Nutrition Advice From 1918
Welcome to the one day at a time podcast where we forget about yesterday. We don't worry about tomorrow. It's what are we going to do today? This all matters because you've only ever had or will ever have the fantastic twenty four hours a day you're about to embark on. So hopefully this episode is going to give you some daily dose of wisdom that you can take action on today to improve your life.
Speaker 1:And remember, all it takes is one day at a time. Hello, hello, hello. I just did a podcast for, it's called Royalty by Carla. So she's in The US, she's a Canadian, but she's one of the Live Like Louise members over in LA right now and we chatted about the Welsh perspective of the royal family. So that's coming on Tuesday.
Speaker 1:I know you are dying to listen to it. I know you want to hear the Welsh perspective on the royal family and no hold no nothing held nothing held back yeah have a listen but I think what really what really like came out of it for me realizing as well is like honestly it depends where you were born and what you were like the education system you were brought up to what you know. Do I mean like you look you go to England you learn about the English and all the positives of that, you go to Canada you've got better education, go to America you learn nothing about the world just America It's like you only learn one side and your family will follow the same political party and you'll follow the same political party. Basically just secondhand people like you're just like scrolling through life, school tells you this, your parents tell you that, done. And that's you for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1:And the main thing you've got to do is is to be able to have two opposing ideas in your mind at the same time without imploding. It's vital. So Arusa mentioned in a group yesterday about the vegan documentary, The Game Changers. And you know, it's basically vegan propaganda, like it's so biased that it just shouldn't have been on as a documentary. If they had been more balanced, it would have been a much better documentary.
Speaker 1:Like, when it comes to health and fitness, there is no one diet that's like the best one right and obviously for ethical reasons, yes, we should go more plant based but humans have eaten animals since the dawn of homo sapiens like homo sapiens before we became intelligent and worked together and took over the planet were just eating carcasses of dead animals after other bigger predators were finished with them Because animal proteins are better and easily absorbed versus plant proteins. Plant proteins are much harder to digest, you know the absorption rate is near half in some cases like you know at least a thirty-forty percent reduction like the utilising of the protein. So you know plant proteins aren't as complete as animals but we should definitely be able to like plan the future ahead and how we can be more sustainable and stuff. So having those two ideas in your mind makes the decisions going forward better. Alright, okay so animal proteins are better in terms of their profile.
Speaker 1:Accepting that makes you realize what's missing from plant proteins because if you just said to me, no, no plant proteins exactly the same don't be stupid plant proteins are actually better like they're just better than animals because the bias and this like that's coming on, You then know opening up to the actual downsides of a vegan diet where there are deficiencies and then without addressing the deficiencies you're not going to get people who a lot of people who are iron deficient have problems in the b12 and everything like that. It can be dangerous not addressing those. So that's definitely a huge lesson is to be able to have two sides in your mind at the same time. 100%. Anyway, I'm reading a book right now and it's 100 years old.
Speaker 1:And it's the first book about calorie counting that came out by this woman from Los Angeles. She dedicated it to Herbert Hoover who was the President of The United States at the time I believe or like obviously high ranking individual. Anyway, the book is absolutely savage like I'm not going to repeat much what's in the book but here's the gist of it. What we tell you right now is exactly what this book tells you. It's telling you that you shouldn't cut out the food you love.
Speaker 1:It literally says it in this book one hundred years ago that you should realize the risk for calories, should exercise more. It says also that in terms of calories, it's as simple as just being in a deficit which is a hundred years ago mind, hundred years ago. There is a funny part in it where it says, this is like a conversation like I don't even know if I should be saying it's not me saying this guys so coming from me but is this so direct the book was. But doctor what's the use of dieting? I only get fatter after I stop.
Speaker 1:Then this is in brackets answering delicate like for I'm fond of her and she's sensitive. So she's realizing this person's sensitive. She says you fat, you make me fatigued, you never diet long enough to get out of the fireless cooker class, if you did you wouldn't. Is there anyone else who would like to be recognized? No, It is well, I will probably answer more as I go along from there is nothing that I don't know or haven't studied or tried and reduced in line.
Speaker 1:I know everything you have to contend with. How you no sooner congratulate yourself on your willpower after you've dragged yourself by the window with an exposure of luscious fat chocolates with curlicues on their tummies than another time into the view and you will have it all go through with again and how you finally succumb. I hope sometime it will be a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment to display candy as shamelessly as it is done. Many fond parents think that candy causes worms, it doesn't of course unless it's contaminated with worms. But personally I wish every time I ate chocolate I would get a worm and then I would escape them, the chocolates I mean.
Speaker 1:I know how you go down to destruction for peanuts with their awful fat content. It is terrible the liver of peanuts has for me. Do you suppose Mr. Darwin could explain that? Perhaps I was a little too delicate like in my answer with Mr.
Speaker 1:Cobbler's question. What's the use of dieting? She only gets fatter after she stops. So many ask me that question with a further pathetic addition, will they always have to keep her up? And it ever irritates me.
Speaker 1:The answer is yes, you will always have to keep up dieting just as you will always have to keep up other things in life that make it worth living, being neat, being kind, being tender, reading, studying and loving. You will not have to be nearly so strenuous after you get to normal, but you might as well recognize now and accept it as a fact that neither you nor anybody else will be able to eat beyond your needs without accumulating fat or disease or both. Okay. So big ramble there. She showed some of her personality through like pathetic addition stuff like that being really direct and what she means by dieting.
Speaker 1:So dieting back here didn't mean the restriction of foods only, it meant, being more active, living a healthier lifestyle. So like if you were dieting one hundred years ago, you were basically moving more, doing exercise, you were maybe looking after your nutrition more. So it wasn't so much the negative connotation we got within now. But she's bang on, you know mean? It's bang on.
Speaker 1:Like, do you have to keep up with that lifestyle for life? Yeah. Yeah. You do. Like, you have to build habits to last your life.
Speaker 1:Like when I spoke about the other week when I called in Latin, Habito means to live, I live. So you're not just gonna do this and then stop. And if you think if that's what you're doing, it's gonna be a failure. So even one hundred years ago, they recognized, look, if you're gonna even bother going down the route of changing your body composition and getting healthier, you might as well basically go slower. And you might as well only do it if you want to do this as a lifestyle change.
Speaker 1:Because if you don't do it as a lifestyle change, it's not going to be something long term. Right? And that's just the problem. Right? So there's a lot more gold in this book that I'll share and in the turtle times coming soon.
Speaker 1:But let's leave it at that. Like are you building habits? Are you building habits right now that you were planning to do for life and not just for Christmas basically? You want to do something for life. So please do, recognize the importance.
Speaker 1:It has been there in a hundred years ago. It's been there through the last the century and, you know, it's been staring us in the face of life. Good habits, good life, happy days. But yeah what's your one big thing today? Let me know in the comments below and let me know what you think about the royal family.
Speaker 1:Do you think we should abolish the royal family? Yes or no? Interesting to know. But speak to you soon guys have a good one and remember one day at a time It is Thursday today, so like any other day, it's got twenty four hours. That's it.
Speaker 1:See you in the book club tonight, which is a quiz. So get ready. Get your quiz hat on, and, there is a prize for the protein powder from our new range for you if you win the quiz. It's gonna be general knowledge fun. Gonna make it light hearted.
Speaker 1:I'm not gonna try and hurt your brain so much, but there may or may not be questions about the royal family, maybe Wales, and what else? What other hint can I give? And Freddie Mercury. So see you in a bit. And that's it.
