I plan to start a 900 calorie a day diet on Monday 6/7/04. The way I see is this will be 3 300 calorie meals a day. Lean Cuisines and Lean Pockets have fewer calories then that. I’m the kind of person who can’t be left to eat healthy snacks through out the day because I will over do it. Here’s a little background for you. I am 5’7” and 150 pounds and about a size 10. I would like to get down to an 8. I would like to see some good results by July 4th. I am almost 28 years old with a 7 year old daughter. I work full time, go to school part time, and have a husband who works at night and sleeps in the evenings when I am home. This leaves me little time for exercise. Now that school is out for the summer my evenings are a little freer for some sort of activity. I also plan to walk during my brakes at work since I will not be using that time to study. I’ll keep you posted.

Welcome, and Good Luck. [color=red:87d98349c0][u:87d98349c0][b:87d98349c0]Kiara[/b:87d98349c0][/u:87d98349c0][/color:87d98349c0]

It's dangerous to go below 1200 calories a day and those frozen entrees are loaded with sodium.

Good call. You have to be sure to take in enough calories to support your body!

Those Lean Cuisines and Lean Pockets are meant to be a meal option, not a primary source of nutrition. I don't see anything wrong with substituting one meal a day with one or the other, but make sure there are vegetables in your 2 other meals. Most vegetables are really low in calories and provide needed nutrition. Good Luck, Sam

The box frozen entrees are a very good outlet for people who don't have time to prepare the special foods needed for dieting on a daily basis. I have heard some bad things in the posts about them, but lean cuisine, budget gourmet and weight watchers etc .. that you purchase in the grocery store are high on my recommendation list to anyone pressed for time and wanting to lose weight. Just watch the sodium and take a vitamin supplement. They are an awesome way to keep track of your calories, sodium, sugar, carbs etc.. and stay on track. One of my very best friends went on Jenny Craig and spent alot of money on the meals, another one of my friends stuck to the grocery store for her meals. Both lost a considerable amount of weight, but the grocery gal lost more (25 lbs more) and saved more money by far!If your a little on the time saving and money saving side of life, give them a try.. :P
