if you are, you probably are 135 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 3: going to need a little something in the middle. But 136 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: it's about asking yourself if you're genuinely hungry. I don't 137 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: have a problem with my clients having, you know, a 138 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 3: coffee in the morning, a coffee at the morning, tea 139 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 3: break plus a snack as well. I know a lot 140 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: of people say, you know, coffee is a snack, so 141 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 3: it's only one or the other. But I think it 142 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 3: does again come down to genuine hunger and how you 143 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 3: have that coffee right along, black with a dash of 144 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 3: skim milk is very different to a large flat white 145 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 3: on full cream milk with a cup sugar's added. One 146 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 3: has a lot more calories and the other one's basically 147 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 3: next to nothing. So I think it depends on how 148 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 3: you drink your coffee, what size, and then also what 149 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 3: you're going to pair it with if you do choose 150 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 3: to have something. But like a lot of people, I 151 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: think sometimes that morning tea can be more out of 152 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 3: routine in habit or because everybody else is doing it. 153 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 3: Say you're in a workplace and you know somebody does 154 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: the coffee run every single morning. So you're drinking the 155 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: coffee without even really thinking about am I hungry? Do 156 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: I need it? Or you're having a biscuit with everybody, 157 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 3: or a croissant or a pastry or something like that 158 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 3: because they're in the office, everybody else is having them. 159 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 3: Somebody's bakes and brownie's and everyone's having their coffee and 160 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 3: brownie at morning tea. So rather than eating out of 161 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 3: habit or auto cue, we really encourage our listeners to 162 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: take a step back, identify is this true hunger? Is 163 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: it coffee enough? Do I need to pair that or 164 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 3: add something else on? Or am I able to actually 165 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 3: get through to sort of an earlier lunch, because you're 166 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 3: always going to get better nutrition from a properly balanced 167 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: meal than you would ever do from taking in a 168 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 3: couple of snacks. And you know, I did say like, 169 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 3: I don't tend to graze it such sometimes in Susie's here, 170 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 3: I'm a bit of a grazer because we are cooking, 171 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 3: were baking, we're testing recipes, and you know, I am 172 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 3: kind of picking and grazing at things. But I generally 173 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: will have a structured breakfast in the morning, a little 174 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: something before I got a gym. Then I'll hit the gym. 175 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 3: Then I'll come back and have a structured breakfast, and 176 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 3: then I'll probably have a bit of a morning tea 177 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 3: around generally around between ten to eleven, and then if 178 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 3: I have that, then I'll have a bit of a 179 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: later lunch around one or two, depending on my client 180 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 3: load for the day. If not, if I don't have 181 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 3: a morning tea and I get busy and I know 182 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: I've got clients to say twelve, one and two o'clock, 183 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 3: what I'll do is I have my lunch early at 184 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 3: about eleven o'clock, and then some days I might have 185 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: one or two aftern tee snacks to get me through 186 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 3: to dinner. So I think it really depends on what 187 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 3: you're doing throughout the day. But the one thing I 188 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: really encourage my clients to do is listen to their 189 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 3: hunger more than listen to their day, because I think 190 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 3: a lot of times we're eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner 191 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 3: at the same time every day. I'm having morning tea 192 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 3: the same time every day, We're having afternoon tea the 193 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 3: same time every day, and we don't do the same 194 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 3: things every day, so we shouldn't really be eating on 195 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: the clock. I'd much prefer my clients to be listening, 196 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 3: looking at their calendar and thinking, right, well, I've got 197 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 3: a big meeting scheduled between eleven and two pm. What 198 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 3: am I going to do about that? It's scheduled right 199 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: over lunchtime. Am I going to eat the catered lunch provided? 200 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 3: Am I going to have a little something before the meeting? 201 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,679 Speaker 3: Am I going to try and hold off till after 202 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: the meeting? Then if I'm starving, am I going to 203 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: be tempted by the cookies during the meeting. I like 204 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 3: my clients to actually plan out their day a little bit, 205 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 3: look at their calendar and think, right, I'm going to 206 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: try and wait until I'm genuinely hungry. But having said that, 207 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 3: if I've got a meeting that's going to be across 208 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: three hours over lunchtime, I'm going to need to think 209 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 3: strategically about what I do. So there's no right or 210 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 3: wrong with morning tea, But it really does come down 211 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 3: to do you need it? Are you actually hungry? How 212 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 3: much activity are you doing? And what time did you 213 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 3: wake up and what time did you have breakfast are 214 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 3: probably the biggest couple of things to consider when it 215 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 3: comes to that kind of mid morning snack. 216 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 2: And I think that those One of the biggest trickiest 217 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 2: things to navigate is when other people are eating. You know, 218 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 2: we know from research that the biggest predictor one of 219 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 2: the biggest predictors of food consumption patterns is when other 220 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 2: people are eating. An environment where the office stops for 221 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: morning tea and it's quite routine for everyone to go 222 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: and get a coffee or visit the cafe downstairs, it 223 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: can be really tricky to navigate. 