1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: Do you have ongoing issue with your tummy and digestion? 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: Do you know that you react badly to some foods 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: but just really don't know why. In today's midweek motivational 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: episode of The Nutrition Couch, Leanne shares a digestive health 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: case study which is an example of a common tummy 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: complaint we hear from clients regularly. Hi, I'm Susie Burrell 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: and Emily Andne what and each week we bring you 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: The Nutrition Couch, the bi weekly podcast that keeps you 9 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: up to date on everything you need to know in 10 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: the world of nutrition as well as gut health. Our 11 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: weekly product review is on a fab calorie controlled frozen 12 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: meal that we've founded audi and love, and we have 13 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: been very busy cooking up some warming winter breakfast that 14 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: you are also going to love. So for those of 15 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: you who weren't familiar, Leanne is actually our digestive health 16 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: specialist and for a number of years early in her 17 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: career she actually worked at a tertiary level at a 18 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: hospital in Brisbane, concentrating on digestive issues and complaints. So 19 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: we thought it was time to bring in some of 20 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: that expertise because we know we've got a lot of 21 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: people listening who have some irritable bow like symptoms. 22 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: Yep, definitely. So I worked as a senior guestorontrology dietitian 23 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 2: at one of these smaller Brisbane based hospitals here. I 24 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 2: really really enjoyed my time there. So that's why my 25 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: primary focus is when I work with my ladies, it's 26 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 2: around fat loss. It's around that emotional and behaviors behind eating, 27 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: but also really around digestive health and hormones as well, 28 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 2: which I really really love. And what I do find 29 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: is that the predominant bulk of my clients with IBS, 30 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 2: so either that one spectrum where they're more that diarrhea 31 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: or the other spectrum where they're more that kind of 32 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 2: constipating and that sluggish and that bloated. So today I 33 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: wanted to talk through a very quick case study with 34 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: a client of mine who was more of that constipation 35 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: predominant type IBF. So she was full sluggish, bloated, really like, 36 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: didn't go very regularly and had what we term that 37 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: incomplete evacuation. Right, So when you're going to the bathroom 38 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: to have a bow motion, you might have a small 39 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: bower motion, but you never completely feel like you've fully evacuated, 40 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 2: but try as hard as you could. She could never 41 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: really clear out or have a about emotion like she 42 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: would describe. So within a couple of weeks we saw 43 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: some really really great benefits. But what I really saw 44 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: from her Susie. So she worked with a dietitian, and 45 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: this is where choosing a dietitian who specializes in the 46 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: field that you're after is really important. She just went, 47 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: you know, to her doctor, who said, you know, you 48 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: did a couple of blood tests, you've got ibs. You 49 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: know it's related to constellation. Go see a dietitian. She 50 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: went and saw the one attached to the GP clinic 51 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: that she was at. Didn't get very far because they 52 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: were like, look, just increase the fiber when your diet 53 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: and you'll be mu lot better. So when she came 54 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: through me, what she was doing was using a lot 55 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: of like high fiber type cereal and protein bar products. 56 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: So she's choosing these high fiber cereals that had upwards 57 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: of ten fifteen grams of fiber in there, and when 58 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: I look at them, it's not the type of fiber 59 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: that we really want to prioritize too much for constipation. Like, 60 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: it's a lot of like added prebodic type fiber. It's 61 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: the big one being inulin. A lot of these products 62 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 2: and same with these protein in these snackbar She's chowing 63 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: down on these as snacks and a lot of them 64 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: have twelve to fifty dean grams of probotic type fiber 65 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: in there. And what was happening is it was actually 66 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 2: making her gas and her bloating a lot worse because 67 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: she was quite sensitive to them, and I myself are 68 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 2: very sensitive to innuline as well. It's a lovely probotic fiber. 69 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: What it does is it helps to feed the good 70 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: bacteria in your gut. So from a gut health perspective, 71 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 2: probotics are wonderful. We love them. But in sensitive people, 72 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 2: a lot of people, myself included, can't tolerate inuline, particularly 73 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: at those really high levels. 