Do you think it's weird that I want to be a baker..but I'm a health nut?!
Can I still be thin and athletic..and yet..own a bakery??????
Answers: I want to open my own bakery and offer all sorts of baked goods. However, I am a health nut, and I excersize regularly and don't eat junk all the time. I really want to offer a "diet friendly" and diebetic section of baked goods too. But..do you think that I am a controdiction? I mean, I would offer JUST "healthy" baked goods..but I don't think that I would get as much costumer service..Or do you think that I would? I don't know..but I just love to bake!...I just don't eat those sweet treats all the time like some chefs and pastry people do :)

i have a similar problem. i'm in culinary school and am very healthy myself, but everyone says "never trust a skinny chef."
whatever!
so i feel you on that.
one of my goals is to open a healthy restaurant, i really don't eat unhealthy food either. also, i think its possible for there to be fast food chains that offer completely healthy things.
i think that if you want to open your healthy bakery, one of the most important things you will have to look for (at least for now and probably a few more decades) is location. you'll probably have to find a very upward thinking enviornment. so, probably a big, urban area. or an area where alot of health nuts live. haha! like a hippy area, j/k!
i think what you're trying to do is great, not weird at all.
good luck!
Not weird at all! Just because you like eating healthy and exersizing but at the same time love to bake, doesnt mean you have to eat the things you bake! Go ahead and open your bakery! Good luck!
Well it seems a bit off but maybe this will help you serve customers that are healt food nuts like yourself. and of course you can you just have to have a taste tester so that you know that the sweets come out right! But seriously go for it it never hurts to try im sure you'll be great
There is a thing called healthy baking, so why not...
It depends on your market as to whether or not it will be successful if you only offer healthy options. However, there are two sides to that. One, you could offer only healthy stuff and get known for it and become a destination. Again, you must have a big enough clientele or live in an area where people tend to focus on health. Or two, you offer both and perhaps get both types of clients.
I think that plenty of people who love baking also love a healthy lifestyle, one doesn't rule out the other. Just be sure to do a business plan and know what you're getting into. Remember that food businesses most often times fail, so you have to have a realistic idea of what to expect. Try talking to other owners of bakeries and see what challenges they face (outside of your area, they probably won't help you become their competition!). Good luck
Not at all that sounds great!
No I don't think it's weird. I think it's great if you love to bake.
You might need to sell regular baked goods, but it's good that you don't eat junk food...that way you won't gain weight.
I knew people who worked in bakeries & at 1st they put on 5-10 lbs, but then they stopped eating pastries altogether.
So, I think you can be thin & athletic & own a bakery.
Good luck.
sounds like a great idea to me. i work out alot and eat baked goods quite often. i think it is a good balance. good luck.
That would definitely be a certain niche that you are settling into. You would have to do a lot of research on locations that are looking for that type of specialized baking. You might have a better chance at staying within your healthy baking ideas if you look more towards a bakery that sells your products wholesale, to other companies (health food stores and markets would be the demographic that you are looking to hit).
That way your location can vary more, and you are not tied down to selling only what a walk in consumer might buy at any particular time. This would make it easier for you to get your specialized bakery goods into many markets without relying only on one single location.
Kinda long winded, but it is possible. Do your research, visit stores that you might want to sell to, and see what they carry already. There IS a market for wholesome baked goods, find it, and you are half way there!
Ps...if you keep working out...you can eat just about anything you want (within reason of course)
Good luck!
That's not weird!Wouldn't you use bread,sometimes?Isn't bread healthy for you?idk
But of course it is a great idea! half of every body I know is either over weight or diabetic. Where I live there is only 1 good bakery that makes low fat and sugar free cakes and goodies and every time we go man! is packed! Girl this can be your niche good luck! Make sure you also have a strong advertising campaign before you open the place hit all the gyms, churches, schools,restaurants, all the public places that will allow you to advertise that you have the best selection of THE HEALTHIEST TREATS IN TOWN!! and if you are in shape be your own spoke person-model advertise anyway you can afford to; believe me it really does pay to advertise for businesses GOOD LUCK!!!
