Mission Statement
Allen Strk
The purpose of my blog would be to inform people on how to eat well on a busy schedule. This would be targeted towards a college audience, although it could attract older people as well. I travel to and from school on a combined three hours for four days a week. My school and work schedule is rampant, but I’ll always prioritize on eating clean. From January 2013 to May 2014, I went from 235 to 170 pounds. I’ve had experience in maintaining a diet, despite having to travel so much. The content that I’d focus on would be towards moderation and what are good spots to go to in New York City. Also I’d speak about what to avoid, regardless of how appetizing it may look like.
With the obesity rate so high, I’ve heard several people blame it on work overshadowing there life. That still isn’t a valid excuse to eat pizza or a burger on a consistent basis. What sets my blog apart would be incorporating different meals, while traveling from place to place. Most blogs that cover diets are based on eating home cooked meals and focused on avoiding eating out. What I’m doing is looking at places to eat that can keep you trim. Now granted, I’ve appreciated home cooked meals and it contributed to my weight loss. That doesn’t take away how much I had to eat out. When I’m going to school, there are several long days that I have to endure which leads to not being able to eat at home.
I’ll break down on what to avoid while eating out, along with what to look for as well. I’m not sure how the competition is for this particular topic. This is more of a unique take to help younger people that aren’t fortunate in being able to eat a home cooked meal on a frequent basis. This content will be mostly exclusively to schools that are involved in the city or driving to school. It doesn’t apply to people eating on campus because they don’t have to travel extensively. I’m working towards people who are consistently on the move.
I’d update my blog around twice a week. For my posts, I’d envision it would take at least 60 minutes to write each blog. I pride myself on providing information from other websites and my overall experience. I’m not sure whom I’d interview because this is a unique blog. It’s more from a personal experience, while giving out health tips. In terms of specific stories, it wouldn’t be about any specific day. It would be more about past weekly regimes. Then I’d look at other people, who prioritize on health and dieting. With features, I’d like to dictate it from meats, vegetables, pasta, and how to utilize having cheat meals. I’ll have to plan out on what to focus on a weekly basis in breaking down what food to exclusively talk about. It’s a process, but my ideas are starting to flow together.
