In this episode #20 of The Whole Circle, we are spreading inspiration on healthy eating, with Claire from Dom’s Kitchen!
Today we chat to the incredibly inspiring and energetic Claire who has transformed herself from a stressed-out corporate lawyer, with a love for takeaway and frozen meals, to a self-proclaimed advocate for healthy living.
Claire’s making a difference, by spreading the message that you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen to change your eating habits and that we can pass on the positive message of food, especially the eating habits passed down to our children.
It was only a few years ago that Claire realised she needed to do something about her eating habits, like many of us innocently falling victim to everyday convenience foods. Once she realised the wool had been pulled over her eyes, she dug deeper and deeper to find the truth behind supermarket food labels. Claire is on a mission to turn our eating habits around, one step at a time, to avoid leaving us in an overwhelmed state when it comes to nutrition.
Claire runs us through her paleo based diet and some of her favourite snacks she creates for her five-year-old son Dom, including bliss balls, muesli bars and cauliflower popcorn. She also has some hot tips for disguising vegetables in sweet snacks and which homemade dips work best when combined with otherwise plain, raw vegetables.
We also take an in-depth look at Claire’s views on the governments “5-star food rating” system and why she has created a petition to ban this controversial system. We find out why a product with a high rating isn’t necessarily healthy and in fact can carry very little nutritional value.
As always we focus on looking into reading the back of food labels rather than what’s advertised on the front!
