Being a New Yorker, I am always busy and very time consumed. I am either at school, writing papers, in the library, working, or helping out my sister with her teenage crisis’. I live with my mother and sister, both who do not cook on a regular basis. My mother comes home too late and too tired to work in kitchen. My sister is too young to be trusted with preparing a meal. I am usually forced to order food from local restaurants, but strongly dislike doing so. Like every other girl my age, I constantly count calories and battle diets. I refuse to eat fast food or intake more than the recommended 2,000 calories. Every night I find myself in the same dilemma – hungry, but not wanting to eat anything too fattening. This blog appeals to me because it is focused directly on eating healthy. It has an enormous variety of fast, healthy, and nutritious meals anyone could make. It helps eliminate my daily dilemma by giving me more options and ideas for healthy meals.
This blog seems ideal to me because it very well organized, easy to navigate, has tons of ideas, and has a lot of useful information. The layout of the blog is very well structured. All of the recipes for different occasions and everyday dinners, ways to save money, and exercise tips are on the left hand side of the blog. This makes it easy to find anything that is being looked for. All of the tabs are located in one place so that the person reading it does not have to click multiple links to get to what they are looking for. I also think this blog is great because it is updated very frequently. The blogger posts something new almost every single day. This shows that the blogger is just as interested and obsessed about the topic as the person reading the blog. The blog also has many pictures and videos of other people who have tried these healthier meals and have benefited from them.
This blog is unique because it helps people stop obsessing about their calorie intake. The goal is to eat delicious, low fat food and enjoy it at the same time. The recipes give very detailed explanations on how to prepare the meals and make it easy for the reader to follow the instructions. The blog is very clear, straightforward, and keeps the attention of the readers. When I was looking through it, I just kept reading through all the different blogs. It maintains the audience focused on trying new ways to eat healthier. It is very appealing to people like me, who are always searching for better alternatives to the average, more fattening foods. People who want to eat healthy can definitely refer to this blog and take away many new ideas as well as healthier eating habits.
