'I’m in better shape now than I was when I was 30. I don’t want to die young. I want to be around for my kids,' he revealed in a new interview with People.

Share'I’ve changed my lifestyle in the last couple years — what I eat, when I eat, how I eat. I don’t want to be one of those guys that burns up through the tunnel,' he shared.
The celebrity chef shared that he wakes up at 6 a.m. to work out every morning, has cut down on his alcohol consumption, and has started intermittent fasting, following a diet that's reduced in carbs and meat, with the help of a nutritionist.

'I don’t eat until noon. At first I was worried it would make me sluggish, but my body learned the routine, and my energy increased,' he explained.
He also explained how he manages to film his show, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives while staying on track with his diet.
'Everybody thinks I chug down the whole cheeseburger. I’ll try two items in a restaurant, three restaurants in a day. By the time I’ve had two bites of each food, I’m full.'

The Food Network star became famous for trying all sorts of foods for his TV shows, but last year he insisted that's not what his regular diet is comprised of, making it clear he's a 'big fan' of eating salads when he's not filming one of his shows.
He talked with GQ as part of their Real Diet series, where he spoke candidly about his diet: 'People always think that I must just eat deep-fried pizzas and cheeseburgers for lunch,' Fieri began.
'I'm a big salad fan, big sushi fan, and Thai food fan,' he added, while opening up about how, 'lunch is always set up to contrast dinner.'
There for his kids: He added that he wants to be there for his grandchildren as well. Fieri shares sons Ryder, 16, and Hunter, 26, with wife Lori Brisson who he's been married to since 1995
'So, if I know we're going to be doing a big dinner, like barbecue, steak, or Asian food, I'll make sure I don't eat Thai for lunch,' he clarified.
Since he makes a living eating at different restaurants for his various TV shows, when he's not on camera, he likes to cook at home instead of going out.
'I typically cook every meal in the home. I don't eat out a lot because I'm usually on the road eating out,' he said.
He also spoke about his favorite snacks, which include beef jerky and pretzels among his favorites.
