Kaitie lost 3.4st using the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge
“Meal prepping has helped so much in my weight loss journey. I am a busy mum of two on a tight budget, and always having a freezer full of meals and snacks saves me from skipping meals or grabbing takeaway on nights where time is limited. It absolutely keeps me on track!”
Kaitie’s meal prep on a budget tips:
- Always have something in the slow cooker.
- Bulk up all mince dishes with lentils and grated vegetables.
- Use seasonal vegetables and shop specials.
- Make a weekly meal plan using the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge and stick to it!
Nikola lost 2.9st using the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge
“Meal prepping helps me reach my goals because I’m prepared so I won’t eat things I shouldn’t or go off track. I’m not starving myself or skipping meals as I have food prepared and ready to eat.”
Nikola’s meal prep on a budget tips:
- Utilise what you have in the pantry/fridge first. The 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge App is great for searching for a particular ingredient and finding related recipes.
- Plan so when it comes to shopping you are only buying food that you actually need and will use.
- Customise your meal plan e.g. use chicken breast instead of expensive seafood.
Clare lost 4.3st using the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge
“Meal prepping has been important in helping me reach my goals. I always have healthy snacks on hand which means I’m not reaching for junk food snacks. Meal prepping means I have no excuses to not stay on track.”
Clare’s meal prep on a budget tips:
- Customise your meal plan with the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge App and repeat meals so you don’t need to buy as many ingredients.
- Find recipes where you already have nearly all of the ingredients so you’re not buying new items all the time.
- If something is on special, stock up!
Sascha lost 4.10st using the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge
“Meal prepping has been one of the main keys to my success not only for staying on track but for staying on budget. Meal prep means there is always a back up for ‘one of those days’!”
Sascha’s meal prep on a budget tips:
- Repeat recipes, what’s for dinner is lunch the next day.
- Freeze everything that’s spare, even veggies – you’ll need it.
- When customising your 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge meal plans, pick recipes that use different methods of cooking so you can have it all going at once and be prepared quicker.
