Are 6am HIIT classes in winter actually doing more harm than good?

In today’s episode of The Nutrition Couch, dietitians Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell unpack the rising chatter around early morning workouts, metabolic health, and whether you’re better off staying in bed (especially if you’re freezing, exhausted, or juggling toddlers).

Also this week:
A surprising new study suggests a low-fat vegan diet might beat the Mediterranean diet for weight loss and inflammation. But does it hold up in real life — or just in research labs?
Our product spotlight reveals why Woolworths’ budget Potato Minis might be a smarter choice than you think (yes, even if you’re trying to lose weight).
We break down the best supermarket pre-made meals for nutrition, convenience, and value — including Coles Perform, Strength Meals Co, and good old roast chooks.

It’s a jam-packed episode full of science, straight talk and a few laughs — plus some practical wins for your next grocery shop.

Tune in now for smart, no-fluff nutrition advice that actually fits into your life.
