I really will re-create anything These are the first 7 recipes from e-book number two. And it’s safe to say Im super exited. So 7 recipes down for e-book number 2 today. Time too get to work on all the wording, and writing the methods and how to do you can to recreate this absolute beast of a meal prep. I literally will meal prep anything from chocolate doughnuts , to chocolate fudge cake for breakfast. With 15 stone weight loss behind us. And a lot of experience I aim to prove and show as many people as I can you don’t have to eat bland food, drink shakes or use diet fads to lose weight. This new e-book and food inside it is going to turn the conventional mind set around what you have to eat to lose weight on its head. I hope the next 14 recipes go as well as today’s 7 . The first 7 recipes from e-book no2 are 1. Big Mac 2. Pesto pasta and sun dried tomatoes 3. Jacket potato with chilli sour cream and chives with home made slaw 4. Peri peri lime chicken 5. Red lentil and carrot soup 6. Chinese style pork belly 7. Blueberry and banana breakfast muffins. Another 14 recipes to go. If you thought book 1 was good. I’m putting three weeks into this. And it’s been designed with every one who follows me in mind. I’m going to work really hard on this. It took me and Charlotte a full day to agree on the 21 meal preps. And now it’s in action. What meal prep from book two are you most exited about?
Every Sunday, John spends six hours carefully preparing the couple’s meals for the week. There is no specific diet plan, such as keto, Mediterranean, vegan, or paleo. The meals can consist of anything from burgers to tacos to pasta to chocolate donuts. The only rule is that every meal — breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack — must be 400 calories or less.

Free e-book link in bio So E-Book number 2. Good evening every one. So at the request of literally hundreds and hundreds of people I am getting to work on e-book number two. Over 3000 people have currently downloaded the e book to make this Meal prep which went past my predictions by a long way. And then to see so many of you making it is great. Well done every one. Book two is going to be even better, with some sweet treats, vegetarian options, and some tips and tricks that will save people a huge amount of time. Because book number one has had such positive feedback, I’m going to work even harder on the second, and structure it in such a way that it will give you a plan. With A proper planner. I’m not going to give too much away just yet, but this will rival some other food plans and will help people so much. I will work hard. I will also get 100 hard copies printed up to give away as gifts I think too. However after the 100 have gone it will be e-book. I’m going to structure this book even better , and be more specific in its instructions. To help every one who needs it. Rest assure that in the background I m working on It, and I want this to be my full time job. With the e-book that’s currently available , the link is in the bio. Please feel free to download it for free, or adjust the £0.00 to what ever amount you wish and you will be redirected to make a contribution which all ads up and goes towards my next book. However this is optional. And thank you to all those who have already contributed. I now have a desktop. So many thanks to every one I’ll be getting a website done also for the future. As to have that book hosted at the link which it’s available to download from actually costs me money. $60 per 1000 downloads. Which I don’t mind but I can’t leave it there forever. My own website to do things from will be much better. So if you haven’t yet go and get a copy. And I look forward to releasing book number two which will be a bit of a surprise.
The results of the extreme food prep have been extraordinary for the British couple. John, who is a truck driver from Greater Manchester, England, has lost more than 112 pounds and Charlotte lost 88 pounds.

Start a new lifestyle on a Wednesday............. Six stone weight loss that took 10 months eating everything from burgers to spinach, kale to pizza. The power of controlling your calories moderately that’s all you need. That’s it. No special drinks, potions, teas of coffee. Having been nearly 22 stone my self I know a thing or two about being desperate and willing to try anything. Even if we know deep down it’s probably a con or a scam. Well my page started because of people selling a dream of weight loss , only if you buy this tea. This shake. You cut out carbs, you only drink water, oh and my favourite no carbs after 8pm. Me and Charlotte are living proof that’s absolute ....... you only have to look at my page to see the food we eat. In fact I’m having a chocolate protein doughnut for breakfast now and a cup of tea. It’s 16 weeks until Christmas. I see so many people start in January. And then half way through the year give up, and Think I’ll start next year. I was a victim of that and so was Charlotte. If you start today you could lose between 2-3 stone before Christmas. Imagine sitting there having your Christmas party or lunch knowing you achieved that half way through a year. Ready to take on next year full steam ahead. The best time to start any new lifestyle change for me is a Wednesday . No word of a lie. The mind set of January the 1st. The “I’ll start Monday” seems to feel like setting your self up to fail. Well that’s how it always felt for me. I don’t know how many Monday mornings I started a new lifestyle. I lost count. I love the idea of breaking habits and starting on a Wednesday is a brilliant way to break a habit. For me personally it was anyway. This year isn’t over. You still have time to smash your goals this year. And start 2020 with a whole new mind set. Smaller jeans . And confidence to go with it. Oh and one more thing.... it’s Wednesday today. What better day to start achieving what ever it is you want.

