This, however, is not the case with Bushra Khan who took her vision of a healthy lifestyle and carried it forward to spearhead Lean Nation Eats, which provides a one-stop solution for calorie counted ready to serve meals at their outlet in Chef’s Table throughout the day.
A Little about Bushra
Bushra expresses to the Prestige team her pride as a mother of a four-year-old daughter and wife of a man who is quite conscious about health. She claimed that her stepping into motherhood and her husband were two of the most major aspirations behind starting Lean Nation Eats. Her family follows a healthy routine for going to sleep and waking up as well as for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
As we discussed health and lifestyle, she explained more about her three aspirations behind Lean Nation Eats.
What were the Aspirations Behind Lean Nation Eats?
Influence of Motherhood
Bushra became more conscious about dietary solutions and lifestyle after the birth of her daughter. She began using unconventional alternative food types to make delicious desserts for her daughter. Which caught on at her daughter’s school and Bushra’s social circle, bringing along with it a myriad of house guests, who Bushra loved to entertain, all in awe of the secret recipe.
A Health-freak Husband
She spoke of her husband as a source of inspiration for her lifestyle. She praised his commitment to fitness and living a healthy lifestyle and confessed that he played a major part in enabling her to acquire what she has.
She talked more about her concerns and the current state and future state of Lean Nation.
What were her Barriers and Concerns?
Bushra begins her concerns with a stark comparison to our older generations that could handle more workload as a result of eating healthier. She blames the surplus use of oil and other fatty substances in our food that hold us back from peak productivity.
Bushra hinted towards the limited understanding of calorie intake in our country citing examples of various dishes on their menu, which are exquisitely tasty and available in a low calorie count. But customers often skew away from it thinking it’s too much for them and eat at stores that do not provide a calorie count and end up consuming way more than functioning adults need, often unaware of how much their body actually requires. She believes that people recognize the need for a healthy diet but aren’t conscious enough to maintain one.
Finally, Bushra talked about our collective responsibility towards more environment friendly alternatives such as replacing plastic straws with metal ones and other possible methods.
What’s Cooking with Lean Nation Eats Right Now?
Bushra’s work is focused mostly on weekdays when people tend to be more active and conscious. She recognizes that the idea of less oily and healthier diets is a radically new concept for a lot of people, but at the same time believes that people are beginning to realize its worth.
Lean Nation Eats clients seem ecstatic about all the progress they’ve made from adapting healthier diets, losing weight and getting improved skin and have started enjoying unconventional delicacies such as the “Pumpkin Cheesecake”, a dish that was previously looked at with horror and disbelief. Besides, Lean Nation Eats also caters a host of items including but not limited to healthy poke bowls, nutritious entrees such as cauliflower fried rice and mexican chicken lettuce wraps. With diverse vegetable soups and ‘green’ smoothie alternatives – Lean Nation Eats is making quite the impact.
Lean Nation Ramadan Exclusives:
On average, we tend to consume far more calories during Ramadan then we do the rest of the year, adding to our weight, ruining our skin and generally making it harder to achieve our goals.
Lean Nation Eats caters to this exact problem by offering platters for Iftar and Sehri, categorizing it to fit your calorie intake (Clean – Semi Cheat – Full On Cheat). These dishes aren’t just a treat for your health but most reviews claim that they’re significantly better and tastier than conventional Ramadan meals.
Further Plans for Lean Nation Eats:
While Lean Nation Eats currently is catered towards adults, Bushra hopes to take children into consideration when curating new menus in their existing setup. Heavily inspired by US Myplate website, Lean Nation Eats, under her guidance is sure to be the ultimate nutritional intake.
With their operations and content for the next few months preplanned, business for Lean Nation Eats goes as usual with an increasing number of customers every day.
At the end of the day, the one thing we know for sure is Bushra Khan and Lean Nation Eats are pivotal in the formation of a Bangladesh that eats healthier.
