Daniel Green has always been ahead of his time. The handsome, fit celebrity chef has been talking about eliminating saturated fats from diets and living by the bible of clean eating for the past 20 years – long before London’s sensible eating food stars the Hemsley sisters were even old enough to vote.

Having lost a tremendous amount of weight as a teenager through his low-fat diet, the self-taught, British-born chef has gone on to international success as a healthy food proponent, writing healthy eating and Paleo cookbooks and judging on shows like the Food Network’s Kitchen Inferno.
