Since Lite n’ Easy started 25 years ago, we’ve seen lots of changes in the way Australians live and eat.

For starters, we’re all so much busier these days.

With more and more things to do each day, more

Australians are turning to fast and unhealthy food

choices. It’s hardly surprising then as time goes on

we’re seeing more Australians struggle with their weight.

Thankfully, Lite n’ Easy’s simple and flexible

approach to eating well is helping busy Australians

lose weight and enjoy more time to do all the things

they love to do.

Take a look at all the ways you can enjoy Lite n’ Easy

– with so many flexible options to choose from and

no binding contracts to sign. You can eat well, lose

weight and keep pace with your busy schedule.

Over the past 25 years Australians

have become increasingly busy with predictable

results...

Over the past year Bec has lost an impressive 15 kilos

on Lite n’ Easy and now, with the help of her mum

Janet, she’s preparing for exciting times ahead after

recently becoming engaged to marry.

“I started at 73 kilos and was a size 12 heading into

a size 14. I knew I didn’t want to be that big, so mum

and I decided to do Lite n’ Easy together.”

“The fact that you can order online and it’s delivered

to your door really makes it so simple. You don’t have

to meet with anyone or count points. It wasn’t an

extra thing that we had to find time for. Lite n’ Easy

just fitted into our lifestyle.”

Janet, Bec’s mum, is delighted with her daughter’s

results. “Bec lost so much weight and just looks and

feels so much healthier now. She found a whole

new lease on life.”

and wife Alison wedding blissChecking in with

One of Australia’s favourite TV stars, Ryan Moloney and

his wife Alison tell us what’s changed in their life since

Ryan lost 17 kilos with Lite n’ Easy.

“It’s been over 2 years since Ryan lost weight with

Lite n’ Easy. He’s a different man now - so much fitter,

healthier and happier. Plus he has more time and

energy to spend with the kids. As soon as he gets home

from work he drops his bag and is running round and

playing with them. And that just wouldn’t have

happened when he was bigger.”

“The biggest stumbling block of my life” Ryan adds,

“was my weight. With Lite n’ Easy’s help, the weight is

no longer a problem. We recently found an old photo of

when we just got married and my daughter said “What’s

wrong with Daddy? Is he sick?” That’s how big I was.

“I have so much more energy and time to spend

with the kids now, it’s brilliant. For our kids to see both

of us exercising and having the right food in the house -

it sets them up for a much healthier life in the future.

I know I am a much better example to them and that

takes a huge load off my mind.”

Bec prepares for

Lite n’ Easy was about simply looking good and feeling good

about ourselves.

Alison“I come from a very competitive sailing family, I’ve got two brothers and we’re

all world champions. I’ve sailed for 15 years and in that time won 3 national

championships, 2 Asia Pacific championships and 2 world championships.

“As well as sailing, I’ve also got my own business to run. So when you

combine those elements, life is pretty busy and you have to make an

investment in yourself at some point.

Lite n’ Easy has given me back the time to train. It’s taken away all those time-

consuming food chores and allowed me more time to do what I want to do.

Ryan Moloney

If your goal is weight loss or you simply want to save hours in your day, Lite n’ Easy

is the perfect solution for you.

In 2005 Natalie from Brisbane lost 30 kilos using Lite n’ Easy and went on to feature as a success story in our spring newsletter and on our 2006 TV campaign, inspiring thousands to follow in her footsteps.

“Back then I was just 26 years old and enjoying life as a

young single professional woman. At the time, losing the

weight had been the greatest achievement of my life.

“The biggest and most exciting changes in my life were

just around the corner though. Within five years I had

married and had two beautiful children Ruby (5) and

Scarlett (18 months). I’m also now working one day a week,

which keeps me very busy these days.

“I still love Lite n’ Easy and was planning to restart my

deliveries in the New Year. Like everyone, having 2 children

has left me with a few unwanted kilos around the middle.

But having lost all that weight six years ago, I know

Lite n’ Easy will work for me.”

