Packaged, Frozen Diet Meals are Expensive…

Now You Can Fill Your Freezer With Delicious Home-Cooked Diet Meals. Save Money – Save Time – Eat Good – And Still Lose Weight.

Why Spend Extra Money on Smaller Portions?
Cook Just Once a Week (or Once a Month!) and Eat What You Love. Your Family Members Will Enjoy The Convenience of Home Made “TV Dinners” Too …

I’m going to go ahead and admit it – I kind of like the diet meals that you find in the supermarket.

You know the kind – they’re in the freezer case and have pretty pictures of the tiny meals you’ll find inside the little cardboard box.

It’s easy to throw one in the microwave, and you know exactly how many calories you’re getting, every time.

In fact, when I’m dieting, I just about have to use pre-portioned meals at work – because if I don’t I’ll end up at the local lunch counter, ordering something that is way too expensive, and much too fattening.

When I look around the lunchroom at work, I can see that at least half the women, (and many of the men), are eating out of those familiar packages.

Millions of people eat those frozen meals, and the companies that make them are piling up a fortune. I’m sure that you’ve bought a few of them, yourself.

But you know what? I don’t buy those diet meals any more.

I still take a pre-portioned, microwave-able meal to work, so I’m not tempted to eat something that isn’t on my diet.

But I don’t stand in front of the freezer case at the grocery store any more, trying to find some diet meals that happens to be on sale.

I just don’t eat tiny little meals out of cardboard containers any more.
When I need to watch my calories, my meals still include lots of veggies, something the supermarket brands often leave out – so I’m satisfied when my lunch is over, and I’m not tempted to make a stop at the candy machine on my way back to my desk.

Sometimes I add a delicious fruit smoothie I bring from home – or I have a whole-meal salad instead of a hot lunch.

For me, natural weight loss is more important that fast or quick weight loss – I want my diet food to be healthy, too.

My secret? I cook once every two or three weeks, and fill my freezer with delicious diet meals that are actually more nutritious, more flavorful, and more enjoyable than the national brands.

And they cost a lot less.
I make sure there’s always a nice variety, so I don’t get bored and use it as an excuse to “cheat.”

And I make sure that I’m following the suggestions of some of the nation’s top nutritional experts, so I know I’m getting the vitamins and fiber that everyone needs to lose weight and stay healthy.

And I show you exactly how to do it, in my book The Easy-Does-It Diet.

It’s a simple concept – and the big diet companies are making a fortune on this idea.
Because it works.

So, how much does it cost to fill your freezer with your own frozen meals?

Using only four recipes, and spending only about 2 ½ hours total, I filled my freezer with 27 meals, (enough for 5 ½ weeks-worth of lunches at the office!) for only $29.22. The same number of mass-produced meals would have cost $88.23!

Frankly, when I first added up these numbers, I couldn’t believe I’d done it right, so I ran it through the calculator several more times.

Note: I recently revised The Easy-Does-It Diet ebook and added many more recipes. You can find a full list of recipes in the current edition here.

I kept coming up with the same astounding savings.
If people are actually buying those mass-produced diet meals (and I know millions of people do) then no wonder so many folks think that diets are expensive. That all changes with the Easy-Does-It Diet.

The store brands have to cost more, because the companies have to pay for expensive “branding,” advertising, shelf space fees, packaging, and distribution. And none of those expensive “extra” costs taste good, or help you lose weight!

Are Your Own Diet Meals Better for You?
I’ll let you decide:

I checked the ingredients list for Stouffer’s Lean Cuisine® Honey Roasted Pork with Roasted Gold Potatoes. Here’s what’s in this product:

Roasted potatoes, water, seasoned cooked pork product (pork, water, coating), dehydrated honey (sugar, honey), maltodextrin, partially hydrogenated cottonseed and soybean oil, modified food starch, dehydrated garlic, salt, fructose, corn syrup solids, dehydrated flavor (nonfat dry milk, gum Arabic), wheat soybeans, why protein concentrate, salt, flavor (canola oil, natural flavors), onion juice, potassium chloride, dextrose, honey flavor (honey, ethyl alcohol, water, propylene glycol, flavor), lemon juice powder (maltodextrin, lemon juice concentrate, lemon oil, natural flavorings), carrots, red peppers, honey, soy sauce (water, wheat, soybeans, salt, lactic acid), modified cornstarch, butter, roasted garlic concentrate (garlic, salt, natural flavoring, sesame oil, canola oil and citric acid), onions, bleached enriched wheat flour (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), garlic puree, salt, flavoring (maltodextrin, yeast extract, cultured whey, flavor, and salt), spices, potassium chloride, caramel coloring, erythorbic acid, sugar, carrageenan with dextrose.

Wow…You probably wouldn’t cook a meal yourself that contained “erythorbic acid”. (What is erythorbic acid, anyway?)

What’s in Your Easy-Does-It Frozen Meal?
After reading that long list, you’ll be curious about the ingredients in your own frozen diet meals. Believe me, it’s easier to read.

Here’s the ingredients list for cooking your own honey-roasted pork diet meal, using the national labeling standard that requires the major ingredients to be listed first:

red potatoes
broccoli
pork
honey
soy sauce
prepared mustard.

That sounds a little more appetizing, doesn’t it?

And the very best part? It’s easy!
I received so many requests for help from people who wanted to know exactly how I did it, that I went ahead and wrote a book – it’s called The Easy-Does-It Diet, and it’s available for instant download from this web page.

Since it first became available, hundreds of readers have used the simple ideas to change the way they diet.
Some people use my step-by-step instructions to create their own meals when they really need to lose lots of weight, and they don’t want to be tempted by fattening, expensive restaurant food or vending machines at work.

And other people cook up a batch of diet meals when they notice the scales have sneaked up a pound or two, and they want to watch their calories a little more carefully for a few weeks.

Whether they need to lose a little or a lot, they’re now doing it the easy way. And they’re eating great food while actually saving money!
