Shocking news for Paddy & Belinda gets real 😲 [S2E12]

This week marks one full year since Paddy took his very dose of weight loss medication (Mounjaro) —and what a year it’s been. In this powerful, insightful, and occasionally outrageous episode, Paddy opens up about the emotional and physical milestones of his 100+ lb weight loss journey, including a jaw-dropping discovery from his recent metabolic test.

Meanwhile, Belinda shares a vulnerable and reflective update of her own. After feeling stuck in her weight loss, she experiments with fasting—not for restriction but for reconnection—using her fasting app to simply ask, “Am I actually hungry?” What she found might surprise you.

Together, they dive deep into:

• What a year of GLP-1 medication really looks like—beyond the scales

• Why most calorie calculators are misleading, especially for long-term dieters

• The science (and frustration) of metabolic adaptation

• Why hunger cues matter—and how Belinda’s bread habit made a sneaky comeback

• The ongoing mindset work behind sustainable change

• Why community support matters more than ever in the noisy GLP-1 space

There’s also a healthy dose of laughs, podcast plans, and a gentle reminder that this journey—though personal—is never walked alone.

(00:00):
None of this conversation shouldbe taken as medical advice for
you. Before starting or changing any
medical or Wellness treatment, always consult your GP and
medical care team. Sure, Belinda, How could you be

(00:29):
in a bad mood when you have a nice theme tune like that?
I love it, Paddy. You love it?
Yeah, you love it. I'm trying to play it a
different way so I didn't know if that was going to work.
How are we not a top listened topodcast in Ireland?
Yes, that's what I don't understand with that theme.

(00:51):
I know with the team alone, not even.
The reminder content. Just listen to the theme.
But when you put it all together, like the whole
package, the theme, our faces, our brains.
Yeah, it's a bit bit bit shallowthere put into her things.
How are you doing? So good, Paddy, how are you

(01:14):
doing? Yeah, so good.
Good, good. I'm, I'm kind of like, like it's
a nice evening here at the moment.
Yeah, it's lovely here as well. I just hung out some washing.
It went from torrential rain to,I don't know, sunshine, and I'm
right off. I'm right off the back of a
stomach bug. So I'm delighted with myself.

(01:37):
The scales move. I was lying in the bed yesterday
and all I could do was half cry and then half think, Could think
to myself this better fix my life.
Oh my God, I'm listening to a brilliant podcast.
A true. I can't remember if I mentioned

(01:57):
this on the on the our podcast before, but Mushroom Case daily
from. Oh, yes, I listened to it.
Yeah, you get. You told me about it.
It's so. Good.
Yeah, Yeah, that's fascinating. And it literally is all about
this woman and Patterson, Yeah, who is allegedly charged with or
charged with allegedly murdering3 people and the attempted

(02:20):
murder. Laws.
Yeah, of another person with themurder weapon being a beef
Wellington that has toxic mushrooms in a death cap
mushrooms as they call it. And it's fascinating.
So, yeah, so I'm glad that you had a positive experience of
your gastro thing because not everyone does.
I was delighted. Now, just let me mention quickly

(02:43):
as well, there's another podcastthat I've been listening to and
it is by Tortoise, and it's called Lucky Boy, and it's about
a boy who was in school when he was 14 and had an affair with
his teacher and then later came to the realization that it was,
you know, grooming. Oh OK.

(03:03):
Hmm, that took a turn at the end.
I was going to say that sounds abit, umm, Canadian.
Is it Canadian? No, no, it's British.
No, no, but eh, who's it was this Macron that ended up being
with his former teacher? Yes, that's his wife.
Something like that. He's.
The president. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(03:24):
He's also gorgeous. So I'm not, I'm not great at
politics and stuff like that, you know, and.
Hardly. I I feel I'm not actually it was
one things even like I did my degree in media shock horror,
you wouldn't think it. Sensing A trend?
Yeah. One of the modules that I had to

(03:46):
study was politics and I was crap at it.
Like really, really like to the extent where I said like to the
lecturer Isaac, look at I'm not coming to class because I don't
like it. I'm coming because I just hate
this topic and so. Is it because you hated the
topic then? Umm, it wasn't because you
couldn't learn about it. If you needed to, you could.

(04:07):
We can all learn. Yeah, No, I didn't.
Like the top? Yeah, I have no.
Interest in politics? Yeah, at all.
I don't either, No. I know everyone.
I know they say everyone has a certain element of interest.
If you have an opinion on this, that or the other, like, you
know, we talk about healthcare, for example, Do you know a lot?
And people will talk about, well, that's politics, but yeah,
So. Yeah.

(04:27):
Anyway, get involved in all the things all the time, you know.
This is not a party political broadcast.
Umm, yes, I do. I just want to say, uh, welcome
to all the listeners that have joined us over the past kind of
month or two in particular because, uh, we've seen quite a
surge in the amount of people that are listening to us and,
uh, well. Love an old Surge?
Yeah, and thanks. For listening, guys, Thanks.

(04:50):
We really appreciate it. Yeah.
And if you could just leave a positive five star review
wherever you listen to your podcast, that would be amazing.
Yeah. And for anything less than five
star, just you can leave that onthe podcast beneath us.
Whatever. Yes, whoever that is, Yes,
sorry, Whoever is beneath us in the podcast, actually above us,
because then that'll move them down.
What's been going on in life blended like, I feel there's

(05:11):
been a lot of stuff going on. It's been a busy few days, busy
few weeks. We've done so much talking about
so many different things. I think our WhatsApp voice notes
could be a podcast in their own right.
You know that. In itself, yeah.
Over the space of two days, definitely.
We'd be cancelled like within the first voice, not 3 minutes.
Yeah, definitely. Well, three minutes are short
for a voice note from You Do. You ever get some so busy and

(05:34):
then you sit down and try and think about it and then you
don't know what what's happened,where the days have gone are so
do. You know what we're talking
about today. Uh, sure.
Yep. What?
What are we talking about today?We are talking about.
Have you know what's mesh? Nope.
OK, that's the podcast. Done.
Thanks buddy. Actually I haven't.

