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