My third week of being soy-free has ended and I can nearly say that if I should be able to notice any changes related to the issues with consuming soy then those issues are myths. I have no increase in energy and no change in weight. I have noticed not one single change. I have one more week to go and without noticing any changes I will be going back to my soy-eating ways. I may cut down on the processed soy only for the desire to cut down on it.
The past week has been quite uneventful unless you consider the usual trip to the grocery store and looking at labels more intently than a cat looking at a bird. I did pull off a Thai Green Curry dish that was easily soy-free but little else was out of the ordinary. My garden is still overflowing with okra so I’ll be frying that up soon.
I’m still looking for that soy-free soy sauce replacement. Any ideas?
no ideas here, but I have heard that all these bad things about soy are usually referring to the byproduct soy found in processed foods and not a more wholesome soy like edamame or tofu.
