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
Thank you.
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.😢
@@steampunkkitty My pleasure!!
@@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.❤
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
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.
@@CleanandDeliciousDani 💞
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.
@@dollyperry3020 thank you 💞
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 UA-cam. 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 UA-cam page.
Thanks again! You’ve really helped me! ❤️
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.
Yes! This is a great, practical tip.
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 ~
Thanks for sharing. Nutrition can easily become overcomplicated!
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.
Thanks for sharing!! 😊
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🎉😊❤
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. 😊
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.
Trying to break my diet mentality is taking me much time to work out but I know I will conquer this eventually❤

I really like you, you give great advice, simple to understand and great tweaks. You’re always enjoyable and pleasant to watch. Thank you.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching.
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.
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
@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 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!
Thank you! I'm glad it is helpful.
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.
Agreed! This is a great approach.
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.
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!
100% - the same happens for me - this is why the good/bad approach doesn't work for many people.
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 🎉
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.
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.
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful.
I love watching your videos, such great and sensible content. Thank you Dani
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!
I'm so glad it was helpful - thanks for letting me know.
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'm so glad it was helpful! Thanks for sharing!!
Everything you are saying makes so much sense.
Thank you.❤
I'm glad it's helpful! Thanks for watching.
Thanks Dani, you really speak out the essence of healthy eating! 👏🏼
It's my pleasure!
Thank you you broke it down and made all of this Easier to understand 🙌
Mission accomplished! :)
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. 🌿
There are many nutritional nuances that can be helpful - I just find for most people looking at the bigger picture can be a great place to start.
Is that per day?
When we took on a Mediterranean diet, I made a list of things that sound good to try, we had AT LEAST 30 things on the list! My S/O tried bok choy and LOVES it! I am still looking for swiss chard, would like to try it! Every week as I'm making my grocery list, I review the list and try to bring home something new. The best thing about our new eating habits; we do not throw out as much food as we used to!!!
@@dollyperry3020 no that’s per week, but 30 different plants which includes herbs, spices, legumes which are beans of all sorts, olive oil, fruit and vegetables
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 😂❤
You know I am a big fan of egg whites as well!! Thanks for sharing. XO
Dani, i loooove love your content sooo much!Thank youuu❤
It's my pleasure!! Thanks for being here.
Thank you very much look good God bless with your family
Thank you for breaking this down for us and reminding us not to be so harsh on ourselves.
Exactly what I thought. Very well said
Perfect and good recipe
Great video! Thanks , needed to hear this♥️🙏🏻
I'm glad it was helpful!
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! 🍅🥗🥙
May I respectfully add, over sixty, no meds yet and still going strong. I highly recommend this life style. I feel great! 🤞🙏
Loved these tips Danielle ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!
You are the best ❤Sweet blessings to you and your family ❤
Thank you! Same to 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
Well said & thanks for the health tips.
My pleasure!!
Love your show and recipes. I have gained weight ,increased my normal blood pressure and now into a high blood pressure, ugg🙃.
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...
I agree that a focus on real whole foods can make health and weight goals much easier to attain!
Great advice ! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
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.
Thanks for sharing. It's always fun to hear other people's stories and strategies! XO
Good info!! Thank you!!
Anytime! Thanks for watching.
Very good, sensible tips, Dani!
I'm glad they were helpful!
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
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.
It's my pleasure!
Great video, thank you 👍😁
My pleasure!
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.
Agreed! Thanks for sharing.
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 love this approach and do the same! Sometimes repetition is the key to keeping things simple.
Thanks soooo much. I really believe in what ars saying
My pleasure!!
Has anyone ever told you that you look like Keegan Conner Tracy? Absolutely iconic! Thanks for the video ☺️
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.
I'm so glad it was helpful. Often when we graze at night, we simply need a routine in place that helps us transition into the evening. Just a thought!
@@CleanandDeliciousDani Thanks Dani!
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.
This is a great topic! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm also curious: What ratio did your dietician recommend?
@@CleanandDeliciousDani Each day she said to eat 200g carbs, 120g protein, and 80g fat. This means 40% of calories are from carbs, 36% from fat and 24% from protein.
Thank you!
My pleasure.
Thank you x
My pleasure!
Oh ya.... Dani droppin a dose of simplicity on us ...
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.
Thank you for this information! I am 65 and 40 lbs overweight. Need help! Love your videos.
I am on my day 4 of eating salad And healthy food ❤
I love a good salad!
A conversation with her and dr. Berry would be very interesting.
I would love to!
@@CleanandDeliciousDaniDr Berry only eats meat. I don't understand it.
Great information
Glad it was helpful.
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 🙏
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.
I can relate to this! I was like this for years - if you haven't already, download my free mind+body weight loss series, as it can help with this type of mentality. the-dont-diet.mykajabi.com/mind-body
@@CleanandDeliciousDani I'm soooo glad I read the comments because, ME TOO on this! Downloading now and new subber!😊
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?
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 😏😶
Finding what works is a practice, and it changes over time. Don't give up! XO
@@CleanandDeliciousDani Thank you so much for your encouraging words
Your channel is so helpful and I love your recipes 💚 I’m making the chickpea salad tomorrow
Thank you! I'm so glad it's helpful. Enjoy the salad.
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 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 🙏
Are you looking for a pairing knife? If so, this is the one I like - > amzn.to/49Y603p
@@CleanandDeliciousDani I have ordered it and first few months maybe 6 months, it was working very well and the sharpness diminished over time. Do you have something different other than this. Thanks 🙏
@@shad6519You do have to sharpen knives. They don't stay sharp forever.
@@sheramelton3583 ok thanks 🙏
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 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 😂😂😂
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 think it can take a couple of weeks, depending on the person.
I simplified eating by not eating or only eating bananas or spaghetti for like 2 years straight.
Interesting!
😊😊
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
You are not alone! But the good news is that you can start making small changes today and feel better quickly. You've got this. XO
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.
Perhaps make a big pot of fresh, homemade soup!
@@CleanandDeliciousDani yes I often do. Ty
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 😂😂
