He will grow out if it?

This comment comes out of everyone's mouth when we try to explain MCAD to family or  close friends. While this sounds amazing, unfortunately he won't. So I always explain it another way and tell them briefly about how Zion got two mutated genes one from me and one from pat...and those genes cause the way Zion's body metabolizes fats to energy. You use energy constantly, just walking and him as a baby crying burns energy. Yes one day he will be able to go "regular " lengths between feedings but say he was playing outside for an hour in the summer, the heat plus using energy from playing...he would be running on empty and would need a snack. 

  Some frequently asked questions I get are, will he be prone to obesity? No, just like any child he should eat healthy! And I have him on a heart healthy diet. His body doesn't metabolize fats well so fried foods are not good for him.
