WEIGHT LOSS MEAL PREP FOR WOMEN (1 WEEK IN 1 HOUR)

I first watched this video in April 2018 and it inspired me to lose weight. Now it’s February 2019 and I’ve lost 40 pounds! Thank you Liezl ☺️

Guys, serious food prep hack that I figured out. If you're making a salad as part of your food do as follows: #1 Use whatever green you want (spinach, kale, baby greens, romaine lettuce, etc.) #2 Dont add anything "wet" to it. So, if you're going to add tomatoes use cherry tomatoes and leave them whole. You can add COLD chicken, egg, whatever meat you want.. But it HAS to be pre-chilled. #3 Following the "Dont add anything wet" keep your dressing in a small container inside the salad, but do not pour it over the salad. The goal is to keep the lettuce as dry as dry as possible. #4 Finally, and most importantly, lay a paper towel or napkin over the top of your salad before sealing the lid. This will absorb any excess moisture in the contained and will stop the lettuce/greens from becoming soggy. If you follow these steps your salad will be JUST as crunchy and delicious on the final day as it was on the 1st day.

Excellent video. I lost 15 pounds just by watching the video.

Best meal prep video I’ve ever seen

The number of people arguing under this video is upsetting. One says she should have written the shopping list, one moans that it's too much work, one argues that it's not specific for their own diet or they don't like a certain food. Like, people, she's giving a hint and the possible substitute to it, grab it and plan your own meal around it without being lazy, it's not like she can come to each of you and make the job for you! On a happier note, a lot of people also gave nice suggestions and tips to help out and I wish I could thank them all, they make internet and real world still a nice place! Also, meat can be stored in the fridge for 2/3 days, the rest can be easily frozen, nothing bad will happen to it, if you cook and freeze it properly. Salad you can't really freeze, but you can keep it separate and add it to your meal when time to eat comes, it will only take 30 seconds.

When you want to follow the diet plan but your broke ✋🏻😂

Spends half an hour watching someone prep food in under an hour

I lost 20 pounds doing this and something else I'm so happy ^^

i thought i would just watch this quickly, with just skipping through, so i could see the different meals, and not so much the process, but i accidentaly watched the whole thing, and now i really wanna try it!

Lol i wish i had enough fridge space for the ingredients alone 😂

Oh this video is EXACTLY what I needed. I was looking for a female YouTuber who didn't annoy me (lol ..a lot of them do for different reasons). Someone who's thorough, simple, organised, with visually appealing videos, and who's friendly and positive. 😊 That's you! 💚

I just meal prepped all of these, thank you! My grocery bill was $55.00 for all of the ingredients that I needed for this. I could easily spend that eating out just for lunch at work every day, which has been a bad habit of mine lately. I'm so glad all of my meals/snacks are prepped! My only suggestion, is to tell us how much lemon juice to use for the salad. I had to guess and taste test. Also, it took me way over an hour, it actually took me 4 hours (plus 1 hour hunting for all the ingredients at the store), because I only have 1 cutting board, and I cut all my own veggies, since uncut was cheaper, and I kept having to go to the video. However, next time I will probably do it in half the time, because since I've already done it, I will probably know what I need and what to do without having to go to the video. It was still soooo worth it, and I'm very excited that I won't have to cook for the rest of the week! 😁😁

This is by far the most professional video I have ever seen on YouTube! Thanks so much!

For me personally, I meal prep twice a week instead, usually on Sundays and Wednesdays; Saturdays being my big grocery haul days for the week. Seven days is a stretch for food freshness and safety to be honest, but I appreciate the concepts that you're introducing!

I'm literally watching this after eating a whole large pizza from dominoes... 😂

Nobody: Liezl: now add Italian seasoning

This is extremely helpful especially for college students 💗💗

I’ve just watched the whole video and wrote out my step by step how to make everything and my shopping list, here’s to a healthier 2020!! Thanks liezl for taking the time to make this video.

I just came back to say THANK YOU for this. I’m a bariatric patient who had some weight gain 3 years after surgery & was struggling. I took your plan to my nutritionist and after a few small tweaks (only a few fruits were changed), she agreed that this plan is a wonderful choice not only nutritionally, but for sustainable weight loss/lifestyle. I started your plan a week ago & have already lost 3 pounds, feel MUCH better (used to have to take a nap daily, but am feeling much more energetic now), & I just feel so good about myself in general - YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 💕💕💕
