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.
