Storm Trow's Nutrition Journey
00:01:25
Speaker
Today, my guest who I met on matchmaker.fm is Storm Trow.
00:01:31
Speaker
Storm is a nutritionist who's passionate about improving health through nutrition and lifestyle changes, and this is the important bit, without creating any restrictions.
00:01:43
Speaker
Storm is based in London, the capital of the United Kingdom. It is a city that I often visit with work, so I know exactly how expensive visiting London can be. That is why I always make my travel arrangements with the Ultimate Travel Club, because that is where we can access trade prices on flights, hotels and holidays and all sorts of other travel related purchases.
00:02:06
Speaker
You'll find a link and a membership discount code in the description. Now I've paid the rent, so it's time to make this episode of Fit For My Age. Hello, Storm.
00:02:18
Speaker
Hi. how are you doing today? I'm good, thank you. How are you? I am also good. Thank you very much. We are going to be talking about working and being at work and the things that they can do to maintain a healthy diet during their working day.
Balancing Diet in Busy Schedules
00:02:32
Speaker
But before we do that, please could you explain how you became a nutritionist? So I started off studying sports science at the University of Edinburgh and it was actually one of the years during Covid where all of our modules were online.
00:02:46
Speaker
So I was supposed to do a placement, but obviously Noah wanted to take us for placements because they didn't want extra people. So I ended up picking sports nutrition, which I have been told that was really difficult and I should avoid.
00:02:58
Speaker
i ended up loving it. I found it really, really interesting. And it just completely sparked the idea of doing nutrition after my undergrad to King's College London. And I did my master's in nutrition. And then that led me to becoming an associate registered nutritionist.
00:03:13
Speaker
And then I went into working initially with the and NHS diabetes prevention program. I then went into working in corporate health. and i'm working now for myself with individual clients.
00:03:24
Speaker
I also work with another company doing the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme and another one doing a community programme called the Guys Get Active programme. Basically, men are referred by their GP and I provide the kind of nutrition half and then they have an exercise half as well.
00:03:40
Speaker
Great. So lots of different things at the moment. Yeah, but exciting times for you. Definitely, yeah. Sounds great. So the big question is, how can we fit a healthy diet into a busy work schedule and and home life?
Emotional vs Physical Hunger
00:03:53
Speaker
I think this is something that, you know, a lot of us struggle with. And even with myself now, going from a job where I was traveling every day into the city, I found it difficult then. And even now that I'm working from home a lot more, it can still be difficult. There's just different challenges.
00:04:08
Speaker
I think the main thing that a lot of us don't want to hear, but it's planning ahead. Whether it's planning ahead by just what we buy and what we're going to get in our meal deal, or if we can do some batch cooking, that's even better.
00:04:20
Speaker
It really is that preparation that can help us to eat so much healthier. Yes, an awful lot of white collar professional office workers are now working from home at least some of the week.
00:04:32
Speaker
And as one of them, I have realised that... Whilst you're in the office, you have to exchange money for that, whether it's from a machine or by actually going to a shop to buy it.
00:04:44
Speaker
Exactly. And it's not like that at home. We don't have a vending machine in the kitchen. You can go and get as many biscuits as you like. Definitely. And I definitely and I find that that's something I'm trying to work on is that border meeting. You know, you're a little bit bored and you think, oh, I'll just go to have a look at the kitchen, see what's there, which we're maybe less likely to do at work because we know other people are watching and other people are around and it's not our kitchen. So, yeah, it's definitely a struggle. And I said there's different struggles between going into the office and working from home.
00:05:14
Speaker
They both do have their benefits. So obviously when we're at home, we do have that ability to do more cooking, gives us a lot more opportunities for variety. and But then equally, if we're really busy, booked all our meetings back to back and we haven't planned ahead and there's nothing in the fridge, we might still end up having something convenient anyway.
00:05:31
Speaker
Yes. People eating because they're bored. Perhaps we so we we define ourselves as bored. I want some variety, so I'll go and eat something. But there must be an underlying reason for the desire to eat something because you can relieve the boredom by sort saying, I've spent enough time on that particular task.
00:05:49
Speaker
I need to change to do something else. But somehow or another, our body is telling us that we we need to eat something and that's our solution to, I want to change.
00:06:00
Speaker
Whereas we could change the activity, the work activity that we do rather than going to the the biscuit tin. Exactly. And that's why it is really important to take those breaks away from the desk. So whether it's going out, even for a five minute walk, if you don't have, you know, long enough to do a longer walk, and because, you know, going to the kitchen is all right. It doesn't actually get rid of that boredom.
