Why Consider Subscription?

Choosing subscription isn’t about saving a few dollars — it’s about setting yourself up for real results.

Here’s why most SystemLS customers choose subscription:

  • Consistency creates change. The clinical evidence is clear: the biggest improvements in cravings, bloating, energy, and metabolism happen when you stay consistent over time — not when you use the product occasionally.
  • A routine that actually sticks. Our 60-day delivery rhythm matches the time it takes to form a new habit, making it far easier to stay on track.
  • Member-only pricing. Subscribers receive our preferred member price on every shipment — a simple thank-you for your commitment to your health.
  • Total flexibility. Pause, skip, cancel, or swap flavors anytime. No surprises.
  • Built for serious results. If you’re ready to make progress that lasts, subscription makes your routine automatic so momentum becomes effortless.

In short:
Subscription isn’t about “signing up.”

It’s about giving yourself the structure, support, and consistency that the science — and thousands of SystemLS customers — agree delivers the best results.

Natural Ingredients, For Natural Results

Parsley

Detoxify, De-Bloat And Fuel Vitality

Can help flush out excess water, reduce bloating fast, and nourish the body with a powerful hit of potassium and vitamin K. Parsley’s natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties can help the body fight back against toxins and inflammation - feeling lighter, cleaner, and more energised.

Capsicum (Bell Pepper)

The Metabolism-Charging Powerhouse

Clinically linked to enhanced calorie burning and fat oxidation, it can help people feel lighter, shed kgs and curb cravings...all without changing a regular routine

Dandelion

The Natural Body Debloater

Used for centuries to help flush out excess fluid, dandelion acts like nature’s gentle diuretic - it may help drop water weight and reduce puffiness. Plus, it's loaded with potassium to replenish what the body needs to stay balanced and energised.

Celery

Supports Healthy Blood Pressure & Circulation

Packed with potassium and blood flow-boosting compounds called phthalides, celery can help relax artery walls and support smooth, steady circulation. That means better heart health, less strain, and more energy to get through the day.

Don’t just take our word for it - the science says it best.

Ingredient Spotlight

Clinical studies show capsicum can help adults burn an extra 50–100 kcal/day by boosting thermogenesis. That’s roughly equal to walking 30 minutes on a treadmill. We’re not saying don’t exercise - but smart body-hacks like this can accelerate results alongside your diet and activity.

Small daily advantages → Big yearly results

  • +50 kcal/day = ~5 lb/year
  • +100 kcal/day = ~10 lb/year
  • This is why consistency matters - and why subscription is the smarter choice.

Evidence-Based Formula

We didn’t chase trends or marketing buzzwords. Every ingredient in Fluid Free is dosed for measurable results - just science that actually works.

  • Biological Properties, Bioactives, and Pharmacokinetics of Some Capsicum spp. and Capsaicinoids.
  • Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Carotenoids Extracted from Dried Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)
  • A review of the effects of Capsicum annuum L. and its constituent, capsaicin, in metabolic syndrome.

Why We Offer Commit & Save

Losing weight is hard enough. Most people don’t fail because the product doesn’t work -they fail because they stop too soon. That’s why our Commit & Save Plan is built around how real results actually happen.

The Science

Clinical studies show capsicum can help adults burn an extra 50–100 kcal/day by boosting thermogenesis - that’s roughly the same as a 30-minute walk every day.
That small daily advantage compounds over time:

+50 kcal/day = ~5 lb/year
+100 kcal/day = ~10 lb/year

It’s not about magic. It’s about math - and consistency.

The Habit

It takes around 60-90 days to build new habits and start seeing measurable changes. Taking Fluid Free for just 15 days won’t give your body the chance to adapt - and you’ll miss the real results that come with momentum.That’s why our plan runs for 60 days - because change takes time, and your body deserves that time.

The Value

We reward consistency with unbeatable value.

  • VIP Pricing: Your 60-day supply ships automatically at 40% off.
  • Product Swap: Swap flavors or products anytime.
  • Cancel anytime after your first 60-day cycle.

You get the best results and the best price - no gimmicks, no hidden catches.

The Bottom Line

If you’re serious about results, Commit & Save makes it simple:
the right formula, at the right dose, taken long enough for the science to work in your favor. Real results come from consistency - and this plan is built to help you stay consistent.

