HARLOW, England, February 21, 2011 - LighterLife has launched new healthy ready meal options to help over 50%
of the UK* who are currently overweight or obese.

The new launch comes at the same time as new figures are released
indicating that the NHS could become bankrupt in 10 years as a result of
rising rates of obesity** and new research from LighterLife which shows that
1.2million people have moved away from the healthy weight category into the
overweight or obese categories after an indulgent Christmas***.

The weight loss experts (www.lighterlife.com/) launched the new
low-fat, high protein, portion-controlled healthy ready meal options as a
convenient way of helping people make healthy choices at mealtimes. The range
consists of five meals, which are available on LighterLife's website.

The meal options include a lamb stew with chopped tomatoes, onions and
mushrooms, Italian chicken with mushrooms, onions and oregano, beef casserole
with diced carrots, potato, onions and peas, chicken casserole with carrots
potato, onions, peas and herbs and chicken supreme with diced carrots and
peas.

Paul Sturgeon, CEO of LighterLife, said: "We have been asked to make
ready meals in the past so we are sure they'll be an instant hit. We are
delighted to be able to offer people who are trying to lose weight with more
options, which are portion-controlled, low in fat and high in protein. We
hope the new healthy ready meal range will allow people to explore new
flavours and recipes safe in the knowledge that they are not going to
jeopardise their weight loss (www.lighterlife.com/) goals."
