People say that age is just a number. And I agree - it's how you live your life that determines how young or old you are. Part of that is of course what you eat. How you eat. How much you eat. And how you feel. On that note, in celebration of my 47th birthday, I'm giving you 47% OFF my subscription plans until end of play Monday.Use the code MIKKI47 for this awesome deal on my FLOW (fat loss plan for women), my Man Plan (fat loss plan for, you guessed it, men), my real food plan and my athlete plan. Find these options here and use the code MIKKI47 (it IS case sensitive)Also - because I like to share what's on my mind... here's 47 things I've been thinking about.Eating: is always ‘opportunity cost’ Most people need to eat more proteinSome women are afraid to eat meat for fear of gaining weightThere are good and bad foods, and eating them doesn’t make you a good or bad personIt’s not enough to eat one of those steam locked bags of vegetables at dinner and call it ‘good’Weetbix shouldn’t be a meal. Neither should toastSometimes ‘good enough’ isn’t actually good enough - to reach your goals you have to do betterYou can’t get everything you need from foodThe people that take notice of the ‘eat less red meat’ messages are those that need to eat it the mostMost people could do with eating less carbs20g of protein in a meal is not a high protein mealMost people under-report the amount of alcohol they drinkFor most people, they don’t need to be perfect, they just need to be consistentDon’t rely on one source of truth for your nutrition adviceGetting your nutrition advice from someone whose course was a week long is fine, until something goes wrong.Why call it a ‘cheat meal’ if you’re only ‘cheating’ yourselfIf you have toast for breakfast and a sandwich for lunch, you need to rethink your nutrition strategyThose small tins of tuna/salmon are not a high protein optionMost people have an opinion on nutrition because they eat. You can’t be healthy at any size if you don’t exerciseThose snack choices on a short haul flight are unnecessary and you don’t need to be eating a cookieIf you care about your cholesterol, cut down on your carbohydrate intakeNot everyone needs to lower their saturated fat intakeIn nutrition, there are people and organisations who have an agenda that isn’t related to your healthRed meat isn’t high in saturated fat, actuallyMost processed food doesn’t contain saturated fat as it’s quite expensiveIf you don’t exercise, you aren’t healthy, even if you are leanYou don’t need to be entertained by every single mealFamily history is a big predictor in a lot of disease-states, however your genes are not your destinyIt’s never too late to changeBe wary of anyone who speaks in black and white, and won’t change their opinion in the face of new informationCardio is really important for your heart and long term health and it’s wise to do that alongside your resistance trainingMuesli bars/granola bars aren’t a good snack choiceIf you live in NZ you need to take a vitamin D supplement and you need more than the dose that we are allowed to sellMost people don’t need to snack, but athletes could do with that fourth eating opportunityThe iron supplement you get from your doctor is not the only choice for ironWhy are there ‘kids menus’ at restaurants?Your high blood pressure is as likely linked to a high carbohydrate load as it is your salt intakeSome women train just fine fastedFor some people, intermittent fasting is the best approach, even if they are womenFruit isn’t a health food for some peopleButter trumps margarineYour cholesterol level is less important than what your doctor thinks it isMost people need a magnesium supplement Keto for fat loss is not a high fat dietYou can’t get fit by eating differently. You have to exercise‘Everything in moderation’ isn’t true for everyone Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Transcript generated using AI transcription services; errors may occur. Contact Mikki for clarification00:11Hey everyone, it's Mikki here. You're listening to Mini Mikkipedia on a Monday. And today I'm gonna chat about the vegetarian athlete because there are certain nutrition considerations which I feel could warrant a little bit more attention beyond just the micronutrients and macronutrients we know to be of concern. So I'm gonna run through them as I see it and then also have a chat about blood biomarkers.00:40just at the end. And I will preface this by saying that whilst of course I have an omnivore diet, I work with a number of athletes and individuals looking to optimize their vegetarian approach. These are conversations that I'll have in my clinic at least every couple of weeks because there is a way to do it properly so you're not going to be at risk of losing muscle mass or impacting negatively on recovery.01:10This is particularly for people with high energy requirements and a lot of teenagers would fall into this and particularly teenage girls who may turn vegetarian because of a moral stance or they have it in their head that this is going to help with their body composition or whatever it is. Yet often those health conscious ones take it just a little bit further than what ideally it would be taken.01:38And calories are of a concern in this space because teenagers particularly have high energy requirements just through the fact that they're growing plus their