is the long game, not the short game, not the let's eat as perfectly healthy as possible today, but rather I wanna encourage you and help you learn how to eat healthy for the rest of your life. So you give them the options and they pick and they eat. And what typically happens most of the time

is they eat all of the thing that they love and eat a little bit of the stuff that you really want them to eat. But then over time, what happens, and again, I've done this and there's data on this, they'll slowly start to experiment and pick other things and they'll develop a nice wide breadth of of things that they enjoy that are all within that category of foods that you approve of.

This was very challenging for me growing up by – I had two immigrant parents who – the way that I was taught to eat was – That's your food. That's what you're going to eat. And if you don't finish it, you're going to sit here until you finish it. That's how I was brought up.

So to tell, to do this to my kids and put them, you know, five options in front of them and watch them leave four of them untouched or barely touched and eat all of one. And then to let them go, okay, I'm done. It like ate inside of me. It was like the storm inside of me, but, uh, I, you know, stuck with it, stuck with it. And it's really resulting in some really, really good behaviors.

The relationship they're developing is a good relationship with food where they have some autonomy, they feel some control. That's what stays with you as you become an adult. What you don't want staying with your kid as they become an adult is I was forced this way, I hated it, it was a bad experience. I'm gonna go rebel and do my own thing. All right, so exercise. Let's talk about exercise.
