Dani.... girl.... your wisdom is bananas. The very first suggestion alone.... love.... which literally translates "respect"... Thanks for helping put the human back into self care.
This is real good stuff. Mindful eating is the only solution to weight problems. Slowing down, asking yourself WHY and HOW do I want to eat instead of WHAT, and changing your entire relationship with food. Thumbs up for this video.
I just left a nutritionist who once again was telling me to do something that I had tried before that didn't work. I came home and told my husband that I was sick of listening to everyone but my body. I am focusing on unprocessed and walking (something that I enjoy and love) and finding things to do for fun that move my body. I might not drop a ton of weight fast but I need to practice more self love and trusting myself.
Since I gave up cholesterol and most oil I have lost 65 pounds since May. I am thrilled. This is a very sustainable diet. All cholesterol is not healthy. Your body does not need added cholesterol. I feel great and my lab work is fantastic. My doctor is impressed. This has worked for me. I hope it helps someone else.
i love how you talked about coming into relationship with you body as opposed to a set of rules or a system..you're preaching the Gospel inadvertently Dani! 😀
I love the idea of asking what feels most like love! For food and for other things! Great idea. A gentleman in my Weight Watchers group shared that he eats until he's not hungry. For some reason that resonated with me much more than 'eat until you're satisfied' or any other guage I've heard. This helps me so much at meal time. It also helps me when I'm in the mood for a snack. At those times I'm probably not having real hunger. So checking in with myself at that time, and eating until I'm not hungry, results in eating much less of a snack than I normally would. Hope this helps someone. I love your videos Dani. Looking forward to that soup!
Thank you Dani for your wisdom. I so needed to hear this one today. I myself have been stuck on a calorie-counting diet mentality and really trying to switch to a more self-loving listening to my body mentality. Happy New Year. You are awesome!!!
Hi Dani.Happy New Year!! I am new to your channel and am LOVING it! I find you inspiring and down to earth. I am 50 years old, and have over 150lbs. to lose. I am currently a Weight Watchers member and find that it is not a diet, but lifestyle. With your great recipes, coaching and meal preps, and WW, I KNOW that I will be very SUCCESSFUL in reaching my GOAL in 2017!
I'm trying so hard to change my diet but it is so hard. I love your channel and followed a lot of your steps in my food prep for the week. Thank you so much for all that you do
I would very much appreciate a college meal prep video or something of the sorts, like a lot of us do have a kitchen to use! Some videos directed towards college students trying to eat clean would be awesome!
Thanks so much for your helpful insights, Dani. This is so, so true. I never dieted yet was always thin. Now I'm obese. This little talk has helped me to see that the difference is that I was always tuned in to my body and my needs. Once the kids left, and we were no longer doing the focussed, social family mealtimes, I just gradually started 'zoning out' and losing touch. It has come to the point where my husband and I will just eat in front of the TV or at the table with our iPads! The problem is the totally mindless eating and relying on external cues. I had never thought about the idea of external cues before. I had a vague idea about this, but you crystallized the idea in my mind. Now I know what has to happen in 2017.
Thank you for this video! I'm 21 and have always been very very slim and active but that changed when I started university and I gained 21lbs in my first 2 years. I hate my body now and keep wanting a quick fix diet, but I know deep down it isn't a long-term solution and I need to focus on eating cleaner and being more active once again. Thank you for the reminder! I've just found your channel today and have binge watched non stop x
The most important tool I use to stay lean is.... high impact/ high intensity workouts 5-6 days in a row. When I do that, I naturally start craving low fat, healthier foods. If I go even a single day without exercise, I start craving junk food a lot more.
Hi Dani, first of all happy new year to you and your family. The trouble with maintaining a diet is that people have it in their head than the word " diet " is toxic, in a sense it is cause the word "die" in diet scares many people off. When they think of dieting, people get scared and can't maintain the lifestyle for long because it becomes emotionally and mentally draining. The main problem with diets is that they don't work long-term. People often find that they can't stick with a diet for a long period of time. It's likely due to the fact that many diets aren't realistic, too restrictive, too expensive, too complicated, or too inconvenient to maintain, so they give up. Instead I think a healthier lifestyle if switching out foods that we know aren't " healthy for us " to eat and replacing them with fresh wholesome foods. Just doing that and eating " when hungry " will make a big change in anyone's lifestyle.
Dani I've got a question for you. When I try to clean up my diet and listen to my body I end up thinking about food all day. When do I have to eat next, what am I going to eat, how much time do I need to prepare it, was that enough food, should I add in another snack or alter my next meal because the last one was too big, do I have enough ingredients for tomorrow if I make an extra snack today and on and on and on. How do you listen to your body, eat a diet that's mostly unprocessed and not feel exhausted at the end of the day because all you've done is think about food? I think this, more than anything, has steered me off track so any input you have is really appreciated.
Sandy G 323 Hello, I have had the same exact experience in the past and im not sure about you but it does indeed steer me into utter exhaustion and i chuck everything good and bad in hopes of some clarity. The top advice i gan give is to try and see what makes you feel good and forget about all the videos or articles of how and what you should eat. Try everything meaning a way of life try whatever interest you such as paleo, keto, macro counting, intuitive eating, vegan, vegetarian, raw till 4, low carb high fat, 21 day fix etc. see what makes you feel best, what makes you less stressed what you can do long term. All these suggestions are based purely on whole foods but in different ways and hopefully you will find what works for you
Danny, I live by myself, could you do a video on a week of meal prep for one? I find a lot of my stuff goes bad before I even eat it. I have been freezing more. Like now when I bring home salad, spinach, or Kale, I freeze half of it for smoothies later.
What you have said is 100% true. It is really a very important piece of advice. If someone actually follows what you just said then he or she will always be not only healthy but also happy. LoL
Hi there, can you do a video on ways to cook with frozen vegetables? Although super convenient, they have the stereotype of being boring and bland. I'm curious to see how you'd use them. Thanks!
Sadly, most often if we're out and about, it seems like a waste to not eat everything on our plate because we paid for it. Now, if we are heading home after, packing up leftovers is fine. However, what if we're going somewhere else? Once again, it's such a waste if we have to leave food out in the car or something.
Thank you for being a positive in my life. 💐 I enjoy watching your videos & trying your recipes. I have been enjoying your overnight oats, daily for around 6months now. I love how quick & easy they are. I have a healthy & delicious option waiting for me in the fridge any time of day. I'm looking forward to working on listening to my body more this year & finding some new quick & delicious recipes to count on. Have a wonderful & prosperous 2017 😃
Hi Dani, tried to join your private Facebook page, but said it wasn't available or not available to join?? I sure could use some extra tips while losing weight! Thanks!
+Clean & Delicious I don't have a internal help because of illnesses. My body doesn't know a hunger feeling which makes a lot very hard. I have to set alarms for eating...
Love this video- this is so helpful at the start of the year! Thanks! I'm not sure if you'd be interested, but I would love to see a reading list recommendation video from you. You reference your reading a lot, and I would love to see your recommended reading list. :)
Dani thanks for hear tools - I really need to loose the weight I just added from the holidays.... especially after 35 I think it's harder to loose weight 😬 Wishing you a blessings and prosperity in 2017 🙏🏼🎆🙏🏼😘💕💕💕💕💕
khadija siali Use Tumeric in your cooking, it fights inflammation beautifully. Use organic extra virgin coconut oil on your face, I too, have inflammation on my face and these two items have really helped me. Hope this helps.
My Moroccan dishes require turmeric all the time so I do take it daily, ginger also . I'm looking for a special diet that can reduce the inflammation. Thank you 😊 for replying back to me .
khadija siali Your very welcome, I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful. But, my bloodworm always came back with inflammation in my body and since I have been using tumeric in all of my dishes, my bloodworm has not shown any inflammation at all. I hope you will find something that's helpful to you. Good Luck!!!!
It's so funny because everyone always says to concentrate on the food we eat, but if I do that that is so triggering. I have an eating disorder though, so it might be a bit different, but still. I need to have a way to get distracted from the food while eating.
This is Lori Bach. The word diet, to me, is the word die with a "t" on the end. Now, this is a tool I highly recommend but it takes a very open mind and involves astrology. Right now we are in a Mercury retrograde. The planet Mercury is responsible for our thinking and judgment and right now the world at large is "not firing on all cylinders". When anything new is started during a Mercury retrograde it will fail and this leads to disappointment. The best day to begin anything new regarding a lifestyle program this month is Wednesday, 1/11, the day before the full moon, as Mercury will be direct. Until then enjoy the party!

