At the start of 2022, a motorcycle accident changed everything for me. After multiple surgeries on my ankle and the arthritis I have been left with, I went from being incredibly active, playing rugby union, training Muay Thai and going to the gym, to being unable to exercise at all. Over the next three years the weight piled on and I gained around 20kgs. I could not fit into my clothes, I avoided mirrors, and I no longer felt comfortable in my own skin. Something had to change.
Before
After
I have struggled with my weight since childhood and had a history of restrictive eating, so I did not want to go down that path again. I knew I needed a structured meal plan that took the stress and overthinking out of food. That is when I turned to Lite n’ Easy. I signed up for the Lite calorie-based 5 day meal plan, which gave me the flexibility to enjoy a couple of days each week for socialising while still keeping me on track.
I had tried other ready-made meals before, but they all seemed to taste the same. Lite n’ Easy was different. The variety and flavour of the meals quickly became the biggest attraction for me. I have favourites, like the Chicken and Cashews that I order every week with a little chilli crisp added because I love spice, but I also love that there is so much choice that I have never gotten bored. The meals are satisfying, and even my 16 year old daughter was able to prepare them for me when I could not walk.
After a year on Lite n’ Easy, I have lost 25kgs and feel like myself again. I am back exercising and building muscle again. More importantly, I feel comfortable in my skin, my clothes fit again, and I finally feel in control. Lite n’ Easy gave me back the confidence I had lost and freed up so much mental space by taking the stress out of deciding what to eat.
Even now that I have reached my goal weight, I plan to keep using Lite n’ Easy. With my arthritis, standing for long periods to prepare meals is painful, and having tasty, healthy food ready to go is a lifesaver.
