Ashleigh on Channel 9 talking about how she meal preps for her family

Mum-of-two Ashleigh Dunkley reveals she has to be mindful of what she’s cooking, as her hubby has coeliac disease – which means he is unable to eat food with gluten in it. Gluten can be found in wheat, rye, barley and oats.

But the mum-of-two says she never has to cook two meals for her family. Here’s how Ashleigh caters for a dietary requirement in her household…

“I have been a 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge member for three years, and in that time I have never cooked two separate meals,” she says.

“I can make a heap of recipes from the Challenge hub that my hubby can eat.”

Ashleigh says that a lot of food out there contains added gluten or flour to thicken it up, so she likes to make everything from scratch.

“This is why the Challenge is brilliant, as it’s all from scratch,” she says.

Ashleigh now coverts every recipe she makes into a gluten-free one.

“I use gluten free flour in place of regular flour in all my baking, so that my husband can eat everything. If I make pizza, the flour is gluten-free. I use buckwheat in place of barley, and in place of oats, I use gluten-free Weet-Bix.”

What Ashleigh made on the TV segment:

Ashleigh began her journey in 2013 after the birth of her son. She lost 12.5kgs and then had a healthy second pregnancy with The Healthy Mummy. Following the birth of baby number two, she lost 12.5kg once more.

Ashleigh says she now has a body she is SUPER ‘proud of!’ – which is absolutely amazing!

“This body grew two beautiful babies! However, it wasn’t looked after, it wasn’t treated well, it wasn’t loved,” she admits.

“Now it is strong. Now it is healthy. Now it is a little wobbly but still awesome!