What Our Clients Say

At 32 and standing 6'2, I struggled with my weight after having my son, reaching 110kg and a size 24. Over the past eight years, I tried countless diets, but none were sustainable. When I discovered SystemLS™, I was skeptical but desperate. Surprisingly, within two weeks, I saw radical results and felt satisfied without overeating. I switched from Coca Cola to Coke Zero and gradually incorporated exercise into my routine. Losing 32kg over eight months has transformed my energy levels, improved my marriage, and boosted my confidence. SystemLS™ was the key to my success, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to lose weight and regain their life. Read Lessz

For those unexpected special events where you need to look and feel your best, Fluid Free Body Balance is here to help you radiate confidence. Fluid Free Body Balance has a combination of the herbs Dandelion, Celery & Parsley to reduce mild fluid retention and help restore body fluid balance.

Are your products certified?

Marketing a diet product is rarely a plain and simple matter. Stringent regulations govern food safety, requiring rigorous testing and scrutiny of advertising and sales materials for health-related products. This rigorous process ensures that health products meet the highest standards globally. I am extremely proud that SystemLS™ is manufactured in a state-of-the-art GMP and FDA-certified facility, ensuring exceptional quality and compliance, and I am thrilled to offer it worldwide.

Are SystemLS™ products vegan?

Aside from our Whey Protein blend, all SystemLS™ products are vegan. SystemLS™ offers clean, pure, and great tasting vegan protein powders that are highly soluble, making a healthy and delicious drink. In a world where demand for sustainable food sources is growing exponentially, SystemLS™ stands out as a conscious choice. With its creamy and smooth texture, delectable taste, and the added advantage of a unique blend of probiotics and digestive enzymes for increased absorption, SystemLS™ sets a new standard for premium Australian grown plant protein formulas.

There are so many fad diets and new brands, what makes SystemLS™ different?

As the many thousands of Australians who have used Leisa’s SystemLS™ products to shed dozens of kilos know, this straightforward, healthy meal replacement is a real winner!

This is because the SystemLS™ is a simple food solution in our fast moving world. It was developed by Leisa St. Ledger, a former police officer and now a working mother with three young children.

After the birth of her second child, with a busy household to run and concerned with the ill-effects of missed meals and her reliance on fast-fix foods and snacks, Leisa was fighting unwanted weight gain. None of the available methods was satisfactory to this former policewoman who knew the value of a healthy approach to life.

“We need to be realistic,” says Leisa. “In an ideal world we would prepare all our food from fresh sources and consume a balanced intake of fruit, vegetables, grains, lean protein and dairy foods. In everyday life this is not always possible.” Nevertheless, “good health and weight control are essential to well being.” When Leisa couldn’t find a suitable product to meet her daily needs, she developed her own.

SystemLS™ rapidly became a success story, with Australian television’s national Today Tonight program featuring countless stories on Leisa and the phenomenal success she and others achieved with the SystemLS™.

Within a short time, what began as a gem of an idea blossomed into a strong company, with over 20 years of experience that values evidenced-based research and quality product development as it surges to the lead in the weight loss market where many others have disappeared.


SystemLS™ is also very successful internationally with interest intensifying as the newly expanded product range takes weight loss to the next stage—weight control. Leisa’s Secret Advanced Weight Loss System is a complete program that enables you to take control like never before. Leisa’s Secret’s aim is to ensure you receive the most effective and proven formula that is available.


Each component of SystemLS™ has been developed as a result of extensive research and reliable evidence. SystemLS™ also recognises and combats the common pitfalls in weight loss. For example, many dieting aids make the mistake of assuming a ‘one size fits all’ approach. By cramming all essential ingredients into the one basket, the quality and effectiveness of individual components are compromised.

This has been of special importance to Leisa throughout the development of the latest additions to the SystemLS™ range of weight loss products. “We have not merely jumped on the weight loss ‘band wagon’ and formulated products based on marketing hype. There is no window dressing here. Our development team was meticulous in utilizing space to maximize the impact of our formulas. Our aim is to be absolutely certain that you are receiving the very best of what nature has to offer.”

Therefore an essential aspect behind the development of SystemLS™ was the thorough formulation of specific ratios of each key ingredient to ensure the proven effective dose of that ingredient.