(05:58):
I haven't a notion. You don't?
No, you're just doing your usuallike rocking up and hoping that
we'll talk well. If we had a guest on, it would
be very different. I would have notes stuck all
over the window on the wall that's.
For me, opposites because I'm like, no, I you're.
The opposite, yeah. Yeah, I never do.
Yeah, I never do prep really forwhen guests are common because I
am like, I usually just want to take it where it goes and the

(06:21):
human interest side of things and just kind of be curious and
and stuff like that. But umm, I have spent the day
between chasing flies because we're into that season, which,
Oh my God. And nightmare.
I need to get some of those, thekind of the blue light things,
some of those sorry zappers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I need some of
those. And then trying to, umm,

On your life, OK journey. That's why we're here.
So OK so cracking on and the weekend was my one year

(12:12):
anniversary since I took my first ever dose of my
medication. Congratulations.
Yeah. And celebration.
No, no, no, no. We want to keep our listeners.
Umm, so. When was it say that?
Say that again. So it was one year at the
weekend since I took my first dose of medication.

(12:33):
Wowzer. And I still have.
The I was. Going to say I still have the
the bag that like the pharmacy give me my prescription in or
like my medicine in and I have like the pens still like I've
kept them all like everything. Yeah, yeah.

(12:53):
No, like, yeah. I recycled my Ozempic ones.
I recycled all those Nova Nordisk gave.
Oh yes, they had a collection. Yeah, Eli Lilly don't have to
offer this. Yeah, I just have them in a
container in the, umm, cupboard.Wondering what I'll ever do with
them. Yeah.
Congratulations though. So just to give the listeners an

(13:15):
update, Paddy, the day you started on your journey, what
was your weight coming into this?
Umm, so I had lost a little bit of weight for because remember I
went, oh, there's something elseI want to bring up later in the
podcast right there just taught us something.
Umm, I would have been about 300and 20 something pounds, which

(13:42):
would have been about, umm, not far off 23 stone.
And the reason I'm saying that is like I always go from when I
started my journey in mid-May, Iwas 336.4 lbs.
Then I lost a little bit of weight when I went back to the
slimming group and then I took my first dose of medication.

(14:03):
So I don't actually have the, I'm not sure what's up my head,
what my weight was the day I took my first dose.
Let's see if I have it in my app.
But yeah, so and. Now today, what would you wait
in at are the other day when you're on your one year
anniversary? 230 that's.
Epic. Yeah, like 100 year.

(14:24):
Yeah. Like it's, it's it, it get like
particularly when I sit and lookat photos of that period of
time. Like honestly, it gets me
emotional. Melinda, Like I know we've
touched on this before on some of the podcasts, but like, I
don't know what it is. It's usually like, say from
sitting in a coffee shop or sitting in like on the train or

(14:47):
stuff like that. And I just start looking back
over things. Or if I'm creating like some of
my reels or Tik Toks and I'm digging out old photos for use
in them or stuff like that, that's when it kind of hits me.
And if, Oh my God, do you know, and even today, I was talking to
a company just about like beforeand after pictures.
And I was kind of saying, well, there isn't an after picture yet
because it's still a a work in progress.

(15:08):
There's there'll soon be, hopefully in a few months and.
After. Yeah, but umm, it does get me
emotional sitting looking at thephotos.
Umm yeah, It's just crazy to think.
It was a wild, wild year though.Just.
Not just for your weight loss, but starting up a podcast, kind

(15:30):
of blowing up over on TikTok, helping so many people, opening
up your movement room, you know,and you've spoken on so many
podcasts. You've had so many people here
as well. You've been on the radio.
You've been on a documentary. Yeah, you've been on TV.
Like it's crazy, Paddy. It has been a crazy.
Year. Yeah.
Like in general, like I think when we think back like June of

(15:52):
last year, umm, you know, havingthat first meeting with a doctor
and kind of talking through things and, you know, the
options and seeing what was feasible or not.
Umm, and then getting to go ahead to start the medication
and like reading the leaflet. That's the thing with gases
tight in the room here, where I'm sitting now is where I took

(16:13):
my first dose actually. And I found a leaflet, uh,
because obviously it fell behindthe desk and I forgot about it,
but like I found the leaflet from then I read those
instructions like 20 times because I so nervous about doing
it wrong and like, Oh my God. So remember that day and I had
come home from a wedding and I took it a kind of midnight

(16:36):
because then it's like, oh, my day.
It could be Friday or Saturday. What is kind of day like silly
things you think? And then just feeling so cold
that weekend. Oh my God, Baltic.
And I've talked without a good but and then just just getting
used to what is fullness, what is hunger.

