Andrew Lessman - Oatmeal

World Traveler — Sat, 24 Nov 2018 19:53:05 GMT

Has he presented his specials on the oatmeal/oatbran yet? Hope I didn't miss it. Just realized that the big container I thought was oatmeal is something else. So, it appears I will be out of his brand in about 30 days.

It is the best isn't it! I have both, think I like the bran better but such outstanding quality.

Re: Andrew Lessman - Oatmeal

World Traveler — Sat, 24 Nov 2018 20:35:58 GMT

@Jtdmum Yes, it is very, very good. I tried both and I prefer the meal to the bran. Just a matter of texture preference. Would like to see him to steel-cut oatmeal. Love the texture of that the best.

I'm thinking I missed the boat and he probably had this item in October. Bummer!

I did not see it on special and I do check in to see what's up pretty much daily. I use all his vitamins and took a chance on his oat products. Steel cut oats would be the best! Love everything about them but cooking them, although there have been some good overnight recipes I've tried.

if I do see them on special I'll give a shout out!

I think it's part of his January TS's/Monthly Specials.

Oh my heavens.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while.

Lessman = 25.4oz = $1.17 per ounce

Bob’s Red Mill = 32oz = $.16 per ounce

Oatmeal.

Expensive Oatmeal.

I’ve heard it all.

That’s good ‘ole highway robbery.

@VaBelle35 Thanks! So glad I didn't miss it. Keeping my fingers crossed for this in January. I know he is pretty predictable on when he sells certain items, but I always forget to write it down. Maybe I should get his product for the brain! LOL!!!

Right now my focus is fixed on December 4 for the ChocoNuvo special. Maybe he will mention on that day what/when his next specials are and we will know for sure.

Re: Andrew Lessman - Oatmeal

His TS schedule used to be more predictable, but I think he has changed it up the last year.

The only ones set in stone seem to be Secure, Circulation & Vein Support, and Essential 1. He's been pairing them up with other things, doing two weekends in a row, plus Monthly Specials and then the Monday Night Shows with Adam.

His Host Pick stuff never seems to be a great bargain. I think because he can't do any of the TS products as a host pick, so he's limited in what to do that's popular.

I'll be interested to see his pricing on BeautyIQ and QVC down the road.

@VaBelle35 Thanks for the information. Maybe that is why I am fuzzy on his schedule throughout the year. I do know that ChocoNuvo can only be during the cool months.

Seems when I started with Andrew two years ago, I purchased a lot in August or September; I'm talking like around ten different things. But I like staying for sure with the items that take care of cholesterol, like ChocoNuvo, the Oatmeal/Oat Bran, and his CholestaCare. Think it is in Secure too, but I never cared for that so much.

My doctor took me off my cholesterol medication after I had been on these products for a few months. He could not believe how much my numbers had dropped when he got the lab results. Amazing! Doctor asked what I was doing....eating differently? No, I love my chocolate ice cream, etc., too much. Showed him the information on Andrew's products and he gave it high-fives! Said the plant sterols in those products are what are doing the trick and I don't need to change a thing as long as I am using his products. So I can do that and eat my cake too! ha!

I'm coming up on two years since he took me off the daily medication I was taking. Kudos to Andrew!

Andrew's TS's (the ones I have gotten) are always awesome, especially if you get the larger container, which is all I do with his products.

Just got a friend hooked on ChocoNuvo last month. She is a real connoisseur (ha!) of GOOD chocolate. You will never see her eating a Hersey Bar; she goes for the Godiva. But when she tried CN, she was in awe. One piece was not enough for her. Then when I told her it was made to help with cholesterol, she purchased a whole container for her husband. She prefers the 74%, but since he only likes 66%, she got that instead......anything to make sure he is taking something for his cholesterol and off his medications.

If during Andrew's December presentations this weekend (December 8-10) anyone hears him mention products he will be presenting in the near future (like January or February), please let me know if he states his great plant sterol oatmeal as one of them. I am so, so low in stock on that. I used two cups of it in a recipe recently, and now I'm down to maybe two weeks left of it for breakfast. I would like to have a good deal on that too.

Thanks in advance!

The 2 pack (180 servings) is currently $99. With the 20% coupon that HSN emailed today, you can get it for $79.

@World Traveler, how is his oatmeal different from the grocery? I probably need to eat more, but I really don't like it. Any info would be appreciated. I also saw a response on the bran. If you have had that, what do you think? TIA!

@SXMGirl

Since no one has responded to your ‘how is his oatmeal different’, I will.

It’s not different.

There’s nothing in his specific product which is not

in a grocery store brand.

What the grocery store does have?

Organic? Grocery store has it.

Gluten free? Grocery store has it.

What it doesn’t have?

Less packaging? Grocery store has it.

Shipping/handling? Grocery store has it.

Availabilty? Grocery store has it.

Different cuts of oatmeal for variety? Grocery store has it.

But more importantly, what good ole Quaker Oats doesn’t have?

The huge $$$ markup on a simple, basic HEALTHY food

sold everywhere for anyone at an amazingly cheap price.

I would encourage anyone who wants to spend more money

than necessary on simple cheap basic food??

Buy Quaker Oats for all the cholesterol benefits...

and Donate the Extra $$$ to your local Food Bank.

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be expensive.

@sidsmom, thanks for replying. I just could not imagine anything in his oatmeal that I would not find in my grocery aisle.

Re: Andrew Lessman - Oatmeal

World Traveler — Sun, 09 Dec 2018 15:29:17 GMT

@sidsmom Maybe money is not an issue with us.

You are assuming his oatmeal is like others. You said it wasn't any different from what is in store-bought oatmeal. You are undeniably wrong and you obviously have not tried it.

It has different cholesterol lower ingredients, like plant sterols. That is the reason it costs more. Many of us have had lab work done after using his products that have plant sterols in them, and our doctors have told us to stay with his cholesterol lowering products. And we do. I have been off statins for two years, thanks to his plant sterol (ester) products.

If you can't afford the product, that's fine. If you don't like the product, that's fine. But for many of us, we love his products because of how they have changed our lives.

Is there other ways to lower the cholesterol levels, like eating different? Of course! But for those of us who like to have our cake and eat it too, we go with his products.

But if money is an issue for you, he has it on sale this weekend and you can try it for yourself. It may be still more than you want to pay, and since you are so very happy with your store bought oatmeal, I think you should stay with it. But there is no reason to rain on anyone else's decision.

I know you post a lot on the plant-based whole-food thread, so I understand all that you are saying. However, not everyone wants to eat that way. So they should be free to get a product they choose without having someone try to make them feel like their decision is wrong or dumb, which is what you did when you previously wrote:

"Oh, my heavens. This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Lessman = 25.4oz = $1.17 per ounce

Bob's Red Mill = 32oz = $.16 per ounce

Oatmeal.

I've heard it all. That's good 'ole highway robbery."

And also what you did when you responded to the other poster.

It is still a FREE America where we can purchase what we want, pay what we want, and enjoy what we want. It would be nice if it was still a place where we can do it without being ridiculed for how we spend our money or the choices we make.
