1
00:00:06,241 --> 00:00:09,183
Chanel here. Welcome to menopause nutrition.

2
00:00:09,914 --> 00:00:13,195
I believe women can thrive in menopause and

3
00:00:13,195 --> 00:00:15,994
had the body composition of their choice if

4
00:00:15,994 --> 00:00:18,314
they must have their nutrition and lifestyle.

5
00:00:18,968 --> 00:00:21,120
Today, we're going to talk a little bit

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:21,758
about cooking,

7
00:00:22,316 --> 00:00:24,627
and I'm gonna give you some backstory, but

8
00:00:24,627 --> 00:00:26,562
also, I want to share

9
00:00:27,114 --> 00:00:30,223
like, a few things, a few realizations I

10
00:00:30,223 --> 00:00:31,818
have learnt and I'm learning,

11
00:00:32,695 --> 00:00:35,645
over my journey of coaching women and helping

12
00:00:35,645 --> 00:00:37,094
them on their journeys,

13
00:00:38,130 --> 00:00:41,658
and we're going to investigate and chat about

14
00:00:42,433 --> 00:00:42,933
the

15
00:00:43,469 --> 00:00:45,722
ups and downs if you like of

16
00:00:46,034 --> 00:00:47,155
cooking food.

17
00:00:48,354 --> 00:00:49,174
I personally

18
00:00:49,795 --> 00:00:51,795
have come from a background where I was

19
00:00:51,795 --> 00:00:54,287
encouraged to cook from an early age. But

20
00:00:54,287 --> 00:00:56,521
before we get started, I just wanna remind

21
00:00:56,521 --> 00:00:59,392
you that my Thrive program kicked up on

22
00:00:59,552 --> 00:01:02,423
Monday, I'm so excited We have this amazing

23
00:01:02,423 --> 00:01:03,594
group performance who

24
00:01:04,032 --> 00:01:05,169
so motivated

25
00:01:05,544 --> 00:01:08,489
and excited and they are off with a

26
00:01:08,489 --> 00:01:09,205
great start.

27
00:01:09,842 --> 00:01:11,116
So if you miss the boat,

28
00:01:11,926 --> 00:01:13,437
I will run this program. I only run

29
00:01:13,437 --> 00:01:15,426
it 3 times a year, so the next

30
00:01:15,426 --> 00:01:18,344
round will be later in the airline. So

31
00:01:18,623 --> 00:01:20,933
September, but the wait is up for it.

32
00:01:21,252 --> 00:01:23,345
So you can join the waitlist list and

33
00:01:23,801 --> 00:01:25,734
be up to date with everything,

34
00:01:26,429 --> 00:01:28,592
so you don't miss. The next round. You

35
00:01:28,592 --> 00:01:30,579
don't miss the boat. So I will pop

36
00:01:30,579 --> 00:01:32,987
the link here so you can grab it

37
00:01:33,043 --> 00:01:33,543
afterwards,

38
00:01:34,235 --> 00:01:34,735
and

39
00:01:35,841 --> 00:01:36,637
stay up to date.

40
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:38,967
Okay. So

41
00:01:39,342 --> 00:01:43,002
so what I have experienced in my journey

42
00:01:43,002 --> 00:01:44,378
of helping other women

43
00:01:44,689 --> 00:01:47,083
is that cooking can actually be a thing.

44
00:01:47,722 --> 00:01:50,595
So I personally love to cook. It's kind

45
00:01:50,595 --> 00:01:53,560
of like therapy for me. And I have

46
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,389
to credit some of this to my father.

47
00:01:55,787 --> 00:01:58,752
So at at a young age, he encouraged

48
00:01:58,809 --> 00:02:00,876
me and my sister to get in the

49
00:02:00,876 --> 00:02:04,337
kitchen and cook and, like, learn the skill

50
00:02:04,714 --> 00:02:07,369
much to my mother's kind of probably

51
00:02:07,746 --> 00:02:08,246
cringe

52
00:02:08,704 --> 00:02:10,555
because we would make a big mess the

53
00:02:10,555 --> 00:02:10,794
kitchen.

54
00:02:11,514 --> 00:02:14,074
But he was very... He was like, k.

55
00:02:14,235 --> 00:02:15,995
You've could let them do it. It's really

56
00:02:15,995 --> 00:02:16,394
important.

57
00:02:17,354 --> 00:02:19,609
I came... I've come from a family of,

58
00:02:19,688 --> 00:02:22,082
like good cooks is about. Like, my my

59
00:02:22,162 --> 00:02:24,715
Nana, she was an amazing cook. Her mother,

60
00:02:24,954 --> 00:02:25,991
apparently, great cook.

61
00:02:26,723 --> 00:02:29,450
My grandmother great cook like, so

62
00:02:30,302 --> 00:02:31,177
so for me,

63
00:02:31,972 --> 00:02:34,755
I have already always been motivated by cooking.

64
00:02:35,408 --> 00:02:38,040
Because I get to enjoy whenever I'm cooking.

65
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,034
So some of it is a little bit

66
00:02:40,034 --> 00:02:40,933
of control

67
00:02:41,390 --> 00:02:44,341
because we get to eat what I want

68
00:02:44,341 --> 00:02:45,471
to eat. Right?

