I'll let you decide:
I checked the ingredients list for Stouffer’s Lean Cuisine® Honey Roasted Pork with Roasted Gold Potatoes. Here’s what’s in this product:
Roasted potatoes, water, seasoned cooked pork product (pork, water, coating), dehydrated honey (sugar, honey), maltodextrin, partially hydrogenated cottonseed and soybean oil, modified food starch, dehydrated garlic, salt, fructose, corn syrup solids, dehydrated flavor (nonfat dry milk, gum Arabic), wheat soybeans, why protein concentrate, salt, flavor (canola oil, natural flavors), onion juice, potassium chloride, dextrose, honey flavor (honey, ethyl alcohol, water, propylene glycol, flavor), lemon juice powder (maltodextrin, lemon juice concentrate, lemon oil, natural flavorings), carrots, red peppers, honey, soy sauce (water, wheat, soybeans, salt, lactic acid), modified cornstarch, butter, roasted garlic concentrate (garlic, salt, natural flavoring, sesame oil, canola oil and citric acid), onions, bleached enriched wheat flour (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), garlic puree, salt, flavoring (maltodextrin, yeast extract, cultured whey, flavor, and salt), spices, potassium chloride, caramel coloring, erythorbic acid, sugar, carrageenan with dextrose.
Wow…You probably wouldn’t cook a meal yourself that contained “erythorbic acid”. (What is erythorbic acid, anyway?)
What's in Your Easy-Does-It Frozen Meal?
After reading that long list, you’ll be curious about the ingredients in your own frozen diet meals. Believe me, it’s easier to read.
Here’s the ingredients list for cooking your own honey-roasted pork diet meal, using the national labeling standard that requires the major ingredients to be listed first:
red potatoes
broccoli
pork
honey
soy sauce
prepared mustard.
That sounds a little more appetizing, doesn’t it?
And the very best part? It's easy!
I received so many requests for help from people who wanted to know exactly how I did it, that I went ahead and wrote a book - it's called The Easy-Does-It Diet, and it's available for instant download from this web page.
Since it first became available, hundreds of readers have used the simple ideas to change the way they diet.
Some people use my step-by-step instructions to create their own meals when they really need to lose lots of weight, and they don't want to be tempted by fattening, expensive restaurant food or vending machines at work.
And other people cook up a batch of diet meals when they notice the scales have sneaked up a pound or two, and they want to watch their calories a little more carefully for a few weeks.
Whether they need to lose a little or a lot, they're now doing it the easy way. And they're eating great food while actually saving money!
