Meal PrEP
When I tell you I am TiRED LOL…SHEESH!!!
So I want to lose weight….and I went to the farmers market and bought all these veggies and then Publix/DollarTree and got my spring water.
My problem is that I will go all day w/o eating so I decided to create my veggie delight.
Whats in my contents:
🖤The pretty green insulated jug is a TAL to the left is my daily spring water intake. 💚💙
🖤The pretty Blue Glass bottles are reused Saratoga glasses with my immunity tea in them….It is a 4 cups total of prep for a couple days. I can sip on them as a daily shot or drink as a span across 4-8 days. (It’s ground turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, lemon juice, honey, and water.)
🖤 Last the clear tupperware container consists of sautéed veggies.
•Broccoli 🥦
•Carrots 🥕
•Red Potatos 🥔
•Peas 🫛
•String Beans 🫛
•Corn🌽
•King Oyster Mushrooms 🍄🟫 (replacement for meat)
….And usually Zucchini but I for got to get them this time.
They are sautéed in grapeseed oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and Tony’s Creole seasoning.
It took me about four hours to cook that entire container because all of it could not fit in my frying pan and so I had to cook the veggies piece by piece before condensing and mixing, especially because the potatoes, broccoli, and carrots take longer to cook. 👩🏾🍳
I combined this with exercise like walking 2 miles a day and my weight goes down if I eat breakfast lunch and dinner ….
Consistency is key so do it at the same time every day and you will see a difference . And eat this meal and portions… if you get tired of this meal, then you can switch by eating one veggie and a meat/mushrooms with different choice of seasoning… I’m a habitual eater sometimes so it’s not a big deal because my body craves for veggies
Meal prep is an effective strategy for maintaining a healthy diet, especially for those who lead busy lives. By preparing meals in advance, you can ensure that you have nutritious options ready to go. Start by selecting a variety of vegetables that you enjoy. Some popular choices include broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. Incorporating lean proteins, such as chicken or plant-based options like King Oyster mushrooms, can enhance the nutritional profile of your meals. Planning your meals ahead of time not only saves you from last-minute unhealthy choices but also allows you to control portion sizes. For optimal flavor, consider using herbs and spices to season your dishes without adding excess calories. Hydration is also key to a successful meal prep routine. Alongside your meals, ensure you're drinking plenty of water or herbal teas to stay hydrated throughout the day. Try making immunity-boosting teas with ingredients like ginger, turmeric, and lemon for added health benefits. Lastly, consistency in your meal prep routine will yield the best results. Aim to prepare meals at the same time each week so it becomes a part of your schedule. With proper planning, you can enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals while staying on track with your health goals.
