Today we’d like to introduce you to Angela Hoy.
Angela, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Hello, so I started my meal prep business from a personal weight loss journey I was going through. I was starting off in fitness to get in shape and lose weight but I noticed as I was working out I still wasn’t losing weight the way I would like. After doing some research and looking through a lot of Instagram post where people were stating that nutrition was a big part of them loosing weight and to help them they started meal prepping. After reading on exactly what meal prepping was I started watching YouTube videos on how to do so for myself.
A few months into meal prepping and working out the weight finally began to fall off. I was so excited and started sharing my progress through social media and was surprised as to how many people were watching and rooting for me. I then began getting messages about prepping for others, at first I declined because I didn’t know if that’s what I wanted to do. But I’ve always had a passion for cooking as my dad is a chef, so cooking as always came so natural. So in Jan. 2019, I got my food handling license and started taking clients. Being able to help someone else during there weight loss to have meals ready for on the go days or when they simply don’t have the time to prep food for themselves has been such a joy. Getting happy text and happy omg my weight is coming off and your meals are so delicious I kept going. Today I have over 15 clients. I am looking to add more at all times.
Has it been a smooth road?
No, it hasn’t been a smooth road. I would doubt myself at times, worried if my taste of cooking would work for everyone. But I knew my talent and I stopped doubting my gift. I would struggle on how to make sure I was budgeting and making sure I was actually profiting. I had to read a lot of material on finances to finally get it right. I was worried if my prices were to high or too low. But I began following other meal prep providers, I started asking questions. And I finally found my way of making sure I created what was best.
