ABOUT MICAH AND PAULA LEEN

I’ve always had an issue with my weight and understanding what I could eat and what I couldn’t eat. Actually, I guess it wasn’t an understanding of what not to eat or what I shouldn’t eat but more what I could eat that I actually wanted to eat because, let’s face it, nobody wants their taste buds to know that they’re on a diet, OKAY!?

After losing over 65 pounds working out with my fabulous trainer, Exercise Matt and as a member of “SkyLab” on season three of Bravo’s Work Out, I'm trying to stay faithful to my new healthy lifestyle. And I know I'm not alone. I have been lucky enough to be recognized and told some pretty amazing stories about how my televised journey inspired others to lose weight as well. When I watch cooking shows in search of recipes that are delicious and good for me (whether it’s Rachael Ray, Bobby Flay, or Paula Deen), while I know that the food will taste fantastic, I also know that it might not be the healthiest thing for me (I'm looking your way, Savannah).

That’s where Paula Leen comes in.