224 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: So there's a couple of options. 225 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 2: Even if you're genuinely not hungry and no you don't 226 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: need morning tea and are going to have lunch within 227 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: an hour or two, but basically want to eat something. 228 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: You know, you can have a piccolo coffee. 229 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: You could have just a play tea, you know, because 230 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 2: it's often that ritual of grabbing something or having something 231 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 2: in your hand rather than needing it, or even just 232 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 2: snacking on a hundred of berries. You know, they're so 233 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: good for us, they're pretty low in calories, you're getting 234 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 2: a lot of fiber. 235 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: So it doesn't mean you can have nothing. 236 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: It's just means sometimes if you know you're actually not 237 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: hungry for food, just having something small to mix in 238 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 2: or have a little break from the computer. And there 239 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: are a few little options that won't hurt you still 240 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,599 Speaker 2: get some nutrition from them, and it means you're not 241 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 2: taking in a significant number of calories, but still taking 242 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: a break perhaps, and that can work pretty well too, 243 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 2: So low calorie options that you can sort of be 244 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 2: still in the group with. 245 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's an interesting discussion. 246 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 2: And as a general of thumb, I think if it's 247 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: getting to eleven eleven thirty, most of us are actually 248 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 2: better to have lunch and then just make sure and 249 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 2: described that you're actually in touch with your appetite and 250 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 2: writing off that rather than auto Q in terms of 251 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: its morning tea time. And I'm going to have fruit 252 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 2: and yoga because that's what I think is healthy. Well, 253 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: the next segment is really interesting one because it's a 254 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: bit of a controversial topic in nutrition in general. And 255 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: I a good friend of mine who works in food manufacturing, 256 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: had said to me that there'd been a huge increase 257 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 2: in sales of processed meat snacks, and I had noticed 258 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 2: myself that the sections in supermarkets with crackers and meat 259 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 2: snacks have increased. 260 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: Significantly, So I'm talking things. 261 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 2: Like rather than just cheese and crackers, they're actually processed meat, 262 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: So things like rounds of turkey or ham or salami 263 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 2: packaged and marketed as children's snacks. 264 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: For the lunch box. 265 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: You may have also noticed there's a number of dried 266 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 2: kind of meat snacks. There's jerky, but then there's also 267 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 2: like twiggy Are they called twiggy sticks that. 268 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 3: Like salami sticks and twiggy sticks? Yeah? 269 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: I think so. 270 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like they're also like in the chip and music 271 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 2: bar section that you can grab a stool lunches. And 272 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 2: I think it can be really confusing because we're taught 273 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: on one hand, and indeed on the podcast, sand and 274 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: I regularly talk about how important protein is. So you think, 275 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 2: as a parent, perhaps you're doing the right thing, but 276 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 2: actually we do need to be careful with process meat. 277 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: And it's back to school time. A lot of us 278 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: are packing lunches and perhaps using things like ham and turkey, 279 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: which you get are heavily marketed for the back to 280 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 2: school time, and I thought we actually, I think we've 281 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 2: ever really talked about it, so it's time Leanne to 282 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 2: have a talk about ham. 283 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 3: And I think that we have covered the evidence around 284 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 3: process red meats, and for anyone whom perhaps hasn't heard 285 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 3: that episode, there is very clear research from the World 286 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 3: Health Organization, from numerous nutrition and health organizations, in cancer 287 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 3: associations around the world that regularly eating processed meat basically 288 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 3: leads to colorectal cancer. There is very clear and very 289 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 3: strong evidence for that. Now, is that to say, if 290 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 3: you put some salami on your pizza a couple of 291 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 3: times a month, are you going to get colorrectal cancer? 292 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 3: It's not like it's one causes the other, but over time, 293 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 3: the more you eat and the more regularly you eat 294 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 3: these process red meats. And what kind of is considered 295 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 3: under that banner is things like salami and ham and 296 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 3: bacon and you know, Frankfurt's and cabanas and anything you 297 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 3: might put on kind of like a cheese platter or 298 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 3: a pizza for example. So I myself, I'll be completely honest. 299 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 3: I do use a little bit of salami or ham 300 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 3: on a pizza, But how often do I have a pizza? 301 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 3: Once or twice a month max? And that is the 302 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 3: only time that I will use something like that because 303 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 3: I do generally enjoy it. I do like having that 304 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 3: but also I don't use a lot of it on 305 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: pizzas either. I just use a small amount really for 306 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 3: the flavor, and that's about it. So it's about the 307 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 3: frequency and how often that you're having it, not just 308 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 3: that you're going to have it as a one off 309 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 3: and it's going to cause this, you know, horrible cancer. 