While we were on our Measured Meals Program we worried that our families would suffer as they usually do when the cook in the family goes on a diet, but all the family survived!
Benefits
1. The cook was no longer grumpy around dinner time - or any other time when the word diet was mentioned
2. The rest of the family could help themselves to a meal (at about 400 calories) whenever they were hungry without having to ask. Children can operate a microwave pretty early in life.
3. On those busy nights when everyone was going somewhere in a hurry we didn't have to worry about feeding each member hurried meals - cutting down the high costs (and low nutrition) of things like take home pizza or burgers - less rush, less fuss!
4. It was a learning process for everyone so calorie counts became part of our family conversations.
5. Husbands and partners and children have a wide range of choices of what to have for dinner, if they want to eat one of the frozen dinners - and, if they are not watching their diet, they can have two or three if they want!
