Clean eating has been trendy for years, but it hasn't been without controversy from those who say it can lead to eating disorders. There's also no standard definition for the term nor is it regulated, so there's been a lot of confusion about what it actually means. In this episode, I sat down with Michelle Dudash, an award-winning registered dietitian nutritionist, Cordon Bleu-certified chef, founder of Dash Dinners Spice Kits, and a television personality. She is also the author of the top-selling cookbook Clean Eating for Busy Families as well as Clean Eating Kitchen: The Low-Carb Mediterranean Cookbook. We talked about the benefits of clean eating for kids and how to move from processed foods to real food, but still make room for your kids' favorite snacks. We also covered how to save money, save time, and get healthy meals on the table everyday, and Michelle talked about her favorite clean-eating recipes for kids.  Welcome 3:17 Let's talk about your story! 4:34 What is “clean eating?” 5:33 What does research show us about the benefits of clean eating? 7:25 Why is clean eating vital for kids?  9:40 What myths are there about clean eating? 13:24 What foods should parents focus on? 16:05 What are the best chicken and beef options?  18:11 What are the best drinks for kids?  20:23 What are some foods kids should avoid and is some processing ok? 21: 59 Does clean eating mean avoiding gluten and dairy? 23:47 What are easy tips for families to get more whole foods in their diets and follow a clean-eating approach? 27:03 If your kid has been eating a lot of processed foods and is a picky eater, how can you encourage healthier eating habits? 28:29 As kids get older, there are more opportunities for them to eat processed foods. How can parents encourage healthy eating habits without being too restrictive? 3:04 Can a hyper-focus on clean eating lead to disordered eating? 33:28 How can families follow a clean eating plan on a budget?  35:14 What are your best tips for busy families to get healthy “clean" meals and snacks on the table?  37:50 What are your favorite recipes from your book?

Barbecuing can be a healthy way to cook, but you have to make sure you're doing it right.Barbecuing can be a healthy way to cook, but you have to make sure you're doing it right.Michelle Dudash, Chef and Clean Eating Expert, is back on Clean Food Network to share tips for making your next BBQ the healthiest it can be.1. Charred foods have been suggested to be carcinogenic. Use only medium or medium-low heat. Marinate your meat or crust it with herbs and spices in order to create a barrier between the fire and the meat. 2. Salads with a creamy base can spoil and create an environment for food poisoning. Instead, make vinaigrette-based salad. Put salads on ice. Also, make sure to use a thermometer when cooking meats to make sure they're fully cooked.3. Clean your grill really well each time you use it. Invest in a metal grill brush. 4. For grilled corn on the cob, rub diced avocado on the corn instead of butter. This will save you calories and fat.5. Find ways to add healthy antioxidants to your BBQ. Use fresh chopped herbs and fresh vegetables and fruits instead of chips and other unhealthy snacks.

It can be challenging to eat healthy on the road, but being prepared can make a huge difference.Summer is a popular time for family road trips and other travel.It can be challenging to eat healthy on the road, but being prepared can make a huge difference.Michelle Dudash, Chef and Clean Eating Expert, joins host Lisa Davis to share some of her favorite portable snacks and mini meals.Wherever you end up, ask if there's a farmer's market nearby. These markets are becoming increasingly popular, and you can find fresh, local produce for little cost.Aim to bring along summertime fruits and vegetables that have high water concentration to help prevent dehydration (which can negatively impact your digestion). Cherries, watermelon, nectarines, peaches, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes are great options.Protein snacks can help with satiety. Nuts, seeds, pistachios, pecans, and walnuts are easy to transport. Tuna and salmon pouches also provide much-needed potassium. Dark chocolate can be just enough for your dessert... not only are you getting the benefit of antioxidants, but you'll save money because you won't be ordering that $10 piece of cake at the restaurant. Oatmeal cups are perfect for breakfast. All you need is hot water. Add in nut or seed butter or dried fruit to give it a little extra flavor.
