WEBVTT

00:00:05.819 --> 00:00:09.720
Hey Steph. Hello Anna. Welcome back to another

00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:13.400
episode of Bariatric Banter Podcast. We're back

00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.980
again. We're back, back again. Welcome to the

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:19.539
new bi -weekly format. Seems to be working well.

00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:22.420
We love that you guys are hanging in there with

00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:25.519
us and tagging along on our new kind of format

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.539
that we're releasing here. It's been awesome.

00:00:30.980 --> 00:00:33.740
We are going to put the banter back in bariatric

00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:38.799
banter podcast because we are going to banter

00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.700
about our week, bariatrics, what's going on.

00:00:42.179 --> 00:00:45.600
We went through the big main topics and now we

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:47.679
can finally run the podcast the way we want to,

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.280
which is what we want to talk about. Everyday

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.880
things. What's going on, what we're dealing with,

00:00:53.020 --> 00:00:54.460
what we're struggling with, what we're seeing.

00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:59.320
Yes. I think. something that I have to bring

00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.039
up right off the beginning is we got a, we got

00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.879
a comment on the podcast. Here we go. You know,

00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:07.540
and this happens every now that we get like lovely

00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:09.739
comments from all of you, by the way, like you

00:01:09.739 --> 00:01:12.420
guys give us the best topics to talk about and

00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:16.400
we love reading the comments. This one, you're

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:21.719
going to laugh when you, when you hear it. It

00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.260
kind of popped up. I was taking a peek at it.

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.500
And let me see if I can bring it up on my phone

00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:28.340
because I laughed. I didn't think anything of

00:01:28.340 --> 00:01:31.420
it. Was this an Instagram message or a Spotify

00:01:31.420 --> 00:01:34.939
comment? This was on Spotify all the way. I feel

00:01:34.939 --> 00:01:37.980
like for some reason, our Instagram messages

00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:40.540
are phenomenal. You get such great, positive,

00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.819
lovely messages on Instagram. And whenever somebody

00:01:43.819 --> 00:01:46.540
wants to like fight us on something or like.

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.400
take a shot at us, it's always on a Spotify comment.

00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.019
Always on Spotify. I don't know if it's because

00:01:51.019 --> 00:01:54.319
it's anonymous or not, but somebody said, oh

00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:57.120
boy, too bad about the potty mouth. The odd F

00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.140
-bomb or whatever is fine, but this chick is

00:01:59.140 --> 00:02:04.219
just tacky. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Thank you so much.

00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:10.330
That's so, I love it. Tacky. I'm tacky. I mean,

00:02:10.330 --> 00:02:13.189
legit. I get it. Also, I'm not going to stop

00:02:13.189 --> 00:02:15.789
swearing. It's just who I am. But why I bring

00:02:15.789 --> 00:02:18.449
it up is like, I don't care. I laughed so hard

00:02:18.449 --> 00:02:21.270
when I saw that comment. And I was like, whatever.

00:02:21.650 --> 00:02:24.030
We're not engaging with stuff like that. We don't

00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:29.090
care. But like, why is it women always get this

00:02:29.090 --> 00:02:32.250
comment? Because I've noticed on like the Call

00:02:32.250 --> 00:02:34.909
Me Daddy podcast and even on like How to Get

00:02:34.909 --> 00:02:38.120
Away with Murder. They are consistently told

00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:41.800
this. Somebody was on Reddit talking about Call

00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:43.340
Me Daddy and they were like, it would be a better

00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:46.379
podcast if she didn't swear. What a trash person

00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:49.240
she is. And I was like, who gives a shit? Her

00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.840
podcast is hilarious. And this is not a children's

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.719
podcast. No, but it's you're a woman and you're

00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.099
being tacky and distasteful because women shouldn't

00:03:01.099 --> 00:03:03.939
swear. Not becoming of a woman to have a potty

00:03:03.939 --> 00:03:06.780
mouth. And it's like, I listened to a dozen other

00:03:06.780 --> 00:03:08.819
podcasts. Like how did this get made? Which is

00:03:08.819 --> 00:03:11.400
hilarious. My favorite podcast, a ton of other

00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.319
podcasts that are kind of male dominated. And

00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.280
I have never, ever seen a comment or an Instagram

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.180
message or a Reddit post at all ever about their

00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:23.000
swearing. Look, I don't listen to it, but I'm

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.939
just making an assumption, which I shouldn't

00:03:24.939 --> 00:03:27.180
do. But like Devin listens to Joe Rogan. I'm

00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:30.800
assuming they're like, there's going to be foul

00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.360
language. And that's when I like the top rated

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:37.719
podcasts. yeah so it's fine yeah and so it's

00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.840
just it's i get it like if there's older folks

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.300
that listen i get that it's a bit crass and that

00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:45.000
that's something i get that you know but i i

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.759
grew up on the east coast and you know we have

00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.840
a bit of a sailor's mouth and it is what it is

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.080
but i have toned it down a lot this was also

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.960
on like our second episode ever we're like yeah

00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.840
it was a little much but whatever it's less about

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.240
me because i get it i do swear and sure i'll

00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.129
work on it but it's like Not the first podcast

00:04:03.129 --> 00:04:05.990
I've seen. Yeah. Just the fact that it's made.

00:04:06.990 --> 00:04:09.389
It's just, it seems to always be women. And it's

00:04:09.389 --> 00:04:11.430
the same comment. Like, how dare you? This is

00:04:11.430 --> 00:04:13.849
terrible. Blah, blah, blah. And it's like, okay,

00:04:13.889 --> 00:04:15.770
well then just, I'm sorry, but don't listen.

00:04:16.550 --> 00:04:19.050
Don't listen. No one's forcing you to listen

00:04:19.050 --> 00:04:20.910
to our podcast. We appreciate those of you who

00:04:20.910 --> 00:04:23.430
are, and we love having you here all the time.

00:04:23.550 --> 00:04:28.930
But no one's forcing you to. Like, if you don't

00:04:28.930 --> 00:04:31.269
like the language, listen to something else.

00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:34.459
Yeah, away you go. There's actually a podcast

00:04:34.459 --> 00:04:37.519
episode from iHeartRadio. It's really, I can't

00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:38.980
remember the name of the podcast, but there's

00:04:38.980 --> 00:04:42.120
one about like the curse of swearing women. And

00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.360
it's so funny. And like, I remember a friend

00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.279
sent it to me a while. I think it's Stuff Mom

00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.220
Never Told You or something like that is the

00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:50.500
name of the podcast. It's such a funny, good

00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:52.920
episode about like, it's considered a masculine

00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.839
habit and we're not supposed to be doing it.

00:04:56.259 --> 00:05:00.120
And that there's just this profanity gender gap.

00:05:01.269 --> 00:05:03.149
And I have to admit, like, it's true. And I'll,

00:05:03.170 --> 00:05:05.810
for whoever is against my swearing, I will say,

00:05:05.850 --> 00:05:08.490
yeah, I absolutely do swear at work, but I'm

00:05:08.490 --> 00:05:10.550
a senior director. I'm pretty high up in what

00:05:10.550 --> 00:05:12.810
I do and it has never held me back because if

00:05:12.810 --> 00:05:14.769
you've ever worked in tech, the amount of - Oh

00:05:14.769 --> 00:05:18.250
my gosh, the language. Yeah. Yeah. The amount

00:05:18.250 --> 00:05:21.430
that men are swearing in tech. Like I've had

00:05:21.430 --> 00:05:24.629
men, grown men yelling at 20 something year old

00:05:24.629 --> 00:05:27.730
staff members, men and women calling them, you

00:05:27.730 --> 00:05:31.839
know, the F word. Like, just berating them. And

00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.540
it's like, okay, I would never, never do that.