What results can I expect?

Here is a handful of what other are saying about SystemLS™:

Rachael Lindsay
Rachael shed 11.5 kg through a 12-week program in 2002–03.

“As a diabetic with an under active thyroid gland and using hormone replacement therapy, I found it extremely difficult to lose weight. In December 2002, I weighed in at 108 kg. Thanks to Leisa’s SystemLS™, by February 2003, I had lost 11.5 kg in weight and 42.9 mm of body fat. I continued to shed weight. By June 2003, I was 25 kg lighter. I never felt hungry, but what was especially important was that I still had plenty of energy to succeed in my busy schedule. I worked full-time, studied part-time, and followed a daily exercise program. I also had my share of the housework and cooking.”

Champion weightlifter, Kevin Rogers, credits Leisa’s products as a major contributing factor in trimming down and keeping the weight off, leading to renewed success in his sport. “Two years ago, I tried Leisa’s products. I enjoyed it, and have been on it ever since. Thanks to Leisa I trimmed down nearly 13 kg. I have now become a champion weightlifter, winning national medals with the help of Leisa’s products. My recommendation to Leisa is not to keep it a secret, tell your friends about it!”

Liene Huttley used Leisa’s products for twelve weeks in conjunction with a sensible diet and exercise plan. “During that time I lost a total of 9 kg of body fat. I also lost 7.5 cm off my bust, 11 cm off my waist, 10 cm off my hips, and 11.5 cm off my thighs. I have gone from wearing a tight size 20 down to a size 16. I am absolutely rapt with the results achieved using Leisa’s products. Being a busy person with a young family I doubt I could have managed it without the assistance of this product. Leisa’s product is a tasty and convenient diet supplement, which helped me to feel full and provided me with all the vitamins, proteins and other nutrients required to stay healthy while losing weight. I found it unnecessary to take any other vitamin supplements while using Leisa’s products. I plan to continue using Leisa’s products as I continue my weight loss strategy.”

It's time to make you the next success story!

Health & Wellness

I have cut out added sugar and soft drinks now I’m eating more fruit and juice? Will this help me lose weight?

There is no doubt you have made some positive nutritional adjustments to your diet. This gives you a great start to improving your general health. However your situation is a prime example of where the quality of food consumed does not automatically induce a reduction in total energy intake. Fruit and fruit juice are highly energy dense foods and can still contribute a high level of energy intake. If the total energy intake from the sugar-based foods has now been replaced by the same amounts of energy from the fruit products then very little, if any, weight loss is going to occur with this substitution. Continue to use fruit and fruit juice in preference to sugar based foods, but be careful to modify the total amount used to within the guidelines set within our 10 week plan. Do not overeat or over-consume the fruit products or they will also impede your fat loss.

I heard that carbohydrates are converted to fat particularly if I eat them late in the day. Is this true?

Firstly the conversion of carbohydrates to fat in an average person is a very difficult and highly energy absorbing process. We call this process gluconeogenesis and in humans because the pathways require a lot of energy to power the conversion along, it is a difficult process to initiate.

Does this therefore mean that carbohydrates are safer to use than some people suggest?

No. Carbohydrates still contribute to the energy-in equation and in larger serves contribute to reasonable amounts of insulin particularly if they are high GI carbohydrates. We still need to treat carbohydrates with responsible caution, even the low GI forms. Our policy is carbohydrate modification but not carbohydrate avoidance.

What about excessive late afternoon or night eating?

The general trend for a number of weight gainers is to eat less food early and higher energy dense foods from mid afternoon onwards. This is a major cause of weight gain, not because of lower metabolism at night but simply because people eat too much in this zone of the day. Authors recommending major food group avoidance at this time of day, will often get success in weight loss for their client, not because of some metabolic shutdown but simply because the recommendations make people eat far less energy dense food. If you eat less you will generally lose weight.

So the simple answer is control your afternoon and night eating. If you get this zone of the day under control you will go a long way to getting success.

Is it true that exercising in the morning, before breakfast, burns more fat?

