FAQs

Lite n’ Easy is committed to the ongoing delivery of safe, healthy meals to our customers – including to those suburbs currently in lock-down in Melbourne.

As the situation around the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to evolve, we will be sure to keep you posted on any changes that may affect your Lite n’ Easy delivery.

Lite n’ Easy remains committed to using industry best practices in the preparation and handling of food to ensure the highest quality and safety of every meal.

At this stage, the advice from the Australian Government’s food safety standards authority (FSANZ) is that transmission through food is considered unlikely and there is no evidence of this occurring with Coronavirus to date.  For more information, visit FSANZ.

Yes, for the safety of our customers and our drivers, we have initiated a Contactless Delivery procedure which will help ensure there is no person to person contact required when your food is delivered. If you are home when your delivery is made, we would ask for your assistance to ensure you keep a safe distance from the driver to avoid unnecessary contact.

If an esky is considered by the driver to be ‘not fit for return’, you will need to dispose of the esky yourself.

Whenever possible, we would ask that you have a family member, friend or caretaker present to assist you when your delivery is made.

If this is not possible, our drivers will assist you but they will be required to follow strict new protocols in doing so. This includes the sanitizing of their hands prior to entering your home and upon leaving your home.

They will also require you to keep a safe distance from them to avoid unnecessary contact.

In either case, you MUST advise us of your situation either by calling us on 13 15 12 or by updating the ‘delivery instructions’ on your web account to include the words “Coronavirus Isolation” as you place your order.

As part of continued efforts to mitigate the risk of spreading the coronavirus, we are taking decisive steps with our esky returns.

If you are in quarantine and tested positive for Covid-19, we will continue with our contactless delivery service however we will not be collecting your esky. These esky’s remain your property and as such, must be personally disposed of. We appreciate your honesty and transparency in helping keep our drivers and the broader community safe.

If you are in self-isolation due to returning from overseas, interstate travels or as a precautionary measure, our drivers will pick them up accordingly. However, if the driver confirms that the esky is not fit for return for any other reason, the esky remains your property and as such, must be personally disposed of.

Our drivers have been trained to assess the eskies and are aware not to pick up any eskies from homes where Covid-19 has been confirmed. In addition, our drivers are equipped with sanitisers for use throughout the day to ensure the integrity of safely handling the eskies.

Jump Start is a 2 week program designed by Lite n’ Easy to kick start your weight loss journey. It combines 5 days of normal eating with 2 days of fasting when the breakfast and morning snack are removed.

For more information about the Jump Start program, click here.

Jump Start has been designed to be a short term, 2 week option to kick start your weight loss journey. After the first 2 weeks we recommend you transition to the normal full 7 day meal plan for continued weight loss and the full nutritional benefits from eating 7 breakfasts instead of 5 each week.

Yes. On the 2 fasting days each week, you won’t be eating breakfast or morning tea. This reduces your average weekly calorie intake by approximately 600 to 800 calories depending on which pack you choose and gives your body additional time to burn calories on the fasting days. As a result, you’re likely to improve your weight loss results in the first two weeks and stay motivated to continue reaching your goals.

After your initial two weeks on Jump Start, we recommend you switch over to our regular 7 Day, Full Meal Plans with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks supplied every day. You will be able to select from the 1200, 1500 or 1800 calorie plans.

Lite n’ Easy offers you total flexibility though. So you can continue with the 5:2 approach for longer if you wish. You can always introduce our breakfasts later, this will ensure you are receiving the full nutritional benefits of eating breakfasts 7 days a week.

Any two days that work for you – they do not need to be consecutive days. Ideally, choose days that are busy to help you get through the morning. Water, Sparkling water and black tea or coffee can also be used during the fasting period.

When you place your order and select a Jump Start pack, you will then be able to select the 5 days you would like to include breakfast and the 2 days you would like to keep as fasting days.

It is normal to feel a bit hungrier on days when you are eating less food. Try to schedule your fasting for days where you have lots of distractions so that you aren’t thinking about food.  You could try reading a book or going for a walk with a friend.  To manage hunger, make sure you are drinking plenty of water, as this will help to keep you full.

If after the first week on Jump Start you find the fasting approach too difficult to stick to, we recommend you switch over to one of our regular 7 Day, Full Meal Plans with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks supplied every day. You will be able to select from the 1200, 1500 or 1800 calorie plans.

If you need any assistance choosing the right meal plan, call us on 13 15 12.

If weight loss is your goal, alcohol should be avoided. If you choose to drink alcohol, the Australian guidelines recommend having at least two alcohol free days, and on the days you do chose to drink to limit your intake to two standard drinks. On the days you plan to drink, adding in extra exercise can help to offset the calories of the alcohol.
