Today's episode, we are going to give you one simple seven-day challenge to bring awareness to the amount of food that you are putting in your mouth in the most unconscious way.

0:13.0

And you're going to be able to reduce your total caloric intake by 350 calories every week for the rest of your life by implementing this one simple solution.

0:22.0

This is the Diesel Dad. My name is Anders Wanderen and we created this channel because a lot of dads are fat and unhappy and I don't want you to be one of them.

0:31.0

What I'm talking about today is called the Dad Tax. I was on a call. Every time we work with our mentorship clients, we have a weekly goal that we want to set.

0:41.0

It's about stacking really healthy behavioral habits and finding something in their daily life that they can just tweak a little bit to start to stack the chips in their favor.

0:51.0

Tilt the scales so that everything that they're doing now, which was unhealthy, is now a much healthier habit.

0:58.0

It's a really simple way for us over time to stack really good habits and if we take up 24 hours of your day, we could have it because we're incrementally stacking really healthy things on top of healthy things.

1:10.0

All of a sudden we start to push out your abilities that even have bad habits.

1:15.0

This is like a standard practice. We do it every single week. We do it with all of our clients. Then we give them a scale of 1 to 10.

1:22.0

How doable is this new habit and how likely are you going to be able to implement it and keep it going sustainably?

1:29.0

It's a beautiful thing. It's awesome because we get to hear really cool goals that people have that we may not have ever thought about.

1:35.0

The one today is called the dad tax and it's hands down the most like radical goal for a seven day self commitment I've ever heard of because I'm a victim, you're a victim.

1:49.0

Everyone you know that it has a child that eats food, which I hope is your kid, is a victim of this thing.

1:58.0

It's the most unconscious way that you're adding 300, 500 plus calories to your diet without even thinking about it throughout the day.

2:06.0

Not only that, it's 350 to 500 calories of absolute trash food that just beats you down, causes crazy inflammation, makes you feel like crap and you just don't even know why you're doing it.

2:17.0

On top of that, I think the most important piece of this, I'm going to get into exactly what I want you to do over the next seven days.

2:24.0

But the most important piece is that it's a huge wake up call in understanding how much food actually goes into your mouth because when you start to implement the solution, it becomes really challenging.

2:38.0

That's why it's a seven day challenge that I'm challenging you to do. It's completely free. You can do it. You don't have to do it.

2:43.0

But what I'm going to do no matter what is put it in your brains that you have to, you have to be aware of the amount of food you're going to do.

2:52.0

So what is the dad tax? Well, very simply, it's the tax that you put on your kids for giving them delicious foods and you, and they pay that tax to you, the dad, by giving you bites of whatever delicious food is.

3:05.0

So check it out. Here's something that we do in my household all the time and exactly how I am a victim, not a victim, but a person that has to implement the dad tax.

3:16.0

So we have a one mile loop around our block. We go on this walk all the time. It's something super cool. My daughter has now gotten to the point where she can kind of like run. She's three years old. She can kind of run like half a bit.