There is some small evidence that this does make a difference but there are also greater risks. Firstly the main fact – If previously you did little or no exercise and now you are participating in regular exercise, then 99% of the benefit is related to one point – You are Participating – You are DOING IT. There may be a 1% benefit in the positioning of your food. If you feel you need a 1% advantage then avoid breakfast before exercise.

The risk is that if your morning exercise routine grows in intensity, there is a greater chance of experiencing a low blood glucose response and feeling quite odd, spacey or fatigued. Be wary of this response. Fatigue in training will often compromise the workout.

Eating less food slows your metabolism or is this a myth?

Eating less frequently rather than smaller food portions has a greater influence on reducing metabolic response. Thus 5 small meals per day does not decrease the metabolic response to eating. Eating 3 or less meals per day is more likely to induce any reduced metabolic activity after eating over the whole day. Aside from frequency of eating and exercise, SystemLS™ products have been designed to address this issue by helping to assist and promote an optimal metabolic rate.

I’ve seen sporting people get fat after they retire. Is this because their muscles turn to fat?

Muscle is never converted to fat!! This is literally an enormous fallacy. The reason ex- sports people get fat is because they are expending less energy when they are not training regularly. However their brains are still programmed to eat large portions of food. Gradually in a less active- overeating environment, their muscle volume reduces and their fat stores increase.
These are two independent events- no conversion is occurring. Until these people reduce their food consumption they will continue to lay down more body fat.

I don’t think having “Small Treats” or “Your Choice” is good for me because once I break out with my eating I can’t stop. Am I better just to stick with the basic fixed choices listed in the menu?

If this remains a problem, then you have self diagnosed a “Disorder of Eating” which is a form of an “Eating Disorder”. There are significant emotional relationships that you are having with food and the process of eating. Unless this disorder is worked through with an appropriate professional, you will have little chance of ever having total success in weight management.

If the only time you trust yourself to control eating is when someone gives you a fixed menu with no random variation, then major long-term problems are about to evolve. Someone or some process has damaged your trust with food and yourself. This is in desperate need of repair and you will remain a Yo-Yo dieter who ultimately continues to gain weight.

I easily get bored on diets. Why is this going to be any better?

Sound weight management is about a mixture of control and effective downtime.

Control is essential to get the result you are looking for. Control occurs within the fixed menu cycle of this program.

Effective downtime is the normal energy release, which allows you to trust your free choice at specific allocated downtime periods. Thus “Your Choice” is designed so in a controlled time slot you can relieve your boredom by making an emotionally satisfying choice. This has been a highly effective technique in relieving real boredom.

Also beware of a similar feeling called pseudo boredom, which in reality is the feeling of frustration in disguise. This occurs when a person is stressed, feeling down or is not actively involved in anything interesting. This pseudo boredom is often carried through to your diet and thus you interpret your diet as “being boring”. In reality, the diet process is stopping you from accessing your highly pleasurable foods, which normally relieve your so-called “ I’m bored feeling”. This inability to access these pleasure foods is often interpreted as having a boring diet but reality shows that you are frustrated by your need to modify your regular food intake.

Take a step back and see if this self-diagnosed boredom is really frustration. If you can’t reduce your frustration by natural means, then professional help may be required to help reprogram your lifestyle.

My weight fluctuates all the time and that’s why I give up? Can you offer any help?

Everyone carries different physiological processes that lead to weight fluctuations. The common variable in this case is the amount of fluid your body releases and retains at different periods of the day. Some people through both genetics and medical conditions are vulnerable to significant fluid swings. Added to this environment, variants such as fluid intake, heat/humidity combinations and levels of activity all affect fluid retention and elimination. SystemLS™ Fluid Free – Body Balance was specifically formulated with this in mind

Seeking professional help with treating real fluid retention is probably the best advice. Outside of that, make sure you weigh at the same time in the same clothes and compare results over a four-week period of rigid diet control to measure real comparisons. Ignore day-to-day mild fluctuations.

I heard that walking is the best exercise for weight loss. Is this true?

Walking is the best exercise but only because it is readily accessible, can be done routinely and is relatively low risk. In reality, much higher levels of intense and mixed activities will give better results. Often this needs to be advised by an exercise professional who can supply safe technique and appropriate intensity.

Remember doing something rather than nothing is far more beneficial. So no matter what you are doing now, try to do a little more (within reason) and follow the SystemLS™ program.