00:06:21
Speaker
The reason we do it is because we get a bit of a dopamine hit, particularly we're not really reaching for usually something healthy when we bored and eat as well. Tends to be something, you know, more high sugar or maybe it's high fats and even crisps or whether it's biscuits or anything.
00:06:35
Speaker
And it's also why we all need to understand the difference between that physical hunger and then that kind of emotional or mental hunger as well. What do you mean by dopamine hit?
Dopamine and Eating Habits
00:06:45
Speaker
So dopamine is just one of the kind of happy chemicals in our brain.
00:06:48
Speaker
So for example, if we eat something really tasty, we don't just feel it in our tummy, but we do feel happy, don't we? When you eat something that's really nice. So it's just that side of it, that kind of mental side as opposed to that physical side of eating so it's almost like carbs can help lift our mood yeah and that's why people say you know that sugar for example can be classed as an addiction because we can get a similar kind of response as to let's say smoking for example there is a kind of a mental response it's not just physical it's not just you know the way it feels in our stomach or on our you know the way it feels on our taste buds can affect our mood and things you know
00:07:26
Speaker
And that's why we do reach back for things even when we're still full sometimes, you know, if something really tasty is in front of us, even if we're really full. I know most of us can push past that fullness because we really want to eat that thing, whether it's a chocolate. I'm sort of thinking about it and thinking like, oh, I do that.
00:07:42
Speaker
I'm feeling a bit guilty. But... Part of your thing is like that there is no guilt to any of this. This is all perfectly natural and there's no reason to stop doing things completely.
00:07:54
Speaker
You're talking about, in your approach, it's about the balance Definitely. And it's something I preach in all my work, whether it's with individuals or in the group sessions that I do, even on a diabetes prevention program.
00:08:06
Speaker
And one of the main reasons is that, you know, food obviously provides us with energy and all the vitamins and minerals that we need to, you know, keep our body going. But it is also in our modern day world.
00:08:17
Speaker
It helps in our relationships, you know, going out for a meal with friends or family. It can also be that little treat, you know, if we've had a bad day or if it's someone's birthday and a cake and there's nothing wrong with that. But it is all about that balance of saying, OK, well, as long as my overall diet is healthy and I'm including all the right things, it's completely fine for me to have that piece of cake or it's completely fine for me to have that chocolate.
00:08:39
Speaker
And the other reason is and why I preach about the relationship with food is if we create that restriction with food. So let's say I say, oh, I know, you know, cakes full of sugar. I'm i'm never going to have cake, but I'm a cake lover.
00:08:52
Speaker
That actually makes me think about it even more and want it even more. And that creates that unhealthy relationship with food. And it also means we're more likely to binge on things. So it means when I do finally allow myself to have cake, I'm more likely to have loads of cake rather than that one slice that I really wanted.
00:09:09
Speaker
Whereas if I took the other approach of, I know it's the not the most healthy thing ever, but I really love cake and it's so-and-so's birthday and they've offered me a slice, I'm going to have a slice because I really want it. and And that's completely fine. It doesn't ruin my diet.
00:09:22
Speaker
I'm less likely to then become fixated on it and for it to become that unhealthy relationship.
Dangers of Food Restriction
00:09:27
Speaker
I hope that makes sense. Yes, makes an awful lot sense. So it's the, I'm not going to have it, I'm not going to have it, or I'm going to have it. And because of that, you then say, I'm actually going to have more than if I just had a small amount and incorporated it into a healthy diet.
00:09:45
Speaker
People will binge on it and have more than they really want or should have. The denial of access means that we want it more. Exactly. And even for those people who are really controlled, who managed to never have it, it's highly unlikely that it's not on their mind. And then we could call that a type of disordered eating behavior, or even in extreme cases, an eating disorder. So it's all about that overall view, you know, looking at that bird's eye view of your diet, you know,
00:10:11
Speaker
Is my overall diet healthy? Am I getting enough fibre? Am I getting my f fruit and veg, my proteins and things? Am I trying not to have lots and lots of processed foods? But can I also enjoy a pizza when I really want it or some chocolate without it being a big issue or without it taking a lot of space in my brain?
