6:29

mean it's still kind of beige so we're

6:31

in the english realm it's still uh it

6:33

still looks the right color so we'll

6:34

give it a go

6:35

but it's it's thicker than our small

6:37

thin ones yeah so let's say for example

6:38

scenario it's both your birthdays yeah

6:41

6:42

breakfast or like a really special

6:44

breakfast that you'd both have yeah

6:46

yeah style so we normally have pancakes

6:56

on my birthday you do nice and what do

6:58

you have on your crepe

6:59

so we have like we have like all our

7:01

toppings out like fruit yogurt golden

7:04

syrup chocolate spread

7:07

and sometimes we just have butter as

7:08

well so we have like a whole like

7:10

assortment nice fry up yeah what does

7:12

that consist of sausages loads of eggs

7:15

bacon

7:16

uh

7:17

tomatoes a couple of mushrooms yeah if

7:20

i'm feeling really naughty i'll get

7:21

fried sliced as well

7:23

what's a fried slice so like basically

7:26

like toast but i don't even know you do

7:27

it i get a girlfriend to do it you just

7:29

fry it in butter or oil and then it's

7:31

just the most unhealthiest thing you'd

7:32

probably ever eat is this is it

7:34

something's a french toast similar to

7:35

similar to french toast but um ideally

7:38

it's not it's not sweet like french

7:39

toast and any sauces to go if you fry up

7:42

probably just ketchup bit boring no

7:44

brown sauce uh

7:47

sometimes sometimes i'd rather catch up

7:49

though do you have

7:51

like a naughty breakfast

7:55

so yeah that'd be a fry up usually with

7:58

friends friends have been staying or if

8:00

i go away for the weekend okay you're

8:02

cooking it or someone else

8:04

mail them and then tell what does your

8:06

frap consist of because there's some

8:08

variations right okay

8:10

bacon mushrooms egg

8:13

usually

8:15

okay that's quite that's not like your

8:16

yeah when you get well that's quite a

8:18

civilized dish isn't it imagine when you

8:20

go to yours in a restaurant yeah or in a

8:22

little uh

8:23

cafe or something i'm sure it's pretty

8:25

substantial uh sausage bacon chips and

8:27

beans chips chips and beans yes

8:31

nick we're discovering things about you

8:33

i know

8:35

it's a high calorie book

8:37

how about you what did you go for uh

8:40

probably a baking sandwich oh yeah if

8:42

i'm having something special yeah how do

8:44

you have your bacon crispy really

8:47

they're crispy yeah

8:49

uh what sauce chef on it if anything

8:51

tomato

8:52

yeah

8:55

[Laughter]

8:58

and how did you learn

9:00

gather information about intermittent

9:01

fasting well i'm a pt as well as a

9:03

support worker so i train a lot of

9:05

clients and i've done a lot of like

9:07

delving into healthy diets and nutrition

9:09

and the benefits of intermittent fasting

9:11

this is the one i believe so i believe

9:13

it works how long do you do uh it's

9:15

usually a sixteen eight

9:17

right so 16 hours what time do you stop

9:19

eating then oh well around seven or

9:21

eight o'clock in the evening and then

9:22

you and then you stop but the good thing

9:24

is halfway through those hours

9:26

or during the night time so you've

9:28

already gained eight or nine hours just

9:29

by sleeping and then you get up and then

9:31

you're meant to just have water really

9:32

or black coffee yeah yeah and then come

9:35

come midday one two o'clock that's when

9:36

you can stuff your calories

9:38

absolutely not eat what you want eat

9:40

quite well but get your calories in in

9:42

that short period of time up to around

9:44

seven so it's not too bad and then what

9:46

what are your thoughts on um

9:48

a big thing that's in vogue is like this

9:51

intermittent fasting and skipping

9:52

breakfast all together yeah well my

9:54

girlfriend did that this morning over

9:55

there

9:56

yeah it's it's fine for her it's the the

9:58

other side coping with that you know and

10:00

sitting in the food slot either side

10:02

hopefully she's out of shot here so she

10:04

won't be able to hear me have you not

10:06

thought about giving it a go then

10:08

uh i'm awfully routine like that i think

10:10

as a teacher it's sort of you know when

10:12

you get to certain slots in the day

10:14

i could i could eat every hour to be

10:15

honest so

10:16

uh off at like 9 00 am do you suppose no

10:19

exactly right
