Hi just come across this post. I have recently been on the Body Chef postal diet and lost a stone over 4 weeks. There are a number of programmes to choose from( low GI , vegetarian, "flat tummy diet" etc) I personally think the food is delicious- all freshly made .its not cheap ( approx 100 pounds a week but that's 3 meals a day) but for me it really did the trick

Dear Medway - I want to support JanePlan on several levels. Delicious food, easy to get things changed if a selection doesn't suit you for any reason. Absolutely fantastic support, both up front in terms of understanding your goals & how food fits with your own life and also during the JanePlan when you may have a blip or a change in lifestyle or anything really. The price is amazing too. And I'd say that Jane is hard working and highly ethical. I first did JanePlan almost 2 years ago (very successfully) and have since met & worked with Jane on other matters. She strikes me as a person of compassion and integrity. I have nothing but the highest praise for the customer service she provides, for the product itself and for her as a person. I hope that this feedback helps you put Jane & her business in context.

Hi everybody

Thought I would keep you updated on my Jane Plan diet.
Have been off the plan now for a few weeks and have tried my hardest to keep the weight off. Going to order a week just to get me fully into shape for Christmas festivities.

Back on board the plan full time in January, convinient for going back to work saves me having to worry about what to cook and stops me popping out and buying bad things.

Still fully supportive of Jane Plan

Off to the stylist magazine party tonight, the theme is power maternity leave...so should be interesting for me.
I am nearly a stone down, thanks Jane Plan!
Which is lucky becuase my maternity leave is about to come to an end, back to work in January so it's goodbye jeans hello power suit.
Wish me luck tonight ladies, it'smy first noght out for a few months (only joking).

I am also a vegetarian and tried the Janeplan. For me it was just not nice tasting but I'm not saying that's what everyone would feel.

The pasta was VERY high calorie and so I felt like I could make a less calorie pasta and more of it!

The breakfasts were just not sufficient either. I think a lot of diets work better when you eat meat.

I also figured that looking after two children I just couldn't last on the extremely small meals, I just didn't have enough energy.

Slimming world is upposed to be amazing but again as a vegetarian it's a tough diet to do. WW probably works the best.

I don't know much about any other diet plans delivered to your door, but I have used the Jane Plan earlier this year and I lost over a stone and felt great.
I loved the lasagne and other Italian menus in the range. The salads were delicious and even my husband liked them so I ordered an extra few tins for him.

Its easy to follow, easy to manage around a busy lifestyle and Jane was just a phone call away should I feel myself wavering. I think the one thing that has been missed from this discussion is the personal touch Jane provides. She is a great mentor and coach during your weight loss and I would recommend her services to anyone.

If you are unsure if this programme is for you I'm sure just buying a few weeks of food will be enough for you to see what it's like and if its for you. If not for you then you haven't spent too much money and I'm sure there will be plenty of Jane Plan followers who you can pass any un-eaten meals too. As its been said before its one of the cheapest around so it won't break the bank.

Good luck with your weight loss. I hope u get to your goal.

Thank you. I really appreciate this feedback.

Honestly, I understand the need for businesses to manage their brands online and to protect them from unecessarily harsh or negative criticism. I also see why you would want to direct a happy customer to this discussion. My (slight) issue with it is that the discussion was well balanced already and it appears over-managed to suddenly have a new member, directly addressing the two points of negative feedback. Anyway that is my view. You have a great business which is clearly thriving - I am sure it will withstand a couple of slightly negative, although fully qualified, points of feedback on a discussion board.

Caroline knows about the thread because she is one of our long standing clients and I asked her if she would like to join the discussion. I gave her the link and left the rest to her. She is a local lady and I know that she would have wanted to have her say. I often introduce new people to NVN - whether they want an opinion on Re Centre (one of my personal favourites) a local builder or window cleaner. I, like you, value it as a local resource and think that by directing new folks to the site when there is topic being discussed that would interest them, is a good way of increasing the presence of NVN.

When people call us having seen an advert (whether it's NVN or elsewhere) and are unsure about whether they want to start JP, I point them to NVN as an independent forum where they can learn more about what we do. Likewise I suggest they visit our Face Book page as well.

I am sorry to be cynical - but you joined NVN about 20 mins ago...how could you have known about this thread which is discussing various diet options in a very sensible and polite way? I do not doubt you have lost this weight on JP, but I find the timing of your post a little suspicious. I value this site because I believe that the people I am talking to are sharing their views and thoughts and ideas sponteously.

Well as they say it is a matter of taste but two stone down and 18 months later I am holding nicely thank you - the odd pound or two goes on after a large weekend (like this one!) but JanePlan forms the basis of my food life now. After many years of yo-yo dieting JanePlan keeps me straight and beautifully narrow! A few days of sticking to the plan properly will see me back at the weight I was in June 2011 when I reached goal.

I especially love the soups in this cold weather and my pasta and can't wait to try out the new range next order! High five to JanePlan and thanks!

Caroline

That is fabulous congratulations! As Jane says above it is personal taste and for the price it is good value.

Just finished week 3 and lost another 2 pounds this week. Still really enjoying the food. I actually really like the soups, except the tomato and basil, and I LOVE the lasagne. Apparantly the mushroom and carrot and coriander soups are new and I particularly like the mushroom.
The bottom line is I'm 8 pounds down in 3 weeks so really delighted! I'm going to do another month before christmas

It's so good to read all the feedback. I think it's important to remember that food is a very personal thing and what person loves, another person won't. For instance, our pasta range is our most popular range, it's made in Italy and has quite a strong flavour. However, the lady who posted here didn't like it. That's no problem, as there are lots and lots of different meals to choose from. We do run a free swop up service, just in case you do receive food you don't like and we are always interested to hear feedback on each clients' personal tastes. We are also always developing our range, and we can only get better with feedback, so thankyou everyone. The vegetarian lady has pointed out that the vegetarian range is not as wide as it could be, again we are working on this and will keep you posted. We now have over 3000 clients - 70% of whom regularly re order, so I hope we are doing something right. We've also been reviewed favourably in Vogue, The Daily Mail, Women's Fitness and lots more - and we have quite a few NVN hubbies on the Plan too! I'll be watching this page today, to hear what people have to say. Thank you again everyone for the feedback.

Having done WW and SW in the past and lost weight but put it back on again, I decided to look at Rosemary Conley and do it online ... so I signed up and then discovered that she has now launched Solo Slim - ready made meals which you order online and arrive quickly!

They seem very reasonable to me - and are delicious! As I have three little ones and pennies are tight I'm being as economical as I can ... so branflakes for brekkie, WW soup for lunch and then a Solo-slim meal for supper ... £27.99 for 10 meals, so not going to break the bank! And I lost 4lbs last week! Her average loss study showed 15lbs lost in a month ... which sounds good to me!

I snack on fruit and add veggies to the meals to bulk them up .. haven't felt hungry at all!