00:10:27
Speaker
What you're talking about is having a positive relationship with food. Exactly, yes. And I suspect that part of that is not just the eating of the food, but also where the relationship starts. So ah the way in which we buy food can impact our relationship
Shopping and Impulse Buys
00:10:45
Speaker
with food. If you are doing the weekly shop and going to the supermarket,
00:10:50
Speaker
Doing it whilst you've got an and empty stomach or you're feeling a little bit hungry probably means that you're going to buy more because your body is telling you that you need food. Definitely. If you go with a more of a full stomach, you probably won't be tempted by those quick hits of high carb, high fat ah products. They won't make their way into the into the trolley.
00:11:11
Speaker
Definitely. And I'm sure we all have lived experience of that. If you go to the supermarket to do your weekly shop or whatever, whilst you're hungry and you haven't had lunch yet, you do tend to just shove random things in your trolley, things that weren't on your list, things that maybe you wouldn't even normally buy.
00:11:26
Speaker
Whereas if you go and you let's say you go the same day, but just after you've had lunch, so you're feeling pretty satisfied, you're much more likely to stick to the list you had, you might and add in a few other things. But you're less likely to be as kind of impulsive with it.
00:11:39
Speaker
You're going to be more logical. You're thinking more with your brain rather than your your stomach and those hunger hormones um at that time. So that's why it is really important as much as we can to try and kind of plan around when we're going to the supermarket, not go when we're really hungry. So ideally after a meal would be a good time to go and kind of really pre-planning and making that list.
00:12:00
Speaker
It's a lot to do with advertising and marketing, why we do end up doing that when we go to the supermarket hungry. And it's because of the placement of all these things. So things by the till, chocolate and things usually by the till or buy one, get one free on crisps at the end of the aisle with big signs next to it. So.
00:12:17
Speaker
It's to do with ourselves, but it is also our environment as well. If we shouldn't do our weekly shop whilst we're hungry, we shouldn't actually, when we're going to work and at work, be then going out and buying our lunch just before we eat it. Whether that's going to a sandwich shop, a takeaway or to a restaurant, it's the same situation,
Meal Planning Strategies
00:12:39
Speaker
isn't it?
00:12:39
Speaker
Yeah. You're buying food whilst you are hungry. And there's an awful lot of logic to that. But if you are buying food when you are hungry to be eaten within the next half an hour, you are more likely to be tempted by the high carb, high fat products as well as the product that you went into the sandwich shop to buy.
00:13:00
Speaker
Definitely. And we can think of that in terms of our health force, our bank account, we're probably more likely to spend more money in there as well. Best option for that would be, let's say you're going to work on a day and you haven't had time to pre make a lunch, you've been too busy, and you know, you're going to buy yourself a meal deal or a salad or whatever for your lunch that day, the best way to avoid that would actually be to buy it on the way to work.
00:13:23
Speaker
So you're buying your lunch ready for later in the day. So we're not making those impulse decisions. And we can try and think with our more logical brain rather than our stomach at lunchtime. So it also usually means the shop's going to be less busy and you have more options as well, because we all know if you go too late to don't have as many options. So It helps in that way as well. But yeah, that would be my kind of advice there. It would be on your way to work, stop at that place you were planning to get lunch from and pick it out for later and and pop it into the fridge so we don't have that issue at lunchtime. Yeah.
00:13:54
Speaker
And of course, then you can use your lunch hour however long you have at lunchtime to go for a walk. For example, you can do something that isn't retail related, but something that is also going to help with your health and fitness.
00:14:09
Speaker
Exactly. And it gives you more of that break at lunchtime to enjoy it. And as you said, whether that's going for a walk or going to find someone nice to go and eat your lunch, it's a much better use. And as I said, it will probably be quicker in the morning popping into that shop because they don't tend to be as busy at that time anyway.
00:14:25
Speaker
There's a lot of things around this that involve planning. If you plan what you're going to eat before you're going to eat it, you will save money. You'll be potentially having a more logical diet because you won't be doing things on impulse to compensate for what you're feeling in terms of hunger and the need for food. Your diet will be more logical. Find it easier, I suppose, in that way to have more variety in your diet as well.
00:14:53
Speaker
Definitely. And we're not talking planning the whole week ahead, but even as we said, then the, in the morning rather than at lunchtime or just the night before, don't have to plan really far in advance, but any extra planning we can put in, as you said, you know, it can save us money, time actually on the day as well, and increase that variety in our diet. And hopefully we're having something more nutritious, but then also keeps us feeling fuller for longer as well. So There's lots of benefits. It's not just about health, but lots of other things we can gain from planning ahead of it as well.
