Try Secure FREE

If you've read my blog before, you probably know how much I looove Andrew Lessman. He's been featured on HSN for the last three days and he needs to hurry up and leave before I'm completely broke, but exceptionally healthy.

Anyway, if you're interested in trying the Today's Special Secure Meal Replacements, but you aren't sure if you're ready to take the plunge by spending money on yet another diet product, try it for free--yes, free! my favorite four-letter f-word next to food--here.

I've tried it, so I know it's not a scam or anything.

My favorite flavors are coffee and vanilla and I like to actually mix them into my real coffee. It's quite tasty if I do say so myself. You can check out other recipes here.

And, in my ongoing effort to promote home shopping products that are made right here in the USA, I would like to point out that all of Andrew's products are not only made in America, but they are made with solar energy.

Just a Sprinkle a Day, Makes the Fat Go Away!

All you have to do is shake some Sensa sprinkles on your food and you will lose weight!

That’s the claim anyway.

Although I personally find this a little hard to believe, QVC is betting on it working (or at least selling!).

According to the Sensa website, when they tested the product on 1,436 people, they lost an average of 30.5 pounds in 6 months without changing their diet or exercise plan. Now as impressive as that sounds, they could have stacked the deck by using more men (who lose weight faster) and using chubbier people (who have more to lose). I don’t know. Seems too good to be true.

The sprinkles, developed by Dr. Alan Hirsch of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, are supposed to work by intensifying the smell and taste of food, which helps suppress hunger and tricks the brain into feeling full. So, ultimately, even though you can eat whatever you want, you end up eating less of it.

The long term effects haven’t been studied yet. And anyone who’s been on the weight-loss roller coaster knows that it’s harder to maintain the weight loss than lose weight. What happens when you stop sprinkling? Do you become a sprinkle addict???

So what’s in these magic sprinkles anyway? They certainly aren’t going to give that information away since they are sitting on a goldmine, but they do say that they are made out of artificial and natural ingredients approved for use in food by the FDA.

There are two types of the non-caloric sprinkles: the salty ones for savory foods and the sweet ones for the sweet stuff. And although flavors like cheddar cheese, mocha, horseradish, strawberry are in the mix, you aren’t supposed to taste the sprinkles once they are on your food.

I must admit that even though this looks highly suspect, I’m intrigued and tempted to try it. If you’re interested, you can go ahead an order it here or wait until it’s on the Q in a few months.

Is this a Shake-n-Fake or the real deal? Should I give them a try???