310 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: So we need to be clear that there's very strong 311 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 3: evidence for this, but it is around the frequency and 312 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 3: the amount. Now, there was also an association found, so 313 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 3: we know that process red meats increase your chances or 314 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 3: likelihood of getting colorect or cancer. And there was also 315 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 3: an association with that research that looked at an association 316 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: with stomach cancer as well, but the evidence was still 317 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 3: not conclusive. So it does tend to increase your risk 318 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 3: of some you know, I would even got to say 319 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 3: many cancers, but we do know with colorectal cancer it's 320 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 3: very clear. So if you have a family history of 321 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 3: colorectal cancer, it's something that I would be being very 322 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,599 Speaker 3: very careful of. Now, the thing is a lot of 323 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 3: us associate these process red meats with red meat. So 324 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 3: I should stop saying process red meats and just saying 325 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: process meats in general, right, because although, like I said, 326 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 3: it's the bacon, the kabana, the salami, the sausages, sometimes 327 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 3: the chicken and turkey falls into that category as well. 328 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 3: And one of my clients messaged me during the week, Susie, 329 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 3: and she says, hey, I've got this in my freezer, 330 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 3: can I use it up? It just says that I 331 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 3: think it was like ninety five percent organic chicken with 332 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 3: some flavors and that sort of thing. And I said 333 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 3: to her, although it looks like normal chicken, right, like 334 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 3: it reads like normal chicken on the label, it's actually 335 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 3: still considered a process meat because there are added preservatives 336 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 3: in that. So chicken and turkey, the kind of stuff 337 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 3: that you'll find in the deli section that sliced it's 338 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 3: ready to go for lunchboxes, that often falls under the 339 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: same category as process red meats because when we're doing 340 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 3: things to preserve them that generally, then you know we're 341 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 3: adding things like extra salt, to nitrates and preservatives into 342 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 3: that that will still fall under the banner of eating 343 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 3: processed meats as well. So you just need to be 344 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 3: careful of pretty much any kind of meats that you're 345 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: buying from that deli section, or that sliced in that Yeah, 346 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 3: the slice meats kind of section where the ham and 347 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: the salami and the turkey are found. You just need 348 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 3: to be really careful and have a good read of 349 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: the ingredient list. But I would say generally, Susie, would 350 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 3: you agree that most of the meats found in that section, 351 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 3: whether it's chicken, turkey, ham, salami, are considered under this 352 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 3: process meat banner one hundred percent. 353 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 2: So the first issue is that, certainly from a health perspective, 354 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 2: they have some concerns around their relationship to digestive track cancers, 355 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: and certainly we've seen this dramatic increase in those types 356 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: of cancer basically change the bow lining and leave you 357 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: more susceptible to those. 358 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: But nutritionally, the issue is that they're still processed. 359 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: So when we talk about protein and particularly adding it 360 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 2: to lunches and lunch boxes, you know, we're sort of 361 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: working out how much you need, like adults twenty to 362 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: thirty grams, kids at least ten. Now, the issue is 363 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: that process meat like ham, you need so much of 364 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 2: it to get the equivalent amount of protein, Like you 365 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: need almost one hundred grams of ham, which is often 366 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: the entire one of those packets to get even close, 367 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 2: and it's still lower because those meats are processed with 368 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: more water and fillings. 369 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: Kind of added. 370 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 2: So I think about one hundred grands of ham has 371 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: got about sixteen grams of protein. 372 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: Now. 373 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 2: To be loading that much process meat, there's a number 374 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 2: of negatives. You know, it's adding salt to the diet. 375 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: We shouldn't be eating processed meats more than once or 376 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: twice a week, so including them every day on sandwiches 377 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: is not the best choice. You know, you're a million 378 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 2: times better to have things like tuna or tin fish. 379 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: Or leftover chicken breast. 380 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: So I think there's an issue because it's often considered 381 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: a cheaper choice for families to grab the shaved ham 382 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 2: or turkey perkilo, But ultimately you're basically getting a lot 383 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 2: of processed food that we shouldn't be recommending in terms 384 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 2: of the quality of food. So I think a lot 385 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 2: of people don't realize that in the sense, if it's chicken, 386 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 2: it's just lower in overall. And I think the issue 387 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: fundamentally with promoting more snack food with processed meat is 388 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 2: that you know, kids can be having that kind of 389 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: food every day. It's actually very expensive. People would say 390 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 2: it's cheaper than say chicken breast, Well not really perkilo 391 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: when you look at amount. So I am a parent. 