69
00:02:46,346 --> 00:02:48,175
I know that sounds selfish, but that is

70
00:02:48,175 --> 00:02:49,765
how it goes. Like, when you cook the

71
00:02:49,765 --> 00:02:52,389
food, you actually get to choose what you're

72
00:02:52,389 --> 00:02:53,446
eating, and

73
00:02:54,218 --> 00:02:57,106
then you you get that. Right? So that

74
00:02:57,106 --> 00:02:58,944
is 1 of the reasons why I think

75
00:02:59,024 --> 00:03:01,021
I've always been quite motivated to cook, and

76
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:03,188
I actually love it Any of you have

77
00:03:03,188 --> 00:03:06,131
been around me for a while, knows that

78
00:03:06,131 --> 00:03:08,835
it's... Like, you should look... You should look

79
00:03:08,835 --> 00:03:10,719
forward to eating a food. It should taste

80
00:03:11,078 --> 00:03:13,092
great and delicious, and

81
00:03:13,548 --> 00:03:16,120
that should be part of your life like

82
00:03:16,178 --> 00:03:17,612
food should be enjoyable.

83
00:03:18,504 --> 00:03:19,963
So what I'm

84
00:03:20,342 --> 00:03:22,740
realizing is that not everyone feels the same

85
00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:25,137
way I do, and there's some reasons for

86
00:03:25,137 --> 00:03:26,895
it, and I wanted to share some of

87
00:03:26,895 --> 00:03:29,718
these because you might hear yourself in this

88
00:03:29,934 --> 00:03:32,502
conversation, and I want you to know that

89
00:03:32,718 --> 00:03:34,645
there's some things that you can do about

90
00:03:34,645 --> 00:03:35,705
it. So,

91
00:03:36,324 --> 00:03:36,724
you know,

92
00:03:38,724 --> 00:03:41,205
1 I'm finding is there's a few different

93
00:03:41,205 --> 00:03:41,419
reads.

94
00:03:42,098 --> 00:03:44,892
1 of them is you actually don't like

95
00:03:44,892 --> 00:03:48,325
cooking. And generally when that is the case,

96
00:03:48,565 --> 00:03:50,821
and this is why I'm learning from, obviously

97
00:03:51,373 --> 00:03:53,445
in my programs, and when I work with

98
00:03:53,445 --> 00:03:54,242
people 01:01,

99
00:03:54,641 --> 00:03:57,112
on actually giving them recipes. Right? So they

100
00:03:57,112 --> 00:03:58,706
get a meal plan every week,

101
00:03:59,358 --> 00:04:02,145
tomorrow every Friday. A meal plan goes out.

102
00:04:02,703 --> 00:04:05,034
Everyone gets the meal plan in all honesty

103
00:04:05,410 --> 00:04:07,242
that male plan is what I'm eating for

104
00:04:07,242 --> 00:04:09,724
the week. And then everyone else gets to

105
00:04:09,724 --> 00:04:11,713
eat what I'm waiting for the week, but

106
00:04:11,873 --> 00:04:13,703
I have my recipe library, so they all

107
00:04:13,703 --> 00:04:15,270
can go in there and and they can

108
00:04:15,469 --> 00:04:18,265
they have they have the option to change

109
00:04:18,265 --> 00:04:20,502
it and make it whatever they want. I

110
00:04:20,502 --> 00:04:23,070
just design a ml plan around. What I

111
00:04:23,070 --> 00:04:26,014
personally wanna say. And everyone just gets to

112
00:04:26,014 --> 00:04:27,548
enjoy the journey. So

113
00:04:28,162 --> 00:04:30,629
what happens then is every Friday, the meal

114
00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:33,106
pain goes out that comes with recipes in

115
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:33,820
a shopping list.

116
00:04:34,535 --> 00:04:37,392
So what women are realizing is that then

117
00:04:37,392 --> 00:04:39,162
they go and cook some of these recipes

118
00:04:39,774 --> 00:04:40,274
and

119
00:04:40,901 --> 00:04:43,604
they taste great and the recipe takes like

120
00:04:43,604 --> 00:04:45,909
not very long to make. And so what

121
00:04:45,988 --> 00:04:46,806
I'm learning

122
00:04:47,181 --> 00:04:49,748
is that this is actually a real important

123
00:04:49,899 --> 00:04:52,850
part here because generally most of us don't

124
00:04:52,850 --> 00:04:54,444
have a lot of time. We're all very

125
00:04:54,444 --> 00:04:56,438
busy. We live in a world where we're

126
00:04:56,438 --> 00:04:58,431
so busy. We've just got so much going

127
00:04:58,431 --> 00:04:58,931
on

128
00:04:59,244 --> 00:05:00,462
we're all very

129
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:01,340
like

130
00:05:01,957 --> 00:05:04,750
committed. We're working. We've got kids. We've got,

131
00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:06,527
you know, families they're

132
00:05:07,158 --> 00:05:09,067
time is the essence. We're trying to fit

133
00:05:09,067 --> 00:05:11,056
in our exercise. We're trying to walk the

134
00:05:11,056 --> 00:05:12,806
dog where we're trying to do all the

135
00:05:12,806 --> 00:05:16,012
things. So having an hour to cook dinner

136
00:05:16,012 --> 00:05:19,047
is not necessarily like on the schedule that

137
00:05:19,047 --> 00:05:20,666
that time is not

138
00:05:21,298 --> 00:05:21,798
actually

139
00:05:22,491 --> 00:05:23,525
very achievable.

