She’s built a $32 million fitness empire from scratch and is now a proud mother of one, a daughter named Mia.
But Emily Skye isn’t pretending losing post-baby weight is an easy process, detailing every gruelling workout and meal she’s prepared to help her get back on track.
While she trains five to six times a week using her fitness guides, it’s what she’s putting in her mouth three times a day that has helped her lose 16 kilos in three months.

For breakfast she’ll start with an egg, spinach and haloumi wrap to wake up her body.
‘I usually aim to include protein at breakfast, like eggs and dairy, which also have a range of important minerals. A savoury breakfast means I can throw in some vegetables, plus wholegrain carbs for slow-release energy,’ she told NW magazine.
She follows that up with a nutritious serving of kale, sweet potato and avocado salad with tuna for lunch.

Oftentimes she’s able to pre-prepare her lunch so she’s not scrambling for food at the last moment, while trying to juggle Mia’s needs at the same time

‘A salad or noodle bowl is a quick lunch option. I try to include fish a few times a week for lean protein and important omega-3 fats. I add some pumpkin and sesame seeds for extra mineral, protein and healthy fats,’ she added.
Snacks – which Emily doesn’t avoid – come in the form of a smoothie or berry yoghurt with an apple. If she’s looking to increase her mineral intake for the day she’ll also include a low GI treat like nut butter.

For dinner it’s a beef, lime and coriander fajita bowl to satiate her hunger until the follow day – or until midnight when she sometimes fits in a workout.
‘A red meat meal is a great way to increase iron intake. You don’t need a huge serve of of meat, so my fajita bowl is the perfect way to get some protein, plus plenty of vegetables and high-nutrient quinoa,’ she said.

BEFORE: ‘When I’m happy Mia seems happier too. I’m so excited to be back into lifting heavy weights – time to build some muscle back,’ she said
‘Some people might think my progress is due to my genetics or because of breastfeeding but I can tell you it’s got a LOT to do with hard work and consistency,’ Emily wrote on Instagram.
‘All those midnight workouts I did after Mia fell asleep and eating healthy meals from my FIT Program are getting me great results,’ she added.
‘I knew it wasn’t going to be easy and I’d have to work for it so that’s what I’m doing. I’m very proud of what I’ve done so far! I’m getting stronger and leaner every day and I’m in a good mood most of the time hehe (bonus)!
