I've stepped out of the kitchen to chat about "healthy eating." Here are 3 simple steps that help me to simplify healthy eating! I'd love to hear your thoughts and what has helped you. XO - Dani

I have lost my love of cooking healthy food since I began caring for my mother full time, around 4 years ago. She is moving into a nursing home next week and my first plan of action is to look after ME again! I feel like I’m starting from scratch again and my husband refuses to eat anything even remotely healthy. I need some quick healthy meals that I can throw together for myself that will get me back to a decent level of health xx

Im living proof of this healthy balance. Because I'm not on medication at 61, is because, I look at food as my medication. Sure to eat all the colors, create a beautiful plate of God's nutrition, and once in awhile enjoy the sweets he also wants us to enjoy. Everything said in this video is common sense. It truly is not complicated at all ~

One simple idea that has helped me eat healthier, is when I shop at the grocery store is to get my items from the outer walls and areas as the aisles in the middle are mostly processed food choices.

I started eating more fresh veggies and fruits with necessary added proteins and it is working well. I continue to struggle with my addiction to processed sugar foods and diet pop, but I am making progress every day. Your videos inspire and educate me. Your simple and basic recipes also help tremendously.

Love how you focus on the foods you can add in, not take away!!

Hey Dani, GREAT PRESENTATION!! I'm a vegan and love what I eat and how good I feel!! 🎉 Very well thought out for people who would like to transition into eating a little healthier!! One step at a time is exactly how my evolution took place,!! Thanks and health to you and all viewers🎉😊❤

I have a history of disordered eating and am focusing on fresh fruits and veggies, lean protein, and whole grains . I've stopped tracking food for now, which seems to help my mindset. Understanding, of course, everyone's needs and relationship with food is different. Thanks for your work and content; I find the straightforward approach very helpful.

Trying to break my diet mentality is taking me much time to work out but I know I will conquer this eventually❤

CHEERS! Such a great post! Just little switches… it really spoke to me! Doing it now!

Thank you Dani! Great video! Appreciate the content you shared, coupled with your clear and concise delivery.

Have always enjoyed everything about your Clean and Delicious channel. I’ll be 60 this year and have had love/hate relationship with my food my entire adult life. Thank you for explaining in a simplified manner, it really makes sense and I have definitely been a food labeler, Good food/ Bad food. The minute I tell myself I can’t have something, the more wicked my cravings seem to get!

Dani, I recently dealt with my eating disorder. I couldn’t stop eating snacks like Smart popcorn, Hersheys kisses, etc. When I shopped for groceries, I always threw a snack in my cart and I would tell myself it was okay to do so because I eat mostly healthy\ish home cooked meals, so what’s the harm. Then, I realized I couldn’t stop snacking. One day, after a stressful incident, I immediately went to my kitchen to grab a snack. I was tired at failing. I knew if I ate the snack, I would only feel worse. I had tried so many different methods to control my eating habits. As I was about to eat, I asked myself, “Wait, why are you eating?” I had to pause and I truly had to think about why I was eating. Do you want to know what came out of my mouth, I said, “I just want to feel better.” It was my ‘ahh moment”. I didn’t realize that I was eating to feel better. I cried, and I felt compassion for myself. I didn’t understand why I was harming myself. I just needed to know why I had a food addiction. I am still working on finding ways to protect myself from stress and anxiety. Because I have a teen son who enjoys an occasional snack, I still have to keep them in the house. But I still enjoy an occasional fun food, and when I feel the temptation to eat the wrong food, I grab an apple or banana. As a recovering addict, I need to do that to keep me away from stumbling. Thank you for everything you do. 😊

This was such a great video! So true and well put. Best way I have heard it ever! I totally relate to getting stuck in the weeds without seeing the whole picture. Thank you!

Everything you are saying makes so much sense. Thank you.❤

Awesome video! Short, easy to absorb and understand! Your healthy recipes have helped me realize how much I enjoy fruits and veggies and how to add more to my daily intake. I feel so much better. The fact that your healthy recipes taste "delicious" make me continue on a healthy path. Thank you, Dani! Terrific information...keep it coming. ❤

I love your simple approach to healthy eating. think I need to watch this video every morning to remind myself how easy healthy eating can be!

A great segment! What works for me is the 80-20 rule. Eat healthy 80% of the time and my favorites 20%. I find it best to have half of my plate with veggies along with a palm full of protein but as you stated, this depends upon an individual's activity level and requires adjustment.

I really like you, you give great advice, simple to understand and great tweaks. You’re always enjoyable and pleasant to watch. Thank you.