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:36.779
But occasionally I'll say, like, guys, what the

00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:38.540
fuck happened with this? This should not have

00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:41.500
happened like this. Yeah. I'll never use my profanity

00:05:41.500 --> 00:05:44.040
against someone. No. But, I mean, at the end

00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.699
of the day, like, we're adults. If you can't

00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:48.079
handle that, like, do you not watch TV or movies?

00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:51.860
Like, okay, but think about that. How often are

00:05:51.860 --> 00:05:55.000
women swearing in TV shows? Yeah, there's not

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.319
many shows where the women are. When's the last

00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.079
time Olivia Benson pulled up to court and was

00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:03.160
like, fuck this man, your honor. This is bullshit.

00:06:03.860 --> 00:06:06.420
This is some bullshit. But anyway, that made

00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:08.339
me laugh. And I just had to open the podcast

00:06:08.339 --> 00:06:11.379
with that. That is funny. Sorry to everybody

00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:13.259
who doesn't like the swearing. I have worked

00:06:13.259 --> 00:06:15.500
on toning it down a little bit. Significantly.

00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.699
But also, it is just a part of who I am. Especially

00:06:19.699 --> 00:06:22.560
when you get passionate about something or fired

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.029
up about something. It just happens. Or, like,

00:06:25.069 --> 00:06:26.709
you need comedic relief. Like, sometimes it's

00:06:26.709 --> 00:06:30.250
funny. Right? It's who I am. It's how I was born

00:06:30.250 --> 00:06:31.889
and raised. I'm not offending my mother because

00:06:31.889 --> 00:06:34.410
she probably has a worse body mouth than I do.

00:06:35.050 --> 00:06:38.810
So, anyway, that just made me laugh. But I think

00:06:38.810 --> 00:06:40.970
we have a few things we just want to banter about

00:06:40.970 --> 00:06:44.050
today. Yeah. I think we're just going to shoot.

00:06:44.310 --> 00:06:45.730
Here comes the screen. We're just going to shoot

00:06:45.730 --> 00:06:48.509
the shit. Yeah, Steph, you're canceled. Right?

00:06:48.550 --> 00:06:52.449
I'm kicked off the podcast. Here we go. So one

00:06:52.449 --> 00:06:54.410
of the things that we wanted to talk about was

00:06:54.410 --> 00:06:57.050
we just recently shared on Instagram that story

00:06:57.050 --> 00:07:02.329
about protein. So crazy. That's insane. So for

00:07:02.329 --> 00:07:04.329
those who didn't see our Instagram, because it

00:07:04.329 --> 00:07:09.129
was a story and it might disappear. He did a

00:07:09.129 --> 00:07:11.910
giant news article. And I'm sorry, guys, we are

00:07:11.910 --> 00:07:14.930
Canadian. And so we actually can't share news

00:07:14.930 --> 00:07:18.220
links on Instagram. It's not allowed. Yeah, there's

00:07:18.220 --> 00:07:20.300
a law that doesn't allow us, so we weren't allowed

00:07:20.300 --> 00:07:23.839
to link to it. But CBC, which is Canadian Broadcasting

00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.500
Corporation, CBC put out a big article called

00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:30.459
Lead Levels in Protein Powder Shakes Flagged

00:07:30.459 --> 00:07:33.339
by Consumer Reports. The toxic heavy metal can

00:07:33.339 --> 00:07:36.680
build up in the human body over time. So basically,

00:07:36.860 --> 00:07:38.720
this Consumer Report, an independent nonprofit

00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.699
in the U .S., tested 23 popular protein products

00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:45.660
and found lead levels ranging from 0 to 7 .7

00:07:45.660 --> 00:07:49.279
micrograms per serving, which is like way beyond

00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:55.459
what you should be consuming. It's crazy. Now,

00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:57.240
of course, they didn't list which products they

00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.360
tested. Of course not. Of course not. But they

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.279
did say they picked the most popular, so I'm

00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.579
sure we can all kind of infer which ones they

00:08:04.579 --> 00:08:08.060
are. Yeah. But this is terrifying. Now, of course,

00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:09.740
none of these products list that they have lead

00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:13.540
in them, obviously. No, they're not. Yeah. But

00:08:13.540 --> 00:08:16.120
it's cognitive. It's just talking about like

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.199
some of the things that can happen to you from

00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.540
too much or long -term exposure from lead and

00:08:22.540 --> 00:08:24.459
how it builds up in your tissues and your bones.

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:25.959
And they talk about a little bit about kids,

00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.959
but like for adults, cognitive decline, mood

00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.399
disorders, chronic kidney disease, reproductive

00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.799
effects, like. It goes on and on and on. It's

00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.980
scary. It is scary because it's not listed anywhere.

00:08:40.220 --> 00:08:42.019
I mean, I wish, obviously, because they're not

00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:43.720
going to, I wish they would list some of the

00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.039
products that they tested just so you would know.

00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:52.600
But it is pretty alarming. And I mean, like our

00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.860
program always says to try to get your protein

00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:58.240
from Whole Foods. And we do, but that's not possible

00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.159
for everybody. It's not possible all the time.

00:09:00.700 --> 00:09:05.940
So I think. this just kind of reiterates what

00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:08.799
some of the program guidelines are saying. And

00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.480
it is true. Like we should be trying to get it

00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.940
from Whole Foods as much as we can, but I'll

00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:14.279
be honest, like I make protein coffee every day

00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.700
with a protein shake. So I do too. Now, okay.

00:09:17.779 --> 00:09:19.600
One thing we should note for the Canadians, really

00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.500
sorry for my US counterparts. It did mention

00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:25.500
we have more stringent rules in Canada, but what

00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:29.419
is allowed, but it did make a note that. Some

00:09:29.419 --> 00:09:31.779
of the things they tested are 100 % available

00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:35.519
to Canadians to order online, which is concerning

00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.500
because I have ordered protein powder off of

00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:40.159
Amazon and off of some U .S. sites. I order Bilt

00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:44.460
Bars off of their website. It also said, and

00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:46.139
I think this is important to note and interesting,

00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.080
the majority that were the worst and the majority

00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:53.200
that actually came back with lead were plant

00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:57.570
based. Right. Versus like an animal. based protein.

00:09:57.789 --> 00:10:00.169
I think they said like overwhelming majority

00:10:00.169 --> 00:10:03.190
of the 23 were plant based. Yeah. It said that

00:10:03.190 --> 00:10:06.169
they did dairy, beef and plant based protein

00:10:06.169 --> 00:10:08.970
supplements such as protein powders and ready

00:10:08.970 --> 00:10:11.649
to drink. But yeah, the majority were your your

00:10:11.649 --> 00:10:15.070
vegan or plant based proteins. But still, like

00:10:15.070 --> 00:10:16.889
those were the ones that came back with the most

00:10:16.889 --> 00:10:22.269
lead is what we're saying. Those. So. Quite interesting.

00:10:22.649 --> 00:10:25.600
And so they did say. If you just had a protein

00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.399
shake or something like it wouldn't be enough.

