I first started having problems with my diet whilst caring for my husband who was very ill. He was given only weeks to live and I lost my appetite completely. When I did get hungry, I often found myself eating take away food without any control of time, portion size or the quality of food. After he passed away, I fell into deep depression and gained a lot of weight.
I suffer with very painful osteoarthritis in my hands which makes cooking difficult. I also have general body weakness, which makes it necessary for me to use a walking still to keep my balance. Despite these conditions, it was not until I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes that I was spurred into action to do something about my health. I knew I had to improve my eating habits and also manage my weight, but I needed a meal solution that would be easy to manage.
My Home Care Package provider recommended Lite n’ Easy as they are a government approved meal delivery service for seniors. When I did my research, I was delighted to find that my package would cover 70% of the cost of my meals. I could order online or call the Lite n' Team they had put in place, dedicated to helping seniors like me. This made it all very easy.
I was very impressed with the quality and great taste of the Lite n’ Easy meals, particularly the My Choice range. I especially enjoyed that there were so many meals to choose from, all designed for the elderly to be the right size for our appetites and also cater for all our dietary needs in terms of protein, fibre, vegetables, etc. My favourites are any of the chicken and fish meals, with some extra soups or desserts added to my order if I feel like them.
After only a few months my Diabetes levels improved and I slowly began to feel so much better. The meals are so easy to prepare that even I can do them with my arthritic hands; just out of the freezer and into the microwave for 6-7 minutes, then onto a plate to eat, or even straight out of the box! I really enjoy my Lite n’ Easy meals every day and my GP is very happy with my choice.
I live in a large retirement village with over 230 homes and started a monthly newsletter there some 10 years ago. It’s called “The Herald” and working on it on my computer keeps me very busy and socially active. I have recommended Lite n’ Easy to many fellow residents, either in person or via the newsletter. That's because from my own experience I am so convinced of the quality, taste, reliability and life changing health benefits of the My Choice meals.
