Soyless Living

Soy Less Life

Day 9
The First 21 Days

 

Hey Diary,

 

Soy, is one of the 7 foods (NO NO Foods) to avoid on the Virgin Diet regimen.  When I read this about the diet, I was relieved because of my own experience with soy a few years ago.

Years ago, nearly everyone was raving about soy milk and its incredible benefits.  I could hardly wait to try it. But when I started drink soy milk, I noticed that I began to feel different, bloated, tired, and began to gain weight, even though I was eating the same foods that I had always eaten.  I did not like feeling like that- so I stopped drinking soy milk.  Approximately 2 years ago I started eating edamame which are soybeans. I liked the way that they tasted, but again, I revisited the same experience as with the soy milk. And so, I began a soyless life.

Until I started the Virgin Diet, I did not know that soy was bad for some people. It certainly was not good for me. JJ Virgin says that some of the problems with soy is:

• Disrupts your hormones
• Bad for your thyroid
• It's genetically modified
• It's overly processed

I also did not know that soy is hidden in foods.