392 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 2: At times I might use hand but I really try 393 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 2: and instead cook extra lean sausage is still a process meat, 394 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: but cook leans the lean sausages or chicken breast extra 395 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: and add some chitzel in there. As opposed to using 396 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 2: processed meat too frequently in the kid's lunchboxes. And I'm 397 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 2: a hard no on the process meat snacks. I think 398 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: that is like if you get a rice pack, a 399 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: rice cracker snack that's got rounds of chicken meat, process 400 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 2: chicken meat, cheese, and rice cracker, there's so much processed 401 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: food there. Sure there's a little bit of protein, but 402 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 2: it's not good for us to be having that processed food, 403 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: and it's certainly not good for the kids. So I'm 404 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 2: a big no on those, particularly when you see it 405 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 2: with say process biscuits like shapes, I just think, what 406 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 2: is going on in the supermarket that they've snuck in 407 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 2: as a healthier snack food. 408 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: Well, that's just not the case. You know. 409 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 2: If I'm talking protein in school lunchboxes, I would much 410 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: prefer dairy so yogurt or cheese, then I ever would 411 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 2: use processed meats, and I don't think that's been communicated 412 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 2: well in the media. And then there's this sort of 413 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 2: another category, which is like the jerkys, so the dried meats. Now, 414 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 2: while they are not technically processed with nitrates, so not 415 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 2: as much as a concern the digestive health. 416 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: The issue with those is they're so packfull of sodium. 417 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: You know, when I worked in South Africa with the 418 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 2: rugby one of my rugby boys who was like six 419 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 2: ft five came back and had gained two kilos overnight. 420 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: And when I realized, you've eaten like a kilo of 421 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 2: dried meat, because in South Africa culturally they eat a 422 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 2: huge amount of biltong and dried Now, he was a footballer. 423 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: Who was sweating a lot and they need a lot 424 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: of calories. That was less than a concern for him. 425 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 2: But for example, just twenty five grands of jerky, which 426 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 2: is not very much, you know, it's a few pieces, 427 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 2: has got more than seven hundred million grams of sodium 428 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: and you know, almost ten grams of protein. So my 429 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 2: concern for small children in particular, anyone under ten is 430 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 2: that the sodium and protein amounts are actually too high. 431 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 2: So if you were rating and saying, well, you're actually 432 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: better to have dried meat than process meat. 433 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: So yes, if you were trying to add a. 434 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: Little bit of protein to the lunchboxes the older children, 435 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 2: a few pieces of jerky's okay, but for any child 436 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 2: under the age of ten, it's too concentrated in protein 437 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: and too high in salt. 438 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,719 Speaker 1: So I think we have to just be aware of that. 439 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 2: And as I said, I don't think we've discussed it, 440 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 2: nor do I think it's been discussed in main media. 441 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,959 Speaker 2: And you have to be sort of careful because if 442 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 2: you think about industry groups, they're powerful groups, the groups 443 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: that make these products, and they're taking bigger and bigger 444 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: sections of the supermarket. But as dieticians we have to 445 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 2: be very clear processed meat is not good for us. 446 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 2: It's not good for the sandwiches, really, and you're actually 447 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 2: much better to put a slice of cheese or some avocado, 448 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: or some leftover chicken or a tiner tutor if the 449 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 2: kids will tolerate it, or go for dairy forms of 450 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 2: protein in the lunch box, rather than thinking you're putting 451 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 2: a couple of slices of ham and getting some protein 452 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 2: because the reality is one or two slices of shaved 453 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 2: hand will give you a couple of grams of protein 454 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: if that. 455 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. And I'm glad you brought up biltong 456 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 3: in the jerky because I had a lovely client asked 457 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 3: me about that this week for her teenage son. I 458 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 3: think it's very trendy on social media, like it must 459 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 3: be all over TikTok and she said, oh, all the 460 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 3: boys want to have this in their lunch box? Is 461 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 3: that okay to put in? And so like you, I said, 462 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 3: you know, jerki is a better alternative to things like 463 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 3: ham and salami because it's not considered processed because it 464 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 3: is dried out. But where the issue stands is the 465 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 3: high amount of protein, and like you said, the sodium 466 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 3: content as well. So you know, if they're boys, they're 467 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 3: super active, they're a bit older. You know, we're talking 468 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 3: sixteen seventeen, you know year old teens versus eight nine 469 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 3: ten year old teens. Sure they can get away with 470 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 3: a little bit more protein. If they're running around a lot, 471 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 3: it's hot, if they're sweating a lot, perhaps a little 472 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 3: bit of added sodium's not bad, but I think it's 473 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 3: very different for a sixteen seventeen year old boy to 474 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 3: be having some jerky in their lunch box a few 475 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 3: times a week versus a eight or nine year old 476 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 3: boy to be having that or girl as well. So 477 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 3: I think it's an important discussion today, SUSI. You know, 478 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 3: just circle back to the chicken and the turkey, the 479 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 3: slice sort of stuff we found in the deli, because 480 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 3: I think it's important to really bring this one home 481 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 3: because often, I