(16:57):
Then that leading into going to some concerts, going to Electric
Picnic and. Feeling like a different person.
Yeah, like, and like seeing how quickly the way it was kind of
coming off, which again, is not the norm, folks.
I always stress that for everyone.
And but again, I was in the gym like God, those first few months

(17:17):
I was in the gym like at least five days a week, at least 5
some days I was in there twice. Oh.
Because I was off work at that time and I had come back to work
and then I got made redundant and as well, like literally umm,
4 weeks after I started on my medication, I got made redundant

(17:39):
for my job from a day job and, and.
This journey on that medication is a bit of financial burden.
Absolutely, absolutely not. A good time to be, uh, made.
Redundant. No So like there was umm, if one
of those way like to be like, OKhere you can get like the next
three to six months worth of medication like or something
like that and just have it on standby to have, you know, but

(18:00):
obviously look at it's done month on month, but umm, yeah.
Then kind of EP then into kind of September and I started my
strength training and then Max, who I'm still training with.
Are you? Yeah yeah, yeah.
So we shifted from I shifted from like the cardio training
and the whole idea that cardio training at the start was more
so just to help me get me into the habit of actually going to

(18:23):
the gym again so regularly, you know, and then because I kind of
felt OK when I was that habit there of getting out and going,
then it can shift to the strength training.
That's a dead start working withMax went to one of his workshops
initially. And I've been looking for a
strength coach for ages and I'm really picky with stuff, like
really skeptical of people and stuff like that.
And went to a free workshop. Max Don.

(18:45):
I was like, I really like, I really like his, his approach,
really like the way his positionthis yeah, going to say him.
I remember asking him, are you doing anyone to and stuff?
And he's like, no, not at the moment.
I was like God damn it. And did he have classes?
No, no, no, no, nothing at that stage.
Umm, well, was. Was it his gym?
Then he was just. He was in a gym, so he, I like,
he was doing some classes in a gym, but not this kind of

(19:07):
strength stuff that I wanted. I wanted one of most strength
stuff. So, umm, yeah.
And then a few weeks after it's like, hey, I'm going to be
starting up. I was like, oh, brilliant, yes,
please sign me up. And then I had my first trip
away. Umm, not a holiday, umm, but it
was a trip over. To the UK was it?
Eh, before that I was out in Portugal, umm, and that was

(19:29):
interesting then just seeing what was it like in eating and
stuff. Like I say, I was still kind of
working on the day so it was a bit different thing.
Umm yeah. And then actually during that
period as well was when Katherine Thomas reached out to
see would I be interested in taking part in the documentary.
I was actually the August to seewould I be interested in taking
part in medical Catherine, umm, one day up in Dublin and like

(19:50):
was chatting to her for literally hours herself and
Judy, the producer, lovely chatsand like I was going in a little
bit of mind. OK, what's going to be the vibe
here? What's the you know what's not
for the taken? What's the angle?
Yeah, but I felt left, I left feeling really reassured and
welcomed and embraced by Catherine and by what, you know,

(20:12):
she was planning on that and and, you know, did some filming
then shortly after that and keptin touch with Path and during
that kind of period and bits andpieces.
Yeah. And then we kind of came up to
Christmas and then the new year and I had moved up to the
highest dose just before the endof the new year And, and by the

(20:32):
end of that, by the end of last year, I think I'd lost.
I am going to something like 6 stone is something, 6 stone
something. OK.
Yeah, and and then since. December.
From up until December, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's.
Crazy. Yeah, I know.

(20:53):
And then January last a little bit more than of course, I took
him off my medication because I was having my surgery and that
was a whole other thing where I quickly regained like, yeah, I
the septoplasty, no juicer, rhinoplasty, Yeah, no
septoplasty. They're different plasties,
yeah. And then coming off the
medication and quickly regaining15 lbs in like less than three

(21:17):
weeks, which really showed me itlike crazy, just crazy
craziness. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Madness and yeah, just kind of plot along.
Started a new job during that year as well and all that kind
of stuff. So.
So yeah, it's definitely been a world when, as you say, don't TV
stuff on the Late Late Show on the documentary, and it could be

(21:37):
the radio stuff and some print stuff.
So it definitely has been a whirlwind year.
So it. Has and the good guests that we
had on here as well. Yeah, the podcast, like, I mean,
what all started from that will be go live and then on
Instagram. You've been live on Instagram in
ages actually. And then, umm, when you

(21:58):
remember, I've been thinking about a podcast.
We've done a few lives, rememberthinking, yeah, I wonder, I'd
love to do a podcast, love to a podcast.
And then I was thinking, I want to Belinda want to do a podcast.
Does she even know what a podcast is?
And then you were, you said it first, you got in there first
and was like, we should do a podcast.
And I was like, it would be. Brilliant.
Yeah, and we are. Yeah.

(22:19):
And there's a guess. This is exactly what I was
thinking. And look at.
Lo and behold. Season 2, Yeah, heading into
season 3 now. Yeah, this is.
Having some epic guests lined upas well, Paddy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like this is episode.
Think what episode are we of this?
13. 12 Is this 12 or 13? 12 or 13 probably get about 15

(22:43):
will we? Yeah, we reckon that we're
probably going to have another after this one.
I'd say maybe another 2:00-ish, yeah.
Episode. So yeah, this is this #12 So
actually 3 because we're, we're going to try and meet up and Oh
yeah, that's right. For for the final episode.

(23:05):
Yeah. So that would be brilliant.
Yeah, we've another. Hopefully we'll have another
week of a guest and which we're waiting to confirm.
I've reached out this morning. So hopefully we'll have that
done and then maybe another. Obviously we've spoken about
this guests and we've talked about it and I have no clue who
you're talking about, but. Yeah, absolutely.
Of course. Yes, we you were even.
You were even on the e-mail to them this morning, Belinda.

(23:28):
I didn't watch it, I didn't see it, I didn't read that.
Oh, was it a Do the dose e-mail?No, I sent it to your e-mail.
How did you want it? This breath, Paddy, you were
loved, you were capable. She listens.
You were loved. You were capable.
She listens. I'm joking, of course.

