Soy - What's the Big Deal?

[ajo]

Soy is not the best protein available but it is beneficial.
Some claim that soy protein can boost your metabolism and burn fat.
Personally, I mix a scoop of soy protein with my whey shakes with will slow down the absorbion of the whey.
I hope that this has been helpful.

Dude, being chinese, I eat soy because I like the taste. It's integral to our diet in addition to the crap load of pork beef and chicken I eat in a day. Soy milk, tofu, soy sauce. Soy by itself is neither that healthy or unhealthy. There are a million ways to make greasy very tasty highly unnutritious tofu.

Vegans all...

Both my kids are vegetarian with one a vegan and she's not that hot on soy. Thinks that it isn't good to use too much of it. I think she tends to use edamame (green bean) or tofu much more than the more refined/prepared stuff. I sent her a copy of the diet of a ma/weight lifter who posted here and she thought that it overdid the protein intake. The kids seem to go for a well balanced diet more than emphasizing what might be thought of as "what high protein part of this meal is supposed to replace the meat" tonight at dinner type thinking. I do notice that after some low protein meals they both seem to hit the soy milk and a good cereal and/or seem to feed their faces with handfuls of nuts, and such.

I would just like to add that tofu tastes like bean curd, while meat tastes like murder, and murder tastes pretty damn good.

Nothing beats that fresh club baby seal sandwich taste.

Soy does have tonnes of estrogen- I used to be a man !

I eat tofu twice a week, but soy milk sucks. I've tried getting on with it but I can't! Gaaaah!

Specially when the blood is still dripping off it with every bite you take!! Yeah!

Soy is good but man, I need to know some of my protein was ripped off in chunks from an animal carcass.

Vegetarian method of combating the estrogen in soy - always serve it with a tribulus sauce problem solved.