Good morning Facebook, and Instagram . Don’t worry if you have gone off track a little this weekend. Don’t worry if you drank a bit too much, it’s not the end of the world. We are all only human. I’ve maintained 18 years and Charlotte for two years this year. And it wouldn’t of been possible if we didn’t enjoy our selves from time to time. We haven’t done this weekend with food or drink, we have been too busy. But for those that have. Don’t feel guilty. It’s all part of the process. Do you think we could of lost 15 stone and stuck to our calories, and preferred food choices if we didn’t have times were we eat and drink a little. Remember this is a long term process. That’s why so many people re gain-weight. They think a diet has an end. we all have to eat. Every single one of us. And consuming more than we need now and again is part of that process. It’s a life time thing. I too used to feel guilty. Many many years ago. So if this is you. It’s Tuesday. Get some water in, some steps in, regain composure. New goals , new targets. Christmas 2019 maybe. Mines my 30 th .... I mean 40th . Set your self a little new goal today. And leave the weekend behind. You got this xxxx

What a difference six stone weight loss makes. Not only in some ones psychical appearance , but also their confidence. I love having a nosey at the selfies Charlotte takes now days. And it’s lovely to see her wearing clothes she’d never of had the confidence to do previously. It took Charlotte only 10 months to lose six stone and keep it off. Eating everything from pizza to kale , spinach to pizza. We have literally meal prepped our way back to health. Eating what ever we want when we want. No fasting, no cutting carbs, no restrictions what so ever. Having lost 9 stone my self in 2003 , I knew I could help tweak Charlottes diet and help her achieve the same results as my self. Purely by supporting her. She even joked about how much she actually eats now compared to what she did previously . She actually eats more currently than ever before. Me and Charlotte have been thinking lately , about how we can help more men and women achieve results like this , and we are determined to create something that reflects the 15 stone (210lbs) we have lost combined , that any one else can also achieve. All we do is meal prep, count calories , and be creative . There are so many tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years to stay full, save money, get a vast amount of nutrients your body needs and never crave. One key thing I’ve learned is that we’re one is different. It’s knowing your eating habits , your triggers and preparing for those what will help you maintain the all important calorie deficit. We have people following us from all over the world which is amazing , that are losing weight just by following our stories , and taking some inspiration from the meal preps we make weekly. I’m amazed at some of the results people have achieved just by scrolling through our posts. I hope every ones having a great weekend. And remember what every journey you are on. Stick with it . I promise you results are achievable

The meal prep not only helps them lose weight but also gives the couple more free time during the week because all of their meals are already cooked. “We get so much more done during the week not having to think too much about food,” John said on Instagram. “As it’s already done. The productivity this creates during the week for us is priceless. I manage to get so much more done in the week, it’s well worth the hours we give up on a Sunday.”

Every single meal shown is 400 calories or under. I’m so glad to see every one meal prepping this week , taking inspiration from my new free e-book. I had so many messages. I’m sorry if there was a delay getting back to any one, I was meal prepping my self. We had a very productive weekend. Cleared the spare room to make room to be an office. Cleaned the whole kitchen top to bottom, and meal prepped an entire weeks meals. I love productive weekends, then waking up Monday morning knowing we have all our meals organised, ready for the week. We get so much more done during the week not having to think too much about food. As it’s already done. The productivity this creates during the week for us is priceless. I manage to get so much more done in the week , it’s well worth the hours we give up on a Sunday. We’ve made this week Double chocolate doughnuts for breakfast. Sticky garlic and honey chicken with soy noodles. Beef stir fry and black-bean sauce Three bean meatless Chili con carne Chicken fajita bowls Meatballs and pasta Tuna salad sandwiches. With my first e-book being such a success with nearly 3000 people downloading it so far. What would you like to see in e-book number two. All suggestions welcome. And a big thank you to all those who have Downloaded the e-book. And for all those that have and continue to make donations via the link in my bio. Every penny is going towards office things so I can do more e-books. I now have a desktop thank you to to donations no matter how big or small. Let me know below what you would like to see in book number two.
The other incredible aspect of this couple’s extreme food preparation system is that since they are preparing their own meals, they’re saving a lot of money. The couple, who are behind the Instagram account @themealprepking, say they only spend a total of $165 a month on groceries. That’s three meals a day, plus snacks. Pretty incredible.

