Living a healthy life

Jessica May McGill understands the benefits of The Healthy Mummy program. Having joined The Healthy Mummy 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges shortly after having her second baby she was able to lose 20kg and completely transform her lifestyle.

She says “I joined The Healthy Mummy three years ago when my second bub was born. I lost 20kgs in six months using The Healthy Mummy 28 Day Challenge and Healthy Mummy Smoothies and maintained that weight loss until I fell pregnant with baby number three.”

“After a Healthy Mummy pregnancy, I lost 17kgs in eight months before falling pregnant with baby number four and have been enjoying another Healthy Mummy pregnancy.”

Meal prep and pregnancy – preparing for sleep deprived nights

We are in awe of Jessica’s commitment to living a Healthy Mummy lifestyle and are AMAZED by all the delicious meals she has prepared.

She understands all too well that when are you in the fog of exhaustion and sleep deprivation with a new baby, it is all too easy to slip into bad habits of takeaway and junk food.

Determined to maintain her Healthy Mummy lifestyle before and after the baby arrives she has meal prepped a huge amount of healthy and nutritious meals and snacks for her family.

Jessica says “I am almost 37 weeks with my fourth bubba and my eldest is only 4, so life is about to get (even more) crazy!

I spent today in the kitchen and while I no longer have ankles, I now have two full freezers ready for when bub arrives!”

“Everything I made was vegan (except for kids scrolls) and lots are nut free for preschool lunch boxes, showing you can eat yummy food with allergies or food preferences thanks to the amazing Healthy Mummy 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge recipe hub and filters.

All up I made 152 serves of dinner/lunch and 228 snacks!

I know I will be starving while breastfeeding and my kids are massive snackers, so now I can relax and know we all have healthy options sorted”.

Healthy eating during and after pregnancy

While Jessica does not restrict her calories while pregnant she has taken advantage of being a Healthy Mummy Challenge member by simply following recipes in the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge hub and eating the recommended calories per day to maintain a healthy pregnancy.

“This body’s grown three healthy huge bubbas in less than four years, so how could I not love it?! Thanks to The Healthy Mummy I’m healthier and happier than ever,” says Jessica.

“I’ll never go back! I love The Healthy Mummy! It’s so family friendly, I’m never hungry and I’m never bored.”

The Healthy Mummy would like to congratulate Jessica for this epic meal prep while pregnant.  We are thrilled that she will be able to put her feet up and enjoy those blissful, early days with her baby without having to even think about cooking.
