Lite n Easy, anyone tried it?

[PumpkinZulu]

Yeah I spoke to a lady about BFing and they put me on a higher calorie plan. I just don't have an appetite, and certainly no motivation to shop/cook, so hopefully this can help me.

Great idea. A mate of mine signed up when she was in thesis writing mode and no time for shopping/cooking. She was happy with the food.

Andrew is into his 9th week of lite 'n' easy, but he does dinners only. There has only be 1 dinner that he didn't like "Chicken Dijon" or something like that. The spicy stuff is a bit to hot for him as well. Other than that he loves it. I have also had a couple, as some nights he will have what we're eating if I do a roast or something, and I have found the ones that I have had are really tasty as well.

He is on it to loose weight, but we can't afford the full days worth of meals. So just with dinners only and walking for 20 mins a day he has lost over 5kg in 9 weeks.

I tried it and like Ginger found the food pretty awful. I think its fantastic for you at the moment though - anything that makes life easier has to be good!

Professor and I were on it for a few months a couple years back. The frozen dinner meal thingies are just like Lean Cuisines (only probably more expensive!), but the lunches are frickin' AWESOME. Fresh food, all bagged up and numbered so you know what day to eat it. For example, one day there would be some cold meat and a soy and linseed bun for lunch, with an apple and a yoghurt and a trail mix. REALLY yummy

My DH and I tried it a number of years ago but gave it up after two weeks as we didn't like the food - sorry. However given your circumstances at present I think it it will be perfect for you. Especially glad you have been able to speak to them about the fact that you are b'feeding and that they can put you on a higher calorie plan. Eating right with a newborn is hard enough without your added stresses at the moment. Big hugs. Hope it gets better for you soon xx

DP and I were on it when we were renovating and had no kitchen for the good part of a month. I really enjoyed the food, esp the lunches. I actually could have been on their ads, I enjoyed it so much. I think its a great idea for you at the moment.

I was on it years ago when it was just me and DS and I found it awesome as I didnt have to go to the shops

[Sopdet]

Loved all the food bar the dinners, so I went on the plan without the dinners. It was handy to just grab a bag(s) and go.

Will probably go back onto it in the next few weeks.

LOVED IT!! I was on LnE for 6 months, due to money probs I couldnt afford it any more, I was on iit for weight loss 1800 cal at $160. per week. It is defs easier all meals are pre packed you even get butter portions, bread, fruit all you need is fresh milk. and a microwave.
Would love to go on it again. It made me realise how much food i should eat to be healthy, i used to only eatonce maybe 2wice a day now i eat 5-6 little meals.
Good Luck and I hope whatever is going on personally works itself out.

We really liked it. I'll echo the other comments about the dinners getting a bit monotonous though. Breakfast, lunches and snacks however were awesome.

Seems like a very sensible mummy decision given what's going on in your life at the moment.

Great idea! Perhaps also set some alarms on your phone to remind you to eat. That will also help get your appetite back too. x
