Another big Thank You. We have changed our eating since finding your blog. My children are eating majority of “real foods” now, and I will continue till I make it 100%.
I love your recipes, and have tried many!!
Thank you for the daily reminders, and recipes. You are helping many families.
Hi Lisa– Yes, like others have said– for every instance someone takes the time to say something rude or profane just remember that your blog has changed someone’s life (including mine and my family’s) positively. I’ll never understand why people feel slinging mud via the internet is an okay thing to do. Keep up the good work.
I love your website so thank you for all that you do. I have gotten a lot of great ideas and recipes to help add more variety to my family’s diet. Keep up the great work and here’s to clean eating!
I just wanted to say thank you. Your website has inspired me to take a closer look at what my family and I were eating. I have been able to drastically change how they eat with out them noticing much of a difference.
Thank you for all the information you and your team provides! My husband and I love reading all of your articles. My genes are unfortunately not the best and after I found out I have the mutated brca1 gene, I decided that was it and we would be completely changing our lifestyle for our little girls sake and future health! We have been going strong for a year, my husband lost 40 lbs and I lost 30. We are healthy, have more energy and try to pass on your website to everyone who comes in contact with us! Also, thank you for the children lunch ideas because those help tremendously as well! Keep up these amazing things you all are doing!
Thank you to you and all who have made this website possible!! I truly hope you are strong enough not to let the negative feedback discourage you from what you are doing. As the others said, ya’all are changing lives in the best way possible… Educating!! You are giving people the knowledge to make the decision for themselves how they want to eat. Of course, it’s not for everyone, and those who strongly disagree have the right to disagree but should still behave in a civil manner. PLEASE don’t let those few folks discourage you. My family is just within reach of being processed food free and we couldn’t have done it without you, your tips, and the recipes. Blessings to you all, and keep up the inspiring work you do!!
Lisa, I am so thankful for your blog and have been sad to see some negative comments lately. I’ve always found you to be incredibly down to earth and approachable. Like so many others, your blog has changed my life. We’ve always eaten well, and shop at Trader Joes and our amazing local coop. But, we still ate a ton of organic junk food – tons of chips, boxed Mac and cheese, and bread with a million ingredient and too many condiments. I was definitely guilty of thinking if I bought it at the coop, then it’s an healthy option. Just a month or so into eating mostly real food, I feel amazing, my family looks great and we’re super happy with stepping things up a notch. Thank you so much for making us aware of what’s really in our food and helping us make the best possible choices. What you’re doing is so important. Hang in there and don’t let the naysayers get you down.
I love your posts. Even though I know it may be impossible to completely cut out all processed foods from my life in part because of a busy lifestyle and in part because there are just some things that I cannot do myself(homemade Oreos for instance) you have provided so many tips and tricks and information in general that have helped me cut processed foods from my everyday diet. Having a son with food allergies means earring less processed food is a necessity and being informed about the food we buy is the first step to making this a reality.
Hi Lisa, I just wanted to say that i came across your website a couple of weeks ago, whilst looking at changing my diet to ‘real food’ and being a little a little nervous about it, was really pleased to see your mini challenges, and started with the eat fruit/veg at every meal one. I was so impressed with how i felt, and how easy it was that I jumped right in, and have completely overhauled what i am eating – but if it wasnt for you and this website, i would still be reading about it, and thinking i wish i could do that!! i check in every day, and try out different recipes, and although i am in the uk, so we dont have the same shops as you, and i sometimes have to google ingredients, cos we call it something different, i think it is a most amazing tool, and i am so greatful for all your hard work, and sharing your families food habits so openly. I sometimes see the negative comments on here, and am shocked that people can be so judgemental, but dont let them spoil the amazing work that you do. Thank you from the botto of my heart.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work. You have been such an inspiration for me and my family. You have truly changed out lives!
Lisa, I thank you too! You and “FoodBabe” have gotten me to really examine what I am putting in front of my family. I’m not where I want to be yet, but your posts are helpful, encouraging, and inspiring. Thank you for your research. You are appreciated in Wisconsin!
Keep up all the hard work! I absolutely love your website!!
