When I wake up in the morning I can weigh in around 171 and by the end of the day, I might weigh 176...and then it's all gone by the next day. I understand that it might be water weight, but it's just really getting frustrating. I'm beginning to wonder if I should also go on a see food diet...you know, you see it, you eat it...

I wouldnt drink soy milk either(some will argue) but it has estrogenic properties.

Also, the only reason I drink soy milk is because I'm lactose intolerant Anyways, do you have a recommended bulk diet?
