About this listen
Want your kid to be able to eat whatever they want without ever worrying about their weight? With Food Ninjas: How to Raise Your Kids to Be Lean, Mean, Eating Machines, this reality is just a small step away.
In a world full of increasing paranoia about the food we eat and health - obsessed parents imposing more and more bizarre dietary restrictions on their children, Food Ninjas provides the swift kick in the pants that many health fanatical parents need.
Food Ninjas is THE roadmap for raising your children to be the "lucky" ones who can eat whatever they want, whenever they want, and be lean and healthy as a result.
Think your kid needs to eat a bunch of vegetables? Think your kid will become a raging diabetic if he is allowed to consume as much cake, candy, and Coca Cola as he desires? Think your kid will be healthier if you raise her only on whole foods? Wrong, wrong, wrong.
All creatures, humans included, come hardwired with powerful regulatory mechanisms with million-year track records of success. Children come programmed with all the instincts they could ever need to manage their body fat levels, energy levels, fluid intake, and much more - even while eating a modern diet. As a parent, the biggest mistake you can make is to INTERFERE.
Food Ninjas is about stepping out of the way and allowing a child to develop a healthy relationship with food, an optimal metabolic rate, and eat and drink based on internal, instinctual cues. Those internal cues can be trusted.
After listening to Food Ninjas, you will no longer have to control, bribe, struggle, or fight your children to eat this or eat that.
Food Ninjas is the answer for how kids and adults alike can eat in the most casual, intuitive, and carefree way as possible with excellent health to go along with it.

Story
Got hypoglycemia? You feel bad after eating certain foods or going too long without something to snack on? Maybe some headaches, irritability, shakiness, dizziness, cold hands and feet, even some anxiety at times? Well you must have hypoglycemia then. No you don't. Those are indeed some symptoms of true hypoglycemia, but what you're suffering from isn't very likely to be low blood sugar, it is something else, and it's most certainly real and not hypochondria like many doctors might lead you to believe.

Story
Glucose, or blood sugar, is a tiny molecule in our body that has a huge impact on our health. It enters our bloodstream through the starchy or sweet foods we eat. Ninety percent of us suffer from too much glucose in our system—and most of us don’t know it. The symptoms? Cravings, fatigue, infertility, hormonal issues, acne, wrinkles. Drawing on cutting-edge science and her own pioneering research, biochemist Jessie Inchauspé offers ten simple, surprising hacks to help you balance your glucose levels and reverse your symptoms—without going on a diet or giving up the foods you love.

To summarize it all, if you want a healthy, long, energetic, and disease-free life, you need to start fasting. The earlier you try this, the better off you are going to be. In today’s world, if you go against convention, you can almost guarantee health and longevity. It is the opposite of how it should be. Doctors are supposed to help us get better and not make us drug-addicted health disasters. Health starts with trusting the body to do its job of healing and repairing. You must let go of your regular diet to let the body rest and get better.

In recent years, intermittent fasting - restricting calorie intake for a set number of hours or days - has become an increasingly popular diet strategy. While some in the medical community initially dismissed the idea as a dangerous fad, recent research not only validates the safety of fasting for weight loss but also offers compelling evidence of wide-ranging health benefits, from reversal of diabetes and other metabolic disorders to enhanced cognitive function and increased longevity.

Story
The potato hack was modeled after an 1849 diet plan for people that were becoming fat and "dyspeptic" from living too luxuriously. This potato diet simply called for one to eat nothing but potatoes for a few days at a time, promising that fat men become as "lean as they ought to be." One hundred and sixty-seven years later, we are fatter and sicker than ever, but the potato diet still works. Potatoes contains natural drug-like agents that affect inflammation, hunger, insulin, sleep, dreams, mood, and body weight.

worth reading
What did you love best about Food Ninjas?
The information in this book is important, and something you will not find many other places.
Who was your favorite character and why?
NA
What does Matt Stone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His personality comes through a little more, as well as that slight Nashville twang.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The part where he used a feminine sounding voice to read an excerpt from a book written by a woman.
Any additional comments?
I have read other reviews where people criticize Matt for his sometimes adolescent humor and informal writing style. Depending on your personality, you will love that or hate it, but however you feel about it, don't let it dissuade you from reading his books. I have found the information invaluable for my own health and eating habits and for my family.