(23:48):
I've seen it. Yeah, you're right.
Remember videos being recorded too?
Yeah. But yeah, so here we are now, 7
stone, 7 stone, 8 down. Umm.
And heading towards the target of.
Or do you not want to give yourself a target?
Umm, I would say like I'd say inin in about a stones time,

(24:16):
Linda, I'll be kind of right. Let's, let's, let's, let's think
it leaves off wanting to lose weight now and eh, see, what
does this look like, you know? Yeah, I'll reach that as well, I
think. Yeah.
Yeah, I'll go. I'll maybe go 3 lbs over my,
umm, what I want to lose, you know, I want to lose maybe 100

(24:38):
and 304 lbs. Yeah, umm, I have had a really
good week where I kind of took stock of what I've been doing
and had to look and dig deep into the reasons why my weight

(24:59):
hasn't been going down as well as ours, you know, consistently
as it should be. And I did a little experiment.
So I did on myself. No needles involved in this one.
I took. Should I tell you what it is?
Yeah, what it was. I took out my fasting app and I
dusted off the cobwebs and I thought to myself, start your

(25:22):
fasting app and stop it when youget really hungry, when you know
it's time to eat, your body tells.
Yeah, Yeah. And 20 hours later I stopped it
myself and decided to eat because I wasn't hungry in any
of that time, so therefore everystupid little tiny thing that
I'd been putting in my mouth during those hours of the days

(25:45):
previous wasn't needed. Yeah, yeah.
At all. So to get what did we say was to
get me to my. So umm, yeah, like like like
what I think we had said. 19/1 at the moment. 4 like 4 kilos.
So what he's going to do is I'm going to read out a little bit

(26:08):
off the message you sent me and a little bit of the reply I sent
you. Paddy is not bad, is it?
No. OK, go.
And you're like, I have 6K to go.
To get to that will be 100 lbs and now it's less than 6 kilos.
We've since established it's going to kill me, but I'm going
to make a massive effort. And yeah, I think you talked

(26:34):
about a number of weeks. You want to try and get that
done and yadda, yadda. And I just reply back, look at
you got this. Just keep in mind your body does
not work in seven days cycles. And 6K at our stage in our
journey is a lot. I've only lost that since
December, January, which, yeah, I think I've lost just over that
since since kind of December, January time myself.

(26:55):
Umm, but you can focus on choices on nutrition.
Remember, 90% of your weight loss will always come back to
nutrition. Making those difficult choices
to support your body with the nourishment as opposed to the
niceties, Saying no to some things you might actually want,
uh, prioritizing health. Reflect on why you started.
You absolutely can do this. We can do this.

(27:15):
The race is almost over. Or on the final lap.
That was my advice. Question so good, but you're
right, Paddy, like you're dead right.
We're nearly there and sometimesI feel tired because I've been
at this for nearly three years and state trying to stay
consistent for three years and absolutely like never given up.

(27:38):
I've never given up. This is the first time in my
life that I've never given up onumm, something that's going to
give me health, longevity, You know, a better outcome for
perimenopause, a better outcome for menopause, a better outcome
from inflammation and your body,a better outcome for my brain.

(28:00):
You know my. And so like what are what are
the things that you think you need to focus more on or tighten
up? On OK Nutrition.
And I think. And it's not even, you know
what, Paddy? Sorry, it's not even the
nutrition like my say, my lunch or my dinner.

(28:23):
I know exactly what I'm eating. I have it down to a tea.
I know exactly what's in the fridge, what's available to me.
I know my proteins and whatever my fibres, but I found myself
falling back into old habits. So those, it's those little
habits that need to be pulled back.
It's not really the nutrition itself.

(28:44):
Yeah, yeah. And I think it's about like,
say, for example, I know I'm going out for dinner this
Thursday and I'm going out next Thursday.
I would never have two weeks in a row where I'm going out for
dinner. But it's just so happens the way
the week is. So like I already know kind of
where I'm going, what kind of food is going to be there and
stuff like that. So I'm trying to not overanalyze

(29:06):
it, but just be. Make better choices.
Give yourself opportunity. Thanks, thankfully both place
we're going, one of them is umm,a BBQ night.
So it's going to be a lot of protein, proteins will be very
easy to get. And then the following week is a
burger place. So again, and I know that they
do the burgers in the salads if you get me, like the bun less

(29:26):
burger. So I so I'm not stressing too
much about it, but I think it's also a case of.
You shouldn't stress about even not having the bun or whatever.
But this is, this is exactly what it's going to say to you is
that we shouldn't be at a stage whereby we're still having to
really think about, you know, the food and what we're doing.

(29:47):
However, everybody's human and everybody would have good weeks
or bad weeks, whatever way you want to call it, regardless of
what journey you're on, even if you're not trying to lose
weight. People live days or weeks or
even months or like, oh God, I just haven't been making the
right choice than that. But what it does hone in on is
that I think for people that areon this journey like us, there
is effort that's needed. It's not just a medication that

(30:11):
does the work. There is a lot of effort that's
needed in terms of for some people that will be education or
re education about the right food choices or about movement
or for a lot of us, keeping it in our mind about the behaviors
and habits that we need to work on or that we need to remember
and the decisions that we need to make and why.

(30:33):
And I think that's the bit when I look in some of the Facebook
groups and stuff like that, thatI'm in like, it's so God worked
up with myself because I want tobe able, you know what I'm like
that I want to be able to reply to every single person.
When I see someone there, Oh God, Like when I see something
in a message like on, I'm not doing any exercise and not

(30:53):
really focus on the food. I'm just kind of doing, you
know, just taking the medication.
Like, Oh my God, you're not giving yourself the best chance
and you're probably wasting money actually, because you're
not giving the medication even the, the best chance.
And then I see people like, Oh, I'm on this tools for like 2
months into my journey and not seeing it.
And it's like, OK, well, you know what, there's like there's
oh, I just, I just wish there was more.

