If you want to lose weight, you don't have to do it with crash diets. And hours of exercise are not always necessary either. It has been proven that even a small calorie deficit is enough to melt away the kilos. As the saying goes, "Abs are made in the kitchen", diet can be more important in losing weight than going all out in the gym.

In this post we want to show you why and how meal prep can help you lose weight.

There are no limits to creativity. Whether sweet, salty or savoury, everyone can put together their boxes/containers as they wish. This way, the diet fits the desired lifestyle for the whole week. If you are a sporty person, you can choose lots of proteins to build up your muscles, and if you want to eat more healthily, there are plenty of vegetables in the boxes. Losing weight is also possible with pre-cooking. We tell you how.

If you've already pre-cooked for every day of the week on Sunday, you have no more excuses when it comes to healthy eating. After all, why stop off at the curry sausage stall during your lunch break on a Tuesday when you've got that delicious dish in your office bag to help you achieve your goals? The statement, "I don't feel like/ have time to cook." Becomes invalid with the one-time cooking.

The advantage of home-cooking is that you know exactly what's in it. If you want to lose weight with Meal Prepping, you will probably usenatural ingredients and lots of vegetables. This way you can be sure that every meal contains only what you want to have in it. This means: no hidden fatteners. 

In itself, it can't hurt to count the calories you eat for a few weeks. However, over a longer period of time this can also lead in a dangerous direction. You will get a feeling relatively quickly whether you are above your turnover or not. After all, at some point you will know approximately how many calories are in the foods you eat every day. With Meal Prep, you can work out the calories per dish on cooking day. For the rest of the week, you don't have to think about these numbers.

Having prepared meals waiting for you in your fridge has the advantage that the size of your meal is already fixed. This way, you may not tend to eat more just because you feel like it or because it tastes good. It also prevents binge eating. Sudden cravings can still occur, but with a little willpower, and if you eat enough, they should be easy to overcome. This will bring you a little closer to your goal of losing weight.

If you cook for yourself, you also decide what goes into your food. Do you prefer rice to pasta? Then fill your containers with your favourite carbohydrates. Broccoli tastes better than corn? Then put it in! Losing weight can be really exhausting. Especially if your diet consists mainly of foods you don't really like. So instead of just chowing down on rice cakes, why not cook ahead and put together dishes that really taste good and that you won't be tempted to throw away, only to throw your plan overboard after a week?

If you're busy or don't enjoy cooking, you can also try our dishes to see if Meal Prep is for you. For weight loss, we have special boxes from which you can choose the best dishes. For those who don't find anything suitable, we have individual boxes. Here you can order 6, 12 or 18 dishes as you wish.

You can find the nutritional values on each product. So you don't have to calculate the calories of each ingredient, but have a good overview. The only thing left to do is to choose the dishes according to your taste and calorie needs. If you want to make it even easier, you can participate in our Summer Challenge 2022. You tell us a little bit about yourself and based on a few data we will create a diet plan with delicious dishes for you. Everything will be put together so that you will be in a small calorie deficit at the end of the day. Do you want more information? Then feel free to contact us by mail at [email protected].
