If you live in the Flower Mound, Texas area, I'd very much appreciate it if you could complete our Healthy Dining Preferences Survey! We need about 300 more surveys to reach statistical significance.

https://form.jotform.com/250584039382157

It only takes ~5 minutes to complete, and will provide us with invaluable insight. It is anonymous, but if you fill it out (and include your email address), you will be entered in a drawing to receive a free meal when WHOLi KaBOWLi! opens!

In addition, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this, not only on social media but also anywhere else of which you can think.

Here is a QR code that you may post wherever you think would be appropriate:

You heard it here first! We are beyond thrilled, as you might imagine (after 10 years of working on it), to report that we have found a new breakfast-and-lunch-only restaurant in Flower Mound to start selling WHOLi KaBOWLi! food! If all goes as planned, we'll use their kitchen on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and take orders in advance to pick up the next day (Tuesdays and Thursdays), during their regular hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. We'll start with an abbreviated menu, probably just 8 items, including a couple of soups and salads, a Fruit KaBOWLi!, our signature (remember, whole plant-based) "Nacho Queso™," and our "WHOLi CHILi!™" We will add items as able, trying to prove the concept and build capital, with the end goal of opening up a restaurant, hopefully sooner than later! Our goal is to launch in less than a month. Stay tuned!

And one day, if approved, we'll have a drive-thru pickup window...

Some potentially exciting things are happening, which might allow us to finally get WHOLi KaBOWLi! off the ground! One week from today I will be meeting with the Town of Flower Mound to see if I can get our building rezoned to allow me to build a WHOLi KaBOWLi! Kitchen in our back room! Praying for success!

In case you hadn't been following it, sadly our WHOLi KaBOWLi! Kickstarter campaign fell far short of the goal. We sincerely appreciate those who pledged, but of course since it didn't fund, no money changed hands. However, we will press forward undaunted, as we know WHOLi KaBOWLi! is destined to do great good. We have established a funding page (see https://wholikabowli.com/funding), which outlines various opportunities available to help reach our goal. Please share with anyone who may be interested in contributing.

Send Venmo payment and preference to . New items will be added as they become available! Portion of purchase that goes towards our funding goal will not include cost of overhead. Any orders that cannot be fulfilled (for whatever reason) will be fully refunded.

Tip of the Week: In a recent post I talked about "plant waste," and another important term I'd like to introduce, which sounds a little less attractive, is "animal secretions," i.e,. products made from things secreted by an animal - the main one being dairy but also eggs. There is a lot of controversy surrounding whether or not dairy & eggs are healthy, and I am of the strong opinion that they should only be consumed in small amounts, and that the nutrients they may provide can be obtained in other, much healthier ways. They (especially butter and cheese) are also responsible for many hidden calories and inflammation. That is why WHOLi KaBOWLi! will be devoid of both. See www.wholikabowli.com for more information!

Imagine the many ways your life would change if you could eat at a delicious restaurant where your weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and average glucose level drop or normalize the more you eat there! WHOLi KaBOWLi! was conceived by Douglas M. Cluff, M.D. (see below) in order to fill the great ne...

WHOLi KaBOWLi! Kickstarter Update: We have 26 days to go, and have 21 backers, averaging about $209 per pledge - which is amazing, but of course if you do your math, we still have a long way to go. Hopefully the article in the Cross Timbers Gazette that is coming out this week will reach a large enough audience to make a difference (see link below for a sneak peak)! A heartfelt thanks to everyone who has pledged and/or tried to spread the word!

WHOLi KaBOWLi! tip of the week:

Plant waste is the term I use to categorize any product that comes from a plant but not only has no nutritional value, but is actually harmful (inflammatory) - the most prominent of which is sugar, but also includes white flour and oil (yes, all types of oil) - see https://www.tlcfamilyhealth.com/nutrition-revolution for more information.

The entire WHOLi KaBOWLi! menu will be devoid of unhealthy plant waste. We sweeten our meals with whole fruits like Medjool dates and ripe bananas, and use pureed vegetables and nuts to make things creamier!

Please help make WHOLi KaBOWLi! a reality by sharing our Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wholikabowli/wholi-kabowli-food-truck-or-restaurant

TIA!

Kickstarter campaign update: We've now had 18 backers, averaging an awesome $183 per pledge, all for which I'm SOOO grateful. However, we need to pick up the pace so please continue to share with as many people as possible!

You may need to explain, when you share, that Kickstarter is very different from crowdfunding platforms that just process transactions immediately, with nothing in return (like GoFundMe). Instead, with Kickstarter, you choose a "reward" that you feel is worth your "pledge." AND, your card is not charged unless/until we reach our funding goal!

See https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wholikabowli/wholi-kabowli-food-truck-or-restaurant for more information, and again, THANK YOU! Onward and upward!

Kickstarter update! We have had 13 people pledge, but four of them were phishers with marketing ploys, and when I declined their offer they recanted their pledge (pretty sad). So we have 9 "true" pledges left, averaging a little over $200 each. THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL OF YOU!

We still have a notification appearing at the first of June in the Cross Timbers Gazette (already online at https://www.crosstimbersgazette.com/2023/05/22/flower-mound-doctor-launches-kickstarter-for-healthy-food-truck - thanks, Max Miller!), and hopefully other publications will publish our press release.

Many other emails are going out, and many are sharing. Thanks to all those who have shared and plan on sharing! See https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wholikabowli/wholi-kabowli-food-truck-or-restaurant to learn more!

A local physician and his team has launched a Kickstarter campaign to create a food truck or restaurant serving healthy food that tastes good and is good for you. Dr. Doug Cluff, who has his own practice in Flower Mound, came up with the idea for WHOLi KaBOWLi about nine years ago to create a […]