(31:16):
And I think like, obviously we are our platforms, we try and,
and get that messed across aboutthe amount of effort that is
still needed. And but one of those biggest
efforts aside from nutrition, because that's obviously where
the big change is going to come from, is that mindset bit and
really understanding your habitsand your behaviours.
Because just because you're on amedication doesn't suddenly mean

(31:37):
that you know, those lunchtime treats that you've had for
years, you know the one for themisn't going to go away.
The hunger might go, but the psychological habit and
behaviour of wanting to go for them and still be there and you
really need to clean. Into that isn't ever going to be
as good for them, but it will. It does take time just to get
the Hab to kick the habits. Yeah, you know.

(31:59):
Yeah. I don't know, Patty.
We'll just keep shouting as loudas we can and help them as many
people as we can. I think you know.
But yeah, yeah. You know, and unfortunately
we're up against millions of TikTokers and people on Instagram
that are screaming and shouting about, you know, look what I can
eat on mum and Jaro and I can eat this and I can eat that or

(32:20):
on whatever and I can eat that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, it's tough like. Yeah, it is.
No, I agree. Or you'll have crazy eh UK
personal trainer was on shoutingabout how they got like
illegitimate medicines from Germany or somewhere and and try
to mess with them and Oh my God like.

(32:42):
Professionals like professionalsdoing that, Patty, that's what
you're up against, you know? Well.
Professional. They can call themselves
professionals, can't they? Yeah, umm.
You know. So you know what it's like we
both like going out for a meal. I'm have the odd drink or stuff

(33:03):
like that. How, what do you think is going
to be different now, Belinda? Like in terms of you've thought
about how you're going to hold yourself accountable to things
that you want to do? Umm, to get past the, to get
over the six KG I am going to use my fasting app, but not use

(33:24):
it, uh, in like a torturous tormenting myself way.
Use it to see when do I get hungry?
When should I be eating? You know, rather than like I
make these lovely protein bowls and I was eating them when I
wasn't hungry so I could space out, like because I thought I

(33:46):
should be eating, you know. And like, as I said, Paddy, I'm
on this journey nearly three years and I'm still goddamn
learning. I don't know everything, you
know? And like, even Sean said to me,
like, I've noticed you've eaten bread this past two weeks.
You haven't eaten bread in 2 1/2years, Belinda.
Like what's what's going on? And my life was bread.
If if you had caught me, I wouldhave bled bread at one stage,

(34:08):
you know, it was so bad. Umm, but yeah.
And then I thought, Christ almighty, if he's feckin
noticing then I must be eating alot of like I wasn't paying
attention, but I was never hungry.
Putting those things in my mouth.
I'm never hungry at all. So.
And it comes back to, comes backto that whole thing we spoke
about before as well. Uh, you know of can you out eat

(34:28):
essentially medication if you'reon medication and it.
Wasn't you can do that, but I wasn't doing it.
I was eating little, not enough to kind of make me go.
Oh my God, yeah. So full.
Yeah. But all those little things do
add up. You know, I think for me
nutritionally at the moment is trying to focus on my protein

(34:51):
intake. And again, like I've no protein
inside out. I've no issues knowing what
protein is and for together all that kind of stuff.
And again, it's just about trying to remember to, to get
protein in because, umm, I definitely think I, I should be
getting more and I know I shouldbe getting more in than I am at
the moment. Yeah.
And it's about balancing that with, OK, but when your appetite

(35:14):
is somewhat suppressed, but you still need to get the protein in
and that's where the effort is. That's that's where the Paddy.
But this is where the planning comes in.
In terms of OK, I have found themore that I try and wing at
nutritionally day-to-day, that'swhere some of the poor decisions
can come in nutritionally. Yeah, 100%.
Yeah, yeah. But you see, I was on the other

(35:36):
spectrum. I was trying to because I, well,
I say I only eat twice a day. That's kind of what I tried to
do most days, but I was eaten too much I think.
Hmm. Trying to get that protein level
as high as I could. Yes, yeah, if I if I'm making.

(35:56):
Sense. The the other thing is though,
and this is something I was thinking about yesterday, is
that like you do have to have real talk with yourself.
I'm talking with me now in termsof things because if I'm sitting
here thinking, oh God, I'm struggling, say to get 100 grams
of protein in or 120 or 100, whatever it is, grams of
protein, say somebody on 100 grams of protein, right?

(36:17):
That's 400 calories I. Know.
And OK, yes, there'll be other calories from the food that the
proteins in and that, but umm, yeah, it's, it's when I think
you actually have real talk withyourself.
Like, am I saying that I'm struggling to get 400 calories?
And probably not. It's more so about where am I
choosing to get my food from at the moment, you know?

(36:40):
Yeah, your color, your protein sources, what are they?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you mentioned a point there,
which is a really nice segue, fancy word and about what you're
eating, the calories your body needs and stuff like that.
So there is one of the first things people normally do and

(37:02):
start any diet or, uh, even, I see it mentioned daily on pretty
much every single group that I'min.
Uh, for folks that are on a, a medicator weight loss journey as
well is when folks are starting out.
I've done me calorie calculator and it tells me I need X amount
of calories. Oh.
I know what we're talking about now.
Yes, so which is so scary, yeah.So when I and this the Calor

(37:28):
calc calculators online and I have always said to people like
us that have a pattern, a history, a life of dieting and
regaining and stuff like that, these calculators are not going
to be effective for you. They're not going to be
personalized enough for you, forsay a general population that is

(37:49):
not living with overweight or obesity and has not lived a life
of dieting, yes, they will be somewhat accurate.
But for those of us that are living in that space, umm, they
will not be accurate. So this is something I wanted to
test for for a long time. Umm, everybody will probably
have heard of like your metabolic rate, umm, which is