Natalie Millward

After recently turning 40 Jody took time with us to reflect

on her amazing weight loss success using Lite n’ Easy

eight years ago

“I was so proud of myself in 2004 after losing 30 kilos with

the help of Lite n’ Easy. I couldn’t wait to share my story

with the rest of the world when I was invited to feature in

the Lite n’ Easy Christmas 2004 newsletter.

“Lite n’ Easy even asked me to appear as a testimonial

story on the Good Morning Australia TV show. It was a hoot!

“Now it’s been eight years since making the decision to

start Lite n’ Easy and I have managed to control my weight

successfully with only a couple of fluctuations.

“Deciding to start Lite n’ Easy was one of the best decisions

I have ever made.”

Where are they now?

Narelle FraserIn 2002 Narelle was 76.5 kilos and was “miserable”.

After a failed attempt to lose the weight on her own

she decided there must be a better way. That’s when

she decided to start Lite n’ Easy.

With Lite n’ Easy I lost 17.5 kilos in 20 weeks and it proved

to be both a life and career changing moment for me.

I loved the feeling of being fit and having a more positive

frame of mind.

I’m now a mother of 2 energetic young boys, and

Lite n’ Easy is indispensible in my busy life. In my role

both professionally and as a mother, it’s so important

for me to lead by example and maintain a healthy weight.

I always refer new gym members to Lite n’ Easy if they

need to lose weight or if they’re just too busy to cook.

I was the happiest and most confident I’d ever been and couldn’t believe how much my life had changed.

I wanted to motivate other women to make healthy changes in their

lives – so I bought a gym.

Eating well

When it comes to healthy eating and successful weight loss, there are some basic principles that haven’t changed in the past 25 years:

Many of us start the new year with a resolution to eat well and get fit. Thanks to

Lite n’ Easy the eating well part can be easy – what’s not so straight forward is how

to maintain an exercise program through what can be, quite challenging conditions.

Don’t let your exercise resolution melt away in the hot weather – follow these simple,

common sense tips and turn the promise you made to yourself into a reality right now.

this summerWorkout smart

made simple- Portion control

- Nutritional balance (don’t exclude any food groups, eg: carbohydrates)

- Plenty of variety

- Tasty, wholesome food

- Regular eating throughout the day (don’t allow yourself to get hungry)

Nutritional fads have come and gone over the years,

but Lite n’ Easy has embraced these simple principles

for 25 years that have helped so many of our customers

to improve their lives.

That said, nutrition is a complex science so at Lite n’ Easy

we’ve made it our business to keep abreast of all the latest

healthy eating research from around the world.

By doing this we make sure our meal plans incorporate

all the latest, scientifically proven concepts such as higher

levels of protein, dairy calcium, Glycemic Index and

reduced sodium levels.

Nutrition aside, we also know that if our food doesn’t

taste great, you won’t stick with it. So even with all the

nutritional boxes ticked, we go to great lengths to make

sure every meal we make tastes absolutely delicious.

On a personal note I’ve loved every minute of my time

spent with Lite n’ Easy. I have taken immense pleasure

from knowing our work has helped many thousands of

people to live healthier, happier lives.

Exercising early in the morning or late in the afternoon sounds

like an obvious way to beat the heat, but it’s amazing how

we let other commitments take priority, leaving only the hot,

middle chunk of the day free to get out there. Why not try to

prioritise your exercise to the top of your to do list instead!

Heat places stresses on your body even before you start

exercising. So if you are going to exercise in the heat, remain

mindful of the fact that your body will have to work harder

to counter the conditions. Take it easy and you’ll be more

inclined to come back for more the next day!

Stay hydrated: It is important to drink plenty of water

throughout your exercise regime, even if you don’t feel thirsty.

Swimming or aqua aerobics are both zero impact full body

workouts, which are also a great way to cool off on a hot

summer’s day. Go on, get wet and give it a go!

Avoid the outdoor heat and escape to the air conditioned

gym or get active indoors.

Remember, there’s always an “excuse” not to exercise,

but more importantly, there’s always an even better reason

to do it as well!

Don’t push it

make sure you get all the

taste and nutrition you

need to reach your goals.
