Roberta Tabb was featured in PEOPLEs 2005 Half Their Size issue after dropping 120 lbs., and shes been able to maintain her weight loss thanks to her dedication to meal planning and prepping.
Ive been half my size for over 10 years, she tells People Nowin an update video. Through hard work and dedication, I lost over 130 lbs. by cutting out fast foods, sugars, baked goods and soda. These days I meal prep. I create recipes that are usually less than five ingredients, and I infuse water.
To make meal prep easier, Tabb who is featured in PEOPLEs Collectors EditionHalf Their Size: The Ultimate Get-Fit Guide recommends investing in a few sturdy mason jars.
Theyre good for freezing things, and theyre great for your infused water, she says.
The Doctorshost Dr. Travis Stork agrees that meal prep is an essential part of a successful weight loss plan.
If you fail to plan, youre planning to fail, Stork tells People Now. If youre busy, plan out the week ahead. You can shop on the weekend, and whats great is so many healthy foods, you can go ahead and pre-prep them, and either put them in the fridge or freezer. By planning out youre going to be successful, because when youre crunched on time and you dont have a healthy option available because you havent planned, youre going to make the wrong choice.
