Need Help ... Lessman Secure Meal replacement ... tomorrow TSV

Tomorrow on the Southern Channel the TSV is the Lessman Secure Meal Replacement.

I know it is soy ... and some have voiced concerns in the past.

Has anyone used this with success in the past to lose weight?

Does it keep you full?

Is it that much better than a product like Slim Fast?

What flavors did you like?

They are very sweet.Try the other new one he has.Sorry Can't remember name but it is good with whey protein no soy.

I didn't use it to lose weight but as a healthier snack. If you put it in a blender with skim milk and ice, you can still taste a powdery taste, but it's not horrible. The chocolate was much better than the vanilla, which is awful on its own, IMO, but can be added in with fruit or peanut butter.

I don't know if Secure Meal still does this, but a few years ago you could go and order a sample place for free and just pay S&H (I want to say it was like $5). It was a good way to try them.

I did that and you get a LOT in that sample pack. I actually liked the coffee a lot.

I didn't use it as a meal replacement or weight loss, I just liked the idea of it as a snack/to add to smoothies, etc.

I have to check out his TSV and the whey one.

Thanks for the heads up.

I have used the Chocolate and the Coffee. I found them both to be much too sweet, and not filling in the least. As others have said here, I ended up using it more for a snack or tide me over, and actually put it in my coffee!

I like the coffee flavor in the original Secure. I preferred it mixed with 12 oz. of milk. I sometimes used it as a meal replacement but mostly as a snack. Can no longer do soy so I will have to check on the whey product.

I like the Coffee too. I haven't used it in quite a while so I'm not sure if Andrew has changed it in any way. I enjoyed it as a snack. I'll have to look at it again to see the carb count is tho...

I have it for breakfast most mornings, mixed with frozen fruit and almond milk. My favorite flavors are pina colada (not available as a TS) and chocolate. The coffee is also really good but I get by mixing vanilla secure with brewed coffee so that I don't have too many canisters sitting around.

The only flavor I really don't like is the berry, which years ago used to be a favorite, but now reminds me too much of pez candy. I can mix enough stuff in it to use up what I bought, but I'll pass on buying any more until it gets reformulated again.

My doctor says the soy is ok for me.

I can't stand slim fast.

I like the Coffee one but did prefer the older version (thought it had a better coffee flavor). I use it (a heaping not level scoop) with water and a little bit of non-sweetened vanilla almond milk for breakfast and that holds me until lunch.

Liquids fill me up but the effect does not last long, in an hour I am hungry. I used to mix the coffee flavor in my morning coffee as a protein boost and the chocolate made an okay hot chocolate. We used the vanilla in our morning fruit smoothies. The secure meals are very sweet, too sweet for my taste, my husband likes the sweet taste. Now we use unflavored raw protein in the morning smoothie. We did not use them for weight loss.

I believe AL products are usually superior.

I considered Secure, but then I compared ingredients Secure vs Shakeology from Beach Body. IMHO Shakeology is much better. I'll stay with Shakeology.

I tried the sampler years ago. The vanilla, chocolate and coffee were the best IMO and tasted pretty good. They weren't filling to me. I didn't use a blender and made them with 1% milk. Probably if you add more powdered milk, ice, and a blender it would be more satiating. The soy concerns me so I will wait until Andrew comes out with flavored whey replacement shakes. The Secure Soy are not as filling as a meal, but similar to how full a Slim-fast shake is.

I tried it and hated it. I guess I am sensitive to chemical sweeteners, because that sweetness (and the bitterness of the sucralose) made me gag. It's the only AL product I've ever returned, and at that, I bought 3 big ones and only had the heart to return one, as I have a lot of respect for AL's integrity. I threw the rest away, saving the big empty containers for use on the farm!

Major kudos, though, for him finding non-GMO soy. There are studies that show mice getting horrible tumors from GMO grain, and farmers as well as a study show loss of livestock fertility trickling down generations. We don't hear about things like this because the media is supported by pharm and agribusiness and they won't bite the hand that feeds them.

It's been a couple of years now. If he had a small sample pack I'd try it again. Maybe I've changed since. I truly believe, based on my positive experience with other AL products, that you can't do better in a meal replacement shake. If, of course, you can stand sucralose! - Bird

Liquids never fill me up. I could never drink one of these as a meal. I much prefer to eat whole fresh fruit and greek yogurt for breakfast. Also there's a lot of carbs in these.

I don't know why anyone would want to drink a meal if they still have teeth

I'm looking at them, too. They are extremely low calorie and low protein - 70 calories and 7 grams of protein, if mixed in water. The host was talking about using it frequently during the day as snacks, etc. I was also surprised that it wasn't on at least one additional shipment, since it is an annual TS.

I have used it for years. Haven't lost any weight but I figure it is better than having coffee in the morning, with the vitamins etc. I like the coffee flavor but chocolate is also good too.

I still have a 100 meal unopened bottle. So I told myself I will pass on the TSV. BUT it is quite a deal. Maybe in a few hours I will change my mind.

CrazyDaisy — Sun, 12 Jan 2014 17:17:52 GMT

I use it all the time. Not much of a breakfast eater but will do a smoothie. I use frozen fruit almond milk and occasionally yogurt. Holds me easily till lunch. Also use the Choc with leftover morning coffee. Put it over ice for an afternoon pick-me-up.

I've tried them, not that bad tasting. But any product like this ends up being an appetizer for me. It just doesn't feel like I've had a meal.

Re: Need Help ... Lessman Secure Meal replacement ... tomorrow TSV

I tried this.

It tastes TERRIBLE. The worst shake I have every had.

Plus it is very expensive.

And it certainly didn't give me energy or fill me up between meals.

You would be better off eating an apple with peanut or almond butter (for protein).

Don't waste your money.
