In this honest and practical episode, we break down our biggest diet mistakes and wins - from the dark days of Hot Pockets and vegan experiments to finding sustainable approaches that actually work for busy fathers.
What You'll Learn:
Why This Matters for Dads: Your kids are watching and learning from your food choices. In a world where laboratories design ultra-palatable foods to hook children, giving them a framework for healthy eating isn't optional - it's one of the highest stakes areas where you're setting an example.
We share our current daily eating routines, discuss the psychological aspects of food addiction, and explain why this generation of parents can't just "wing it" like previous generations.
Key Takeaway: There's no one-size-fits-all approach, but there are foundational principles that work. Whether you go high-protein flexible or strict carnivore, the goal is finding what's sustainable for your life while modeling healthy choices for your children.