140
00:05:24,162 --> 00:05:26,309
If you can throw something together in 20

141
00:05:26,309 --> 00:05:27,662
minutes and it tastes great,

142
00:05:28,234 --> 00:05:31,103
then that is a achievable. Right? So the

143
00:05:31,103 --> 00:05:33,734
first thing I'm realizing is that some of

144
00:05:33,734 --> 00:05:35,748
this comes back to confidence

145
00:05:36,538 --> 00:05:39,660
So what I'm hearing from women is that

146
00:05:39,796 --> 00:05:40,296
firstly,

147
00:05:40,829 --> 00:05:42,998
they've got no time to plan. So

148
00:05:43,372 --> 00:05:46,009
they've trying to find recipes that are good.

149
00:05:46,247 --> 00:05:48,392
They go test the recipe. It turns out

150
00:05:48,392 --> 00:05:51,195
terrible. The family are like, what's this mom

151
00:05:51,410 --> 00:05:51,808
disgusting.

152
00:05:52,458 --> 00:05:54,209
You don't even wanna eat it because it

153
00:05:54,209 --> 00:05:56,619
tastes gross and then your

154
00:05:57,711 --> 00:06:00,337
motivation to cook is like not very high.

155
00:06:00,656 --> 00:06:01,824
Right? Because

156
00:06:02,183 --> 00:06:04,494
You've just had a bad experience. Everyone else

157
00:06:04,494 --> 00:06:06,406
has giving you hard time for it and

158
00:06:06,406 --> 00:06:08,637
quite frankly. You're like what's even the point.

159
00:06:08,876 --> 00:06:11,187
I might well just order takeaway or whatever

160
00:06:11,187 --> 00:06:13,581
it is. Get get a roast roast or

161
00:06:13,581 --> 00:06:13,978
whatever.

162
00:06:15,087 --> 00:06:18,098
But when you actually cook a meal that's

163
00:06:18,098 --> 00:06:20,494
like, takes to 20 minutes, you throw it

164
00:06:20,494 --> 00:06:22,107
together. It tastes amazing,

165
00:06:23,276 --> 00:06:24,968
and then it's hitting your protein,

166
00:06:25,581 --> 00:06:28,610
you feel better you've got better energy. The

167
00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:30,671
family are like, wow, mom, this tastes great.

168
00:06:30,909 --> 00:06:32,970
I love it. They're stealing your food,

169
00:06:33,445 --> 00:06:33,945
like

170
00:06:34,653 --> 00:06:36,349
there's like, this whole positive,

171
00:06:36,966 --> 00:06:37,125
like,

172
00:06:38,481 --> 00:06:41,033
kind of situation going on within you're, like,

173
00:06:41,193 --> 00:06:42,092
much more motivated

174
00:06:42,708 --> 00:06:44,239
to, like, get back in the kit in

175
00:06:44,239 --> 00:06:47,686
the next night because there's like, positive

176
00:06:48,620 --> 00:06:51,168
enforcement coming on. Like, you're not feeling like

177
00:06:51,168 --> 00:06:53,653
a complete now here in the kitchen. And

178
00:06:53,653 --> 00:06:56,048
then once you start seeing results with your

179
00:06:56,048 --> 00:06:58,922
body composition, not only your body composition. Like,

180
00:06:59,081 --> 00:07:01,417
generally when I'm working with women and my

181
00:07:01,476 --> 00:07:03,641
will try. We've got to the point where

182
00:07:03,641 --> 00:07:06,267
we're not happy with their body. Like, you

183
00:07:06,267 --> 00:07:08,018
know, I work with hundreds of women now.

184
00:07:08,256 --> 00:07:10,405
And, like, I wanna I wanna say there's

185
00:07:10,405 --> 00:07:11,303
probably been

186
00:07:12,011 --> 00:07:15,376
2 people who have not wanted fat loss

187
00:07:15,433 --> 00:07:17,900
in that... And that's un talking hundreds of

188
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:18,218
people.

189
00:07:19,188 --> 00:07:22,233
And that's jen because as you know, we

190
00:07:22,290 --> 00:07:24,040
damn it. I meant to turn it off.

191
00:07:24,597 --> 00:07:25,097
And

192
00:07:25,472 --> 00:07:26,842
is there as we know,

193
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,219
the whole

194
00:07:28,596 --> 00:07:30,909
thing, the estrogen, all of the stuff going

195
00:07:30,909 --> 00:07:31,149
on,

196
00:07:31,787 --> 00:07:34,897
I didn't put my phone on to not

197
00:07:34,897 --> 00:07:35,137
disturb.

198
00:07:36,748 --> 00:07:38,106
People are trying to call me? I mean,

199
00:07:38,266 --> 00:07:40,263
like, can I not say that I'm trying

200
00:07:40,263 --> 00:07:42,281
to teach my people? Honestly.

201
00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:45,307
It you guys, you know, I'm over here

202
00:07:45,307 --> 00:07:47,620
trying to do my best. If it's not

203
00:07:47,620 --> 00:07:48,918
the neighbor, it's random

204
00:07:49,295 --> 00:07:51,289
trying to call me or it's my family.

205
00:07:51,608 --> 00:07:53,220
I mean, on a thing.

206
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:54,660
Okay.

