INTRODUCTION

Meal planning or meal preparation should not be as demanding as it seems if certain factors are considered. It is very important for you to have an easy, achievable and realistic meal prep strategy.

This strategy should be clearly written with definite meal prep goals, such as which ingredients to buy, when to go shopping weekly, a cooking time table and more.

Meal prep becomes very easy when you start measured and unhurried, planning two to three days per time; cutting back on total time spent cooking by chopping vegetables ahead of time, roasting dissimilar vegetables together, buying and storing foodstuff at home.

Family, school or work and the hectic schedules are those things we are saddled with daily. Meal prepping would save us the time spent trying to conjure up food every morning, the extra money spent on lunch, and the health risk from eating unhealthy foods and junks.

In the following chapters you will discover a complete yet easy approach to meal prepping and meal planning that guarantees rapid weight loss and a healthier life. You will find breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, snacks and beverages that would ensure that you’re eating clean and eating healthy.

The good news is, you can eat healthy, eat clean, be healthy and stay healthy without using so much of your time cooking. Prepare your meals ahead in batches, you will save money and time and you will ensure a better life!

CHAPTER ONE- MEAL PREP BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO RAPID WEIGHT LOSS

The following are tested and proven ideas that will help you on your meal prepping journey. They are the fifteen commandments of meal prepping. Follow these commandments and your kitchen, your freezer, your stomach and you body will bless you.

Guide #1 Be Strategic

First things first! Go shopping, get groceries and make sure you mark off every ingredient you have earlier written on your list.

This practice will make you avoid being stranded with insufficient foodstuff while cooking. Buying or shopping on impulse will only land you a bag full of unhealthy foods. Stick to the plan and make sure the plan is clearly written.

Guide #2 Your Meal Prepping Containers

The containers you have makes storing meal prepped food very easy - the containers ensure your food is kept fresh and healthy.

Organization is crucial, so make sure you keep your containers is simple, of the same shapes and sizes. This will help you to avoid overeating and confusion. Lastly, Get BPA-free Tupperware or glass containers to make sure your containers do not melt in the oven.

Guide #3 Unhurried And Measured

Starting slow will save you a lot as a beginner. It takes so much practice and getting accustomed to what works for you to start prepping meals for a full week. My advice to you is that you prep meals for 2-3 days at a go. This will help you discover what works and what won't! You will make fewer errors and they will be less costly. You can start with prepping only your lunch, and with time gradually increase it to lunch and dinner. After a while you will get a hang of meal prepping, then you can a prep a full week at a go.

Guide #4 Estimate The Calories

Estimating calories is not very necessary when trying to lose weight. But it is advisable if you are inclined to overeat and you don't have the slightest idea of estimating calories. Get a food scale! A food scale will help you weight portions 1-2 times weekly.

To avoid the error most dieters make by underestimating the amount of calories consumed periodically, it is important that you get a food scale that will help out on this journey to rapid weight loss.

Guide #5 Don't Be Impulsive

When you are cooking so much food, it is not the best of times to try out new recipes. It will waste so much of time and the whole meal preparation can be jeopardized. Maintain preparation of recipes that you have a sure handle on; and to be candid, you don’t need so much assortment of food to be healthy.

Guide #6 The Make-Ahead

One of the goals of meal prepping is to save time and one way to achieve that is by preparing make-ahead ingredients beforehand. Chop your fruits, dice your veggies, and soak ingredients that need to be soaked. Store chopped veggies and fruits in airtight containers and refrigerate until they are needed.

Guide #7 The Secret To Each Week's Meal Prepping

Start with meal prep recipes that are intricate when you are meal prepping at the start of every new week. This is a realistic order to be followed that will be a big game changer during each week's meal preparation. Make sure you prepare the difficult recipes first on Sunday, for instance. And prepare much simpler recipes by Wednesday. The week promises to be very busy, so making difficult recipes mid-week doesn't seem too wise.

Guide #8 Handy & Healthy Meal Prep Snacks

When you are on a diet, you will often be tempted to eat unhealthy snacks and junks. Most people stock up snacks that are risky to their health in their houses and are encouraged to binge eat. Make it a priority to stock only healthy foods like veggies, nuts, fruits, eggs and more.

Guide #9 Healthy Meal Prep Condiment Shopping

Meal prepping for rapid weight loss doesn't mean you are supposed to eat bland and unexciting foods. It is possible for you to eat healthy, eat clean and still add clean spices. Shop for condiments, herbs and spices that are healthy like lemon, olive oil, fresh ginger and more. Your food will taste magical.

Guide #10 The Lunch Salad Miracle

Your salad doesn't have to be mushy. Place it in a glass jar, and you can be assured that the vegetables will stay fresh for a long time. Yipee! Now you can carry your salad to work; just make sure you add the salad dressing to the bottom of the glass jar and then transfer the veggies into the glass jar in layers. Put a paper towel over the glass jar's top to soak up moisture. Cover and refrigerate.

Guide #11 Different Vegetables One Pan...Meal Prepping

The cooking time of veggies vary from one veggie to another, but luckily for you, there are some veggies that share the same cook-time. Roast these vegetables together to save time. Veggies that can be cooked together consist of: onions, carrots, parsnips, cauliflower and potatoes. Some other veggies cook faster and can be roasted or cooked together, like: asparagus, tomatoes and mushrooms.

Guide #12 Meal Prepping & Your Refrigerator

Any food can be refrigerated, but some of these foods become mushy over a short period of time. When prepping your meals for more than a few days, prep meals that can be refrigerated and reheated without difficulty. For a healthy meal, stews, turkey meatballs, chicken and soups are great food options when meal prepping. You will have to reheat them for few minutes and you can dig in!