00:15:24
Speaker
Yes. Research that I have seen is that the average person who buys a sandwich for their lunch will buy the same sandwich from the same shop every working day. Yeah. And I think a lot of us do that. And sometimes we even see that they might have a new option and we think, oh, do I go for that one? What if I don't like it as much? No, I'll just stick with the one I know I really like.
00:15:44
Speaker
And yeah, you're right, that means we we don't have as much variety in our diets. That's something we could all do with, you know, getting more of, you know, you can't have too much variety. Because if you don't have the variety, your gut gets used to what what you are eating and you're not then using the full functionality of your digestive system because it's just dealing with the same products all over, every day.
00:16:05
Speaker
Exactly. And, you know, we're hearing a lot more about the kind of gut health and the gut microbiome and we know now it's so important not just for our digestive health, but that it affects our mental health as well. So some of our serotonin is produced in the gut as well.
00:16:20
Speaker
Also, a lot of our immune system is housed in the gut as well. So there's lots of reasons we need to be kind of nurturing and feeding our gut bacteria. And by having that variety, we do that. But not only by having variety do we feed the gut bacteria, but we're also making sure we get all of those different vitamins and minerals that we need.
00:16:38
Speaker
If we eat the same things all the time, we might be getting lots of certain vitamin and not so much of another one. So that's why we need that variety as well. Yes.
Variety for Gut Health
00:16:47
Speaker
The key thing is that we shouldn't buy food when we actually want to eat food, whether that's the weekly shop or for a meal.
00:16:56
Speaker
We shouldn't really be buying food when we are looking to eat it straight away. You're talking about planning our diet, almost sticking to a list so that we can make sure that we're getting ah range of different foods and balanced diet.
00:17:12
Speaker
If we can't actually prepare our food for whilst we're away from home, and prepare it at home for when we're away from home, we should buy the food before we actually need to eat it. So buy it on our way to work, not during our lunch hour.
00:17:28
Speaker
Keep it in the fridge, keep it fresh, and eat it that way so that Again, we're not buying food whilst we're looking to eat food. we We're able to do things more logically.
00:17:39
Speaker
We also need to have variety in our diet because that keeps our digestive system, I suppose, guessing as to what is going to happen next and has all sorts of benefits associated with that.
00:17:51
Speaker
I'm saying it and as I'm saying it, I'm thinking like this, ah this should be easy, but I know I'm as guilty as everybody else of having the same sandwich every day. Help me out, Storm. What are the easy ways to bring this variety into our diet? I really agree with you. I think we assume food is about fuel for the body, but it's also food for the mind as well. and through Eating the right foods in the right way can have an impact on our mental health.
00:18:19
Speaker
What are the easy ways do all the things that you're talking about? Give give me some hints. Help me out. Great option, I would say, is, you know, make the use of your freezer and your fridge space. So let's say, for example, I'm going to do some batch cooking and I made huge batch of bolognese with lots of different added vegetables and herbs and spices.
00:18:40
Speaker
That's got loads of kind of nutrients in there. But if I were to have that every day for the week, we' we're not going with that variety that we're talking about. i'm not getting that variety. So what I would suggest is you then freeze it in portions, for example.
00:18:53
Speaker
And then that way I can have it once this week, once next week, once the week after. know, I can vary it up. And if I do that with multiple different meals and I've got them in the freezer, all it takes you to do is take that portion out the night before, which does require you to remember to do that. So that can be the most difficult thing. And I'm definitely guilty of realizing in the morning that I've forgotten to take something out the freezer.
00:19:15
Speaker
um But to take something out the freezer and it's ready for the next day. And then all you have to do is you know, if it's something that's eaten hot is pop it in the microwave at work at lunchtime or add in your kind of whole wheat pasta to it.
00:19:27
Speaker
If we have lots of different options available in our freezer that we've already made, that just makes it so much easier for us. And even if we're only doing that for a couple of our meals in the week, and then another day we are going to our local sandwich shop or or salad place,
00:19:43
Speaker
Trying to just choose something different maybe every other time that we go ah making sure there's a variety of different fruits and vegetables maybe included in it. There's lots of different ways that we can increase that variety but I really do think that kind of batch cooking can be really really helpful. So we're almost making our own ready meals.
00:20:01
Speaker
Exactly. And that's why I say that the time in preparation can save you time on the day because I'm not going to be making five veg bolognese in the morning before I go to work for lunch. It's just not feasible.
00:20:15
Speaker
Whereas as if I've already made it the weekend, you know, maybe I eat it the day that I make it and then I've got a batch that's already in the freezer. It's really easy and you can use it for your evening meals as well. So when you do have that bit more time using it to help you on the days that you know you don't have as much time.
