Jodie, 48, QLD

“I've always needed nutrition that works as hard as I do."

As a competitive bodybuilder and now an adaptive CrossFit athlete, nutrition has always been one of the foundations of my performance. My goal has never been weight loss. It's about maintaining a healthy weight, building lean muscle and making sure my body has the fuel it needs to train, recover and perform at my best. Lite n' Easy gives me that consistency while taking the pressure off preparing every meal myself.

“Life is busy enough without worrying about what's for dinner."

Between working shift work as an emergency nurse and midwife, training twice a day, travelling interstate to see family and preparing for competitions, there aren't enough hours in the day. If I didn't have healthy meals ready to go, I'd often end up skipping meals or grabbing takeaway simply because it was convenient. Lite n' Easy makes healthy eating the easy choice and removes the stress of meal planning and preparation.

“Good nutrition has become one of my biggest priorities."

After being diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease in 2025, I became even more aware of how much the food I eat affects the way I feel. Maintaining a consistently high standard of nutrition is an important part of how I manage my Parkinson's and support my long-term health. I've found that eating balanced, whole foods helps me feel better and reduces the brain fog, inflammation and symptom flare-ups I experience after making poor food choices. I'm committed to giving my body the best possible nutrition because I believe it's one of the ways I can support my health and do everything I can to slow the progression of my Parkinson's. Lite n' Easy makes it simple to stay consistent with quality meals that support both my training and my overall wellbeing.

“It fits around my life, not the other way around."

One of the biggest reasons I've continued using Lite n' Easy for the past four years is the flexibility. There are no lock-in contracts, so I can order when I need it, pause when I'm travelling or competing and start again whenever it suits me. I love the variety, freshness and quality of the meals. I use the 1200 calorie meal plan as my foundation and simply add extra protein to meet my training requirements.

“It lets me focus on my goals instead of meal prep."

Preparing healthy meals every day takes time and mental energy that I'd much rather invest in my training, my career and my family. Knowing my meals are already organised means I can focus on what really matters. Whether I'm training for adaptive CrossFit competitions, working long hospital shifts or travelling, Lite n' Easy helps me stay consistent and removes one more thing from my already busy schedule.

“Maintaining my independence means everything to me."

Living with Parkinson's has given me a different perspective on independence. I know it's a progressive condition, so I want to do everything I can to stay active, capable and self-sufficient for as long as possible. Even small everyday tasks become more meaningful when you understand they may not always be easy. Lite n' Easy supports that independence by making healthy eating simple, reducing the daily load of shopping and meal preparation, and giving me the confidence that I'm taking care of myself while continuing to live life on my terms.