(38:11):
basically the amount of energy, IE calories that your body needs
to just be. So you'll have your resting
metabolic rate, which will be for you to just wake up and just
like not not work out. And that just to wake up and be
how many calories do you need? And then you'll have other
calculations that will factor in, well, how active are you
and, and all this kind of stuff to give you an idea of your
calories. And then you'll hear this thing

(38:32):
of, oh, we'll take 500 calories of that.
And that's your goal. I, I personally would not
prescribe that. It needs to be more personalized
and individual for people. Umm, so I did my calculator
online and it came out at my resting metabolic rate was
coming out at 2150, right? So what that was saying was, and

(38:58):
there's going to be a little bitof science on this and I want
folks try and bear with me because this is really
interesting. So it was telling me for just to
wake up and to just be right, not really move, not to
anything. My body would need 2150 calories
to just survive. OK, Obviously that would
increase based on, uh, factoringand exercise and movement and

(39:19):
all that kind of stuff. That might add another original
1000 calories or so, but just your resting metabolic rate now.
So somebody could look at that, OK, or look at the calculation
factoring in their movement and they could write, OK, I'm going
to take maybe a few 100 caloriesoff that.
So I might take, uh, even say onthe low side, I'll take say
maybe 300 calories and that I don't go too extreme.

(39:40):
So that might bring me down to say maybe 1800 calories or
something like that. OK, this is, this is usual what
people will do. And, and you could think I'm
doing good, I'm doing the right thing.
I'm eating less calories than what the calculator has told me.
And by all intents and purposes,you are doing the right thing.
You're trying to be good. You are doing what you think you
should be doing. So this is the effort you're.

(40:01):
Doing. You're making the effort.
You're doing the thing there wasa test done or a trial done a
few years ago and with former contestants from the Biggest
Loser TV show in the United States.
I did a reel on on this on my social media, but essentially
they tested this idea of what was the contestants resting

(40:25):
metabolic rate after, kind of during the biggest loser after
the biggest loser and then yearsafterwards to see umm, how it
had adjusted or where was it at.And I was very curious to see is
this going to apply to me as well as a former contestant on
the biggest loser. Umm, and not even that anyone

(40:46):
in, in that kind of weight loss space.
So I went and got my resting metabolic rate tested OK there
two weeks ago and we were chatting.
It was really, really, really insightful, really useful.
So the chat that I was with umm,he said he's like, I'd probably

(41:06):
guess you're resting my bottle. Great.
It's probably going to be like 2200.
I was like, OK, umm, and this was, I guess, you know, we
without a a, if he was to take acarbon copy of me, but carbon
copy of me that hadn't engaged with dieting and all that all
through the years, he said about2200 calories.
That's probably what I'd. Say right, OK, so he's just,
he's just looking at you not knowing your history.

(41:28):
So, yeah, so if if you were to exclude my history and look at
me, my height, my weight, that kind of stuff, yeah, he probably
guessed about 2200. I said yeah, I said the
calculator is coming out of 2150.
So pretty much banned on what a calculator would tell me as
well. And he's what do you think it
is? And I was like, honestly, I
don't know. I said less than that, though
less than that. I would reckon maybe 1800 is

(41:50):
what my my metabolic rated because I'm sure there'll be
some change to it. This is where the idea of
metabolic adaptation comes in and the idea that your body
adjusts, umm, when you have it in reduced calorie and period
for periods of time, your, your,your body will literally adjust
and it's kind of like, hey, you're not giving me the full

(42:12):
kind of calories that I need. Therefore I'm going to adjust
and be able to adapt on this. And this is where you can see
plateaus and all this kind of stuff as well, because your body
is adjusting to what you're doing.
Your body is extremely clever and will do everything it can to
try and maintain what it deems as safe and normal.
Right. So we did the testing and he was

(42:34):
like, so you reckon that you might be about 1800?
I was like, yeah, I reckon about1800.
So bear in mind both he and the calculator guessed around 2200
as being my metabolic rate. My actual real metabolic rate
for what my body needs to just wake up and survive is just over

(42:57):
1300 calories. So now, and the reason why this
is important is if I had done that calculator and gone by the
calculator and even took some calories off that, I would still
be overeating, not losing weightuntil very likely gaining weight

(43:18):
going by the calculator. Yeah.
And This is why for folks that have histories like ours, you
need such a nuanced and personalapproach to the, the, the kind
of data points you're looking at, the tools you're using, the
ER experts you're kind of leaning on and stuff like that,
that you can't just go to one-size-fits-all or one tool
fits all or anything like that. It is not like that for us.

(43:40):
I know it's something blind. I'm encouraging you to do as
well. I've been trying to get you to
go and get similar. Tests somewhere in Tipperary,
yeah. Yeah, I think we're really
interesting. Umm.
Yeah. So I think, I think that also
draws then on the whole comparison thing.
Oh. Absolutely.
You know, absolutely. I kind of covered that today in

(44:01):
my coaching with the girls in mysubscription group and just,
we're just coming off the back of exactly what you've said.
You absolutely under any circumstances, even if you start
out your journey with somebody that's, uh, the same as the
carbon copy of myself, but I've had 30 years of restriction,
relapse, regain 100 times over. But that other person could be

(44:25):
coming in and have never done this before and they have the
best, you know, best start aheadof me because I've wrecked
everything because my body has just had to work triply
quadruple heart. Yeah, Yeah.
To just survive, you know, because of all the the 3RS as I
call it, Yeah. Yeah.
And like, again, this is me. The test was done via the kind