00:10:27.500 --> 00:10:30.320
But the fear is that now, even if you're not

00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.240
bariatric, people are consuming protein daily,

00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:35.519
multiple times. Oh my gosh, yeah. And if you're

00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.200
doing it, that's just it, right? Multiple times

00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:40.480
a day and day in and day out. It's the buildup

00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:41.879
of it, right? It's not like you said, it's not

00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.240
like you're having one here and there. It's the

00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.639
constant continual buildup if it is something

00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.860
you're doing all the time. So I kind of wish,

00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:53.509
yeah, I kind of wish they would say. I did. So

00:10:53.509 --> 00:10:56.049
I did find it. Which ones it was. I did find

00:10:56.049 --> 00:10:58.809
one that said it. So unfortunately, there are

00:10:58.809 --> 00:11:01.470
some on here that I do recognize. Oh, I do. It's

00:11:01.470 --> 00:11:04.970
a little concerning. So they tested each one.

00:11:05.070 --> 00:11:09.230
They looked for arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury,

00:11:09.250 --> 00:11:12.789
aluminum. Like they basically looked for all

00:11:12.789 --> 00:11:15.470
the heavy metals. Lead being the one that was

00:11:15.470 --> 00:11:18.879
just. absurd california has a law that it has

00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.460
to be really low levels of lead 0 .5 micrograms

00:11:22.460 --> 00:11:24.440
and unfortunately they found a bunch that were

00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.019
at 7 .7 which is well beyond what a normal human

00:11:27.019 --> 00:11:31.200
is supposed to have um so over two -thirds of

00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.039
them actually had lead that was as high as 7

00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:37.259
.7 that's so scary so they basically say here

00:11:37.259 --> 00:11:41.580
do not consume naked nutrition vegan mass gainer

00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:48.809
or fuel H -U -E -L, Black Edition, Garden of

00:11:48.809 --> 00:11:54.149
Life Sport Organic Plant -Based Protein, or Momentous

00:11:54.149 --> 00:11:58.529
Plant Protein. And then the other ones, they

00:11:58.529 --> 00:12:01.250
said of the rest of these, you need to only have

00:12:01.250 --> 00:12:05.149
them two times a week, which like, uh -oh, some

00:12:05.149 --> 00:12:07.769
people are having this two times a day. Now here's

00:12:07.769 --> 00:12:09.450
the one that's concerning because we can buy

00:12:09.450 --> 00:12:12.230
it here and I see it. Okay, guys, this is where

00:12:12.230 --> 00:12:14.070
I know it's going to get a little, it's going

00:12:14.070 --> 00:12:22.990
to be sad. Optimum Nutrition, Vega, Quest Protein

00:12:22.990 --> 00:12:26.710
Shakes, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Protein

00:12:26.710 --> 00:12:30.230
Shake. I've bought their powder off Amazon. So

00:12:30.230 --> 00:12:32.990
far, I'm good. So far, I'm in the clear. Ensure

00:12:32.990 --> 00:12:37.809
Plant -Based Protein Mix, Muscle Milk. Nope.

00:12:38.190 --> 00:12:44.629
Chaos Organic, K -A -O -S Organic. The rest of

00:12:44.629 --> 00:12:46.769
them, I don't know. For the Americans, I'll just

00:12:46.769 --> 00:12:49.029
read the rest of them. Muscle Meds, Carnivore

00:12:49.029 --> 00:12:57.049
Mass, Jocko Fuel, Organe Organic, Equip Foods,

00:12:57.470 --> 00:13:02.990
Plant Fusion. um and advanced uh oh no the rest

00:13:02.990 --> 00:13:05.590
i've read so the oh own sorry the last one is

00:13:05.590 --> 00:13:08.490
own o -w -y -n i have seen that in the states

00:13:08.490 --> 00:13:10.690
when i've traveled for work i've seen their protein

00:13:10.690 --> 00:13:13.639
shakes like at the grocery stores and stuff A

00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.360
really big concern for me is I've bought Optimum

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.320
Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein Powder off

00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.860
Amazon. I literally have had their chocolate

00:13:21.860 --> 00:13:23.639
protein powder because I thought it was amazing.

00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:26.899
So I know a lot of people that buy that off Amazon.

00:13:26.980 --> 00:13:29.419
I know a ton of people that do the Quest Protein

00:13:29.419 --> 00:13:32.500
Shakes. And I know a lot of people that buy Vega.

00:13:33.220 --> 00:13:39.000
Vega is gross, I think at least, when I first

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.669
heard it. Yeah. When I first started working

00:13:41.669 --> 00:13:44.210
out and like getting more consistent years ago,

00:13:44.289 --> 00:13:47.870
I remember I drank some of the Vega shakes because

00:13:47.870 --> 00:13:50.330
I forget somebody recommended them to me. And

00:13:50.330 --> 00:13:52.389
I remember buying them and buying like a six

00:13:52.389 --> 00:13:54.590
pack and taking a couple sips of the one and

00:13:54.590 --> 00:13:56.549
just thinking, how the hell am I going to finish

00:13:56.549 --> 00:13:58.629
this damn six pack? Because it was gross. So

00:13:58.629 --> 00:14:01.450
knock on wood, I'm good on there. I use them.

00:14:01.889 --> 00:14:05.230
I don't use those. So I'm. No, I'm concerned

00:14:05.230 --> 00:14:08.090
that I did use optimum nutrition. But at least

00:14:08.090 --> 00:14:09.899
you don't use it like. You're not using it every

00:14:09.899 --> 00:14:13.220
day. You dig it. And I'm no longer having multiple

00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:15.980
protein snacks or drinks a day. In your first

00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:18.039
year, you do way more than you do now because

00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.100
I get a lot of my stuff from nutrition. And I

00:14:20.100 --> 00:14:22.580
just don't. Back when I was first out of surgery,

00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.059
I would have like a whole shake and I'd have

00:14:25.059 --> 00:14:29.039
a bar and like supplementing. But like now I

00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.600
maybe have a protein bar twice a week. I maybe

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.059
have like I do. I do use my premier protein.

00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:37.299
And so help me God. I would cry because that's

00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:41.149
what I use every day. I either use Premier Protein

00:14:41.149 --> 00:14:44.649
or sometimes because I am cheap, I will use Alani

00:14:44.649 --> 00:14:49.610
because it's cheaper. If either of those were

00:14:49.610 --> 00:14:51.649
on here, I would literally cry because that's

00:14:51.649 --> 00:14:55.330
my morning. That's like my every day. My program

00:14:55.330 --> 00:14:57.049
would shoot me if they knew I was drinking a

00:14:57.049 --> 00:14:59.009
protein coffee every day, but so be it. That's

00:14:59.009 --> 00:15:03.029
just my choice. They did make note like for like

00:15:03.029 --> 00:15:04.950
in the Canadian articles anyway, because what

00:15:04.950 --> 00:15:08.820
I'm reading is an American article. In the Canadian

00:15:08.820 --> 00:15:11.860
articles, they did say like Canada has much higher

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:14.220
protection. So anything that is manufactured

00:15:14.220 --> 00:15:19.080
for Canada has to hit a minimum threshold. It's

00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.279
more or less that if you were ordering from American

00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:25.720
websites or non -Canadian stores. So like, for

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.059
example, if you bought Vega here, it might not

00:15:29.059 --> 00:15:31.789
be the same. vega unless you ordered it off the

00:15:31.789 --> 00:15:34.250
internet they've also made a note here that vega

00:15:34.250 --> 00:15:37.009
has already changed their recipe they've changed

00:15:37.009 --> 00:15:39.830
the name of the product to vega protein and recovery

