I was 6 years old when undercooked pork nearly killed me.
Seizures. Years of heavy medication. I beat the disease, but it left me with a weight struggle that shaped my whole life.
Crash diets. Liquid diets. Atkins. You name it, I tried it. I failed more times than I can count.
But here’s what all those years taught me. There is no perfect diet. The people who win are the ones who find a way to stick to their goals when the odds are stacked against them. I had already beaten the odds once. I could do it again.
So in 2014, in a one-bedroom studio in Downtown San Mateo, 3 friends and I started Local Foodz with nothing but hopes, dreams, and a plan.
12 years later, we’re just as passionate as day 1. We can’t do the hard part for you. Showing up for your goals is on you. But our food, our website, our service, all of it is built to make sticking with it a little easier.
Every meal has one goal. Feed your inner Athlete.
