Some families who have followed the meal plan had this to say...

"Just wanted to tell you how much my husband and I are enjoying the plan. I thought he would be a cynic, but he is all over it and kept asking all week when the next plan was coming out. I have lost about 4 or 5 lbs total and I think my husband is down about 3 or 4. More than that, we're both feeling great and have a lot more energy etc. The first couple of days without caffeine were brutal and there has definitely been a meal here or there where we have improvised as we're out of the house or "treating" ourselves, but we have no problem getting back to the plan the next meal as it's so good. Looking forward to next week already, the shepherds pie and stuffed french toast sound awesome!"

Les, Toronto.

"…today is the first day that I haven't craved by usual daily muffin, cheese, and cookies... I'm feeling full and satisfied after every meal and snack! I feel great!!"

Cara, Toronto.

"Just wanted to say that we are loving all the food... my husband has been waking up a bit earlier and staying home a bit later in the morning to join breakfast with Amy and I :) This week has not only been good for our bodies, but our family has been coming together at the table more often, and for more healthy meals!"

Lauren, Toronto

"I'm really loving all the food and finding that I'm far less hungry as the days go by. I'm also realizing how little attention I was giving to what I was eating before. My kids always got the healthy stuff and I'd just grab whatever I could."

Stephanie, Toronto.
