As a chef and father, it kills me that children are fed processed foods, fast food clones, foods loaded with preservatives and high-fructose corn syrup.

Well, there are certain foods that I prefer not to eat because they're just such a jolt to the system.

I can safely say that other than macaroni and cheese, there's no processed food in my life. There's no inorganic food in my life these days. There's no junk food. There's not a lot of sugar. There's no soy. I mean, really everything that's going into my body is pretty pure.

I eat foods such as fish, chicken, fruit and vegetables while avoiding red meat, dairy and wheat.

Processed foods cause inflammation, a source of most chronic illnesses as well as stress.

I've been more conscious of my salt intake, sugar intake, making sure I'm not eating as many processed foods.

But I don't do the diet thing anymore. I'm a big believer in feeding your body what it needs. Deny yourself something and you're going to end up shoving your face full of it.

I don't eat any dairy products at all, usually - it's a self-imposed ban. I've done it for a year now, since I was ill, but it's so hard.

I eat what I want but in moderation.

Eat food. Eat actual food. I try to not eat anything processed or sugar-free - I eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
