My month-long soy free journey is nearly at an end.\u00a0 As I have stated in past posts<\/a>, I have felt no change, in energy or weight loss, during this time.\u00a0 So many pieces of research I have read before and during this trial has stated that there is a direct link with soy and the thyroid and a significant decrease in soy intake will result in heightened energy levels and potential weight loss.\u00a0 I have read studies indicating consumption of soy in relation to memory loss and concentration issues. \u00a0 All of those have not proven themselves during this test and so, from my standpoint, are bunk.\u00a0 During this time not only have I given up the more wholesome soy in its unrefined form but I took out of my diet the processed soy you find in just about every snack food.<\/p>\n

I have had visitors to the blog since I started this project who are vegan and allergic to soy. \u00a0 To me that’s willpower.\u00a0 Being allergic and unable to consume soy but then taking it one step further and deciding to be vegan for whatever reason, that takes willpower!<\/p>\n

Eating out was limited for the past month.\u00a0 Most items contain some soy additive and sometimes, even with known vegan stuff, you just don’t know if it has soy or not so it was better to abstain.\u00a0 I did some deep checking into some places and found an item here or there.\u00a0 One thing I managed to find out was soy free was the sweet & sour at Pei Wei<\/a>.\u00a0 I had assumed eating anything Asian would be out during this time and considered myself lucky on this one.\u00a0 Sweet & Sour vegetables with rice fit nicely and I managed to get a plate piled with fresh veggies and a tasty sauce that hit the spot.\u00a0 A trip to Atlanta left out most of our favorite eateries except for Eats.\u00a0 You can’t find soy in the pesto or a big veggie plate and you can’t go wrong at Eats!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After this is over I’ll be going back to soy.\u00a0 Of all the things I missed I think the soy milk in my coffee would be the first to come to mind.\u00a0 As I said before I didn’t notice any changes during this time.\u00a0 Maybe after the upcoming holidays I’ll do this again and have some bloodwork done before and after just to benefit those in doubt.\u00a0 I’ve made it through one month, I can do it again.\u00a0 Willpower!<\/p>\n