74 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: So what we did is we. 75 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: Took out a lot of the processed foods that were 76 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: high in fiber. We added in a lot more of 77 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: the whole grain type foods. Now, when you're increasing fiber 78 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: in the diet, for one, you have to do it slowly, 79 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: and two you have to do it with a lot 80 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: of water. If you do it too quickly and you 81 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: don't add the water or the hydration component to match it, 82 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: you can actually make things ten times worse Susie, which 83 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: is not fun for anybody. So we went very slowly. 84 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: We increased fibers slowly in the diet over the course 85 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: of six to eight weeks. We made sure that her 86 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: hydration was on point as well. And another really important 87 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: strategy for constipation management is really making sure that you're 88 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 2: moving so it doesn't have to be like an hour 89 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: and a half session in the gym every day. It 90 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: can simply be ten to fifteen minutes of walking. So 91 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: what she'd do, she'd get up, she'd have a cup 92 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: of coffee, she'd go for about a ten to fifteen 93 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 2: minute wander down the road, around the block, whatever it was, 94 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: and then she'd come back and we'd focus on a 95 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 2: higher fiber breakfast option to really get the boughs going, 96 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 2: because the bowels really work well with fluid, fiber and 97 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: physical activity. The three f's I used to call them, 98 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: not that physical activity is an f the P but 99 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 2: the drill, the fluid, the fiber, and the physical activity. 100 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: It's my sort of trio for constipation management. So we 101 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 2: gave her things for breakfast, you know, like rolloats. We 102 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 2: added in nuts and seeds, We added in things like 103 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: cheer puddings, even smoothies. We could add in a lot 104 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: of fruits and vegetables to them as well, and then 105 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: lunches and dinners were really based on you know, whole grains. 106 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 2: We really prioritize things like legumes, but again being a 107 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: sensitive tummy, we did that very slowly. If you're not 108 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 2: someone that is used to eating a lot of beans 109 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 2: and legumes and you just dump whole lot into your 110 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 2: diet quickly, I can pretty much guarantee you that your 111 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 2: gas is going to be horrendous. So you need to 112 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: do things very slowly. When we're working with a lot 113 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: of fiber, and really what she noticed one of the 114 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: first things was we really focus on a lot of 115 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: the soluble fibers of that gentle bulking type fiber to 116 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: really help to give her a complete stool. So what 117 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: we really did was we change the consistency of the stool. 118 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: Long term, we got things a lot more regular. And 119 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: what I find with a lot of the bloating and 120 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 2: the gas complaints with a lot of my clients Suzy, 121 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: is that a lot of that goes away if you 122 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 2: can fix the constipation, if you can get the boughs 123 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: ticking over regularly, you don't get as much of that 124 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: build up or that blockage. So a lot of the 125 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: gas and the bloating goes away with it because things 126 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: are actually moving through properly. So it's really just a 127 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: focus on more whole foods versus these processed type, high 128 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: fiber foods. It was really eating regularly as well. She 129 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: tended to just have a couple of coffees in the 130 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: morning on this really high fiber cereal kind of skip 131 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 2: lunch or eat on the run, snack, snack, snack, and 132 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: then have So what we did is we got her 133 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: eating regularly, but not constantly snacking and grazing. So I 134 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: wanted three good quality meals in a day and snacks 135 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 2: only if she was hungry, and she didn't do a 136 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 2: ton of activity, so we actually didn't really need a 137 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 2: lot of snacks, which worked well from a fat loss perspective. 138 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 2: She got some great fat loss results as well. But 139 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 2: with the snacking, I find that your gut actually needs rest, 140 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: it needs time to digest the food, and it does 141 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: well with periods of rest. So I don't like my 142 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 2: ladies when we're working on digestion and hormones to be 143 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 2: constantly snacky and grazing throughout the day. So that was 144 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: another thing we did that really improved her digestion overall. 