guess they're touted as a healthy alternative 482 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 3: to red meats like salami and ham, But if the 483 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 3: chicken and turkey has been preserved, it actually still counts 484 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 3: as a process meat. And when you're having that regularly 485 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 3: over time, it can be harmful and lead to increasing 486 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 3: your risk of developing different types of cancers. So most 487 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 3: cold cuts of meat, whether it is red or white, 488 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: like turkey or chicken, are actually considered a processed meat. 489 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 3: And if you look at some of the cancer research 490 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 3: institutes around the world, For example, one of the ones 491 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 3: the American Institute for Cancer Research, which puts out some 492 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 3: really good quality research that actually defines a process meat 493 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 3: as any meat preserved by smoking cure, salting, or the 494 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 3: addition of chemical preservatives such as night trates, and even 495 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 3: I know a lot of Americans, if we've got some 496 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: of our American clients listening, they eat a lot of 497 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 3: turkey bacon. Even a lot of different brands of turkey 498 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 3: bacon have nitrates added. So I think it's just important 499 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 3: to be reading our nutrition label. Sure, if you're going 500 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 3: to have these things as a one off, you're running 501 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 3: into I don't know, a salad bar and you're grabbing, 502 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 3: you know, a bit of a salad with a bit 503 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 3: of chopped up chicken or a subway or something like 504 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 3: that once or twice a week, like it's not a 505 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 3: big deal. But if you're using it regularly in your 506 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 3: lunches or in your kid's lunchbox, like it's multiple times 507 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 3: a week, it's nearly every day. No, No, you're using it 508 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 3: on sandwiches and salads and wraps. You're also then backing 509 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 3: it up and having it on pizzas and you know, 510 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 3: as part of burgers and that sort of thing is 511 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 3: dinner as well. When it's sneaking in more than about 512 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 3: i'd say two, three four times a week, I really 513 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 3: think you need to be stepping up your game and 514 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 3: looking at alternative sources of protein, whether it's for yourself 515 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 3: or whether it's for our kids lunchboxes, and remembering that 516 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 3: also some of our vegetarian options can be really good, 517 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 3: particularly children under about ten to twelve, Like they don't 518 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 3: need a lot of protein, like Susie said, so a 519 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 3: handful of chickpeas or some you know, some butter beans 520 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 3: or even some of the roasted chickpeas or adamamae beans, 521 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 3: they can still give a good protein hit with a 522 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 3: bit of cheese into a lunchbox. So then you can 523 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 3: just put a sandwich with a little bit of I 524 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 3: know most lunch schools are nut free, but maybe just 525 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 3: a little bit of i don't know, some spread or 526 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 3: avocado or something like that, because there's going to be 527 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 3: enough protein in from a bit of cheese or yogurt 528 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 3: in the lunchbox with a handful of beans or roasted 529 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 3: chickpeas or something like that. So it doesn't always have 530 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 3: to be animal based protein into the school lunchboxes for 531 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 3: young children because they're going to get plenty of protein 532 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,239 Speaker 3: through other alternative sauces like beans and legumes. Hopefully they 533 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 3: eat them. They're a wonderful addition to the diet, and 534 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 3: they actually help to reduce our risk of different types 535 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 3: of cancers long term as well. So I'm a big 536 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 3: fan of adding things like roasted chickpeas and adamamae beans. 537 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 3: Indicates lunchboxes to Susie. 538 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're good choices. 539 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 2: And as I said, I would certainly wouldn't be trying 540 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 2: to add process meat in the lunchbox more than once 541 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 2: or twice a week. 542 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: And really it's not. 543 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 2: Adding much protein at all, so just keep that in mind, 544 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 2: all right. So, as you may have noticed, we have 545 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 2: gone to one episode this year, just. 546 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: We're going to see how it goes. 547 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 2: We know you love two episodes, but it was taking 548 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 2: a huge amount of time and we've we've been a 549 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 2: little bit busy. So we're just going to run into 550 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 2: the first part of the year with a longer episode once. 551 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: A week and see how it goes. 552 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 2: But we hear you and and if it turns out 553 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 2: that you're really missing it and we need to do too, 554 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 2: we'll come back. But at the moment, we try to 555 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 2: put a longer episode together for a bit more meat, 556 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 2: because I like a longer poding episode myself. 557 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: So what I thought each time we would do is 558 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: come to what we're. 559 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 2: Seeing clinic, because I think one of the things about 560 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 2: Leanna and I is that we walk the walk of nutrition. 561 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 2: We see clients every day and we're constantly learning. So 562 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 2: I want us to talk about things that I see 563 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 2: is that my client's just eating the same thing every 564 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 2: single day. So I'll have diaries come through and at 565 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 2: the same time they have the exact same breakfast. So 566 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 2: for example, it might be a bit of a couple 567 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: of oats with a tablespoons of seeds and half a 568 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 2: banana and some protein yogurt, and then at twelve o'clock 569 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: each day they'll have some tuna and salad, and it's 570 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 2: just every single day is the same. Now, certainly initially 571 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 2: when someone's in backing your dietary change and trying to 572 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: clean up their diet, and it's a dramatic difference from 573 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 2: what they've been eating. 