(44:49):
of clinical standard that is done for testing metabolic rate.
Like, you know, so it's the proper way that I'm, you know, I
love my dad. I'm trying to get things done as
right as I can. Umm, So yeah.
And this is something that like not even a DEXA scan will show
you because again, a DEXA scan is going to use your weight,
your height, all that kind of stuff and do a calculation.
Are you going for another DEXA scan Paddy?
Because. You've already had the summer
yeah yeah I've often over the summer yeah so I've had to I'll

(45:09):
have another one over the summerI'm not expecting a huge amount
from that because my weight losshas been umm much slower this
year and but that's fine I'm ground with that it's more so
just keep data points for myselfyeah yeah umm, but yes so that
was so the next stage then is obviously see right.
What can I try and do to increase, umm, my metabolic rate

(45:29):
and to try and, and see what opportunities do I have to get
that a bit higher? And so that is something that we
will probably dig into in a future podcast because I think
will be really interesting for people to talk with that.
And I'd love to get like a metabolic specialist on with us
to chat about that as well. But yes, so that was one of the

(45:50):
big kind of, it's very few things that make me go wow on
this journey. And that was one of the things
that really was like, Oh my God,I did not expect that.
It's actually scary, isn't it, when you think about all of our
eggs in one little egg basket. Yeah.

(46:12):
Of an app telling us and the apphaving absolutely no idea of
what, what our bodies are like. You know, it's just such a
generalization, isn't? It it's, it's like my body
almost almost needs 1000 calories less and wash it's
adapted to to survive on like almost 1000 calories less than

(46:35):
what the online calculator wouldtell me.
But if you weren't on this medication, right?
Just because your body is survive, it needs to survive on
1000 calories less doesn't mean you're any less hungry.
In fact, you'll probably be morehungry.
Absolutely. Which is which is why?
Yeah. But this is the thing that like

(46:55):
I think the medication obviouslyhappened with the biological
side of things. There is, you know.
The hormones and stuff. Yeah, there's, and like there's
other medications that are in the works and have other effects
and I'm sure they'll find other things about how the medication
impacts metabolism specifically and stuff like that.
But umm, yeah, definitely the past year would not have I, I

(47:16):
wouldn't be sitting here now 7 stone, 8 down, you know, if, if
I, if I hadn't reached out and sought options, umm, this time.
Advocated for yourself. Yeah.
And again, you know, that's for some people that might be
medicated for some people, it's not medicated for some people,
it might be looking at surgery. It's it's about really just
opening up that discussion, umm,with your kind of doctor,

(47:39):
prescriber or whatever and just just kind of talking about look
at what's, what's the options? I mean, again, because The thing
is there's some people as you'rejust saying there that maybe the
right route for them will be education, that maybe it's, you
know, they're like, you know what?
My just educational awareness isreally, really low.
I recently finished my PrecisionNutrition coaching, something
I've been trying to do for yearsas well.

(48:00):
And Precision Nutrition is one of like the leading global
educators in nutrition and umm, a big part about that is as well
when you're looking at coaching people as what's the actual
level of kind of awareness in relation to nutrition and
movement and stuff like that. So because you.
Could be telling you could be trying to teach these people and
their yeah, knowledge could be in the bin, you know?

(48:22):
Yeah, well, they, I think it's also a thing off, you know, I,
I'm still off the mindset that you don't just jump straight to
a medication that you need to understand the profile of that
person and what efforts have they made and how is their body
responded to those to get a trueunderstanding of, of what their
journey has been like, you know,umm, but yeah, so that was, that

(48:43):
was umm, metabolic testing and stuff for me, which was a huge
eye opener for me. Very scary.
Scary. You know, you think you're doing
the right thing, you think you're swimming along and yeah,
all of a sudden, bang Paddy comes along, does a test and
tells everybody they're wrong and they've been doing it wrong
for years. Well done though.

(49:04):
Well done. Yeah, just about creating that
awareness. And I say the more you know
about your body, you know, hopefully the more informed you
can be on on what's the right route and choices.
Actually, yeah. And you know, The thing is as
well there's you should always trust your gush in those
circumstances as well when you are being given advice.

(49:24):
Sometimes the advice that you'regiven might not necessarily be
the right, you know. I mean, at one stage Paddy, I
was told wasn't I, that if I, that I had reached my set point,
my body had reached the point where I wouldn't lose any more
weight and that my next umm option was gastric, umm,

(49:47):
surgery. But like that was back when I
was on, I was on pick and Monjaro was fully available to
me. You know, so always advocate.
For yourself weight loss. Since of course I have.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think this is where like,
and I know on our hands off here, we speak a lot about this

(50:08):
and we're all fair for, for various reasons, but umm, I just
wondered why something like thatwould be said without doing
something like, well, let's testthis person's metabolic rate or
let's see if they're a responderto this or let's, you know, do
an intense review. If they're a nutritional
profile, they're movement. But all that can before, you
know, jumping to that kind of potential conclusion.

(50:29):
Jumping to the most drastic. Yeah.
Conclusion, you know, so that's just a warning for everybody
that, you know, always get a second opinion.
Always trust your gosh. Yeah, and just.
Chop around. Just try and be as informed as
you can about your options. Yeah, yeah.
You know, and yeah, no, definitely.

(50:52):
Definitely. Cool.
I'm trying to think, was there anything else?
I think there was well, there probably is, but we just, I just
didn't make any notes Paddy. Therefore, you know, I'm not
going to dare for anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I think my big thing is going forward, umm, to get my 6
KG and I think I will document every KG lost on my Instagram.

(51:18):
Oh, and TikTok now. Yes, on TikTok.
So remind us, what are your socials?
My socials are at GLP one insights.
No it's not. You don't even know.
GLP one insights on TikTok and GLP one insights on the other

(51:42):
one Instagram and. GLP one dot insights though or
something. Probably.
Yeah, it's probably. Oh look, it's underneath my name
here. GLP one dot insights.
I don't really have to get that off like a blurb.
Haven't I get it in you need to get.
It no. You need to get it stuck in a
little post on your. Monitor post it.
Note Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah.

