I believe that most nutrition gurus who promote a high fat diet are ignoring the impact that blood fats have on our risk for chronic disease. 

High fat diets spike triglycerides after a meal which can be just as harmful as high levels of blood sugar.

If you enjoy eating higher fat, please tune in and let me now what you think about the info.

If you are a parent you are probably familiar with the struggle of attempting to get children to eat real food amidst the onslaught of deliciously manufactured, ,colorful, cute-furry-mascot-endorsed junk foods.

Food companies have spent lots of time and money creating and selling junk foods to your children that appeal to their most primitive desires. A bowl of oatmeal doesn't look, taste, or feel nearly as appealing as fruity pebbles and it doesn't pack the same flavor explosion. Plus, Fred Flintsone doesn't eat oatmeal. 

In this environment, we have to get creative in our quest to have children who aren't raised eating franken-foods. 

Today, I am going to give you 8 tips that I use and have taught hundreds of parents before to implement with their children. 

Check out the episode and start implementing these strategies to raise children who appreciate the value of nutritious food buy in to your desire to create a healthy home.
