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

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!
Beat the heat
Don’t push it
Think before you drink
Take a dip
Take it inside
Rest assured we will
continue to work hard to
make sure you get all the
taste and nutrition you
need to reach your goals.