00:15:39.830 --> 00:15:43.230
and they now get their p protein from the u .s

00:15:43.230 --> 00:15:46.289
instead of china oh so they may be in the clear

00:15:46.289 --> 00:15:48.769
then at this point who knows yeah there was one

00:15:48.769 --> 00:15:51.590
so sorry paul was singing the song of his people

00:15:51.590 --> 00:15:54.509
there was one thing that was a bit concerning

00:15:54.509 --> 00:15:58.429
noted as well that said some protein even in

00:15:58.429 --> 00:16:01.710
Canada, is now changing their self to be a like

00:16:01.710 --> 00:16:04.190
holistic, what did they say it was? They were

00:16:04.190 --> 00:16:08.549
going from supplement to like a health food product

00:16:08.549 --> 00:16:11.230
or like a holistic product. Interesting. I'm

00:16:11.230 --> 00:16:12.730
probably butchering this, but basically they

00:16:12.730 --> 00:16:15.149
were changing the category they were in to get

00:16:15.149 --> 00:16:17.769
out of like a food category into another category

00:16:17.769 --> 00:16:20.690
that's not as regulated. And I was like, that's

00:16:20.690 --> 00:16:24.830
not okay. That's confusing as well. Yeah. Hmm.

00:16:25.870 --> 00:16:28.830
Sketchy. Sketchy, sketchy. I mean, there's nothing

00:16:28.830 --> 00:16:31.409
that anybody could have done. No, it is what

00:16:31.409 --> 00:16:33.309
it is at this point. But now, you know, moving

00:16:33.309 --> 00:16:36.669
forward. Yeah. And just like, I'm not knocking

00:16:36.669 --> 00:16:38.690
plant -based. Like if you're a vegan, if you're

00:16:38.690 --> 00:16:40.149
vegetarian, you need plant -based. You got to

00:16:40.149 --> 00:16:42.330
do what you got to do. But it does seem to be

00:16:42.330 --> 00:16:46.460
that a lot of the problems. So I go to, I think

00:16:46.460 --> 00:16:48.340
of dog food and I really hate to compare the

00:16:48.340 --> 00:16:51.279
two, but there's, because I have, I had a puppy

00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:53.100
and he's now like a year and a half and he's

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:55.480
sitting here looking at me. When I first adopted

00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:00.080
him, they had him on a raw, like no grain diet.

00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:02.080
And they told me like, you had to stay with a

00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.400
no grain diet. It was really good. My vet was

00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.859
then like, absolutely not. Like a no brain diet

00:17:07.859 --> 00:17:10.359
is so bad for dogs. Like there's been studies

00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:13.420
and stuff saying it's causing major heart defects

00:17:13.420 --> 00:17:16.839
in them. So he's not on a grain free diet, but

00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.900
the reasoning was a lot of these companies made

00:17:19.900 --> 00:17:21.700
their products too quickly, wanted to get in

00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:23.640
on this and sort of pumping it full of peas,

00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:27.380
peas and lentils and legumes. So that was basically,

00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:30.200
yeah, it was causing huge issues where they were

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.519
dying from heart disease younger than they should

00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:34.940
have. They've since changed their formulas, but

00:17:34.940 --> 00:17:37.769
this. just feels oddly similar where I'm seeing

00:17:37.769 --> 00:17:41.609
pea protein being the problem again. So I'm not

00:17:41.609 --> 00:17:43.349
a doctor, I'm not a scientist. I'm just saying

00:17:43.349 --> 00:17:45.589
this is now twice in my life in two completely

00:17:45.589 --> 00:17:48.329
different circumstances that pea protein has

00:17:48.329 --> 00:17:51.809
been brought up as a kind of health concern.

00:17:52.369 --> 00:17:57.609
Right. If you are vegan, if you're taking vegan

00:17:57.609 --> 00:18:00.289
or vegetarian supplements and protein, just...

00:18:00.569 --> 00:18:02.809
just be aware of this study that's out there

00:18:02.809 --> 00:18:05.690
because majority of the ones that had the highest

00:18:05.690 --> 00:18:09.049
lead were actually plant -based. So I don't know

00:18:09.049 --> 00:18:11.589
if that's from processing the vegetables and

00:18:11.589 --> 00:18:14.430
legumes or majority of plant -based is also pea

00:18:14.430 --> 00:18:17.910
-based. I don't know what the other form of vegan,

00:18:17.970 --> 00:18:21.849
but I know majority of the vegan is pea protein.

00:18:21.950 --> 00:18:24.849
And the reason I mentioned this is I'm almost

00:18:24.849 --> 00:18:27.769
certain that the Starbucks Tim Hortons rollout,

00:18:27.809 --> 00:18:31.269
one of them is using a plant -based, protein

00:18:31.269 --> 00:18:34.829
i want to say starbucks i was gonna just want

00:18:34.829 --> 00:18:37.869
to say i'm pretty sure it's starbucks pretty

00:18:37.869 --> 00:18:40.890
sure so just something to keep in mind just something

00:18:40.890 --> 00:18:43.170
to keep in mind exactly it's just another thing

00:18:43.170 --> 00:18:46.990
to to think about and like you said we we're

00:18:46.990 --> 00:18:50.599
always recommended to try and use whole foods

00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:52.079
as much as possible yeah like and when you're

00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:54.759
newer we'll say fresher out of surgery you don't

00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:56.759
have as much space to eat the whole foods you

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.599
can't have a lot of the whole foods so you do

00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:01.519
rely heavily on the protein shakes the protein

00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:05.019
powders adding protein powder to yogurt protein

00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:08.140
bars that kind of stuff and then as you continue

00:19:08.140 --> 00:19:10.200
through your recovery and you can start eating

00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:12.720
more food then you want to start relying more

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.059
on that but like I just said I have a protein

00:19:15.059 --> 00:19:18.430
coffee every day It is what it is. It works for

00:19:18.430 --> 00:19:23.269
me. I enjoy it. It's good, so I do it. I use

00:19:23.269 --> 00:19:26.069
Premier Protein as my creamer in my coffee. And

00:19:26.069 --> 00:19:27.849
yes, you're right. The further out you get, the

00:19:27.849 --> 00:19:29.970
more you're kind of getting protein from additional

00:19:29.970 --> 00:19:33.369
sources. Now, you still need to supplement. Like

00:19:33.369 --> 00:19:35.089
there are definitely still days where it's just

00:19:35.089 --> 00:19:37.549
not possible, especially because an egg has what?

00:19:37.789 --> 00:19:42.990
Oh my gosh, it drives me bananas. An egg drives

00:19:42.990 --> 00:19:48.079
me bonkers. goddamn eggs like it makes me so

00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.980
mad because I'll eat an egg and I'm just now

00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:53.420
at the point where I can pretty much eat two

00:19:53.420 --> 00:19:55.759
eggs and I remember the first day that I could

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:57.900
eat the two I was so excited and I put it in

00:19:57.900 --> 00:20:00.099
my phone and I could track it and the protein

00:20:00.099 --> 00:20:03.240
popped up and I was like I was so upset so mad

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:06.140
yeah I was so mad finally eat two eggs I'm like

00:20:06.140 --> 00:20:08.339
good solid breakfast and then I look at the protein

00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:11.160
count I was like well that's not substantial

00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.299
so but now I'm full but What am I supposed to

00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:19.240
do? There is more protein in a cup of quinoa

00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:24.059
than there is in eggs. You know what? You could

00:20:24.059 --> 00:20:27.359
have the same protein in an egg is in a quarter

00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.660
cup of almonds. Like eggs, what's going on? Okay,

00:20:30.700 --> 00:20:32.980
like come on. There's a lot of great other things,

00:20:33.059 --> 00:20:37.319
but yeah, not that. And then I got really, not

00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.619
upset, but I was big. I still am. I'm a big fan

00:20:41.619 --> 00:20:45.559
of pizza cottage cheese bowls. And it's so funny

00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.759
because I don't like cottage cheese. I'm just

00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:50.480
going to preface by saying that. I love it. People

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:54.059
who like take food and dip it in cottage cheese.