145 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: So really does that focus on a little bit of 146 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: extra movement, whole food focus, more fluid, more fiber, but 147 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 2: slowly and not getting too much in from like a 148 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 2: more like an artificial fiber type perspective. Really working with 149 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: more of a whole food base as well, and cutting 150 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: out the grazing and going towards more balanced meals every day. Really, 151 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: the constipation was a thing of the past. The bower 152 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: movements are very regular. She was no longer experiencing that 153 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: complete evacuation type feeling, and a lot of the gas 154 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,239 Speaker 2: and bloating was very very manageable. I mean some gas 155 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 2: and bloating is normal. That's a part of being a human. 156 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: Particularly for females around their cycle, you really feel a 157 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: little bit more gassy and bloated. A lot of ladies 158 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: do report that they have a little bit looser stools 159 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: just because of the big hormone drop around that time 160 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: of the month. That's all a little bit normal, but 161 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: you know, Herseel's quite abnormal. It was there on a 162 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 2: regular basis. It was causing her significant pain and issues 163 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: just with the daily quality of life as well. So 164 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: we really had some great results just from those kind 165 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: of simple strategies that we worked. And over the period 166 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 2: of kind of a couple of weeks to a month. 167 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: Or so, we get so many questions about digestive health. 168 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: And I think modern life, low fiber diet, stress, too 169 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: much coffee. You know, if you think about it, they 170 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: all contribute to some discomfort in the digestive system. And 171 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: over time we change the diets to suit it, or 172 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: we eat poor more poorly, or all those things. You 173 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: understand why. And certainly if you're a sensitive person, one 174 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: of the first places you'll feel it is in your 175 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: digestive system. So very good practical tips land all right, Well, 176 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: changing tone a little bit. When we find a product 177 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: in the supermarket that has outstanding nutritionals, we get excited 178 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: and we'll send each other the nutritional panel. And that 179 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: was exactly what happened this week when Leanne sent me 180 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: one of the Audi Thi range of frozen meals. Now 181 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: Audi have got several different frozen meal varieties there. They've 182 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,479 Speaker 1: got kind of the cheap versions, which is like the Lasagnas, 183 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: and then kind of the meat and veggie mixes, which 184 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: are a lot are actually pretty good. Then they've got 185 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: kind of their SuperNature style whole food based meals which 186 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: might have rice past their sort of energy with some 187 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: sort of medium nutritionally. 188 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 2: The a bit low in protein. 189 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: Those ones, Yeah, they tend to be higher card, more 190 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: whole grain, low calorie, but it's kind of marketed as 191 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: they're more boutique nutritionally dense range. But then they've got 192 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: this amazing new range that has been there probably for 193 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: the past maybe a year or so, and it's called 194 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: the it's sort of got audi fit and they're in 195 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: a black box. They're at a higher price point, but 196 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: I want to say it's not too high. I want 197 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: to say it's like six dollars fifty. It's certainly not 198 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: as high as a premium frozen meal in supermarket, which 199 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: can be up to sort of eight ten dollars. I 200 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: couldn't tell you the exact price, but I think it's 201 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: about six fifty. We'll have a quick google now and 202 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: see if we can find that now, there's all different ones. 203 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: There's a few that are there at the moment as 204 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: a special release. Like there's a burrito bowl I bought 205 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: for Chris actually, which had quite nice nutritionals. But the 206 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: one we love is the mash pee and chicken one, 207 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: and it's got three hundred and eighty calories. It's got 208 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: a massive thirty grams of protein, which is so high 209 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: for a frozen meal. It's got almost twenty grams of fat, 210 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: but it's three hundred thirty grams, which is quite heavy, 211 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: and it's still not a high fat food. It's only 212 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: six per hundred grams, so still pretty reasonable for a meal. 213 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: The saturated fat's not as low as we would like. 214 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: It's actually twelve point five per serve or three point eight. 215 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm just looking where that's coming from, a bit of 216 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: the milk going through it. And it's got only sixteen 217 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: point five grams of carbohydrates, so less than two slices 218 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: of bread, ten grams of sugars, which is not low 219 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: but not overly high, a massive almost eight grams of fiber, 220 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: and then it's got one thousand and sixty milligrams of 221 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: cert in, which, if we're honest, is a little bit 222 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: on the high side. But the reason is, as Leanne 223 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: just pointed out to me, it's fifty percent p mash, 224 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: so it's got a really high veggie base, and then 225 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: it's got it must have a massive amount of chicken. Yeah, 226 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: twenty four percent chicken to give thirty grams of protein. 