00:20:31
Speaker
It's almost going back to this idea that don't shop for food whilst you're hungry. Don't cook food whilst you are hungry. Cook it in advance. Freeze it.
00:20:42
Speaker
You have got essentially a ready meal in the same way as you might go to a supermarket. and buy a ready meal, you've created your own, but you've created it whilst you have not been thinking about eating it because you've not been hungry whilst you've been preparing it, which in the same sort of way as if you're shopping for food to eating straight away, you're more likely to be looking at high carb high fat things because you've got your body telling you i need fuel in the same way when you're cooking it in advance the ingredients that you'll be thinking about adding into your meal are possibly going to be or will be healthier because you won't be adding in the things your mind won't be telling you you're hungry i'm getting does that make sense am i right
00:21:29
Speaker
No, that it it does make sense. It makes perfect sense. And it's not to say that you should never cook whilst you're hungry. Or for example, you know, if we're going out to a restaurant, of course, we're choosing the food, you know, whilst we're hungry, and that's completely fine. But it's just about the majority of the time. So this batch cooking, for example, you know, I do usually eat whatever I've made that night whilst it's fresh.
00:21:49
Speaker
you're right, that's on a day where I have a lot more time. And then that day where it comes where i don't have as much time, whether it's for my lunch or my evening meal, maybe it's not what I would have reached for when I'm really busy and really hungry, but because it's already there and made in my freezer, it's the easy option and it's the cheaper option as well. Yes.
Social Influences on Eating
00:22:07
Speaker
Now, I want to talk about restaurants for a little bit because we are going to a restaurant to have a meal and we will be hungry when we're ordering that food. But as you were just explaining those sorts of things there, I'm thinking, what is the difference between buying food for me as an individual to eat by myself and buying food as part of a group going to a restaurant?
00:22:32
Speaker
And there's this part of me that thinks that actually because there are other people there in the restaurant eating with me, That social influence is more likely to make me want to make a sensible choice rather than if I'm in a restaurant or in a food shop by myself, I can order whatever I want.
00:22:52
Speaker
If you're eating alone, you'll order whatever you want. But if you're in that social setting, that somehow that will help to restrict what it is that you're going to be eating.
00:23:03
Speaker
Yeah, it can do. And I guess it depends who you're hanging out with at these meals, because, you know, if you've got other people who are of a similar mindset to you and really want to go all out, then you can also go for a meal with someone and you do go all out.
00:23:17
Speaker
um Equally, like you said, if you're maybe with a group, a larger group of friends and you don't know everyone as well, you might be more likely to restrain yourself a bit and not order as much or kind of see what other people are ordering and then order and what you're going to have.
00:23:31
Speaker
The reason I don't use restaurants in this kind of example is that I'm assuming that we're going out for a meal for for a reason where it's to enjoy it. It's not something we're necessarily doing on a daily basis.
00:23:45
Speaker
So it's not a place where I think we should be super concerned about what we're eating. We should be able to enjoy a meal out as part of a balanced diet in the same way i was talking about kind of cake and chocolate earlier.
00:23:57
Speaker
Yes, I like that that. You shouldn't be the person at the party who say, oh no, I don't want dessert or I can't have a slice of the birthday cake or have the slice of the birthday cake.
00:24:08
Speaker
Enjoy it, but incorporate it into the wider balanced diet that you are having so that over the day, the week, you have had a balanced diet, but you haven't had to restrict yourself or put yourself in an awkward situation by not actually participating in the social activity.
00:24:26
Speaker
Exactly. And I think most nutritionists you'll speak to, you know, we all often feel really judged because people expect you to have this absolutely perfect diet that you never eat sugar and you never, ever eat pre-made sandwich and, you you know, you never eat cake. But actually, the majority of us have a similar mindset to myself and that, you know, we try to do as much as we can.
00:24:49
Speaker
in our daily diet to you know enrich it as much as possible. And most of the time that actually comes from adding things rather than restricting, but equally, we all enjoy going out for a pizza or having the birthday cake. And most of us also love chocolate. So it is about that.
00:25:04
Speaker
As I said, that bird's eye view of, You know, am I incorporating enough fruit and veg? Am I getting enough fiber? But can I also enjoy a brownie? Yes, I can. And that's completely fine. Great stuff. I'm getting to like it. Somebody's listening and and wants to sort of review their nutrition and and perhaps have a conversation with you about how they could improve their diet.
