I have not tried any of their products, but as with other special prepared/processed  "diet" or "bariatric" products, I encourage people to avoid them or use them very sparingly.  First of all, they are FULL of chemicals, and if your goal is to truly be healthy, limiting the amount of heavily processed foods is important.  Second, these kinds of foods are very expensive (and the cost adds up very quickly).  People could be putting the money into their plastic surgery fund instead of paying exorbitant prices for special food! Finally, it is REALLY important to build up healthy eating habits that you can rely on form here on out for the rest of your life.  So unless you plan to incorporate these specialty foods into your diet permanently, you will be better off not using them while you are losing.  They may actually KEEP you from developing your own healthy meal plans and recipes, so may work against you in the long run.

Thanks Lora!

I appreciate honest feedback and I agree with you. I am trying to eat as clean as possible, and these just wont work out. I think I just find myself getting frustrated because I can't seem to tolerate much of anything food wise.

Thank you again for all the wise words, much appreciated!

I agree with what Lora said, BUT...I LOVE the soy chips. 
I think, given my past addiction to Lay's potato chips, they are a great alternative for a salty, crunchy craving.  There are several different flavors, so I can have a variety of salty, crunchy "fix". Some of the protein soup packets are quick, easy, portable meals. My favorite soups are the beef pasta and creamy tomato.
