Chloe SalterHOST
And there's only certain foods that are allowed on that.
Chloe SalterHOST
Now, if you grew up in the 90s or pre, you know, 80s as well, we had things like Slimming World.
Chloe SalterHOST
We had things like Weight Watchers, Keto, Atkins, all these kind of things.
Chloe SalterHOST
And a lot of those diets... outlawed certain foods or types of foods.
SamHOST
It's just got so much scope for it to become the base of your dinner.
SamHOST
and also for your for your work lunches as well and then for day nine we did salsa chicken i like this idea because we've done quite a lot in super cubes and this the idea here is you can freeze individual chicken breasts for the freezer and they've got a lovely salsa flavor to them and they're loaded up with grated cheese as well and they're just so so good and And what I like here is salsa chicken became a thing among the diet community, especially for Weight Watchers and Slimming World and such like.
SamHOST
So this is following that kind of method.
SamHOST
So it's a low calorie and high protein recipe.
Rob BirkheadHOST
i speak to so many women in their late 40s in their 50s or in their 60s who struggled with their weight their whole life um or at least started struggling with it since menopause and they've typically tried so many different approaches over the years and it's really distorted their view of what healthy eating actually is and it can really leave them confused stuck knowing what to do stuck in clothes that no longer fit blaming themselves or their body when actually it's the approaches that are at fault.
Rob BirkheadHOST
Things like Slimming World, Weight Watchers, basic calorie counting, juice diets, extreme low-carb diets, keto, fasting, meal replacement shakes, detoxes, and all of this stuff has been pushed upon women especially.
Rob BirkheadHOST
And it's in women's magazines, newspapers, now Instagram, TikTok, YouTube.
Rob BirkheadHOST
And it can be completely bamboozling.
CaraHOST
So this is like the 800 calorie diet, 800 fast, I don't know what it's called actually.
CaraHOST
If you've got Slimming World joining books, Get them out.
CaraHOST
If you've got any, like the Atkins diet, or you've got any sort of diet books that tells you how to diet, pop them in a pile.
CaraHOST
Pop them in a pile, and then you are gonna be like, oh, actually, yeah, I've got three 800 fast books.
Pete PriceGUEST
Well, all this now is not, as bad as I thought it would be, and shriveling.
Leanne CampbellHOST
But if you'd been on Slimmer's Wales or Weight Watchers and lost this amount of weight, you would still have fat? Precisely.
Leanne CampbellHOST
Tell you
Pete PriceGUEST
what fascinated me, I just can't stop laughing about this.
JoHOST
Thank goodness we're not home for it.
JoHOST
I went to Slimming World yesterday and someone said, how do you cope with having to buy sweets in case people come round? And I just looked at them and I'm like, just shut the gates.
JoHOST
Don't buy sweets.
JoHOST
Oh, you're such a boss.
RyanHOST
