lK Love

 

When I started lK in November of 2009, I did it not thinking that someday (and someday SOON), I was going to have fans worldwide.  I have FANS!  Someone asked me if I was “Nedah from leanKitchen” the other day.  Wow.  Someone called into the radio show and said he looks at the site “all the time.”  If you google my chocolate covered cherry bars, it pops up on TONS of health professionals websites.  It’s always such a compliment!  It never ceases to floor me!  I am so happy to help so many people.  It truly is my pleasure!  I wanted to compile a list of the wonderful things people have said, to remind me why I do this, and how happy I am to help you acheive your fat-loss goals.  Thanks, everyone!  I appreciate it immensely.

Here’s what others had to say:

I am a very busy Mom with three young boys.  I just started working again, and I am very active in my children’s schools.  My youngest son is 3 so I no longer had the excuse of just having a baby to why I had so much extra weight on my body.  Since discovering leankitchen.com I have lost about 10 lbs!  When I first found the site I wasn’t sure if it was for me.  I am not a vegetarian, but I eat very little meat.  The more I read the recipes that Nedah posted the more I realized that I could make the theory of supportive eating work for me.  I base my meals first around vegetables and then I add the protein.  I do have to admit that I still eat grains from time to time, but when I do I make it the smallest part of my meal and they are always unprocessed whole grains.  My results have been amazing.  Other then the weight loss I have also noticed that when I eat supportively I have so much more energy.  Thanks to the lean kitchen website I now have easy access to a plethora of recipes so it is easy to stick with supportive eating.  Here’s to the next ten pounds melting away.  Thanks Nedah!” -Kristin

What do I love about leankitchen? WHAT DON’T I LOVE?! Okay…let’s get serious. Before leankitchen, cooking to me was re-heating things in my microwave! SAD, I know but cooking just didn’t appeal to me. I would get distracted and put the wrong ingredient in when trying to follow a recipe (baking soda instead of baking powder), or maybe even the the wrong amount (a tbls insead of tsp), or even mix up recipes (putting mandarin oranges into a punch – mixed it up with a jello salad recipe…they were on the same page – talented, I know.)
I would get impatient waiting for things to cook (let’s be honest, I should say waiting for things to burn). Things just never came out the way I wanted them to – they didn’t look like the picture, they didn’t taste the way my mom’s did…and so on and so on.
But now I am loving being in my kitchen!! I try every recipe I am able to on leankitchen and I get excited to find new ones to try! I am eating foods I never thought possible, putting together meals that are not only beautiful to look at but AMAZINGLY good to eat and supportive! It’s the perfect combo!!!!

When we used to have family get-togethers, it was always my job to bring the rolls or chips and dip. My family NEVER trusted me to make anything – THEY KNEW BETTER! My trach-record wasn’t exactly the best! Now I make things and MY FAMILY ACTUALLY EATS IT…the difference now? Well, they’re not just eating my dish to be nice – THEY ACTUALLY LIKE IT!
LEANKITCHEN has changed my life – I know that sounds drastic but it’s true.
And the best part? I know my mom would be so proud… ”      -Deveney C.

“I LOVE lK. I love that you are a real person who is LOCAL, someone I can relate to! You are living proof that there is no magic to being healthy & losing weight; but rather it’s about making wise changes and choices and those can include delicious foods! Keep up the great work!!” -Jane M.

“Nedah,
I love your LK website because I love your recipes. You have come up with some amazing food ideas that have helped me stay on track. So I guess my favorite part are definetly the recipes, but I do enjoy reading your stories leading up to the recipes. And of course who would not enjoy looking at all the beautiful pictures! ”   -Kristianne L.

“Nedah,
I love EVERYTHING about LK!! But mostly I love your personal touch with stories and the fact that I can browse your site and search for recipes which I can make using ingredients that I have just by entering the ingredient in the search field to bring up whatever recipes you have with that in it!! I also love how helpful you are meaning if I have a recipe that needs to be “leankitchenfied” you do!!! So basically I love everything…oh and did I mention I love the “new look” of LK? Love that too!! : ) ”  -SaraLee K.

What I LOVE about Lean Kitchen is that a a skeptical person your receipes are great. They are easy, healthy and taste amazing. I also love that you are a real person. You always share stories about life and family. Thanks!!! -Tabitha

When I am thinking whats for dinner I turn to one of your ideas. I was thinking this weekend they served articoke dip and some ham slices rolled with cream cheese and asparagus and I was thinking how would Nedah make it more supportive. I t is nice to have a place to go when you just can’t think or for someone going through the same things. Thank you… -Corinna

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your recipes!! I’m a fairly new reader but I’ve already tried out a few recipes!! One was used on 4th of July for a bbq… it was a HIT!
Thank you!
Another favorite of mine is your pictures that go along with your recipes… personally it helps me know what the end product should look like! -Katy

Well, to say leanKitchen has taken an immense undertaking by making eating healthy appealing is a huge understatement. What I like best is the fact that the recipes on here are real world based, meaning they are affordable to make, time friendly, kid friendly, and support health and fat loss which are two things 99% of us desperately need. The done-for-you recipes are just that, done for you so you don’t have to come up with some concoction and stress whether it is going to be healthy for you or if you or anyone else will actually eat it. -Ben W.

 I Love that when I make a lean kitchen recipe and I’m eating it at work or out and about and I have someone ask me about it I get to tell them what it is and blow them away. Such as the black bean brownies or your lemon bars. Then I’ll tell them about lean kitchen and it’s usually someone who’ve I’ve seen trying to watch their weight or eat supportively so I’m excited to be able to pitch lean kitchen because I love so many of the recipes and I know they will benefit from them too. I recently made the zucchini chicken pesto for dinner and that came out so wonderfully delicious! I’ve lost 15 lbs in the last 2 months. A combo of work and eating well.  Thank you lean kitchen! -Shanna S.

I love it all! The recipes, the pictures, all of it! The recipes are so quick and easy, which is definitely a plus for any busy family. I also love the fact that you are doing this for us and having fun at the same time!! Keep up the good work Nedah! -Meagan

I love all the recipes that you provide not only with your newsletter but on Facebook as well. You also cater to many different “lifestyles” (low carb, low calorie, etc). You don’t just focus on one group. You also so that it can work. A lot of your recipes I have tried and “tweaked” for myself and my lifestyle. I still can’t wait to try your “rice” (cauliflower). -Dara

Nedah, you know how much I love leanKitchen! You have not only taught me how to eat supportively, but how to cook! Before leanKitchen, I could boil water and make pasta or shepard’s pie. That’s it! Now, I’m baking with black beans, simmering scallops and grilling pineapple! It’s fantastic! And I absolutely love your photos! But most of all I love sharing leanKitchen.com and your recipes with friends and family. Everyone wants to know how to eat healthy and still have it be easy, affordable and tasty and you have done just that.

You have changed the way I look at eating and cooking and you are changing lives everyday with your stories and recipes! You are an inspiration! -Hallie
