I watched last night, before going to bed, and almost bit on the TS. I did a little more research this morning. Unfortunately, the Secure contains soy protein and I'm reluctant to use that on a daily basis.

I ordered the largest size. It will be my first time trying a meal replacement. I like that the tea, oatmeal and energy supplements are included, and I'll get all three favors. Regarding soy vs whey, Andrew's explanation that this is non-gmo soy and soy gets a bad rap convinced me to try it. I've been running this year and now need to rein in the calories. Excited to try this regime.

He makes Whey Secure now, but it's not at TS pricing.

@philogirl I wasn't referring to the GMO vs. non-GMO argument (I heard Andrew's explanation too). I was talking about soy itself, GMO and non-GMO, and how it's utilized/not utilized in the body, and how it can actually be harmful.

I wonder why he doesnt . They both cost the same when they are not on sale

Hi Jean-Louise,

Thanks for the reply. I did understand why you didn't want the soy. The GMO fact is just my rationale for purchasing. I don't know much about it. I'm sure you are correct and I would have chosen the other had it been an option.

I did not purchase anything this time, but I do have the Pena Colada Secure and I can tell you it is delicious. It is really creamy and it is sweet. The good thing is you can add moe liquid or less secure to get the taste you like. I have had it for a while just drinking it here and there for a treat. Tomorrow I am starting to use it as a meal replacement. That is my goal anyway LOL.

I wish he would get off the soy train. Soy was never, ever made to be a food product. I don't care GMO or not, it was made into a food product during the great depression. Research.

I would not argue anyone who ingests it. It is a personal decision for anyone.

I would think that the reason the soy based one is the TSV and the non-soy one is not the same price is COST. Whey costs him more to make. Hence not the TSV price.

Get free shipping though

Even though it's Non-GMO it still has Acesulfame Potassium (non-nutritive sweetener), Sucralose (non-nutritive sweetener) in it. Ace K gives me a headache? Does anyone else that uses his Secure Meals get a headache when you drink them?

I have never gotten a headace from his meals. I've used the Whey and do not like it at all. The Soy mixes well with everything and with good results. Mabe it's not perfect, but it's better than the junk found in the super markets.

Is anyone concerned about the artificial sweeteners in the Secure?

Yes. My nurse advised me to avoid artificial sweeteners. I did try Secure a few years ago and did not care for the taste

Re: Andrew Lessman

Another concern is a 70 Calorie meal. I eat 4 to 5 small meals a day so this would not provide enough calories for me.

Re: Andrew Lessman

CoastalGal — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 21:16:01 GMT

For me, it could only really be a subsitute for breakfast, other meals I need something more substantial . I use it as one of my snacks beween meals. Since its so low in calories , i sometimes will have a shake and something around 100 to 150 clories with it.

I feel I need something to chew not only drink.

@SundayPeaches, I love Andrew's supplements but I won't use the soy Secure mainly because the soy in it can give me an upset stomach about 15% of the time.

Over time, I've pretty much stayed away from artificial sweeteners. -- At some point, I may pick up his unsweetened Whey protein isolate (10 gms of protein per serving).

I really like the taste of the coffee secure, mixed with water is very good. So is the Vanilla flavor, tried the pina colada and didn't care for it so much. Have not tried the chocolate, it looks good.

I have stopped using all Secure a long time ago, it was giving me too much gas and bloating! Seriously, it just was not worth it. I think a combination of the soy and artificial sweetener is a turbulant one

Andrew always focus on taste, yes it does taste good, and is creamy and disolves well, but in my opinion, the ingredients are not healthy.

Artificial sweetener is a destructive substance in many ways. And yes it most certainly does cause headaches among other things.