(52:04):
And also stay tuned for the nextchapter.
The next chapter. Interesting.
Yeah. And you have your Facebook group
as well. I have my subscribers only
coaching group. Yeah, yes.
And we are up to 120 people in here.

(52:24):
And I just like, sometimes I just can't believe it.
I was talking to them today. Like I put in coaching videos in
there. You know, when I answer their
questions in the private chats and stuff, it's like make myself
available for them. But I was just saying I can't
believe how far we've all come, you know, because there's some

(52:44):
girls in there and they're theresince the very beginning, you
know, and I've made such good friends in there as well.
And other women have connected in there as well.
And I think the really, really important part about that space
on the Internet is there's no noise in there.
Yeah. Yeah, and there is no TikTok,
there's no Instagram, there's noumm, Reels shares, there's

(53:07):
nothing Yeah, like that. And it's just.
Community Support. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that's cool. I have.
And I love that. I have my movement room this
Saturday again, umm, which is 30minutes folks, where you get to
come and work out with me. Umm, I see a workout.
I prefer the word movement but yeah just tell people

(53:27):
understand. Because it's not, it's not over
strenuous or anything like that.It's your opportunity to.
To, to engage with movement to alevel that you can do, and I
show you adaptations. It's done via Zoom.
Umm, you do not need to have your cameras on because I know
some people aren't comfortable being seen when they're working
out. You can leave your cameras off

(53:48):
and leave your mics off if you want.
I don't mind. Umm, and you get to come and do
30 minutes of movement to a level that you can do.
Don't worry about anybody else because you can't see each
other. That's the thing.
You can't see the majority of other people because they're
just doing their own thing and that's fine.
Umm, but you are uh yeah, you're30 minutes off movement, uh
guided by me live real time and then it is sit down and chat

(54:12):
afterwards and, and I say it's for 15 minutes the chat it has
never been 15 minutes yet, but. You've never had a 15 minute
chat in your life? Mate, no, never never bar
confession. Uh.
Good one. Yeah, but it's a nice
opportunity like isn't it for the other the the the other
people. Sorry, stuttering.
Umm, to kind of reach out and speak to other people on the

(54:34):
same journey as them, you know? Absolutely, absolutely.
That's the thing that people start to realize that there is
so much, umm, support out there and how nuanced and yeah, and
how nuanced an individual the journey actually is.
And again, it cuts through some of the noise of what you hear on
social media of the incorrect expectations and stuff like
that, that sometimes can be set.But umm, yeah.

(54:56):
So that is happening this Saturday the 21st umm, as of the
time of this podcast goes out. I don't know what spaces will be
available, but if you go to any of my profiles or if you go to
ptpaddy.com or you feel pretty quick.
Though, don't you? Yeah.
So usually I, I want 10 people. That's usually well, not that I
want, but like I, I usually capital 10 people and in and

(55:19):
around that. And yeah.
And we, we've like, I've had at least that book and sometimes
depending on if someone, if I know someone is going to be
there or something like that a little more in, but that's kind
of what I'm, what I'm capping about.
And it's €6. And for that movement session
and the sit and chat afterwards as well.
And I say, yeah, you don't have to put your cameras on.
You don't have to be like fish, you know, to be able to, there's

(55:42):
nothing there. There's too many times.
Because you do the adaptations for every level.
Don't. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I think. As well, just touching back on
umm, kind of engaging with otherpeople, like the community
spirit is something that's very lacking in this GLP 1 space.
Yeah, I think I feel that it is,Umm, and I certainly felt it,

(56:04):
uh, nearly three years ago when I started out myself.
Yeah, Belinda, if we look at though like even when we were
both in the same paid for community space with a
specialist offering before, right and we were like those,
those are premium to you know, obviously there was other much

(56:26):
disciplinary aspects to it as well and and that's brilliant
and there was definitely. Some positive premium is the
word. Paddy Yeah.
But if you think of the cost that was being paid and the the
the community space that was provided, there was very little
guidance, very little direction,very little oversight of what
was going in there like it was so people.
Are crying out for. Answers about.

(56:48):
Things. And it's just shameful to see.
And I believe that is still. Still the case.
Still the case from from the reach outs that I get from
people, it's not. Hard to create a a.
A safe port of space, yeah. It's really not, you know.
Yeah, yeah, it's mad. Yeah.
Oh, but anyway, OK, I think, I think, I think we've, I think

(57:10):
we've spoken off for for this week.
I don't. Think we have actually.
Do you know that? Well, do.
You know what, I'm going to leave you here and you can just
keep talking. Oh no, I'm too shy for that.
Don't leave me. I'll let you I'll let you edit
it all and all that Let's. Go.
Let's go and get out our Diariesand figure out when we're going
to meet up. That's what we'll do.
Oh. God.
Yeah, I know. Umm, yeah, I know.

(57:33):
That'd be, that'd be, that'd be wonderful.
Like I, I, I, I. Really thoroughly enjoyed that.
Yeah, thanks. Yeah, I'd love to get to meet
you. I'm.
I'm looking for our music here because I say I'm trying to
access it a different way. I'm probably going to blow the
ears, you know? Oh no, I don't think I am.
I know you're OK, keep it at that level.
That level. OK, and put folks just a little
reminder as well. If you do ever want to reach out
to us, you can e-mail hello at the dose dot IE somebody asked

(57:54):
me on Instagram, they give them the wrong e-mail address.
I got them hello at the dose.com.