207
00:07:55,540 --> 00:07:56,199
Screen more.

208
00:07:56,980 --> 00:07:57,959
Okay. So

209
00:07:58,660 --> 00:08:00,420
this is the... This is what I'm saying

210
00:08:00,420 --> 00:08:01,639
though is that

211
00:08:02,033 --> 00:08:03,091
you know, generally,

212
00:08:03,467 --> 00:08:06,494
most people had somebody composition goes. They wanna

213
00:08:06,494 --> 00:08:08,269
lose somebody fat. And

214
00:08:09,219 --> 00:08:11,453
when... I can't remember what Was saying now

215
00:08:11,453 --> 00:08:12,650
that I got interrupted.

216
00:08:13,448 --> 00:08:16,081
Oh, yes. So then when you get a

217
00:08:16,081 --> 00:08:18,247
couple of you get a good week or

218
00:08:18,247 --> 00:08:20,396
2 of, like, eating high protein going.

219
00:08:20,953 --> 00:08:24,216
You feel better. You start seeing body composition

220
00:08:24,216 --> 00:08:27,257
results. You start getting better energy because yes,

221
00:08:27,496 --> 00:08:29,727
like everyone that comes, they want to build

222
00:08:29,727 --> 00:08:31,559
a muscle. They wanna lose the belly fat.

223
00:08:31,718 --> 00:08:33,311
They wanna feel better. They wanna they want

224
00:08:33,311 --> 00:08:34,917
their clothes to look better they wanna get

225
00:08:34,917 --> 00:08:38,099
their body back. But actually, how's your energy?

226
00:08:38,576 --> 00:08:40,899
How's your boat? How is your folks this.

227
00:08:41,138 --> 00:08:43,293
Like, how your sleep, like all of this

228
00:08:43,293 --> 00:08:44,969
other stuff falls into place. Right?

229
00:08:45,687 --> 00:08:48,240
So this all starts from where they're like,

230
00:08:48,734 --> 00:08:51,195
we are feeling motivated to get ourselves in

231
00:08:51,195 --> 00:08:53,576
the kitchen and cook. So on my program,

232
00:08:54,132 --> 00:08:55,561
and then when I'm working with my 1

233
00:08:55,561 --> 00:08:58,040
of my clients, we really talk a lot

234
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,733
about meal planning and prepping

235
00:09:00,427 --> 00:09:02,495
because it's a skill that sets you up

236
00:09:02,495 --> 00:09:05,480
for success. So what I wanted to share

237
00:09:05,538 --> 00:09:08,511
this little chat with you for was because

238
00:09:08,649 --> 00:09:12,238
what I'm understanding more about women that don't

239
00:09:12,238 --> 00:09:14,005
like to cook, like they come and going,

240
00:09:14,164 --> 00:09:16,071
but I don't really cut chanel now. Like,

241
00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:19,488
I don't really cook. And then they get

242
00:09:19,488 --> 00:09:21,815
involved. They start making some of the recipes

243
00:09:22,364 --> 00:09:24,519
They start realizing that it doesn't have to

244
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:26,833
take hours to make dinner. You can throw

245
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:28,829
something in the so cooker, It tastes amazing.

246
00:09:29,228 --> 00:09:31,951
The family are happy, you're kind of ticking

247
00:09:31,951 --> 00:09:32,746
on the boxes,

248
00:09:33,144 --> 00:09:34,893
looking like a little bit of a superstar

249
00:09:34,893 --> 00:09:36,722
when you served dinner up and it tastes

250
00:09:36,722 --> 00:09:37,120
awesome,

251
00:09:37,677 --> 00:09:38,177
and

252
00:09:38,869 --> 00:09:40,165
you're head your protein,

253
00:09:40,634 --> 00:09:43,665
you, like getting your body composition goes on

254
00:09:43,665 --> 00:09:45,898
track, like, it's all these things, but it

255
00:09:45,898 --> 00:09:48,392
starts from the food. Right? Because

256
00:09:49,089 --> 00:09:50,466
the hundred percent

257
00:09:52,693 --> 00:09:54,767
Nutrition is the start of this. Like, yes,

258
00:09:55,006 --> 00:09:55,724
it's a exercise.

259
00:09:56,362 --> 00:09:58,436
And the... And you hear people say this,

260
00:09:58,595 --> 00:10:00,270
you can't out train a bad diet, and

261
00:10:00,270 --> 00:10:03,164
it's true. I promise you it's true because

262
00:10:03,164 --> 00:10:06,284
80 percent of this is nutrition. Like, the

263
00:10:06,284 --> 00:10:08,125
food you put in your body is doing

264
00:10:08,125 --> 00:10:09,964
so much more than just giving your energy.

265
00:10:10,459 --> 00:10:12,614
And the reason I say that I have

266
00:10:12,614 --> 00:10:14,290
to share those of you who follow me

267
00:10:14,290 --> 00:10:15,168
on social media.

268
00:10:15,726 --> 00:10:16,205
Tomorrow,

269
00:10:16,764 --> 00:10:19,514
I will share the king that I am

270
00:10:19,733 --> 00:10:21,192
mixing up for myself

271
00:10:22,051 --> 00:10:25,087
this week. So if you're changing yesterday, you

272
00:10:25,087 --> 00:10:26,605
would have heard, I went to my doctor

273
00:10:26,605 --> 00:10:27,085
yesterday,

274
00:10:27,898 --> 00:10:30,291
and I've got some low cortisol. So I'm

275
00:10:30,291 --> 00:10:32,625
actually trying to support my body with some

276
00:10:32,683 --> 00:10:33,183
natural

277
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,911
at adapt, which are like plant based options.

