Maria’s amazing meal prep

You don’t have to clear a day to do meal prep, if you just don’t have the time. Maria was able to prep on and off over a weekend.

“I extended my prep over the weekend  as it was the only way I could fit it in,” she says. “So I took my time and done some each day. Most of them didn’t take long especially the snacks.”

Maria’s tips for meal prepping

Have you any tips for saving time?

I always prep chop, grate, and dice my vegetables when doing a prep add them to zip lock bags for when needed.

Cutting carrots and adding in water in a container in the fridge saves time and money as they can last up to a month.

Maria’s weight loss story

Maria, 30, is based in Hertfordshire and has lost 3 stone following the Challenge.

“I no longer suffer from night sweats and have slightly less daily pain as I have less weight to carry around,” she says.

“Mentally, I have learnt to love myself not judge myself or hate how I look but keep working at the changes. I also noticed how much more variety I eat in foods and not restricting myself, learnt to balance my food healthily.”
