LESSMAN MEAL REPLACEMENT BARS?

Tinkrbl44 — Sat, 17 Feb 2024 02:17:00 GMT

Just looked at the ad for his Secure Meal Replacement bars ..... only 7g of protein?

Have you tried them?

Does anyone think only 7 grams of protein is enough for any meal?

@Tinkrbl44 For me 7-8 grams is a good amount of protein. My husband prefers 10-12.

IMO, they're no better than a candy bar.

So are gummies that people are popping into their mouths nonstop. Candy.

I really wanted to like them. I couldn't eat them.

I tried his first version of these and didn't like them. There was an aftertaste; I think it was the stevia. Supposedly he has replaced stevia with a little sugar. However, when I did eat half a bar, which was the portion, I'd say it satisfied my hunger only for about an hour.

I really like them and am glad I got several boxes before he took a break from making them in order to put them in smaller individual packaging and to take care of the Stevia by switching in a small amount of sugar.

I went ahead and ordered some more thru ProCaps, who has them up on their website for sale already.

Anyone know why the choices are just the chocolate and the coconut this time, and don't include the peanut?

@Tinkrbl44

So disappointed.

I am not trying to skip a meal to lose weight.

I am in the camp of hectic schedules that have me skipping a meal and wanting an easy, healthy thing I can quickly grab. Healthy something.

Besides the low protein, he added sugar and there's fat.

Yuck.

Not much choice. If you don't like chocolate, you're eating coconut.

I really like them and feel 7 grams of protein is good for a snack. Zero cholesteral and zero trans fats, lots of vitamins/minerals. I think they are pretty good for when you just need a pick me up. I have to travel with bars as DH gets hypoglycemic very easily, he's a "grazer" by nature and needs to eat every couple of hours. These are great, easy to carry in my backpack for travel or my purse for errands. I love Andrew Lessman's products!

@1Professor Hi! Did you try them the first time he presented them, and didn't like them, or is it that you just don't like the fact that he has now put sugar in them?

I heard his presentation last year when he mentioned that he didn't want to put sugar in them, but because of the reviews he received, he would be adding a bit in.

And also the other thing he changed because of reviews was to have them individually packaged instead of two-in-one-bar.

@World Traveler Hi, there!

Tried them the first time and liked them. Peanut ones.

@World Traveler I was also one who faithfully just ate 1/2 the over-sized bar.

I think that because I am a Lessman fan and take many of his supplements, the NEW secure bars just were not made for me. Not healthy enough to feel good about skipping a meal. Great for others.

I do love Lessman's Oat Bran (I make oat bran muffins, no butter, no milk, no eggs, each week, delicious).

I take the multi vitamin, the eye vitamins, the CoQ10, the Omega, the healthy hair (biotin), magnesium. Mostly healthy heart supps.

@LTT1 Those look fabulous, just checked them out on Amazon.

LOTS of added sugar in a single bar, though. More than Lessman.

I tried his "meal replacement" shakes. While the taste was OK, no way, for me, is it a meal replacement. A snack, maybe but no more. I've tried a couple of his vitamins and this product and was not impressed by any of them. I know he has his loyal followers. I'm not one.

@1Professor Oh, I do admire your resolve!

On the other hand, I could not just eat half of the peanut bar. I started out being good about that, but they were just too tasty and I stopped being firm about it. Then I would take a couple of ChocoNuvos to right the wrong I committed.

I didn't try the previous bars although I may think about trying these. I like that they are a single portion bar (I thought it ridiculous that you were supposed to eat half a bar previously) and I don't mind some sugar if the stevia gave them an aftertaste. I also don't mind 7g of protein (many bars with a lot of protein also have a lot more calories) and this has added nutrients others likely don't have. I just don't know how long they would be filling?

I think you have to decide what you want it for - snack, meal, protein for working out, and what you want more or less of in a bar - carbs, fat, sugar, calories.

I just tossed out a half box. I didn't like the taste of the consistency.