278
00:10:37,642 --> 00:10:40,740
So I have got this mixture going. And

279
00:10:40,899 --> 00:10:42,328
I have to share it with you on

280
00:10:42,328 --> 00:10:44,234
my social media tomorrow for those of you

281
00:10:44,234 --> 00:10:46,299
following along. So you can have a good

282
00:10:46,299 --> 00:10:47,908
old laugh and see what I'm doing.

283
00:10:48,627 --> 00:10:49,766
It looks terrible.

284
00:10:50,225 --> 00:10:52,542
It has about 6 things that I'm banging

285
00:10:52,542 --> 00:10:53,202
in there

286
00:10:53,660 --> 00:10:54,160
because

287
00:10:54,634 --> 00:10:56,550
our food does so much more than just

288
00:10:56,550 --> 00:10:59,423
get my energy. Like, it it... There's so

289
00:10:59,423 --> 00:11:02,217
many things going on, and this is so

290
00:11:02,217 --> 00:11:04,702
much more hone in. For my menopause tribe,

291
00:11:04,862 --> 00:11:07,169
Like, watch she 10:40? I swear to god,

292
00:11:07,567 --> 00:11:09,397
this is really like,

293
00:11:10,114 --> 00:11:12,833
really important. Like there's so many factors. There's

294
00:11:12,833 --> 00:11:14,106
so many things. Right?

295
00:11:15,220 --> 00:11:17,129
So I will do that tomorrow if you

296
00:11:17,129 --> 00:11:19,796
follow my stories. To stay tuned you like

297
00:11:19,855 --> 00:11:21,451
your laugh when you see it.

298
00:11:23,286 --> 00:11:25,680
It's got sp and it's got makeup powder.

299
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,880
It's got the cr. It's it's it's a

300
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,711
it's a right king, and I can tell

301
00:11:30,711 --> 00:11:30,870
you.

302
00:11:32,382 --> 00:11:35,009
But that's... My point is if we can

303
00:11:35,009 --> 00:11:37,729
nail learn Nut And obviously, I'm over here

304
00:11:37,729 --> 00:11:40,354
like passion about teaching women if they can

305
00:11:40,354 --> 00:11:41,467
master their nutrition.

306
00:11:42,104 --> 00:11:43,875
So many things fall into place.

307
00:11:44,434 --> 00:11:44,934
And

308
00:11:45,794 --> 00:11:47,715
the cooking part of it, like,

309
00:11:48,274 --> 00:11:48,754
obviously,

310
00:11:49,235 --> 00:11:50,534
you can order

311
00:11:51,565 --> 00:11:54,511
food. And, like, we have companies here like

312
00:11:54,511 --> 00:11:56,126
my muscle share, and

313
00:11:56,899 --> 00:11:59,939
there's, you know, even ko do like, you

314
00:11:59,939 --> 00:12:01,689
know, there are little males.

315
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,714
And that can be helpful and and my

316
00:12:06,714 --> 00:12:08,857
program and I will be talking a little

317
00:12:08,857 --> 00:12:10,683
bit about how they can be helpful at

318
00:12:10,683 --> 00:12:11,318
7 times.

319
00:12:12,112 --> 00:12:13,327
But in all honesty,

320
00:12:14,351 --> 00:12:17,239
If you're cooking your food, you have control

321
00:12:17,296 --> 00:12:19,684
about about what you're cooking. You know what's

322
00:12:19,684 --> 00:12:22,481
going in now, when you eat out, you

323
00:12:22,481 --> 00:12:24,147
don't really know like,

324
00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:27,321
how much protein is this, like what sources

325
00:12:27,321 --> 00:12:28,987
are they put it on. What ingredients have

326
00:12:28,987 --> 00:12:30,992
gone into this. That is why, like,

327
00:12:31,790 --> 00:12:34,024
honestly, Ga I don't really eat out that

328
00:12:34,024 --> 00:12:36,598
much. And it's obviously because

329
00:12:37,136 --> 00:12:37,590
I

330
00:12:38,345 --> 00:12:40,414
enjoy cooking to a point. But these days,

331
00:12:40,652 --> 00:12:43,675
like, Friday night, I might, cooking. Like, you

332
00:12:43,675 --> 00:12:45,425
know, it's not like I love cooking every

333
00:12:45,425 --> 00:12:49,042
day. I just actually enjoy eating it. So

334
00:12:49,098 --> 00:12:51,507
there's times where I don't necessarily

335
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,824
like have the energy to be bothered cooking

336
00:12:54,824 --> 00:12:56,040
either. However,

337
00:12:56,509 --> 00:12:58,577
that's where we have hacks, you know, that's

338
00:12:58,577 --> 00:13:00,884
where the snow cooker comes in, and this

339
00:13:00,884 --> 00:13:02,952
is, you know, but in all honesty, we

340
00:13:02,952 --> 00:13:05,202
don't really eat out that much because

341
00:13:05,673 --> 00:13:07,902
I would rather eat food that I've prepared

342
00:13:07,902 --> 00:13:09,575
because I know what it is. And I

343
00:13:09,575 --> 00:13:11,406
know that I'm hitting my protein. I know

344
00:13:11,406 --> 00:13:13,578
it's healthy. I know it's full of vegetables,

345
00:13:14,049 --> 00:13:15,799
I know it's, like nutrient dense,

346
00:13:16,435 --> 00:13:18,662
and I'm in control of it because I...

