38 meals and snacks for $60 – that works out at around $1.57 per serve!
Before Natasha joined the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge reveals she NEVER meal prepped and wasn’t a big cook.
“Meal planning has been a lifesaver since joining the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge. I know exactly what we having for dinner each day. Some Sundays I will do some pre prep for our dinners for the week which also helps me spend less time cooking in the kitchen in the evening,” she says.
“Before joining the Challenge I wasn’t much of a cook. We would just have stews most night. Now I’m more adventurous with my cooking and surprise my family with all these different meals I would never have attempted before and my family loves it.

Natasha’s 5 top tips for selecting and making food from the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge
1. Select the food you like
I choose the items I want to make and make in batch and if there’s something I don’t like on the meal plan I swap it out in favour of something else I like.
2. Choose items that have similar ingredients
I opt for items that have similar ingredients, this makes it cheaper for me to buy as I’m not doubling up on ingredients.
3. Prepare your snacks for the week ahead of time
This makes it easier to have healthy snacks on hand in the freezer.
4. Bake double batches
Double your recipes and make extra so you can store in the freezer. It comes in handy for grab and go snacks when you time poor.
5. Customise your meal plan to repeat snacks
That way you spend less time in the kitchen by making big batches.
Natasha’s INCREDIBLE 30kg weight loss story
“The Healthy Mummy has taught me that anything is possible,” says Natasha.
This gorgeous mum is beyond thrilled with her body transformation!
“I’m loving my transformation! I have gained so much more self love and confidence dropping from a size 20/22 to a size 12/14. I can just walk into a store now and say ‘I love this dress’ and grab a size 14 and not be overwhelmed as to whether it will suit or fit me.”says Natasha.
We asked Natasha what her advice would be to other mums who are thinking of making a change?
“Take one day at a time and keep moving. Everyday gets you one step closer to your goal.”
Way to go Natasha! Your transformation is INCREDIBLE! You ought to be so PROUD!!!
