You and me both, Prince. About the only way I eat soy is if I go out for Japanese food and order agadashi tofu, because it's deep fried and everything deep fried tastes DELICIOUS.™ I am fully aware that it's junk-food, and treat it as such.

If you cut at 1900 cal and you consume 80+g of Fat that means that almost 800 cal. a day is from fat so that leave 1100 cal. for the rest?maybe i ask what the heck do you eat??that means that your diet consist of about 42% Fat you you must not consume a lot of carbs,so where do you get your energy? i don't understand how most people cut out carbs from their diet even cutting diet.

The only time you really "need" carbs is before and after a workout, any other time and they're optional. I like to eat them at a few meals normally and even eat 1/4C rice almost right before bed. Others like to limit them only to when they're absolutely necessary - it's a personal choice for comfort.

What matters is the deficit.

i believe that soy is one of the main sources of protein
it is little more than puffed rice and oats otherwise...

What is so bad with soy protein?

Hi
I told you before that you should eat oil to every meal but I forgot tell you that you should reduce carbo.Carbo change quickly into fat but healthy oil do not change.In the first week you will be a little weak but later you body will start absorb fat and start change into energy.

Soy protein is good if you want lose weight because speed up your metabolism and stimulate your thyroid.Soy protein has also poor amino acid composition and low absorption.

I do not know you type of blood but if you have 0 you should avoid oats and eat spelt or rye flakes.Your body digest it better.

Soy doesn't speed up your metabolism! It competes with your thyroid for iodine - soy's a goitrogen. It interferes with thyroid function.

You can get fat as hell overeating healthy fat. You can get fat as hell overeating damned near anything.

Regarding blood type - while I'm not a fan of grain in general, I'm fairly sure there's more to food intolerance than blood type.

Soy protein isolate increases urinary estrogens


Soy protein isolate increases urinary estrogens an...[J Nutr. 2007] - PubMed Result

Might be a good thing if your at high risk of developing prostate cancer, cant see any other benefit however.

Why would high urinary estrogen be good if you are at risk of prostate cancer?

Edit - I see, it reduces systemic estrogen which is a risk factor. Interesting.