00:20:54.259 --> 00:20:56.920
Oh, no. I'm not that weird. No. Or like fruit

00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:01.059
and cottage cheese. No. No. Or like I see somebody

00:21:01.059 --> 00:21:03.359
eat a bite of cottage cheese and I want to throw

00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.230
up. However. You make me a cottage cheese pizza

00:21:07.230 --> 00:21:10.869
bowl and I will annihilate it. I love them. So

00:21:10.869 --> 00:21:13.109
they were a good staple of mine. I haven't even

00:21:13.109 --> 00:21:14.930
told you this yet. They were a good staple of

00:21:14.930 --> 00:21:19.369
mine because I liked just the flavor. I felt

00:21:19.369 --> 00:21:20.829
like I was getting pizza. They had a good amount

00:21:20.829 --> 00:21:22.890
of protein in it. It was substantial. It filled

00:21:22.890 --> 00:21:26.529
me out. They were a staple, hands down, in my

00:21:26.529 --> 00:21:29.190
week. Like I would eat them multiple times a

00:21:29.190 --> 00:21:33.809
week for lunch. And then I was saying how I was

00:21:33.809 --> 00:21:35.950
stalled out again and how my scale was going

00:21:35.950 --> 00:21:40.490
up again. And I was constantly bloated. And I

00:21:40.490 --> 00:21:42.069
couldn't figure out, this is like the past two

00:21:42.069 --> 00:21:46.289
weeks. I went, I got down to 175. And then within

00:21:46.289 --> 00:21:49.529
a week, a week and a half, I was back up to 177.

00:21:50.369 --> 00:21:52.849
And I was like, I'm working out. I'm tracking

00:21:52.849 --> 00:21:54.670
my food. I'm hitting my goals. What is happening?

00:21:54.730 --> 00:21:58.109
But noticing I was super bloated. So I looked

00:21:58.109 --> 00:21:59.650
at my nutrition. I looked at my numbers. I did

00:21:59.650 --> 00:22:03.329
some Googling. And I cut my sodium down. I was

00:22:03.329 --> 00:22:05.289
still within, so when I was tracking my food,

00:22:05.309 --> 00:22:08.289
I was still within the range of what is considered

00:22:08.289 --> 00:22:12.230
okay for sodium, which I think is 2 ,300, whatever

00:22:12.230 --> 00:22:15.950
the number of milligrams, whatever the measurement

00:22:15.950 --> 00:22:19.690
is. But then I kept reading and it said, yes,

00:22:19.769 --> 00:22:23.670
2 ,300 is within like the range of what you can

00:22:23.670 --> 00:22:27.029
have a day or what's recommended. But the ideal

00:22:27.029 --> 00:22:30.630
recommended range for sodium is 1 ,500. Yes.

00:22:30.710 --> 00:22:34.970
So I cut my sodium down to 1 ,500 in my tracking,

00:22:35.029 --> 00:22:38.970
and I, three days, went and checked and made

00:22:38.970 --> 00:22:42.750
sure I stayed either 1 ,500 or lower. In three

00:22:42.750 --> 00:22:50.509
days, the scale went from 177 .4 to 173 .6. Water

00:22:50.509 --> 00:22:55.049
retention and, yeah, man. So the shitty part

00:22:55.049 --> 00:23:01.599
is, though, cottage cheese, high in sodium. Oh,

00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:06.160
which I didn't think like, like I'm I have high

00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:09.380
blood pressure. It runs in my family. And I've

00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:11.640
been able to like it has I've been able to come

00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:13.440
off my medication since having surgery because

00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:16.640
we've gotten it to be. However, it's probably

00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:19.339
something that will come back because it. It's

00:23:19.339 --> 00:23:22.980
genetic at this point. So I try my best to be

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:25.960
like low sodium or no sodium broth. Yeah. No

00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:28.019
salt seasoning, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:31.140
Now I do add it in here and there because I will

00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:32.880
have to do a whole episode on this because I

00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:35.259
need to do like a whole welcome to the math of

00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:38.779
running. Because if I'm running, I need to increase

00:23:38.779 --> 00:23:41.559
my sodium to a certain level because if not,

00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:44.730
so like it's a whole. balancing act and i'm glad

00:23:44.730 --> 00:23:46.849
you're measuring it because even if you don't

00:23:46.849 --> 00:23:49.329
have high blood pressure you guys need to know

00:23:49.329 --> 00:23:51.670
how much sodium you're burning through especially

00:23:51.670 --> 00:23:54.210
if you're exercising right cottage cheese is

00:23:54.210 --> 00:23:58.710
high in sodium a third a third of a cup of one

00:23:58.710 --> 00:24:01.349
percent oh there goes my dog a third of a cup

00:24:01.349 --> 00:24:04.829
of one percent cottage cheese is 180 milligrams

00:24:04.829 --> 00:24:09.490
of sodium yeah it says it says a half a cup is

00:24:09.490 --> 00:24:13.740
is 290 so yeah okay Which, when you're at 1 ,500

00:24:13.740 --> 00:24:17.460
a day, that's when I'm, so I went through, like,

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:19.980
all of my nutrition tracking. And when I looked

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:22.200
at, like, what's the biggest culprit across the

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:24.339
board of my sodium, cottage cheese was at the

00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:28.279
top every single time. Every time. The hard thing

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:29.759
is, like, you're not going to be able to, like,

00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:33.559
I remember chicken breasts being high. And there

00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:35.599
was nothing I could do about it, though. No,

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:39.019
there's certainly things that you're just going

00:24:39.019 --> 00:24:41.279
to, you're just going to have, like, um. Like

00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.500
even my, so Alani and Premier Protein, they've

00:24:45.500 --> 00:24:49.740
got about 240. So it just becomes where, yeah,

00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:52.259
where do you want to spend your sodium, right?

00:24:52.339 --> 00:24:53.779
And so for me, like we've talked about this before,

00:24:53.819 --> 00:24:56.740
I will make my protein coffee and I will make

00:24:56.740 --> 00:24:59.140
it in my big 32 ounce Stanley and that will take

00:24:59.140 --> 00:25:02.240
me all morning to drink. So that I'm like, okay,

00:25:02.299 --> 00:25:05.539
that's a decent amount of sodium, but it's throughout

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:08.579
the morning versus looking at one little snack.