227 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: And then it's got some other veggies in it, some tomatoes, 228 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: bits and pieces. But I really can't fault it for 229 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: the price point, the calories, the protein that you're getting 230 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: thirty grams, you're hard pushed to find that for a 231 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: meal that's less than ten or twelve dollars in the supermarkets. 232 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: It's really good. So it's a big thumbs up from us. 233 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: And I'm actually also going to share the nutritionals on 234 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: that Mexican bowl because they're really strong as well. This 235 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: is a special release one. But just did you do 236 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: quick search the price? 237 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've just looked up the lemon pepper chicken. So 238 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 2: they're called the Health and Vitality Fit range at ALDI. 239 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: They retail for about six the article I found say 240 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 2: six dollars forty nine with six fifty. But the annoying 241 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 2: thing with Aldi is they're not really online, so it 242 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: may or may not be a little bit different. I 243 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: don't know how old this article is, but I think 244 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: about six to fifty from memory. That does sound right, 245 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: and you just hit it up. It's a one surf 246 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: like you know, for basically four hundred calories and thirty 247 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: grams of protein. Like if you want out and bought 248 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 2: chicken breast yourself, you'd be paying at least six dollars, 249 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 2: and that's without any of the vegetables. So, yes, it's 250 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 2: a longer ingredient list, but it's pretty clean, and it's 251 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: fifty percent piece as well, which is you know, you're 252 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 2: getting in some veggie bulk, you're getting in some fiber 253 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: like dietary fiber seven point nine grams, only eight gram 254 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: of dietary fiber, and that meal, which is amazing and 255 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: really well carb controlled, like people might say, oh it's 256 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 2: all peas, it's all carbs. Pieas have significantly less starches 257 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 2: than you know, other types of carbohydrates. If you're walking 258 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 2: this with rice or pass so the carbohydrate content would 259 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 2: be far higher. So you know, that's a standard serving 260 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: of carbohydrates. If you're intel resistant, you've got diabetes, that's 261 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 2: a wonderful product, you know, sixteen point five grams of 262 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: carbs with thirty grams of protein to buffer that out, 263 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 2: and nearly twenty grams of fat. You're really doing a good, 264 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 2: you know, service to your sugar levels. This is it's 265 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 2: a good quality meal. You can always add some extra 266 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: vegetables in there as you're heating it up as well. 267 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 2: It's very affordable. It gets a thumbs up from me. 268 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 2: I haven't tried it, but I must say the picture 269 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: looks pretty tasty. 270 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: Off for a lunch for six fifty. For thirty grams 271 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: of protein, you can't go wrong. Now, the other one 272 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: they've got is the beef burrito bowl, and so this 273 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: one has got brown rice. So it's got twenty one 274 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: grams of protein, forty seven grams of carb, twenty six 275 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: grams of fat, and five forty one calorie. So it's 276 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,080 Speaker 1: a bit more energy dense. So that's better for someone 277 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: who's sort of exercising a male Versus that thit lemon 278 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: and pepper chicken, which is really good for women. The 279 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: lighter carb load. But yeah, for six point fifty, you 280 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: can not go wrong. You are hard pushed to find 281 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: any foods like that, So yeah, big thumbs up from us. 282 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: We are big fans, all right.

I was saying, Look, eggs 316 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: are really underrated, like the colon and eggs are really 317 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: really important for things like fertility. So I'm a big 318 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: fan of having eggs a couple of times a week, 319 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 2: particularly if your goal is you know, a pregnancy or 320 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: fertility or something like that. I really think they're a 321 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 2: really underrated food and they're very affordable as well from 322 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: a protein perspective, and they're very filling you know, the 323 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: protein and the fat content and eggs is wonderful, so 324 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: I'm a fan. I use them a couple of times 325 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 2: a week, and you know, if you're getting a bit 326 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 2: bored of just the standard eggs on toast, definitely give 327 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: Susie's recipe a world that sounds delicious.