347
00:13:19,060 --> 00:13:20,572
That's fun of my non negotiable negotiable.

348
00:13:21,223 --> 00:13:21,723
So

349
00:13:22,259 --> 00:13:22,998
the reasoning,

350
00:13:23,375 --> 00:13:24,649
I I've I've got a lot to talk

351
00:13:24,649 --> 00:13:26,562
about here, you know, and and I warn

352
00:13:26,562 --> 00:13:28,315
you guys about this, I'm good at talking.

353
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:30,546
But the the reason I get passionate about

354
00:13:30,546 --> 00:13:32,094
this part of it is that

355
00:13:32,468 --> 00:13:33,762
this some

356
00:13:34,215 --> 00:13:35,589
disconnects with, like, confidence

357
00:13:36,201 --> 00:13:36,756
with, like,

358
00:13:37,551 --> 00:13:38,742
education with, like,

359
00:13:39,552 --> 00:13:42,574
just once you you learn some of these

360
00:13:42,574 --> 00:13:45,913
things. And and honestly, like, when you can

361
00:13:45,913 --> 00:13:48,140
follow a recipe where you know what the

362
00:13:48,140 --> 00:13:48,617
breakdown is.

363
00:13:49,189 --> 00:13:51,729
So this is why on my program it's

364
00:13:51,729 --> 00:13:53,793
very easy. I've kinda taken the guest book

365
00:13:53,793 --> 00:13:55,063
out of it. So when you make a

366
00:13:55,063 --> 00:13:57,604
recipe you know how much calories, how many

367
00:13:57,604 --> 00:13:59,526
protein? Like all of those things.

368
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:02,230
So it takes all that guest work out

369
00:14:02,230 --> 00:14:03,502
of it. So then when you go and

370
00:14:03,502 --> 00:14:05,808
do it and it tastes great that builds

371
00:14:05,808 --> 00:14:06,626
your confidence

372
00:14:07,239 --> 00:14:10,921
to then keep cooking and keep, like, you

373
00:14:10,921 --> 00:14:13,313
know, I can do this like this tastes

374
00:14:13,313 --> 00:14:15,706
great. I can do it. It's not that

375
00:14:15,706 --> 00:14:18,512
hard. It took me 20 minutes, like sometimes

376
00:14:18,512 --> 00:14:21,061
less, you know, I can do this and

377
00:14:21,061 --> 00:14:23,211
then you can build on it. So that

378
00:14:23,211 --> 00:14:25,601
is some of the thought processes I wanted

379
00:14:25,601 --> 00:14:27,948
to share with you today because I know

380
00:14:28,563 --> 00:14:30,475
the amount of women I'm, like, I'm gonna

381
00:14:30,475 --> 00:14:32,944
call Nancy out here, Nancy is 1 of

382
00:14:32,944 --> 00:14:35,572
my beautiful clients who did my last program.

383
00:14:36,464 --> 00:14:37,181
She's amazing.

384
00:14:37,819 --> 00:14:39,731
And why Nancy did so well.

385
00:14:40,448 --> 00:14:42,999
And this is literally Nancy story. Right? She

386
00:14:42,999 --> 00:14:44,447
came in at the sun because but chanel,

387
00:14:44,606 --> 00:14:46,194
I don't really like to cook like we're

388
00:14:46,194 --> 00:14:48,180
just like eat out all the time because

389
00:14:48,259 --> 00:14:50,642
I don't really like to cook. She has

390
00:14:50,642 --> 00:14:51,142
literally

391
00:14:52,484 --> 00:14:52,984
transformed

392
00:14:53,363 --> 00:14:56,399
herself. Now she's cooking. She's enjoying it. What

393
00:14:56,559 --> 00:14:57,219
I'll do

394
00:14:57,597 --> 00:14:58,097
is

395
00:14:58,636 --> 00:15:00,985
I will set up a call with Nancy

396
00:15:01,199 --> 00:15:02,968
so you can hear her story

397
00:15:03,341 --> 00:15:05,269
because it is so,

398
00:15:06,435 --> 00:15:09,150
like, that's part of part of the reason

399
00:15:09,309 --> 00:15:11,059
I wanted to share this with you is

400
00:15:11,059 --> 00:15:14,161
the change she has had, and this is

401
00:15:14,161 --> 00:15:14,957
not just nancy.

402
00:15:15,528 --> 00:15:17,596
I just love Nancy. So she... We we'll

403
00:15:17,596 --> 00:15:19,107
set this call up so you can hear

404
00:15:19,107 --> 00:15:20,004
it from here

405
00:15:20,379 --> 00:15:21,970
from her version of it.

