Why Bariatric Foodie Will Not Be Selling Holiday Survival Kits This Year

This video is very shaky. Sorry! It basically says the same thing you will read below.
 

But first, let’s get everyone on the same page. With so many new Foodies each day, some of you are going “What the HECK is a Holiday Survival Kit?”

In years past, to help folks cope with the holidays, I offered a limited number of Holiday Survival Kits, containing WLS-friendly holiday recipes and two holiday-themed “protein shake sample kits” which came with everything you needed to make a holiday themed shake flavor, except perishables.

So now that you know what it is you are going, “Why’d you tell us about this if you’re not doing it anymore???”

I understand. Trust me.

As for the "why?" Frankly, we've gotten pretty big and I feel like there are better ways I can support you guys through the holidays than trying to sell 200 kits to more than 14,000 people!

So, without further adieu, here's are the ways Bariatric Foodie will help you get through the holidays with the least amount of stress (and homicide) possible:

• Check out The Bariatric Foodie Holiday Survival Guide on Amazon. This book contains all the recipes I’ve ever included in any of my Holiday Survival Kits. You’ll find WLS-friendly recipes (and recipe alternatives) for all your favorites, including baked mac ‘n cheese (hint: no pasta!), stuffing and even a no-sugar added cranberry sauce recipe. And my wonderful friend Joy Muller, of Kosher Bariatric, contributed to this book as well with some WLS-friendly kosher meals! The book also has all the recipes to all the protein shake sample kits I’ve ever sold.

• For the past two years, I’ve also done the “Bariatric Foodie Season of Giving.” That’s where I invite companies we love to spoil you guys rotten with prizes. I'm bring that back this year BUT with a twist. I'm going to use the prizes to motivate you all to stay on track during the holidays. Stay tuned for details!

• Lastly, protein shake sample kits aren’t completely dying. As a part of the Season of Giving, I’ll also be making up some sample kits from years past to give away, to help keep you motivated.

In addition, I’ll be using Facebook and Twitter to be a support to you as you prepare your holiday meals. I’ll not only be starting threads leading up to the big days, I’m also always available via email at bariatricfoodie@yahoo.com to answer recipe questions (about my recipes or anyone else’s) as well as answer questions about The Bariatric Foodie Holiday Survival Guide.

So that’s my plan and I’m sticking to it! I hope you’ll join me for a great holiday season, full of fun, prizes, motivation and inspiration.

Keep playing with your food!