I love this! You always help me take a step back to reevaluate my relationship with food. Thank you, Dani! Thanks for the great tips!
Oh my god I love the two of you.
Love this! I think another good step is tuning in spiritually with God too. Let God guide.
Happy New year. I don't even want to say diet anymore early 40's just want to eat healthy.
Angela Simmons agreed!!!!
Dani.... girl.... your wisdom is bananas. The very first suggestion alone.... love.... which literally translates "respect"... Thanks for helping put the human back into self care.

Are you saying I shouldn't have watched you while eating lunch :) I see your point! Eating slower is a great goal for me, too.
LOL!! I'm right there with you.
As you were explaining the #1 tool I had goosebumps as if my body was saying IMPORTANT :-)Thank You!

+Laurie Poole hmmm! That link should be working. Would you mind trying again.
I did try again, it said it was temporarily unavailable. It may be on my end, I'll check. Thanks for responding!
Do you have a video on calorie counting? I want to start counting them but am not sure were to start.
"25 chews" per bite ! That calls for a cookie 🍪 for all the calories I'd have burnt 🙏
+madhunov you guys crack me up!!
thank you for the advice .. happy new year !
postive vibes happy New Year to you too!
+Clean & Delicious I don't have a internal help because of illnesses. My body doesn't know a hunger feeling which makes a lot very hard. I have to set alarms for eating...
also eat when you are 80% full, when u begin feeling pressure in your stomach
Love this video- this is so helpful at the start of the year! Thanks!
I'm not sure if you'd be interested, but I would love to see a reading list recommendation video from you. You reference your reading a lot, and I would love to see your recommended reading list. :)
Does "25 chews" count as cardio? lol
+Bella Mas 😂😂😂

Not working for me either
This is Lori Bach. The word diet, to me, is the word die with a "t" on the end. Now, this is a tool I highly recommend but it takes a very open mind and involves astrology. Right now we are in a Mercury retrograde. The planet Mercury is responsible for our thinking and judgment and right now the world at large is "not firing on all cylinders". When anything new is started during a Mercury retrograde it will fail and this leads to disappointment. The best day to begin anything new regarding a lifestyle program this month is Wednesday, 1/11, the day before the full moon, as Mercury will be direct. Until then enjoy the party!
25 chews is too much for me lol
Thank you, I found your YT by accident, I would love to join your FB group but I cannot, please help! Thank you!
