Frequently Asked Questions for the 6 week Chronic Disease Management Program
How many meals will I receive on the Program?
You will receive calorie-controlled meals for 5 days out of 7 to help you achieve your health and weight goals for 6 weeks. Following your first Doctor’s consultation, a Lite n’ Easy dedicated consultant will contact you within 2 business days from your first Doctor's consultation to arrange the first available delivery of your calorie-controlled meals depending on your location.
Can I swap out some of the meals?
As your meals are personalised to meet certain calorie requirements based on your Doctor's prescription, it is not recommended to swap out meals from the set menus ordered by your Lite n’ Easy consultant as this will alter the calorie count. Our dedicated partner, Lite n’ Easy, have over 250+ delicious meals to make your journey a wholesome and flavoursome one! If you have special dietary requirements, i.e., vegetarian this should be discussed at your first consultation with our nurse.
What if I live outside of Lite n' Easy's deliver areas?
Lite n’ Easy currently delivery to over 90% of the Australian population with their delivery areas are expanding weekly.

What if I slip up on the program?
Remember: You Never Fail
F.A.I.L means - First Attempt in Lifestyle-changes.
The first step is to recognise that a slip up will happen at some stage in the process! It’s okay to slip up while you’re on the program, but the most important thing is to recognise that you have slipped up and remember why you started the program, to prevent it from happening again. Start afresh from your next meal and compensate by ensuring that you are following your daily resistance training workout plan and any additional exercise that you can fit in. If your slip ups become prolonged – we recommend reaching out to one of clinical team or speaking with the Doctor at the next consultation to discuss what options may be available to help further support you.
Is this a long term solution?
Throughout the Program doing it on your own for 2 days a week will help you make positive changes to your lifestyle, exercise and food habits. Doing it on your own for 2 days a week from the beginning, will help you keep the weight off long term and, in turn, improving your health benefits. This approach will assist in driving changes in patterns of eating to help you be the healthiest version of yourself.
What if I am not losing weight?
Having a plateau in your progress during a lifestyle change is a very common occurrence – so common you expect it happen at some stage in the program. If you're not getting your body in calorie deficit, you will not lose weight, so it is extremely important to follow your Doctor’s prescription for your meals to maximise your health goals. It is easy to underestimate how much to eat, so you may be eating more than you think – keeping a food diary can help identify these issues.
If you’re doing all the right things and following the Doctor’s orders and still not losing weight, that’s what our Doctors are here for. They are trained to help you though these situations - to help you reach your weight loss goals and get healthier. So, at your next check in with your Doctor, we recommend discussing this with them so that they can make the necessary changes to ensure that you are reaching your weight and health goals.
Will the program help my current health condition or chronic disease?
The Doctor’s Health & Wellbeing program is designed to support any underlying lifestyle-based health condition that you may have with the support and guidance of trained Doctors. If you have a lifestyle-based condition (diabetes, heart disease, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnoea, obesity, fatty liver, high blood pressure or cholesterol) our Doctors have the tools to help support your current health condition and to give you the best chance of success in transforming your health and improving your life.