574 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: Before, you know, you're having calorie control, you're eating well. 575 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 2: A lot of the time it will work beautifully, but 576 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 2: then what you may notice is, all of a sudden, 577 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 2: it doesn't seem to. 578 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: Be working anymore. 579 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: And the reason that happens is that the body is very, 580 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 2: very smart, and it basically likes to be a little 581 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 2: bit lazy metabolically, and if you're doing the same thing 582 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 2: every day, it. 583 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: Doesn't have to work very hard. 584 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 2: It knows exactly what to do to process that food 585 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: and you may then notice that. 586 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: You don't notice much hunger. So, whilst a baseline. 587 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 2: Diet is important to get your protein foundation right and 588 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 2: get your calorie balance right, don't underestimate the importance of 589 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 2: mixing things up. So if you know that you've had 590 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 2: the same breakfast every day for the past twenty years, 591 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 2: or you have exactly the same afternoon tea, or very 592 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,719 Speaker 2: rarely do you change your routine at night where you 593 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 2: have your protein vegetables a small trade after dinner, it's 594 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 2: time to mix things up. And that may be just 595 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 2: as simple as rather than having four or five meals 596 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 2: a day every so often. 597 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: You just have three meals a day, or on the 598 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: weekends you. 599 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 2: Have a longer fast, or you might have a light 600 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 2: day of eating once a week because you're getting ready 601 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 2: for the weekends. So I just wanted to remind everyone 602 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 2: that if you're someone who is a creature of habit 603 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 2: and it's the same type of bread the same breakfast, cereal, 604 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 2: the same mix of lunch every day. Mixing things up 605 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: is one of the best things you can do metabolically, 606 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 2: and then if you will then notice that you'll see 607 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 2: changes in hunger, and that's a sign that your body's 608 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 2: working harder and your metabolism's increase. 609 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: So that is just basically what I want to talk about. 610 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: Change it up. 611 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 2: Whether it's brands of food, timing of eating on different days, 612 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 2: have different things, it's the best thing that you can 613 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 2: do to keep. 614 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: Your metabolism up, and in particularly if you're a fat. 615 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 2: Loss journey, continue to consistently lose weight over time. So 616 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 2: once you get to sort of six eight, twelve weeks 617 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 2: of very similar regime, the more you can change it up, 618 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 2: the better. 619 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 3: And it's not just from a fatless perspective. Changing it 620 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 3: up is important for diversity and nutrients because if you 621 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 3: have the exact same breakfast every day, you might have 622 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 3: it might be super healthy and nurishing. It might be 623 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 3: you know, Greek yogurts and fruits and nuts and some 624 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 3: seeds and a bit of you know, really wholesome granola, 625 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 3: or something that might be the standardbrecky every day. Then 626 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 3: lunches some form of you know, salad with a bit 627 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 3: of brown rice and either chicken or tuna, and then 628 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 3: dinner is like a bit of lean protein. It might 629 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 3: be salmon or fish, and it might always have veggies 630 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 3: and a bit of you know, roasted potato or sweet potato. 631 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 3: That is a very healthy, wholesome diet, but you're also 632 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 3: missing out on a lack of diversity in terms of 633 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 3: different types of nutrients and vitamins and minerals and photochemicals 634 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 3: and antioxidants. The more diversity we have in our diet, 635 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 3: the better it is for our gut health, and the 636 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 3: better it is for our overall nutrition and to give 637 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 3: us all the different types of vitamins and minerals, because 638 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 3: so many times, you know, we're utilizing the same vegetables 639 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 3: on repeat, and not that vegetables are a bad thing, 640 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 3: but it's always kind of you know, broccoli, carrots, and 641 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 3: I don't know, zucchini pretty much all the time. Like 642 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 3: when was the last time you ate some squash or 643 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 3: some eggplant or you had I added some red radishes 644 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 3: into a client salad the other day and she's like, 645 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 3: oh my goodness, I've never bought radishes and I really 646 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 3: like them. They were really crunchy. They added some good 647 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 3: texture to her salad and she really enjoyed them. So 648 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 3: I think it's a good time of year to have 649 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 3: brows of your local you know, it might be marketplace, 650 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 3: it might just be local coles and bullards, and see 651 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 3: what vegetables or salads are there as an option to 652 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 3: just substitute out to give yourself a little bit more variety. 