How many meals will I receive?
You will receive meals for 5 days out of 7 to help you achieve your health and weight goals.
Can I change meals?
Yes. Once you have selected your calorie prescribed meal plan through the Lite n' Easy online portal you have the option to select meals that better suit your taste and preferences. Changing meals may impact the calorie intake per day.
Is this a long-term solution?
Doing it on your own for at least 2 days a week will help change your habits and make them life long and has significantly contributed to the success for our patients losing and maintaining their fat loss.
Why are the Doctor’s prescribed weight loss meal plans set?
The weight loss meals are based on the total amount of calories that you Doctor has been prescribed. Changing meals within the set weight loss plans as displayed online will impact the calorie intake per day.
Can I swap meals around in the Doc’s weight loss meal plans?
Each day of the Doc’s weight loss meal plans is based on the total number of calories prescribed by your Doctor. So, if it suits you to eat your dinner meal at lunch time or your lunch in the evening, that’s okay.
What if I order less than three meals a day or snacks?
The total number of calories is based on ordering 3 meals a day (i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner) and snacks (if required). If you order less than 3 meals a day or if you leave out snacks where required, you will need to make up these calories using your own food. We also recommend that you track your calories to ensure that you don’t exceed the number of calories as prescribed because it will impact on the progress and success of your weight loss and or health goals.
What if I have a food allergy?
If you have an anaphylactic reaction to any ingredients used in any of the products created by Lite n' Easy we unfortunately are unable to accomodate your order. We recommend checking the ingredient list for each meal on the Lite n' Easy website thoroughly before consumption. Please contact Lite n' Easy if you are still unsure.
Are all of the weight loss meal plans delivered on the same day?
Yes! All of your meals for the week will be packaged in a refrigerated box and delivered at the same time. You should refrigerate your meals upon arrival and as soon as possible, and can even freeze the meals to extend the shelf life (though we recommend eating them fresh).
What is the cost of the meal plans?
Can I order meals without seeing a Doctor?
Yes! You can order the 1200 calorie or 1500 calorie meal plan without seeing a Doctor. Check out the range of healthy and well portioned meals you can order without seeing a doctor. Visit: www.liteneasy.com.au/doctors-kitchen/
Doctor Information
What is the cost of a Doctor?
Many of our prescribing Doctors bulk bill. Please enquire with the relevant Doctor/medical centre as to the fees for the initial consult, you may be eligible for a medicare rebate.
How much weight will I lose with a Doctor?
Everyone loses weight at different rates depending on their age, gender, weight and level of exercise. Our Doctors will personalise a weight loss plan that is tailored to your individual body measurements to ensure you lose fat and reach your goals. Healthy, long term fat loss is achieved when you lose from 0.5 to 1 kilogram per week. This is what our plans are aimed at achieving. We recommend regular exercise and in particular strength training with the help of the Doctor's strength training workout plan or with a tailored plan created by an exercise physiologist or personal trainer to help achieve and maintain fat loss.
Why do I need to check in with a Doctor?
Our Doctors measure and closely monitor your body fat loss and muscle mass to help boost your metabolism and achieve your optimum health outcomes. The success of your fat loss or achieving your health goals, relies on you checking in with our Doctors at least once a fortnight. The frequency pf reviews sometimes changes depending on your Doctor’s recommendation. At each consult, our Doctors will monitor your body fat, metabolic rate, and muscle mass so that you burn maximal amounts of fat, and improve your metabolism without compromising your lean muscle.
Why is it important to follow the strength training exercises?
Our Doctors are focused on dropping your body fat and visceral fat, while importantly doing their utmost to help you maintain your muscle for metabolic health. Maintaining your lean muscle mass is vital for weight loss because as your muscle mass increases, the rate at which you burn calories increases which is reflected in an increase in your basal metabolic rate (BMR). This process helps you reduce excess body fat levels and lose weight in a healthy way and importantly keep it off for the long term. Strength training is important for fat loss because lean muscle helps you burn more calories at rest. The more muscle you have the higher your metabolism.
Can I eat the Doc’s meals if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
We recommend that you consult with a medical professional or medical specialist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, before commencing any of the meals, products or program.