Dani, i loooove love your content sooo much!Thank youuu❤

Thanks Dani, you really speak out the essence of healthy eating! 👏🏼

Thank you you broke it down and made all of this Easier to understand 🙌

I love watching your videos, such great and sensible content. Thank you Dani

Loved these tips Danielle ❤❤❤❤❤

I love how good I feel being focused on my nutritional intake. Eggs for an example. For me, having egg whites, fixed my stomach issue. Left without that full heavy, upset, tired feeling. I appreciate you immensely, for all of your wonderful coaching, and satifying recipes, Dani. I just Need to get more involved with being Active! Your friend, the lazy bones 😂❤

I received a Food Saver vacuum sealer as a gift. So now I will buy a big bag of organic sweet potatoes, and/or a big bag of organic rust potatoes, bake them all, then cut in small pieces and freeze portions of them. I seal them in the vacuum bags. I do this with all kinds of cooked food now. I’ll cook a double batch of something and freeze half to use in another two weeks or so. Another good one is turkey meat. I’ll buy the 3 pound container of turkey meat cook it all with taco seasonings divide it up and freeze. I’ll Use some for that week and freeze two other pounds to use later on.

Thank you for breaking this down for us and reminding us not to be so harsh on ourselves.

You are the best ❤Sweet blessings to you and your family ❤

Perfect and good recipe

Great video! Thanks , needed to hear this♥️🙏🏻

I have lost 66lbs with 94 to go. I find that multiple things help me. 1. I use WW as a guide to calorie restriction and portion control since those are issues I have. 2. I have a coach who helps me with good food choices and slowly increasing exercise.I use a fitbit to help quantify my exersise. I seek out inspirational videos that are based in the healthy realm for successful weight loss and easy recipes to reach my dietary goals. I do a low carb diet...but not keto. My husband is a diabetic....so that works well for both of us.

Well said & thanks for the health tips.

Great advice ! Thank you!!

Thank you very much look good God bless with your family

Interestingly, in the UK eating 30 different plant sources is being talked about lots and lots. Truly it makes sense. Prof Tim Spector, is a highly researched scientist has amazing thoughts and research on diets and what we eat. Your video makes it so easy to start at the basic level. 🌿

Good info!! Thank you!!

Dani since our son died food doesn’t taste the same thanks for reminding me about balance. Most of you Real down to Earth talk is what my great diatition shared with me. Not sure of your background ed but you know your stuff. Take care and you look great. My husband wouldn’t touch healy either so i put. My own spin on a salad from u tube cucumbers,tomato, chickpeas, and home made oil & vinegar dressing he liked it

Very good, sensible tips, Dani!

The proposed 3 steps make a lot of sense to me. I notice when I focus on my desired outcome it becomes easier to make shifts in my diet by eating foods like you mentioned and less of the less healthy ones. Also assessing how I feel after eating as you mentioned does help guide me to choose better going forward.

Thanks soooo much. I really believe in what ars saying

Thanks for all your helpful videos on healthy eating! For me, it has taken a mixture of habits to help me achieve my weight goal and losing 78 pounds. 1) eating whole foods and eliminating processed foods 2) reducing my carb intake and focus on good carbs like broccoli, asparagus, etc. 3) Tracking my foods & setting a daily calorie intake on My Fitness Pal so I do not over eat 4) Intermittent fasting for 14 hours a day. I stop eating by 8pm and my first meal in the morning is at 10am.

Great video, thank you 👍😁

This was so informative! I've been out of control lately. I need to reign it in. I'm good all day, then, after dinner, I'm grazing.

Thank you x

Has anyone ever told you that you look like Keegan Conner Tracy? Absolutely iconic! Thanks for the video ☺️

Great Video ! It's super important to eat real foods and ditch the processed stuff as much as you can. I always say I do an 80/20 and maybe even holding to a 90/10 for a time where the larger part is clean and healthy and the lower percentage is recreation foods...

Yes dani thx you for your video I get so upset about what I'm eating and what I'm not eating but what I am finding out as long as I put veggies and grains fiber in my diet I mostly turn out OK in my sugar levels.

Thank you!

I stopped eating meats, all processed foods and added sugars years ago. I don't even crave the bad stuff anymore because I feel AWFUL afterwards. I am ALWAYS looking for new suggestions so subscribing to your channel. Thank you! 🍅🥗🥙

I am really struggling with food right now. I love good fresh healthy food. I love the balance of good food and a treat. But for some reason right now I have a devil in my brain that just dosent care. Your videos help. I will check out your other channel. Thank you

Great information

I have multiple healthy meals that my family enjoy on rotation. It makes shopping for groceries super simple and eliminates expensive experiments in the kitchen. I will try something new every few weeks to see if it makes it into the rotation.