653 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 3: So play with the timings, play with the type of meal, 654 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 3: and actually play with different types of vegetables and salads 655 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 3: as well. If you always put berries into your breakfast, 656 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 3: try a pair, try a fig, try some different type, 657 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 3: some blackberries instead of some blueberries. Just try to give 658 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,479 Speaker 3: yourself a bit of a shakeup when it comes to 659 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 3: the different types of ingredients you're having it. Because although 660 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 3: capsicums are wonderfully healthy, a red capsicum compared to a 661 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 3: yellow capsicum compared to a green capsicum all have slightly 662 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 3: different types of vitamins and minerals in them as well. 663 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 3: So the more diversity, the different types of colors, the 664 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 3: different types of ingredients. Don't always use brown rice. Try 665 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 3: to use some red rice or black rice, or some 666 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 3: kin white perhaps or even a different type of age 667 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 3: grain might be really important for you to have as 668 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 3: part of the carbohydrate serve in your dinner. If you 669 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 3: always use sweet potato, actually try having some white potato 670 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 3: or some purple potato, or throw in some kinmar instead. 671 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 3: So diversity is so important from a flatwel's perspective, but 672 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 3: more so from a general health perspective and in particular 673 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 3: a gut health perspective, because we know we now have 674 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 3: such great research that a lot of autoimmune conditions are 675 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 3: actually linked back to poor gut heals basically, so some 676 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 3: really good solid research and reasoning why we want you 677 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 3: to give a good shake up and not eat the 678 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 3: same thing every day. 679 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 2: True, And I think the other thing with mixing things 680 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 2: up can be tricky when you're looking at the cost 681 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 2: of different fruits and vegetables, and because if you go 682 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 2: and buy something like radishes, which takes me back to 683 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 2: the eighties when we would have often radishes with a salad, 684 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 2: they're quite expensive fishes and a salad. Yeah, it's sort 685 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 2: of something that isn't on that routine cucumber cat you know, 686 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 2: the standard stuff. And what I find can be a 687 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 2: barrier is that if you look at Willies or coals. 688 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: Radishes are really expensive like that kind of more you're vegetable. 689 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 2: So I think the little chick I've found lately in 690 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,959 Speaker 2: particular because of course, if Leanna and I are shooting 691 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 2: recipes and meal prepping, we have to go and find 692 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 2: all these things. Is you've got to find sort of 693 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 2: the local, cheaper grocery store, and you'll find that things. 694 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: Like that in season are a lot. 695 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,959 Speaker 2: You'll save like two three four dollars per serve from 696 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 2: some of those more obscure things like bradishes, and particularly 697 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,479 Speaker 2: when they're in season. 698 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: So shop around a little bit. 699 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 2: And also don't be scared to use things like tin 700 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 2: beetroop for example. You know, it's tricky to get beet troued, 701 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 2: it's hard to cook it, it's messy. Whereas the tin 702 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 2: stuff's there, there's a great one in the glass jar, 703 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 2: and adding that just gives different flavor. So look in 704 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 2: the canned and tin section to get that different variety too, 705 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 2: because yeah, sometimes just you know, adding pickles to something 706 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 2: or some tin corn to something like, it's just all 707 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 2: those different options, but really increase this diversity and nutrition 708 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 2: overall as well. 709 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: All right, Well, to. 710 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 2: Wrap us up today, and I promised you next week 711 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 2: we will come back to the three pm slump. That 712 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 2: was me getting over excited and we really wanted to 713 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 2: cover process meat today. So we will cover three pm 714 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: sumps next episode. But this will resonate with a lot 715 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 2: of listeners who spend time in the health food section, 716 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 2: because even it tipped my interest before Christmas when I 717 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 2: saw that, I think at Sunrise had released a new 718 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 2: range of individual packets of protein chips and they look, 719 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 2: you think to yourself, fantastic. You know, we need more 720 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: protein in our diet. And finally there's some chips that 721 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 2: are high in protein, and I think they're like three 722 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 2: or four dollars per bag. They're not inexpensive. 723 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 3: Now five dollars per fifty grand bag. 724 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: Huge, Yeah, like not inexpensive. Now. 725 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 2: What I wanted to talk about in particular about them 726 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 2: is that just because it says protein on it does 727 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 2: not mean they're healthier. 728 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: Because that little bag has got almost. 729 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 2: Three hundred calories in it, which is a meal, and 730 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 2: so you sort of munch on it as an innocent snack, 731 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 2: thinking you're doing the great thing. 732 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: Oh, you're right. 733 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 2: They are five dollars and of course you have them 734 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 2: in one serve. It's not a huge amount of food. 735 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 2: And when I look at the ingredient list, it's like rice, 736 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 2: so protein isolates, so sort of a process form of 737 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 2: protein being addity and a lot of flavors and things 738 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 2: to get it. It's actually got a form not MSDY itself, 739 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,719 Speaker 2: but a flavor in hearts, which I'm not a fan of, 740 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 2: for thirteen grams of protein, which to me, if you 741 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 2: can get if you buy a tin of tuna, which 742 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 2: is what a dollar or two, you're going to get 743 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 2: more protein, you know, almost half the calories so and 744 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 2: it's still thirty grands of carbiad like, that's still over 745 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 2: two sizes of bread in that product. So it's basically 746 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 2: highly processed form of a little bit of extra protein. 