What does a £35 meal prep for 2 people look like? That’s £17.50 each to eat like this. I get a lot of messages asking how we have lost 210lbs ( 15st ) eating how we do. The answer is always the same. Meal prep helps us know exactly where we are with calories. That’s the beauty of it. You’re in control. And with this kind of food available every day , you don’t waste money on silly junk in shops which costs a fortune. This week we have .... 1.Salmon fish cakes sweet chilli dip 2.Garlic honey chicken and noodles 3.loaded dirty fries 4.cream of broccoli soup 5.spicy beef enchiladas 6.chorizo & chickpea stew 7.birthday cake protein bars That’s it now no more cooking until Friday evening. Every single meal is under 500 calories and we know exactly what is in every single box. We have spent between £30-£35 on this whole prep. And that’s for two of us.

John prepares signature dishes such as veggie kebabs, chicken pizza, Italian sausage and chickpea casserole, buffalo chicken-stuffed sweet potato skins with cheese, double-chocolate protein donuts, and even a healthier version of the Big Mac.

Almost every single Mel prep I make is 400 calories. Every single meal prep shown here is 400 calories. You can pretty much alter any meal you want to make it fit into 400 calories. From pizza to kebabs , cheese burgers to a Chinese. It’s just. Case if swapping things around, finding alternatives, and experimenting. So why 400 calories ? If I make every meal 400 calories , it really doesn’t matter what Meal you have . And when. You always know it’s 400 calories. I’ve been tailoring meals to our requirements for years and I find 400 works well, with sufficient protein, carbohydrates, and fats. And let’s not forget a huge array of colours for those important micronutrients. I meal prep everything from pizza, to chocolate fudge cake. Salmon to kale. And with a combined weight loss for me and Charlotte of over 15 stone, I’ve proved it works. With a little dedication, using common sense with some food choices, making alternatives to help you stay full for longer it’s a no brained for us. As every ones calorie requirements are different, some people want to lose weight, some wish to maintain weight, some people wish to gain weight. With our main meals out the way for the week, we can add calories each day accordingly. Depending on goal, activities , and energy expenditure for that particular day. Today I’ve made. Turmeric chicken , white rice, yellow corvette , me tender-stem broccoli. Tricoloured pasta, feta cheese, vine tomatoes and spinach Gluten free pasta ( just to try) spiced chicken and green beans Cajun spiced turkey mince, black beans, Edamame beans, and red peppers Pan fried steak, garlic and soy sauce whole grain noodles, and pak Choi Spinach pasta , with tuna and salad. It’s great to see so many people trying out my meal prep ideas. I love seeing people commit to following what I do. Well done to the many people who use my ideas to eat better and gain results. That’s what it’s all bout. Have a Great week people. (The meal prep king)

129 calorie double chocolate protein doughnuts. Who wants me to post a shopping list and recipe for these bad boys. We have made these quite a few times in the past. And we are making these today for snacks on the week. Who doesn’t want a double chocolate doughnut every day of the week . And for 129 calories . Who wants to make these ?

Who else do you know who meal preps their own huge fake away Big Macs under 480 calories each. With a sauce that is so uncanny it’s untrue. You could eat one of these every single day and still lose weight. That’s the beauty. I have a slight feeling when my new e-book is released im going to be seeing a lot more of these lol. I will let you into a little secret though. There is no easy way of putting these into a prep box. You have two choices. Smash the thing down or deconstruct. The the thing is if done Right these reheat fantastic. Due to the pictures and recipes I’ve done this week for the new book I’ve had three. It’s not very often I eat a burger every day but I must say I’ve enjoyed these. If you do this right it will be a family favourite for many meal preps to come I’m not a massive take away. Tag some one who is addicted to McDonald’s
John changes the menu every week to keep it exciting.
Proud of their colorful cooking, the couple shares their meal preps online, where they have thousands of followers.
“We make absolutely everything from scratch and we eat whatever we want,” said Clark. “It’s not a diet. I love what I eat and enjoy every mouthful.”
“The way we eat is amazing,” Deniz said. “It’s a way of life that I couldn’t live without now.”
