Hear more about Danny’s parenting philosophy, how he started his kids on keto, and how he educates his family on proper nutrition.   Enjoy the show!  Takeaways Don’t just tell your kids not to eat something, but rather give them autonomy and teach them how foods affect their body.

Donate it or whatever; just get it out of the house.” “We are in a constantly fed state… the average American eats 11 meals a day… it’s the snacking epidemic.” “Winner’s don’t lose; they learn.” “Act now. Just do not waste any more time. People think we have so much time and we don’t… we can die” “Never be afraid to give” “Write yourself a eulogy. See what you think people would say about you right now. What do you want them to say about you? Then start from there and say, ‘how do I create that.’” “You’ve got to learn everyday… learn about the things you are passionate about every day. Listen to the people that disagree with you…” If you like today’s episode, subscribe on Apple Podcasts at What The Fat and leave us a 5-star, positive review.