00:25:09.420 --> 00:25:13.119
that's high in sodium and saying is it is it

00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:15.859
I guess it makes sense that it is high in sodium

00:25:15.859 --> 00:25:19.279
because it's literally cheese and like feta cheese

00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:23.339
is super high in sodium um I don't you need cheat

00:25:23.339 --> 00:25:27.200
like you need salt to make cheese so I guess

00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:30.759
that that is dang I wonder if anybody makes a

00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.940
no salt added cottage cheese I'm gonna look next

00:25:33.940 --> 00:25:35.680
time I go to the store and just because now I'm

00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:37.660
being more cognizant of it now that I'm noticing

00:25:37.660 --> 00:25:41.269
it clearly has a huge impact on my body. Um,

00:25:41.650 --> 00:25:44.210
but like two, so I said to Devin, I'm sorry,

00:25:44.269 --> 00:25:45.890
but there's certain things I'm not giving up.

00:25:45.910 --> 00:25:48.910
Like my protein coffee, I will sacrifice that

00:25:48.910 --> 00:25:51.410
chunk of my daily sodium for that. So be it.

00:25:51.670 --> 00:25:55.289
Um, baby bell, not horrible, but like two baby

00:25:55.289 --> 00:25:58.829
bell is 280 milligrams of sodium. So almost similar

00:25:58.829 --> 00:26:02.109
to the protein shake. So, I mean, it just, it

00:26:02.109 --> 00:26:04.190
really becomes, it's like, it's like budgeting,

00:26:04.269 --> 00:26:05.950
right? You have X money. What are you going to

00:26:05.950 --> 00:26:08.750
spend it on? So I'm being, definitely being more

00:26:08.750 --> 00:26:10.950
cognizant of my sodium now that I've noticed

00:26:10.950 --> 00:26:14.569
how big of an impact it has. But yeah, I was

00:26:14.569 --> 00:26:16.710
a little bit bummed that cottage cheese was the

00:26:16.710 --> 00:26:19.829
biggest culprit in most of my days as being my

00:26:19.829 --> 00:26:24.430
highest sodium. Yeah. And I mean, it's not an

00:26:24.430 --> 00:26:27.410
astronomical amount, but it, but it adds up,

00:26:27.410 --> 00:26:29.880
right? When like there's a lot. When we're eating

00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:34.220
six times a day and everything has sodium, it's

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:35.900
definitely, it's something that I wasn't paying

00:26:35.900 --> 00:26:37.440
attention. I was paying attention to it in the

00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:40.900
sense that I had the 2300 programmed in there.

00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:43.559
I was making sure I wasn't going over that. But

00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:47.259
I wasn't being overly cautious about it. But

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:50.299
now that I've seen how big of an impact there's

00:26:50.299 --> 00:26:55.119
been by decreasing it just by that 800, it's,

00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:56.660
I said to Devin, it's something that I think

00:26:56.660 --> 00:27:00.079
I need to be. more cognizant about moving forward

00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.559
for sure especially as we get older like heart

00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:05.099
health and all that like it is it is good to

00:27:05.099 --> 00:27:07.059
be aware of how much sodium goes in your body

00:27:07.059 --> 00:27:10.140
apparently and I'm not trying to get your hopes

00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:14.619
up apparently Sobe sells a no salt added cottage

00:27:14.619 --> 00:27:17.940
cheese okay good to know are you going to be

00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:21.160
able to find it probably not probably not apparently

00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:25.359
I will look I will look oh this is a whole thing

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:28.500
So there's a whole subreddit called Low Sodium.

00:27:28.579 --> 00:27:30.480
Oh, there you go. And people are asking about

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:34.079
cottage cheese. And in America, there's like

00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:37.119
a million options for this. Of course. Why wouldn't

00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:40.259
you? Not here. Dang. Also, apparently the pressed

00:27:40.259 --> 00:27:42.859
cottage cheese has way less sodium as well. So

00:27:42.859 --> 00:27:45.579
I think I want to go to Costco and get some of

00:27:45.579 --> 00:27:47.359
that pressed cottage cheese and give that a try

00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:49.319
instead of feta because I've become a bit addicted

00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:51.660
to feta in my eggs in the morning. And I think

00:27:51.660 --> 00:27:54.859
I need to swap it out for that. Also, to our

00:27:54.859 --> 00:27:57.259
U .S. listeners, good culture apparently has

00:27:57.259 --> 00:28:01.000
the lowest sodium content. So there you go for

00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:02.940
our American listeners. Good culture, which I've

00:28:02.940 --> 00:28:04.680
heard is like the best cottage cheese. I've heard,

00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:05.799
too, where people are like, they didn't have

00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:08.259
good culture, so I didn't buy any when they go

00:28:08.259 --> 00:28:09.500
for cottage cheese. I was like, is it really

00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:14.359
that good? But I don't like nearly. I want to

00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:16.900
go to the States. I'm getting that itch to like

00:28:16.900 --> 00:28:20.220
go shopping. I'm not going to go. Right. I'm

00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:22.599
right there with you. I've really been searching.

00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.079
certain things I'm not gonna lie Trader Joe's

00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:27.980
just put out some new bags that I really want

00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:30.319
and I did message my mom and I was like oh no

00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.359
I really miss it my mom's like I don't and we're

00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:37.240
not going so get over it I was like oh okay I

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.000
really miss my light and fit yogurt I really

00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:42.799
do my boss asked if I wanted to go to Atlanta

00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:49.410
next month and I was like oh There's a conference.

00:28:49.509 --> 00:28:51.170
She's not just like, do you want to go to Atlanta

00:28:51.170 --> 00:28:53.609
for fun? There's an actual reason. But, you know,

00:28:53.630 --> 00:28:56.269
would I go shopping there? Okay, but to bring

00:28:56.269 --> 00:28:58.150
it back to the protein conversation, yeah, eggs

00:28:58.150 --> 00:29:01.309
are low. But with that being said. Egg whites

00:29:01.309 --> 00:29:03.829
are good. I think there's other things that we

00:29:03.829 --> 00:29:06.549
often always forget are really good that I just

00:29:06.549 --> 00:29:09.710
want to highlight. Like three ounces, which is

00:29:09.710 --> 00:29:11.630
what most of you will get to by the end of your

00:29:11.630 --> 00:29:13.829
first year. Three ounce serving of meat. But

00:29:13.829 --> 00:29:18.549
three ounces of chicken. breast is 26 .9 grams

00:29:18.549 --> 00:29:22.529
chicken is like always my go -to i just cooked

00:29:22.529 --> 00:29:25.369
it last night turkey's good turkey's almost like

00:29:25.369 --> 00:29:29.190
identical 25 almost identical now duck i don't

00:29:29.190 --> 00:29:30.769
eat duck because it's kind of fat i just don't

00:29:30.769 --> 00:29:33.609
like the taste of it but duck is 25 as well um

00:29:35.369 --> 00:29:38.289
almost hot they're higher than beef so i know

00:29:38.289 --> 00:29:40.049
that there's this big like you either like beef

00:29:40.049 --> 00:29:42.630
or you hate beef you want to avoid uh red meat

00:29:42.630 --> 00:29:44.549
or not but like just so you know red meat is

00:29:44.549 --> 00:29:47.470
not higher in protein at all compared to chicken

00:29:47.470 --> 00:29:50.329
and the calories are much higher in red meat

00:29:50.329 --> 00:29:54.210
than in poultry i'm a chicken girl me too now

00:29:54.210 --> 00:29:57.410
i am also a fish person and like shrimp shrimp

00:29:57.410 --> 00:30:01.670
shrimp are my go -to because one ounce one ounce

00:30:01.670 --> 00:30:04.289
of shrimp is 20 grams of protein which is amazing

00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:07.299
It's amazing. Like I, I'll eat them with dip.

00:30:07.380 --> 00:30:09.200
I'll make whatever I want to make with that.

