Along the way though\u00a0he realized that very few of the products available from the\u00a0store or elsewhere fit the requirements that he wanted.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out\u00a0he wasn&#8217;t alone.<\/p>\n<p>Too many &#8216;diet&#8217; food products are either unpalatable or are created using a laundry list of crazy processed additives.\u00a0He\u00a0is\u00a0not an organic foodie by any stretch, but that doesn&#8217;t mean\u00a0he\u00a0didn&#8217;t prefer simpler ingredients.Too many other &#8216;diet&#8217; foods are not nutritionally accurate.<\/p>\n<p>Why weren&#8217;t there tons of products that tasted good, were low in calories in carbs, used high quality ingredients, and were nutritionally accurate?<\/p>\n<h3>A\u00a0Company is Born<\/h3>\n<p>Working with the best bakeries available, Andrew started to develop foods that fit these new requirements under the name ThinSlim Foods. The first product, 40 calorie, 2g net carb muffins crafted with minimal preservatives and all natural erythritol as a sweetener were so good the only way to convice people they were real was with nutritional lab testing.<\/p>\n<h3>An Idea Takes Root<\/h3>\n<p>What if? Creating a palatable &#8216;diet&#8217; muffin is hard enough, but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>What if a food was given a responsibility? What if a food had to INSPIRE people to live healthier?<\/p>\n<p>Normally diet food makes it hard for people to live healthy. Healthy lifestyle failure results because people feel the need to cheat.\u00a0But what if \u00a0&#8216;cheat food&#8217; wasn&#8217;t bad for you and therefore you could live a healthy lifestyle while still eating the food you enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>This is the idea that ThinSlim Foods is based around. All current and potential products are thrown against this heavy ideal.<\/p>\n<p>ThinSlim Foods is creating foods that make it easier to live a healthy lifestyle. So easy it inspires people to live healthier.<\/p>\n<h3>Join Us<\/h3>\n<p>What we quickly realized though, is that we can&#8217;t do this alone.\u00a0Inspiring healthy lifestyles through food is no easy task.
