HOW TO SIMPLIFY HEALTHY EATING| Start with 3 simple steps!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

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

[@alejandrazamudio5160]

Hello I am happy to write this for you.I always watch your shows.And I love to follow but I've had a problem.My legs are in Need of help which is rest and while doing that. I am gaining so much weight and I don't know what to do anymore. Is there any advice you can help me? To lose this weight and to be happy of myself and how I can do ithank you so much. I wish to hear back from you.😢

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

@steampunkkitty My pleasure!!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

@@alejandrazamudio5160 We always have to focus on what we can do - even when we are limited. I would focus on a healthy diet that is rich in protein and vegetables as a base. I would also explore exercise videos that can be done while seated. Everything counts.❤

[@Jenniepoo3]

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.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Thanks for sharing!! 😊

[@benburns5995]

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.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Yes! This is a great, practical tip.

[@Craftytutu]

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

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

This can be so difficult - and I am glad to hear you will have time to focus on yourself again. Start and build! One delicious, healthy meal at a time.

I find it helps to have difficult people help with the menu planning. Print out some recipes you like with pictures and have them pick one or two. If they insist on an entree that doesn't work for you make sure you plan it for when you will have leftovers from a previous meal that did work.

[@Craftytutu]

I’ve had 2 pancreatic cancer scares in the past 3 years. Last November I had a large cyst removed from my pancreas and thank God it was non cancerous. I’m having to have a MRI every 6 months to keep an eye on my pancreas. My GI doctor told me healthy eating would be life saving for me and then I found you on KZbin. I started making your cranberry chicken salad and protein balls. My blood glucose had been in the upper 300’s and now my glucose average is 141. I’m 57 years old and I started learning to cook southern food when I was 10 years old from the older women in my family back in the 70’s. Everyone calls me to ask questions about cooking and I catered company dinners around Christmas for 20 years so I’m an awesome cook. On the other hand nothing is harder than trying to learn to cook healthy when you’ve been a southern cook for 47 years. It has been foreign to me for years. I had to relearn how to shop also. In the long run it’s saved my life! I’ve lost 20lbs and I’m feeling so much better. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I’ve learned so much from you. I posted a picture of my protein balls on Facebook 3 weeks ago and I’ve gotten multiple messages asking for the recipe. I just send them a screenshot of your KZbin page. Thanks again! You’ve really helped me! ❤️

[@adamczer7017]

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

[@loribach534]

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.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Agreed! This is a great approach.

[@bambibrazzle8006]

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!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

100% - the same happens for me - this is why the good/bad approach doesn't work for many people.

[@suegalletly8262]

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 ~

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.

[@miriamgriffin6462]

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.

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Thanks for sharing. It's always fun to hear other people's stories and strategies! XO

[@mariagrimes1896]

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.

[@orang1414]

This is so encouraging to hear, really happy you r achieved that freedom. I have similar struggles with trying to stop tracking food. Is it ok to ask how you stopped and how you now approach your diet and food now when making a meal? I can’t seem to get over the fear of the numbers but feel I really need to x

[@mariagrimes1896]

@orang1414 hi, I had been keeping a daily calendar where I tracked WW points as well as tracking on the WW app. I quit WW and stopped putting a line in my daily calendar for points. I'm just focusing on produce and lean protein with some grains where I can. Hope that helps and good luck to you! 💙

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.

Congratulations 🎉

[@patriciacerwin6266]

Congratulations. I lost 70 pounds last year, eating mostly plant based with no exercise, plus I'm in my 70s. Have kept it off over a year. Whole foods, eliminate all processed food is the key. Processed foods and all the chemicals are what is killing us. Plus they are addictive.

[@MelissaChernovsky-mh6xv]

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.

[@CP-gq5fw]

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. 😊

[@carlottadix]

When I feel stressed I eat a very small amount of apple slices with a tsp of peanut butter. I eat this extremely slowly. I am strict with this amount. I eat this snack alone in a quiet environment.

[@michellejacquesvenable6068]

Thanks for this approach on food/diet. I have been stressing myself with trying to follow the blood type diet and so I have cut off a lot of foods as well as making myself miserable when I do eat something on my avoid list 😐 making food choices more challenging and not enjoyable.

Hi Dani! I am an early childhood educator and I teach children who are four and five years old. I have the opportunity throughout the year to teach the children about nutrition and healthy choices. Also, every February our dental clinic comes to our classroom and teaches the children about proper dental hygiene, and the foods they should and shouldn’t eat. They would call the foods, “good” foods and “bad” foodsI told them that we do not have “good” foods and “bad” food, we have “always“ foods and “sometimes” foods. Through time I finally converted them to saying it the way that I say it because the children would not understand because I had already taught them that we can try everything. We just want to have the always foods more often. Thanks for the information you always share. It helps me understand and have ideas about healthy eating.

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.

I have IBS so I constantly search for solutions and it’s super frustrating when your body doesn’t like anything that’s considered healthy (vegetables and fruits). Now I’m considering carnivore at least for a month which makes me sick because I love vegetables. I don’t eat any processed food or sugar. But overall I think eliminating all processed food is the biggest thing for everyone.

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

Perhaps make a big pot of fresh, homemade soup!

I get the point you were making about energy balance, but I wholeheartedly disagree that eating the right amount of calories in donuts will create anything healthy in your body as it's all empty and inflammatory calories. If it was the same amount of calories in hamburgers, at least you would be getting protein.

I like what you're essentially saying but you said about trying not to label food then mentioned the dreaded word "clean". Its a label, a very moral inducing word in the fitness/nutrition/diet world.

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 😂😂