00:30:09.220 --> 00:30:12.640
Like I love them. And then like salmon is obviously

00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:15.640
the next highest. Salmon and tuna are both 22.

00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.619
It's awesome. The other thing too, that I did

00:30:18.619 --> 00:30:20.599
a story about this a while ago and I haven't,

00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:23.880
I should do another one. But getting hung up

00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:27.430
on breakfast food. I have recently, not recently,

00:30:27.470 --> 00:30:29.369
but in the last little while, because I was never

00:30:29.369 --> 00:30:31.490
a breakfast eater, but now I've had to become

00:30:31.490 --> 00:30:34.569
somebody who eats breakfast. And I was getting

00:30:34.569 --> 00:30:39.170
so frustrated with the egg thing that you don't

00:30:39.170 --> 00:30:42.769
have to eat. Just because it's considered a breakfast

00:30:42.769 --> 00:30:44.410
food doesn't mean you have to eat it at breakfast.

00:30:44.490 --> 00:30:46.170
And just because it's typically considered a

00:30:46.170 --> 00:30:48.230
lunch or dinner food doesn't mean you can't eat

00:30:48.230 --> 00:30:50.650
it at breakfast either. So I think we get so

00:30:50.650 --> 00:30:53.470
stuck in this breakfast has to be eggs or a shake.

00:30:53.869 --> 00:30:56.930
or toast or cereal or whatever, eat whatever

00:30:56.930 --> 00:30:59.789
you want for breakfast. I, a lot of the time,

00:30:59.809 --> 00:31:01.509
like my kids will laugh at me because I will

00:31:01.509 --> 00:31:04.670
have leftovers from dinner for breakfast. Like

00:31:04.670 --> 00:31:07.069
I'll have chicken and veggies or whatever my

00:31:07.069 --> 00:31:10.190
dinner was for breakfast because I don't feel

00:31:10.190 --> 00:31:12.829
like, number one, I don't feel like eating typical

00:31:12.829 --> 00:31:15.230
breakfast. I get frustrated with the lack of

00:31:15.230 --> 00:31:18.789
protein in the eggs that I can have for the ratio

00:31:18.789 --> 00:31:23.559
of amount per protein. So I'll eat. A dinner

00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:25.839
food for breakfast. It doesn't have to be your

00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:28.000
typical standard breakfast food. Eat whatever

00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:31.920
you want at that time of day is how I'm looking

00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:33.640
at it. Like I literally yesterday for breakfast

00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.980
had ground chicken and roasted cauliflower. Yeah,

00:31:38.019 --> 00:31:39.779
I think getting over the hang up of breakfast

00:31:39.779 --> 00:31:42.019
food needs to be breakfast food was like big.

00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:44.279
And I know people are going to be like, OK, it

00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:46.059
was a big revelation. It was a huge revelation.

00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:50.359
Me too. I love my ground turkey like freezer

00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:54.230
meals that I've made. like I just I'll dump that

00:31:54.230 --> 00:31:58.089
out cube up some um sweet potatoes to make like

00:31:58.089 --> 00:32:01.089
a little like hash brown fries thing yeah and

00:32:01.089 --> 00:32:02.849
I'll just put it on top of that and I'll eat

00:32:02.849 --> 00:32:05.210
that and I'm like great because I need like I'm

00:32:05.210 --> 00:32:07.190
working on introducing more carbs into my diet

00:32:07.190 --> 00:32:09.589
and so I do it that way but it changed the game.

00:32:09.670 --> 00:32:11.609
Like I don't need eggs. I don't need a breakfast

00:32:11.609 --> 00:32:14.230
sandwich. I don't need, like I can literally

00:32:14.230 --> 00:32:16.210
have whatever I want. I probably won't be having

00:32:16.210 --> 00:32:19.670
shrimp for breakfast. I mean, if you want to

00:32:19.670 --> 00:32:23.529
go, go for it, but it just helps that much better.

00:32:23.630 --> 00:32:25.890
And I think that was part of my, like, to me,

00:32:25.930 --> 00:32:27.990
those items were always breakfast and I didn't

00:32:27.990 --> 00:32:29.349
feel like eating that in the morning. So I just

00:32:29.349 --> 00:32:31.809
didn't eat breakfast. Well, who says you can't

00:32:31.809 --> 00:32:35.549
have chicken and cauliflower? For breakfast.

00:32:35.750 --> 00:32:38.250
Nobody says you can't. You just think that you

00:32:38.250 --> 00:32:42.529
can't. I felt so great after I had my chicken

00:32:42.529 --> 00:32:44.269
and roasted cauliflower. Number one, it was delicious.

00:32:44.589 --> 00:32:47.329
Number two, then I felt full. I had a good amount

00:32:47.329 --> 00:32:50.730
of protein in me. I was satiated. And I thought

00:32:50.730 --> 00:32:53.289
to myself, why haven't I done this before? So

00:32:53.289 --> 00:32:56.190
yeah, like Greek yogurt. I think I need to get

00:32:56.190 --> 00:32:58.509
back in that habit. I don't know why in my mind

00:32:58.509 --> 00:33:01.549
I was like, eggs are better. So a cup of Greek

00:33:01.549 --> 00:33:04.029
yogurt is 23 grams of protein and that's normal.

00:33:04.700 --> 00:33:06.839
Like that's not even the high protein stuff we

00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:12.039
buy. And then the vector protein cereal is amazing.

00:33:12.500 --> 00:33:15.640
I bought that to try and my kids ate two boxes

00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:18.279
of it before I even got into it. It tastes like,

00:33:18.299 --> 00:33:21.299
what is that cereal with the little pirate guy

00:33:21.299 --> 00:33:24.440
on it? Captain Crunch? It's the same texture

00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:26.500
as Captain Crunch. I bought maple and peanut

00:33:26.500 --> 00:33:29.940
butter and I literally had one piece of each

00:33:29.940 --> 00:33:32.799
box. And then I let it sit because I had other

00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:34.900
stuff I needed to eat through first. And then

00:33:34.900 --> 00:33:37.000
I went to have some the other day and both boxes

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:41.279
were gone. This is so good. I've only had peanut

00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:43.559
butter and I'm not even like that big of a peanut

00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:45.920
butter cereal fan. Obsessed with it. How's maple?

00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:50.359
It's really good. The bite that I got was really

00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:52.839
good. My kids said it was delicious. But yeah,

00:33:52.859 --> 00:33:57.380
I do the Oikos high protein. And then I put,

00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:00.460
if I get vanilla, just because we know I have

00:34:00.460 --> 00:34:02.680
such a sweet tooth. Oh, I always get a flavored

00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:04.670
one too. I always get a flavored one, but if

00:34:04.670 --> 00:34:07.349
I have vanilla, I add a little drizzle of honey

00:34:07.349 --> 00:34:11.510
on top and then I put blueberries and or raspberries

00:34:11.510 --> 00:34:14.090
on top. And that is like a great breakfast for

00:34:14.090 --> 00:34:16.590
me. Yeah, I'm doing banana and blueberries, a

00:34:16.590 --> 00:34:18.909
little bit of the protein cereal because I'm

00:34:18.909 --> 00:34:20.570
not going to be able to have a full cup of yogurt.

00:34:20.710 --> 00:34:23.289
So I try to get a cup as my full serving with

00:34:23.289 --> 00:34:25.090
a half a cup of yogurt and then adding the other

00:34:25.090 --> 00:34:28.429
toppings. And then I found maple sugar, which

00:34:28.429 --> 00:34:31.210
is basically syrup that they turned into sugar.