406
00:15:24,211 --> 00:15:26,116
But there's many women that come in like

407
00:15:26,116 --> 00:15:28,419
this. And even some of the new girls

408
00:15:28,419 --> 00:15:30,881
in the the current program, we've been on

409
00:15:30,881 --> 00:15:33,122
calls and this... So I know that for

410
00:15:33,122 --> 00:15:34,952
them, this is the start of the journey

411
00:15:34,952 --> 00:15:36,942
for them. But I wanted to share it

412
00:15:36,942 --> 00:15:38,613
because I know there's lots of people out

413
00:15:38,613 --> 00:15:40,522
there. If these girls are in the same

414
00:15:40,522 --> 00:15:43,401
boat, that that there's lots of other women

415
00:15:43,401 --> 00:15:45,469
out there because you've got the pressure from

416
00:15:45,469 --> 00:15:47,776
your family. You've got the pressure on yourself.

417
00:15:48,347 --> 00:15:50,412
You just up a a meal that you've,

418
00:15:50,492 --> 00:15:53,113
you know, you're you're trying out because you've

419
00:15:53,113 --> 00:15:54,701
seen and it looks good and it tastes

420
00:15:54,701 --> 00:15:58,058
like crap because maybe it was harder to

421
00:15:58,058 --> 00:15:59,493
make than what it looked out day.

422
00:16:00,609 --> 00:16:02,043
And then you feel like a failure,

423
00:16:02,522 --> 00:16:05,165
and your confidence tends to crack. And then

424
00:16:05,165 --> 00:16:07,312
the whole family are like what's this rubbish.

425
00:16:07,551 --> 00:16:09,698
And then you don't even wanna edit it.

426
00:16:09,857 --> 00:16:12,322
So then it just doesn't make you want

427
00:16:12,322 --> 00:16:14,071
to keep doing the thing.

428
00:16:14,722 --> 00:16:15,222
So

429
00:16:15,753 --> 00:16:17,181
I want you to know that you can

430
00:16:17,181 --> 00:16:18,554
fix that. And

431
00:16:18,927 --> 00:16:19,427
that's

432
00:16:19,958 --> 00:16:22,753
lean into, like, If you're not already on

433
00:16:22,753 --> 00:16:25,219
my email list, I send out recipes every

434
00:16:25,219 --> 00:16:28,322
week. So and no most no and no

435
00:16:28,322 --> 00:16:31,208
life. Netflix actually has a banana bread recipe,

436
00:16:31,368 --> 00:16:34,082
so it's not a dinner recipe, but the

437
00:16:34,082 --> 00:16:36,236
family will still love it. I finally cracked

438
00:16:36,236 --> 00:16:38,330
an awesome banana a bread recipe that has

439
00:16:38,330 --> 00:16:40,410
got protein in it. I've had a few

440
00:16:40,410 --> 00:16:41,769
shots to it and they have an all

441
00:16:41,769 --> 00:16:43,850
been great. So this 1, I really like

442
00:16:43,850 --> 00:16:43,930
it.

443
00:16:44,663 --> 00:16:46,652
So next week I feel on my email

444
00:16:46,652 --> 00:16:48,561
list, you'll will get the Banana bread recipe,

445
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,709
but I tend to send recipes out every

446
00:16:50,709 --> 00:16:52,952
week over there. On my email list. So

447
00:16:52,952 --> 00:16:55,181
if you're not on my email list, you

448
00:16:55,181 --> 00:16:57,887
need to get on it and make sure

449
00:16:57,887 --> 00:17:00,370
that you are getting the rest because give

450
00:17:00,370 --> 00:17:01,087
them a try,

451
00:17:01,883 --> 00:17:02,781
have a go

452
00:17:03,157 --> 00:17:05,785
and build that confidence up. And if you're

453
00:17:05,785 --> 00:17:07,695
not on my email list, I'll drop a

454
00:17:07,695 --> 00:17:10,725
link care for a little freebie. If you

455
00:17:10,725 --> 00:17:12,390
grab that freebie, that will get you on

456
00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:14,135
the email list, and then you'll be able

457
00:17:14,135 --> 00:17:15,403
to get the banana bed recipe.

458
00:17:16,293 --> 00:17:18,843
So I hope that makes sense, and I

459
00:17:18,843 --> 00:17:19,662
feel like

460
00:17:20,198 --> 00:17:22,828
the more I kept thinking about Nancy story,

461
00:17:24,357 --> 00:17:26,027
that there there are a lot of other

462
00:17:26,027 --> 00:17:28,175
women out there in this boat. And if

463
00:17:28,175 --> 00:17:30,402
we can fix this for you guys, then

464
00:17:30,561 --> 00:17:32,413
I swear to God, you will

465
00:17:32,964 --> 00:17:35,045
you will not look back. It makes a

466
00:17:35,045 --> 00:17:35,845
massive difference.

467
00:17:36,964 --> 00:17:39,384
Another tip that might be helpful is

468
00:17:39,765 --> 00:17:42,105
I hear quite often like women

469
00:17:42,658 --> 00:17:43,158
feeling

470
00:17:44,493 --> 00:17:46,886
overwhelmed. You know, like it's like, I wanna

471
00:17:46,886 --> 00:17:49,119
cook this recipe. I wanna do this dinner,

472
00:17:49,677 --> 00:17:51,831
and then they just feel overwhelmed and it's

473
00:17:51,831 --> 00:17:52,722
just like too much.

474
00:17:53,518 --> 00:17:55,665
So if you are someone who is super

475
00:17:55,665 --> 00:17:57,336
busy through the week like this is me.

