From Food Struggles to My First Cookbook

Thisfitmum feature Essex Life Fit Food Meal Prep High Protein — Essex Life Feature - Fit Food

When I look back at some of the hardest chapters of my life, food was often at the centre of the problem. I was often not eating enough and lacking energy, I didn’t have the time to make proper meals, I was running on snacks, sugar and caffeine, or I was stuck in that endless cycle of dieting and starting over.

Add to that my own struggles with PCOS, hypothyroidism and PMDD, and food felt more like an enemy than a friend. I often found myself trying to manage cravings and never really feeling in control.

The turning point came when I realised that what I ate wasn’t just about calories or losing weight. It was about nourishing my body. It was about supporting my hormones, giving me energy to keep up with my kids and fuel my workouts, and helping me feel good in my own body again. Food became my medicine, my fuel, and the thing that gave me back a sense of control when life felt completely overwhelming.

That’s why creating Fit Mum Meal Preps is such a huge moment for me. It’s not just a cookbook, it’s years of trial and error turned into something that can actually help other mums who feel stuck in that same cycle.

It’s a selection of meals that I know the whole family will enjoy. It’s for the women who are tired, busy, and fed up of wasting money on food that either goes off in the fridge or leaves them hungry an hour later.

Fit Mum Cookk Book Meal Prep High Protein Cooking Meals

Every recipe in this book is designed to be simple, tasty, high in protein, and realistic for real life. No spending hours in the kitchen, no 10-ingredient shopping lists you’ll never use again. Just food that works for your goals, supports your hormones, and still tastes like something your whole family will enjoy.

To go from battling my own health issues to now holding my very own published cookbook in my hands feels surreal. I’m proud, but more than that I’m grateful, because I know that the same changes that helped me can help so many others too.

If you’ve ever felt like healthy eating is too hard, too expensive, or too overwhelming, I promise this book was made for you.
