| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast. |
| 0:05.4 | Over the last few weeks, I have taken on a few one-to-one clients, four, to be exact. |
| 0:11.2 | And this isn't something that I do that often because I'm usually so focused on commit to six, |
| 0:16.0 | but I always like to keep sort of 10 to 12 one-to-one clients, partly so I don't miss it and partly so I just |
| 0:22.1 | don't stay out of touch, you know? So what's been quite interesting is that for a variety of |
| 0:28.6 | reasons, that I am about to tell you, I've actually put all of them on low or at least low-er |
| 0:35.1 | carb diets. I guess more to the point it's a low |
| 0:38.3 | starchy carb diet because I'm a big advocate of eating a lot of fruit and veg |
| 0:42.8 | which will likely put them over that kind of traditional 50 to 100 grams |
| 0:48.6 | for low carb kind of barrier. And so the reasons are as I said various I'm going to go through each of them. And so the reasons are, as I said, various. I'm going to go through each of them. |

| 1:21.6 | Mostly this is to manage hunger, which always ramps up during her previous fat loss attempts, |
| 1:28.9 | partly due to a cardiac focus, |
| 1:31.1 | but also knowing that lower carb diets tend to increase satiety. |
| 1:36.5 | This is probably going to be a very good approach. |
| 1:39.4 | The other reason I'm going to come on to a little bit later, |
| 1:41.8 | there's some research around PCOS, insulin |
| 1:45.0 | resistance and actually better body composition on lower carbohydrate diets. The second client that I took |
| 1:52.5 | on is pre-diabetic. We will be focusing on a very similar approach to the one I just described, |
| 1:59.6 | plus some conscious effort to walk after larger meals to improve glucose clearance rates. |