sport and of course to fill their brain for school etc. And there are just periods of the day where they just can't eat all day long, right? Not that you would necessarily want them to. And vegetarian based diets can be challenging in that getting quality calories.02:07can be limited because there is an increased fiber intake. From people who follow a vegetarian diet, which has a lot of beans and vegetables added, getting the calorie requirements in quite a high volume diet can be tricky. So, you know, if I look at the literature around this area, on balance for adults at least,02:30The difference in energy intake between omnivores and vegetarians might be only about 5%, which isn't actually a major in the big scheme of things. Someone may easily maintain their weight in that space, but it's just those higher energy requirements from a vegetarian athlete. And another person I would, or avatar if you like, that I would put into this camp would be potentially a male who is doing endurance-based sport, who has gone vegetarian and isn't03:00calories or supplementing. So they're just sort of loading up a lot on beans and rice and potatoes and and hey maybe cheese and stuff like that but find that they're actually losing weight but importantly they're unable to recover as well. So I think calories is or can be a major consideration but then of course to turn that on its head sometimes people can absolutely overdo calories particularly if they're chasing something like protein and protein which03:29It's more difficult to get in a vegetarian diet. And you do have to consume almost several hundred calories more to get the same amount of protein that you would otherwise find in a steak. If this is the case for some people, then their vegetarian approach by dropping out meat can in fact increase the calories and make it more challenging for them to maintain a body composition that aids performance and also aids health.03:56So I think that's also really worth considering too. And of course from the macronutrients, protein is the major one of consideration. And protein quality is a term which we refer to here. So it encompasses a protein's sources of amino acid composition, its digestibility, and subsequent bioavailability of specific amino acids. And also of course that metabolic fate of those amino acids.04:23Such factors are affected by the specific protein source, whether it's consumed as isolated protein, such as you'd find in a protein powder, or as a protein-rich whole food, and whether that protein source is consumed alongside other foods in a meal. Irrespective, the quality of a protein source has reliably been shown to play an important role in determining the magnitude of post-exercise muscle protein synthesis response. And that response is responsible04:53for aiding recovery. So milk, egg and meat derived proteins all stimulate robust post-exercise NPS response and this is attributed to their high essential amino acid content, particularly leucine, a lack of any notable amino acid deficiencies, rapid digestibility, and a high total digestibility and absorbability and therefore more availability in circulation.05:22So that is that they're just more bioavailable. And this has been observed in a number of studies using milk, using eggs, using ground beef and beefsteak. So we're quite confident that if you have these foods, then you're gonna be okay, particularly if they're in a certain amount, right? In contrast, there are in fact fewer studi

They discuss the modern diet, and how it is devoid of nutrients that help support immunity. They discuss the term hidden hunger, and how this relates to topsoil and the nutritional content of our foods. They delve into gut related health and so much more.Aged-care doctor Dr Roderick Mulgan has a long-held interest in preventative medicine, with a research focus on inflammation, longevity, immunity and the role of functional foods. He has been a doctor for a quarter century and is a Fellow of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners. Over the last decade he has developed a multi-doctor practice that services aged-care facilities. His aged-care work led to an interest in the effect of lifestyle choices on well-being and in particular (unusual among mainstream doctors) the evidence that novel foods and supplements promote long-term health. This led him to consider how the major debilitating diseases of the middle and later years evolve, and what can be done about them. He is the author of three books related to these topics Build Your Immunity For Life, examines the role of lifestyle and diet in boosting immunity and protecting against infection. In addition to these two books The Internal Flame: New Insights into Silent Inflammation, and Eat Yourself Health. He is also a practising lawyer at Rubicon Chambers.Books https://calicopublishing.co.nz/products/build-your-immunity-for-life-diet-and-lifestyle-choices-to-protect-against-infectionhttps://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/the-internal-flame/29850175Linked In profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/roderick-mulgan-b404894a/?originalSubdomain=nzStuff article https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/300930980/not-a-total-workaholic-meet-the-auckland-doctor-who-is-also-a-practising-lawyer Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order
