Here are four time-saving meal hacks for delicious, nutritious, filling weight loss meals on the Code Red Lifestyle™:
- Be a repeat eater. Insisting on variety for EVERY. SINGLE. MEAL. is gonna double, even triple, not only the amount of time you spend cooking, but also the amount of time you spend in weight loss mode. Find a handful of meals that work (it can just be one if you want!) and stick with them.
- Meal prep. Make all your meals for the week, the day, or even the next couple of days, all at once. (Eating the same things will make this hack even more effective.)
- Fat + Veggie + Protein. Have a food that fits each of these categories at every meal, make sure they’re Code Red-approved, and you’re all set. It really is that simple.
- Swaps. This is one I’ve done in this week’s “What Do I Eat?” In last week’s video, I had shrimp over steamed broccoli, with mayo for my fat. This week, I swapped the veggie for something else. It’s a simple way to add a bit of variety, without going crazy making complicated recipes that slow down (even stall) your weight loss. Click the image below to see which veggie I used.