00:34:32.110 --> 00:34:34.630
little bit easier for me to like portion control

00:34:34.630 --> 00:34:39.369
it that way I love to die for maple anything

00:34:39.369 --> 00:34:42.210
like I'm sold as soon as I'm like yeah I'm good

00:34:42.210 --> 00:34:45.289
I'm in um A hundred percent. There's this brand

00:34:45.289 --> 00:34:47.750
I buy. I'll share this on Instagram called Beck's

00:34:47.750 --> 00:34:50.570
Bone Broth Hot Chocolate. And I get it on well

00:34:50.570 --> 00:34:53.170
.ca. And that's how they make their mint hot

00:34:53.170 --> 00:34:55.949
chocolate. It's beef protein powder. Bear with

00:34:55.949 --> 00:34:58.690
me, guys. Cacao powder and then maple sugar.

00:34:58.989 --> 00:35:01.650
This is the most decadently rich hot chocolate.

00:35:01.750 --> 00:35:04.449
It's very low in sugar. It's got 15 grams of

00:35:04.449 --> 00:35:07.949
protein. It's like super to die for. And that's

00:35:07.949 --> 00:35:09.670
how I found out about maple sugar. And I was

00:35:09.670 --> 00:35:11.800
like, wow, I'm going to get this. Bone broth

00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:13.760
is another one people forget about. It's so easy

00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:16.380
to heat up a cup of bone broth and sip it like

00:35:16.380 --> 00:35:20.059
a tea. Yes. 15 grams of protein, depending on

00:35:20.059 --> 00:35:22.219
your bone broth. Typically, I buy like the individual

00:35:22.219 --> 00:35:25.119
packets off Amazon because bone broth can be

00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:27.800
really expensive. I forget what the brand is

00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:29.719
of mine, but I buy it in the individual packets

00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:31.519
on Amazon. It's not too bad. I think it's like

00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:34.760
$8 .99 a box. And I don't drink it all the time,

00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:38.380
but I find if my restriction is high or if I

00:35:38.380 --> 00:35:41.119
just have a morning where I just really am not

00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:43.139
hungry for whatever reason or I just really am

00:35:43.139 --> 00:35:46.440
feeling off or not with it, I'll have that in

00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:48.900
the morning. Is it the box with the chicken on

00:35:48.900 --> 00:35:52.699
it? Yes. Okay. I buy theirs too. I can't think

00:35:52.699 --> 00:35:55.880
of the brand name, but I get their Thai lemongrass

00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:58.980
flavor. I get the lemongrass one and the ginger

00:35:58.980 --> 00:36:04.059
and then the plain. The plain one. But that's

00:36:04.059 --> 00:36:05.719
another really good thing to have like on hand

00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:08.239
in the pantry for days when you just want something

00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:09.820
quick or you just don't feel like it. That's

00:36:09.820 --> 00:36:13.679
a really easy. And I love that brand. Yeah, that's

00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:17.300
a good one. Okay. So yeah, this was a good conversation

00:36:17.300 --> 00:36:19.559
about like alternative protein sources and our

00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:21.519
problem with that article that scared the poop

00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:23.679
out of us. But I think we found some good things

00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:25.500
that we could have that aren't protein powder.

00:36:26.219 --> 00:36:30.760
Next episode. I think I'll talk about good food

00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:35.199
because our favorite podcast guest, she got to

00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.119
try out some make good food recently. And so

00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:40.539
we decided or I decided to give it a try as well

00:36:40.539 --> 00:36:43.250
and see if it's. better since when I first used

00:36:43.250 --> 00:36:46.869
it and what it's looking like now. So I'm excited

00:36:46.869 --> 00:36:48.829
to kind of tell you guys what that's like for

00:36:48.829 --> 00:36:50.570
our American friends. It's kind of like Blue

00:36:50.570 --> 00:36:54.050
Apron, but it's called Make Good Food. And I

00:36:54.050 --> 00:36:56.590
did give it a try. So on our next episode, I

00:36:56.590 --> 00:36:59.030
will briefly let you guys know what I thought

00:36:59.030 --> 00:37:02.130
about the meals. Spoiler, a little early spoiler.

00:37:03.030 --> 00:37:05.510
Pretty impressed that some of them are under

00:37:05.510 --> 00:37:09.230
400 calories a serving, which is amazing. Kind

00:37:09.230 --> 00:37:12.860
of shocked by that. I was. I was not expecting

00:37:12.860 --> 00:37:15.119
that at all when you guys were looking at the

00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:17.260
macros. They're high protein. They're low -cal.

00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:20.300
And the serving sizes are definitely big, so

00:37:20.300 --> 00:37:22.519
you won't even be eating the full serving size,

00:37:22.619 --> 00:37:26.179
which is awesome. Yeah. I'll keep you guys updated

00:37:26.179 --> 00:37:30.559
next episode. For sure. Cool. Well, like always,

00:37:30.659 --> 00:37:32.559
Steph, thanks for joining me on this episode

00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:35.400
where we actually put the banter back into the

00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:38.519
Bariatric Banter Podcast. And some swearing,

00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:43.230
too. Which isn't tacky. Right? We're still respectable

00:37:43.230 --> 00:37:46.889
women, okay? We're still classy -ass women, all

00:37:46.889 --> 00:37:51.739
right? I love it so much. Keep telling us what

00:37:51.739 --> 00:37:53.659
you want to hear us cover. Test, try. We had

00:37:53.659 --> 00:37:55.960
a ton of positive feedback, actually, that you

00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:59.199
guys would love to see us try stuff and like

00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:02.880
test different types of products, test food,

00:38:02.980 --> 00:38:05.519
test recipes. So we're actually working through

00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:07.099
what that would look like and we plan to get

00:38:07.099 --> 00:38:09.500
that started soon. But keep recommending like

00:38:09.500 --> 00:38:11.940
what products you want us to test, what foods

00:38:11.940 --> 00:38:14.780
and recipes you want us to give a try, what you

00:38:14.780 --> 00:38:17.400
want us to kind of rate and review. So we'll...

00:38:17.929 --> 00:38:20.010
We'll take a bullet for the team and try the

00:38:20.010 --> 00:38:22.510
Starbucks stuff if you guys want us to. But the

00:38:22.510 --> 00:38:24.730
reception has been exceptional that you guys

00:38:24.730 --> 00:38:27.409
would love to see us start testing things. So

00:38:27.409 --> 00:38:29.469
let us know what you would like because we'd

00:38:29.469 --> 00:38:31.690
love to do that for the podcast and maybe have

00:38:31.690 --> 00:38:33.510
a little section each podcast where we review

00:38:33.510 --> 00:38:35.869
something that we went out and tried for all

00:38:35.869 --> 00:38:38.849
of you and give our honest opinion on if it tastes

00:38:38.849 --> 00:38:40.730
good, if it's worth it, and if the macros are

00:38:40.730 --> 00:38:45.010
working. Love it. I'm down. I can't wait. Okay,

00:38:45.070 --> 00:38:47.800
let's do it. Thanks for joining me, Steph. Like

00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:49.960
always, it's just a pleasure to chat with you.

00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:52.500
You too. Thanks, guys. Thanks, everybody, for

00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:54.679
listening. We'll see you in two weeks. See you.

00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:56.340
Bye. Bye.
