Kaitie lost 3.4st using the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge
โMeal 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!โ
Kaitieโs 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 Challengeย and stick to it!
Nikola lost 2.9st using the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge
โMeal prepping helps me reach my goals because Iโm prepared so I wonโt eat things I shouldnโt or go off track. Iโm not starving myself or skipping meals as I have food prepared and ready to eat.โ
Nikolaโs meal prep on a budget tips:
- Utilise what you have in the pantry/fridge first. The 28 Day Weight Loss Challengeย 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
โMeal prepping has been important in helping me reach my goals. I always have healthy snacks on hand which means Iโm not reaching for junk food snacks. Meal prepping means I have no excuses to not stay on track.โ
Clareโs meal prep on a budget tips:
- Customise your meal plan with the 28 Day Weight Loss Challengeย App and repeat meals so you donโt need to buy as many ingredients.
- Find recipes where you already have nearly all of the ingredients so youโre not buying new items all the time.
- If something is on special, stock up!