747 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 2: And you'd be a million times better just to have 748 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 2: some tunor on crackers or cottage cheese on a cracker, 749 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: or a high protein yogurt with fruit for a lot cheaper. 750 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: Price point than buying a packet. 751 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 2: Of chips, which are basically chips with a bit of 752 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 2: protein thrown in for fun. 753 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think what's our old saying, So if 754 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 3: it looks like a chip, but talks like a chip, 755 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 3: probably as a jip. It looks like a duck, talks 756 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 3: like a duck. So I mean, I'm just looking at 757 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 3: the nutrition, and now it's a bit small. So yeah, 758 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 3: one bag, five dollars for bag not not really affordable 759 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 3: for most families. Let's be honest. I'm not buying them 760 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 3: fifty grand bag two hundred and ten calories, So two 761 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 3: hundred and ten calories so not three hundred, but still 762 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 3: like a fair whack. And yes you're getting fourteen grams 763 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 3: of protein. But isn't the right type of protein we want? 764 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 3: When you look at the ingredient list, the first ingredient 765 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 3: is rice. Now this isn't like a good quality brown 766 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,719 Speaker 3: or black rice, right, this is quite the rice has 767 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 3: been significantly ground down into a chip, so it's a 768 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 3: processed form of our rice. And then the next ingredient 769 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 3: is soy isolate protein not the quality type of protein 770 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 3: that we really want either. It's more again a processed 771 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 3: type of protein. So can you eat something like this 772 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 3: if you love it? Yeah, but it's also not really 773 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 3: providing us with much nutritional value, Let's be honest. So 774 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 3: I would much rather my clients have a top of 775 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 3: Greek yogurt than a piece of fruit, because you're gonna 776 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 3: get more protein, for example, for one better quality fiber, 777 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 3: better quality carbohydrates. Yes, the carbohydrate will be the same. 778 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 3: It's got about thirty grams of carbohydrate per serving. So, 779 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 3: like Zeusue said, it's the equivalent of two slices of bread, 780 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 3: which is fine because it does have a bit of 781 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 3: protein in there. But for one point six grams of fiber, 782 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 3: I would rather my clients had one or two slices 783 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 3: of good quality, grainy dense bread with the bit of 784 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 3: cottage cheese or a little bit of tuna or some 785 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 3: avocado and some tomato slices on there. So it's not 786 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 3: all just about the macro nutrients. It's about the quality 787 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 3: of the food and what sort of nutrition it's actually 788 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 3: adding into our body. So what I ever recommend something 789 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 3: like this to my client. No, if they came to 790 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 3: me and they're like, yeah, and I found these new chips, 791 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 3: I love them, They're delicious, I would put them on 792 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 3: their soul food lists. So I give my clients a 793 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 3: list of snacks that are whole food based, and I 794 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 3: say these are the ones I want you to focus on. 795 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 3: Their feeling their narishing. They provide our body with good nutrition. 796 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 3: This is your soul food list that if you love things, 797 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 3: you're welcome to have a small amount of these a 798 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 3: couple of times a week. Let's be honest. I don't 799 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 3: add any positive nutrition to your body, but we enjoy them. 800 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 3: They feel like coup up. They're what I consider a 801 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 3: soul food. So to me, this is very much a 802 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 3: soul food, Susie, I don't really see it adding much 803 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 3: nutritional value to my client's diet. If they love it, 804 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 3: totally fine, If they don't, I would actually rather personally 805 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 3: go and have a good handful of red rocked Delli chips. 806 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 3: Are they quote unquote as healthy? Perhaps perhaps and not? 807 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 3: Like to me, they're both soul foods though, so I'm 808 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 3: not going to preference something like this over another good 809 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 3: quality snack like a handful of roasted chickpeas or at 810 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 3: amamo beans with a bit of you know, tarrent with 811 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 3: the lovely Mediterranean depth that we both love, or you know, 812 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 3: a milky coffee and a handful of nuts. I think 813 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 3: you're going to get far better quality nutrition out of 814 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 3: more whole food based snacks. So me, this is still 815 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 3: an overly processed snack dressed up and marketed as something 816 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 3: that's a bit of a health halo. Looks like a 817 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 3: duck to me, talks like a duck. It's hard note 818 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 3: from me unless you absolutely love it. 819 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, hard note for me as well. 820 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 2: So basically the messages don't get sucked in from high 821 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 2: protein snack food. 822 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: If it looks too good to be true, it usually is. 823 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: All right. 824 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 2: Well, that brings us the end of a nutrition couch 825 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 2: for another Wednesday. Please get telling your friends about it 826 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 2: so we can continue to grow. And I've had a 827 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 2: number of messages on Instagram about looking for our protein nourish. 828 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 2: It's available on our designed bydietitians dot com website, so 829 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 2: that's where you'll find that.
