I'm hoping that this will make me more mindful of portion sizes and ingredient choices when I come off my cooking hiatus. I was delighted that my first Lean Cuisine lunch (roasted turkey with apples and cornbread dressing... mmmmm....) tasted great, but incredibly frustrated that I was still hungry after I finished. Now I make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day and with my meals, and the meals leave me satisfied.
Has anyone else gone on a kind of "pre-packaged meal" plan? What were the results? Were you able to translate these kinds of meals into your cooking?

i haven't tried a meal plan, but i often eat the lean cuisine for lunch and feel hungry after too. it will take a little while to get used to the smaller portions, but it gets better. you can also get a snack to eat afterwards.....yogurt, granola bar, fruit (the little fruit cups are good for snacks), etc. they can make an amazing difference! be sure to eat slow b/c it is easy to gulp those things down. it takes your body a little time to realize it has eaten, which means if you eat fast, you will still feel really hungry after you are done. take your time and then don't eat a snack for about 30-60 minutes after.
