How much time do busy women really need for workouts and meal prep to lose fat?

On The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey frames it as a small slice of your day. She describes giving about 4% of your day to a workout and about 8%, maybe two hours, to meal prep on a Sunday, and says people make it far more complicated than it is. One WarriorBabe coach puts the lifting side even more simply: you only need about 90 minutes a week, not a day. You don't need to lift heavy or train every single day to see results, and the coach calls it more effective than daily cardio.

She also suggests looking at your responsibilities to kids, family and work, then finding where your time fits. Out of 24 hours, she says you can give at least two hours to yourself once those are handled.

On Ep. 391, Nikkiey adds honest nuance. She knows you may be juggling kids, a career, aging parents or a business, and she doesn't buy the line that everyone has the same 24 hours, because nobody has the same responsibilities inside them. But if you've said you have no time for six months, she calls it a priority problem, not a time problem. Your health doesn't send urgent emails, so it keeps getting pushed to later. The fix isn't more hours. It's a plan that fits the hours you have.