I've been a life-long dieter and tried many different things, and nothing really worked for me. But I feel I've grown wiser or gotten more educated on the subject of "dieting" and what's more important to me now is being healthy to prolong my life... hoping to not end up with something that threatens my health or longevity. I've been focused on whole food eating and I'm losing some weight, feeling more energetic, less achy. I have a long way to go but I'm enjoying how it's making me feel. However, it is confusing what you see and hear. A certain Dr. says don't eat whole grains, oats, tomatoes etc. and others such as yourself say it's ok. To my knowledge I'm not having any bad side effects 🤷‍♀. And maybe that Dr. is right about things but like you said I do what I feel is right for me and what works. And right now it's extremely better than how it was. I mean I was addicted to Starbucks, loved french-fries and pizza, occasionally ice-cream... I now avoid all that and enjoy healthy foods I make. Knowing what's in my meals makes me feel better.

Oh ya.... Dani droppin a dose of simplicity on us ...

I don’t want the same kind of knife because I have already ordered that knife. Other than that, do you have any other options. Thanks 🙏

Love your show and recipes. I have gained weight ,increased my normal blood pressure and now into a high blood pressure, ugg🙃.

Thank you for this information! I am 65 and 40 lbs overweight. Need help! Love your videos.

I would really appreciate more discussion on how to choose a ratio of fat/protein/carbs. My dietician chose a ratio for me but I'd like to know the other options.

A conversation with her and dr. Berry would be very interesting.

What are your thoughts on seed oils like rapeseed and sunflower in a whole foods diet? I ask as a lot of healthy food items like houmous, pesto, etc which are seen as healthy things to have but contain these oils. Just makes it more difficult to even attempt having a healthy diet for fear of knowing if a food is healthy or not if that makes sense?

I am on my day 4 of eating salad And healthy food ❤

Your channel is so helpful and I love your recipes 💚 I’m making the chickpea salad tomorrow

I love your approach. I am an all or nothing and when I do eat processed food, I go in like a gangster! lol. All or nothing and go in hard regardless of the outcome. I am tired of living like this.

The struggle is extremely real😢 I stopped at the supermarket to pick up organic salad dressings and the ingredients took me out. Everything is so processed and ingredients I can't even pronounce. Living in the states now I can no longer walk in my backyard and picked whatever fruits and vegetables I wanted. Even as an adult now I had to start adding more berries since those has less sugar than my other favorite fruits😢 As an adult, food are also digested different due to my slower metabolism 😏😶

How long does it typically take to figure out what type of diet is best for your body? I realize this will vary from person to person, but would you say a couple days? A week?

I work for the Ambulance Service here in the UK 🇬🇧, a normal working shift is 12 hours, but can easily increase to 14 or 15 hours! It’s so hard to eat healthy on a mixture of gruelling day & night shifts! Can you offer any assistance? Snacks, salads, sandwiches? Packed lunch ideas so we’re not heading for fast food take-out vans! Please 🙏 on behalf of the South Western Ambulance Service ❤

I grew up eating very southern cooking. So I’m very unfamiliar with a lot of the foods people are taking about. The moment I hear a food I’ve never heard of I’m like “uggh what is that?” Thank you for this video. I’ve heard the word lentil so many times and I still don’t know what that is 😂😂😂

The small changes all add up. Just adding a piece of fresh fruit every day. Eating one less slice of bread a day. Drink more water. They are small things but gradual change is easier I think. ❤

I simplified eating by not eating or only eating bananas or spaghetti for like 2 years straight.

😊😊

❤❤❤

I know you have always shared amazon utensils for buying knives. But please could you share again for small knife to slice onions and garlic and etc. Thanks 🙏

I eat healthy- but somehow have lost control and have gained almost 10 lbs. on a 5’2” frame that’s a lot. Use to be WW and have found that I need some kind of tracking to stay accountable. I need to start focusing on my journey again. So disappointed in my body now and the way I feel

I struggle with cooking. I don't feel that I am good at it, and in fact have started several small fires. Also, when I cook usually it comes out not tasting great because I don't know what seasonings to use with which foods. I want to eat much better, but I have zero skills.

🎯

I eat canned soup and it messed with my stomach. Gas, bloating and pains.

Sorry but this video is too complicated. Not simple at all. I need simple when I simplify.

The key is to count calories Calories in calories out That’s what works for me.. I eat whole food most of the time but I love Herbalife Nutrition as a part of my healthy regimen Gotta eat less then what your body burns in order to lose weight Dani uses fancy words that some people might not understand… just saying 😂😂

Stop yapping and show us the foods we should be eating!