476
00:17:57,574 --> 00:17:59,299
I am quite time through the week just

477
00:17:59,419 --> 00:18:00,529
of my training schedule.

478
00:18:01,164 --> 00:18:01,664
So

479
00:18:02,751 --> 00:18:05,845
endeavor to make Lasagna during the week is

480
00:18:05,845 --> 00:18:07,724
not going to be a good idea for

481
00:18:08,002 --> 00:18:09,535
because I don't have the time

482
00:18:09,909 --> 00:18:13,484
to put into that. So having a slow

483
00:18:13,484 --> 00:18:15,311
like tonight, I have a double session of

484
00:18:15,311 --> 00:18:17,635
training tonight, I'm going to be coming home

485
00:18:17,635 --> 00:18:17,954
late.

486
00:18:18,832 --> 00:18:21,304
I'm literally throwing something in the slow cooker

487
00:18:21,304 --> 00:18:22,740
when I get home from I'm training, it'll

488
00:18:22,740 --> 00:18:23,059
be cooked.

489
00:18:23,777 --> 00:18:26,423
I know. I I don't have time to

490
00:18:26,423 --> 00:18:29,602
dedicate today. So if you wanna try something

491
00:18:29,602 --> 00:18:31,827
that's a little bit more intricate that's gonna

492
00:18:31,827 --> 00:18:35,108
take a bit more time, then allow yourself

493
00:18:35,339 --> 00:18:37,335
maybe time in the weekend where you're... You've

494
00:18:37,335 --> 00:18:39,649
got more time you're not under pressure, and

495
00:18:39,649 --> 00:18:42,602
then you'll have a better outcome. So this

496
00:18:42,602 --> 00:18:43,855
comes into the equation as

497
00:18:44,530 --> 00:18:46,517
1 of the new ladies on my program,

498
00:18:46,596 --> 00:18:47,232
for example,

499
00:18:47,788 --> 00:18:50,274
she is very busy. She really

500
00:18:50,887 --> 00:18:51,259
is

501
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:54,920
traveling a lot. And so we are mastermind

502
00:18:55,700 --> 00:18:56,019
her,

503
00:18:56,660 --> 00:18:59,952
learning to do this using very quick recipes.

504
00:19:00,112 --> 00:19:02,504
The ones that literally you've burn something in

505
00:19:02,504 --> 00:19:04,258
the So cooker, you come back it's cooked,

506
00:19:04,497 --> 00:19:07,448
you know? And so she can start building

507
00:19:07,448 --> 00:19:08,187
that confidence

508
00:19:08,659 --> 00:19:10,654
So she doesn't get to 6PM and go,

509
00:19:11,292 --> 00:19:13,128
crap. I've gotta cook dinner and then be

510
00:19:13,128 --> 00:19:15,064
really negative about it and feel

511
00:19:15,442 --> 00:19:18,088
all sorts of ways about it. So these

512
00:19:18,088 --> 00:19:20,399
are just some taps and, hopefully, this has

513
00:19:20,399 --> 00:19:23,746
helped. I know that this conversation is important.

514
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,079
And that's why I know a lot of

515
00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:27,440
you will be listening and going.

516
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,720
That's me. So if you are not already

517
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,154
getting my emails, I would definitely

518
00:19:33,533 --> 00:19:35,690
recommend you get on my email list because

519
00:19:35,850 --> 00:19:38,885
I send out our recipes every week. Normally,

520
00:19:39,699 --> 00:19:42,091
This week no, it's banana bread. So it's

521
00:19:42,091 --> 00:19:43,127
not a generous recipe.

522
00:19:43,526 --> 00:19:45,280
But if you're not on my email list,

523
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,832
then, I will pop a link here in

524
00:19:47,832 --> 00:19:50,315
the comments. It's a little freebie. Just grab

525
00:19:50,315 --> 00:19:50,815
it

526
00:19:51,349 --> 00:19:51,588
what,

527
00:19:53,258 --> 00:19:54,929
grab me on social media. Follow me on

528
00:19:55,009 --> 00:19:56,520
Social media now shoot me a message, ask

529
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,396
me for that link.

530
00:19:57,966 --> 00:19:59,632
And we can get you on the email

531
00:19:59,632 --> 00:20:00,902
list, And then at least you can try

532
00:20:00,902 --> 00:20:01,877
some of my recipes

533
00:20:02,409 --> 00:20:02,909
and,

534
00:20:03,281 --> 00:20:05,045
you know, build that confidence up,

535
00:20:05,684 --> 00:20:07,525
because, of course, my wrist just take the

536
00:20:07,525 --> 00:20:09,365
guest back out of it. So that is

537
00:20:09,365 --> 00:20:09,865
my

538
00:20:10,325 --> 00:20:12,404
recommendation for you today. But hopefully, this is

539
00:20:12,404 --> 00:20:14,093
held And I just want you to hang

540
00:20:14,093 --> 00:20:15,390
in there and truly

541
00:20:15,845 --> 00:20:17,836
build this skill if this is you, You're

542
00:20:17,836 --> 00:20:19,747
listening to and you're like, yep. This is

543
00:20:19,747 --> 00:20:22,330
something I've really gotta work on I truly

544
00:20:22,705 --> 00:20:25,883
know from the transformations that I see occur

545
00:20:25,883 --> 00:20:27,814
