I’m a pilot who lost 80 lbs while flying around the world – I meal prep food to eat in hotels & never drink my calories
A WOMAN has revealed her jaw dropping transformation after shedding over 80 pounds.
The busy pilot said that her impressive weight loss was achievable without dedicating hours to an intensive workout regimen.
Lily Roberts (@lilyroberts60) regularly posts on TikTok the meals she prepares to stay on track with healthy eating during her four-day work trips.
She has continuously lost weight over the past three-and-a-half years by being careful with the macronutrients she eats daily – proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Alcohol, soft drinks and fruit juice are all off limits as Lily also avoids drinking her calories.
“Nutrition is a much bigger component to weight loss than exercise. If you can learn to eat right, you’ll lose weight even if you’re not super active,” she told 7Life.
Lily places the foods she plans to eat for the entire week in ziplock bags which have been labelled by day and mealtime.
She often starts the day with muffin-sized ‘egg bites’ filled with diced capsicum, onion, sliced potatoes, spinach and cheese.
Alternatively, Lily enjoys cereal and apples for breakfast.
“I got to have a little variety,” she said. “It makes it easier to stick to the plan.”
Lily said she makes a large pot of beef and barley soup for lunch, which is followed by a hearty dinner of turkey tacos or pasta heated up in her hotel room.
The busy pilot, who eats around 1885 calories per day, believes home cooked food is better for health than restaurant dishes.
“I used to use time as an excuse to eat things that are bad for me but today I make time for my nutrition. I schedule my meals into my day,” Lily said.
